That talks a whole lot about 'God'. For us non-masons, please tell us which God?
This is attached to a KJV bible, so one could assume it's the 'God of Abraham' etc
But I'd rather hear it from you.
A lot of people say that the Masonic God is a different god ...
I'm not being snarky ... I'm sincerely asking. Thanks.

Perhaps, but they were part of the same faiths and values that Masonry fought to keep alive.
Masonry kept the stepping stones intact, but not the exact destination or doors to which they lead, shall we say?

The New Testament is based on the Old Testament, yet tells a completely different story about God? Seems legit.

I have a quick question for the Masons on this board,
So you don't believe in "god" but the idea of a one creator?
Does this also serve as the foundation for acceptance as a Mason,
As in does the Foundation for the Mason's allow free-religion; Or just so as long as the religion has one "god"?
I guess I'm confused as to what you'd tell a buddhist if he wanted to be a Mason, Or would your service to man force you to accept him even though he doesn't believe in just "one" god?
Honestly just confused on this subject in general.

There is no Masonic god. A freemasons god is the one he chooses to worship. In the USA and western Europe, the most common religious system is Christian, so we symbolically use this book as the Volume of Sacred Law.

...If this is truly the Masonic Bible, I no longer desire to be a Mason.
I refuse to serve the god of the supposed "Holy Scriptures". To venerate is reasonable. To serve is abhorrent. 'Free will' becomes a very bad joke in the face of eternal servitude to save your immortal soul, to the very being who gave you that soul and free will.
