Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar ... and sometimes the truth is very simple.
John ... 'in the beginning was The Word, and The Word was with God, and The Word was God'.
VERY SIMPLE. This is JESUS he is talking about. He said Jesus has always been GOD.
It's not complicated. It's a very simple statement and very clear.
Its easy to understand so why complicate it.... exactly what I am saying. The reason why its made complicated is because man has confused the Word and not looking at it through the spirit realm... we are spirits...no? Yes!
/...
His story is a reflection of us. We reflect God. Like a mirror.....
Actually when asked by his followers Joshua told then to Read Jonah and then they would understand what he was doing.
1. The Bible has been Misinterpreted for years and everything in it twisted to Control People. So leaning a few Dead languages helps to read the words in the original and use those meanings.
2. The Torah and the Old testament came from Zoraster and the 1 God religion of the Persians and Sumerians
in all cases G-D was a Triune Being Trinity.
3. I agree we all come from the One pieces and go back.
4. Understanding the writings of the Gnostics can better show what Joshua Taught.

Then this explains why Mr. Freemason is on another level of thinking then. The lodge he is a member of does not accept any Muslims. I now wonder WHO they accept in regards to religious beliefs.
Why? Is it against the rules?
Speaking of politics.... What do you think the Rothschild's goal is as a Freemason?
Is the Koran really that similar though? I would say it coupled with the Old Testament can tell us more about the ways of God and his wants for his children, thats for sure. When compared to the Old Testament they do (imo) offer missing links.
If your lodge does not discriminate with the religious, I think it is a wonderful thing then. If the true intent is out of love, I find it to be a really good thing. Have you read a book or heard of, John J. Robinson? He is 32° Mason, authored the book Born in Blood, which proposes a Masonic-sponsored Temple of All Religions be built in Jerusalem. If this is the case in point.... a goal of the Freemasons then I wonder what the true intent really is. Sorry, I am skeptical.
I understand its not based on the teachings of Solomon. What I don't understand is how he was "the first freemason" and how he is soooo loved when he taxed people?
I think God in the OT looks down upon a temple of man made hands and says he does dont dwell there.

You keep mentioning Scottish Rite. I am not so sure this lodge is Scottish Rite.
He is Grand York Rite, if that makes a difference.

His home lodge would lose their charter if they did not accept men of all faiths that expressed belief in a Supreme Being, technically they should not even be asking anyone what their religion happens to be, only whether they believe in God or not.
Yes. Religion and politics are not discussed in lodge as part of each state's constitution and it is grounds for suspension for doing so.
I have no clue, I do however think they make tasty wine.
I found many of the Koran's stories to be very similiar to ancedotes in the Old Testament.
I read the book and do not recall the 'Temple of all Religions' that you mentioned. Can you provide the quote?
He is not refered to as the 'first freemason' in Masonic ritual.
How so, considering God told David that he would not build the Temple but it would be left to his son, Solomon, instead?
48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet, 49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest? 50 Hath not my hand made all these things? (Acts 7:48–50 )

There is no such thing as a York or Scottish Rite Lodge. The lodge where one was raised is refered to as your Home Lodge. From there you can join appendant orders such as the York or Scottish Rite. If the Mason in question is a member in the same lodge as doodle's then he is refering to the Blue Lodge which has nothing to do with either the York or Scottish Rite.
The reason I mentioned the Scottish Rite is because you said he was a 14th degree Mason, there is no such thing. You are a 14th Degree member of the Scottish Rite (with the caveats I mentioned above), this confers no additional rank or priviledge while you are in attendance at your home lodge. All Masons there are 3rd Degree and are equals.

I really do believe that you are open to listening to the spirit world (angels) where more information can be given to you and you can see the metaphors and secret meanings of the bible.
But most Christians are annoying (Not you MamaJ you are cool )
Do research on "The 'Prophecies' of Saint Malachy" - it talks about his prophecies and how the next pope is the last one when:

Well, what do you want me to say? I have no idea why he would say those things if it were not true. Someone is either lying or exaggerating and its not me. Thats all I know.
So in regards to the Rothschild's you just think they make tasty wine. Ok. So be it.
I gave you the entire books name and author. There are many quotes if you want to google it. I bet there are videos about it too. Have no idea.
Thats what I have read over and over again. So.... who was then?
Yeah, he did tell David. What do you think it signified in the overall plan and why do you think God destroys anything having to do with money changers who are corrupted by said material?

Mr. Freemason TOLD ME he is a 14 degree Freemason and yes, it is at the Blue Lodge.
The man who showed me around was a 3 degree Freemason but there are many there who are much higher and they both told me to come back and talk to the elders who were higher up.
I don't know anything about you, how you know whats what there but one of us is mistaken and its not me. Im not trying to be rude.... I am being as honest as I can be.
Mr. Freemason has been in it for many more years than to be a 3 degree and a bunch of old men are more than 3.... its obvious not to mention they told me so.

First Mama, I must apologize for being wrong in stating that people who worship Allah would not want to be Masons. Thanks to Augustus for pointing out that they can and do.
I usually take it to heart when people misrepresent the Masons. I am married to one and have several family members who belong to the Masons. I find it hard to believe that my peaceful Grandfather could have belonged to a group supposedly so sinister.
I messages the Lodge's website so that he might better understand where our local Mason's are coming from. I really want to dig deeper into this subject and will be attending breakfast tomorrow, so I will see if I can flip a few rocks and uncover anything.
My husband has politely asked me to stop defending the Mason's as I am a woman and do not need to defend them, LoL. I will leave that for Augustus. I don't have the most reliable knowledge of them anyway, which would be experience.
I just beg of you to not let one Mason lead your opinion of the whole. In my opinion they are just a bunch of good guys in a club that meet one night a month.

My gut is telling me the Anti-Christ if coming in the material would have to be someone who would fool the Christians and I believe the only one who can do that would be the Pope. I don't know..... still pondering it all.
Im sure once the video sinks in there will be more to think about. lol

Here are some other possibilities to think about.
What if... "The" Anti-Christ isn't a person just like "The" family isn't a person? What if The Anti-Christ is a spirit that is controlling the masses without people even knowing it is already here?
What if... Someone makes a "Fake" Anti-Christ so that when the Real Anti-Christ gets here they think it is the return of Jesus, and all Christians can be fooled thinking the Anti-Christ already came?
or... What if The Anti-Christ ALREADY came and gone and now The Christ IS returning and people will mistake Christ for The Anti-Christ? And the elite will be happy to get people to reject The Christ...
or... What if The Book of Revelations is actually a demonic influence? All of the other writers of the bible claimed to be under the influence of the Holy Spirit - but THIS author claims that an "Angel" revealed this message. John (The author of Revelations) said that an Angel told him that God told Jesus about this prophecy. Why so much rumors? Why didn't Jesus or The Holy Spirit just say so directly like all other books in the bible instead of sending a random "Angel"?
Why is it that New Testament says God holds no records of wrong doing, and that Jesus says he did not come to condemn, but in the Revelation he is condemning the world and having a "Book of Records"?

Is the Book of Revelations heresy? [LINK]
