No he wasn't, and no, he didn't. The Bible, however, does talk about and condone child sacrifice (re: Jepthah's daughter).

I'm not getting into this debate other than to correct your statement - nowhere, including your cited passage, does Yahuah or scripture, ever condone human sacrifice. A girl, about to be 'sacrificed', would not bemoan her future of not having children if her physical life was ending ....

One of my biggest reasons for not being a Christian. That along with the "no-compete" I mentioned earlier.
There is a great poster someone put up on my FB page with Abraham and his Son walking down a hillside, and his son looking back at Abraham and saying, "You want to tell me what the F-- that was about?"

You a disrespect a respected theologian and still reject the truth. If you don't forsake Masonry and come to Christ you're going to Hell.

Brothers, I respect your opinions on many things, and I certainly understand why you feel the way you do about many Christian "Fundimentalists" often in need of a better theological education. But do remember that many brothers are in fact Christian, and the protestant movement itself is in no small part related to the birth of masonry. Don't throw all Christians in the same lot as this guy. Personally while I do not agree with much of theology practiced by many denominations today, I have come to a sincere beleief that Yeshua was the Messiah...and in fact our degrees are largely based on his wisdom. Many brother sof course also do have very much mainstream Christian theological values as well... so let's not get drawn into attacking Christianity (and our brothers including myself) as a whole because of a few bad eggs who could not even tell you who and what happened for the first 500, 1000, 2000 years of the various Churches. For every poorly educated thumper I have met, I have met far more ministers, clergy, priests etc who are of sound education and are often Masons, and who would defend anyones right ot worship per their faith freely. Not all masons are Christian, but every degree does have foundation in the Bible, and our brotherhood would simply not exist without Christ.

Thank you at last! I wish my father could speak with you. I wish the world of Masons would also hear you, but your coming up against a legion who sadly have a spirit of rebellion and love their deception because they do good works. Satan is the best at hiding his evil through the sweetest channels. This dark force is reknown for good works and appearing benevolent.
You're forgetting how popular it is to hate Christians though. It gets less subtle all the time. No one in my lodge ever seems to mind a mention of other religions outside the lodge room, but mention Christ and hackles get raised. Sure, the guys who post here are terrible examples of Christians, but still......brother masons should rise above the pettiness and name calling I see so much here.
I've never seen that happen. What I HAVE seen happen is someone not thinking clearly when offering a prayer in lodge and closing it with "In Christ's name we pray" when there are Jewish and Muslim brothers bowing their heads in prayer as well. Sometimes that chaplain gets admonished for his careless disregard, other times it slides. Which is right?
