There may be some actual Masons who believe that as well, but if so, they too, have no comprehension as to the teachings of Masonry.
Dude, if they believed what I typed there I would question their sanity. However, that is what I've gleened from YOUR posts. I just put them together. YOU said those thing mate, not me.
Give me a break are your meds starting to kick in to.
I would recommend that you check out the www.abovetopsecret.com..." target="_blank" class="postlink">T&C, specifically #'s 1&2.
I think it is you that has no comprehension as to the teachings of Masonry.
Maybe, I've read both of the sides to this issue in this forum but to this point, with few exceptions, only the Masons look openminded to me.
The lie...
“…salvation by faith and the vicarious atonement were not taught as now interpreted, by Jesus, nor are these doctrines taught in the esoteric scriptures. They are later and ignorant perversions of the original doctrines.” (J. D. Buck, “Mystic Masonry,” p.57)
"Acacian: a term signifying a Mason who by living in strict obedience to obligations and precepts of the fraternity is free from sin." (A. Mackey, "Lexicon of Freemasonry, page 16). Strict obedience includes not witnessing about Jesus or even mentioning His name in the Lodge.
Links please so that I can check this out for myself, to see if the context is accurate.
The truth...
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
Can argue with that one.
Freemasonry is a religion that is anti-christian.
What is "anti-christian"? I was raised Jehovah's Witness and they believe that other religions are part of Christendom, not the true religion. Look at the divide between Catholicism and Protestantism, they are at odds. What about Evangelical Christianity? Different yet again. Damn, Christianity is fragmented in itself. So, once again, what's your point? Christianity seems to be anti-christian itself.
See, that's how you make an arguement. Logic. If you want help with the "warp drive" theory, let me know.

He has excerpts from Jim Shaw's book - The Deadly Deception - in which Shaw lies repetively about his experiences within freemasonry.
I particularly liked the bit where he says "George (Bush) and Bill (Clinton) are confirmed freemasons". Confirmed by who? That about sums it up for me.
I wouldn't bother with it, but if anyone wants to discuss any aspect whatsoever of that site I would be happy to oblige.

Mind you, being a mason yourself you could tell us things but of course you can't.
A rational no holds barred open discussion could resolve this on-going debate but we both know why it isn't going to happen.
