What's your issue with Freemasonry?
My Issue with Freemason is I love them but don't know where to find them so I can thank them for my welcome mat herein in the states.
Also... Nobody... and I mean nobody!... likes Pinocchio here at ATS! Why'o'Why???
Am I not, according the profile pic my own, the most handsomest ever? Even my colors are cool!

Are you sure you want me to say what you already know?
The ritual is accompanied by the literature.
If you are lower than 32, you cannot rise above apart from figuring it out yourself.

I can tell you straight up what my problem with you is and maybe shed some light on why nobody likes Pinoccchio on here at ATS and that is your version of Pinocchio... instead of having the relaxing Disney version of Pinocchio in your avatar you have the scary 1800's faded strange different countries Santa Clause art deco version of the boy with the big nose, other then that your good to go.....Lol.
But back on topic i think the OP is just trying to show the difference in his opinion between the theological aspect of Masonic Theosophy vs the Bibles version of it and then the topic took turns of spiritual debates.

The thing you might not readily see is what I point out.

Uh, no you did not. You said it takes place in the ritual, BE SPECIFIC. In what degree? What are the words or symbols used to do what you claimed?

You point nothing out. You proselytize, quote endless amounts of scripture, evasively avoid answering questions and fabricate anecdotes to support your untenable positions.
" Iamblichus, the Alexandrian philosopher, in writing of the Mysteries, says: “Using the reason alone Man can never come to any true realization of what he is in himself; that is, he can never understand by the mind alone that he is an eternal spiritual entity, a brilliant star shining by the light of its own essence.” Iamblichus makes it quite clear that “not by discursive reasoning or through philosophical thinking alone does one come into fellowship with the gods. It is through the awakening of the higher spiritual powers by means of the rites of theurgy that the consummation of the long ages is effected.”
Now “theurgy” is simply another name for magic—the magic of the Masonic ritual, let us say, the modern vehicle of the Ancient Mysteries through which the Seeker for the Light may find reality. This great purpose is beautifully stated by Bro. Wilmshurst. “The union of the personal soul with its divine principle—Masonry has no other objective than this,” says Bro. Wilmshurst. “All other matters of interest connected with it are but details subsidiary to this supreme achievement.”
Freemasonry is ceremonial magic—a mystical system established in the dim ages of the past by those spiritual teachers who were the guides of our infant humanity, and which remains today the chalice of the wisdom, unchanged in its inner potency, ever available to all who seek. The neophyte entering a Masonic lodge has this wonderful opportunity to find the ancient path, but that “door which gives upon the Infinite” will open only for the candidate whose deepest longing is for spiritual understanding."

I have enjoyed many of your posts, I hadn't seen any of your posts that implied you held supremicist beliefs, and would be dissappointed if you had. Your presence proves that nonsense is better than no sense at all.

When my father was in the Masons, he refused to have his students march a parade on Sunday. For that, he was fired from the school by request of the Masons. God was in this. My father quit the Masons and found his calling in life in a school and community that honored God above mankind.

I will let a Freemason do the talking for me. The rest of this forum thread I link covers the subject.
