"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
That which we must say to the crowd is, we worship a god, but it is the god one adores without superstition. To you sovereign grand inspector general, we say this and you may repeat it to the brethren of the 32nd, 31st and 30th degrees - the Masonic religion should be by all of us initiates of the high degrees, maintained in the purity of the luciferian doctrine.
If lucifer were not god, would Adonay (the God of the Christians) whose deeds prove cruelty, perfidy and hatred of man, barbarism and repulsion for science, would Adonay and His priests, calumniate Him?
Yes, lucifer is god, and unfortunately Adonay is also God, for the eternal law is that there is no light without shade, no beauty without ugliness, no white without black, for the absolute can only exist as two gods. darkness being necessary for light to serve as its foil, as the pedestal is necessary to the statue, and the brake to the locomotive.
Thus, the doctrine of Satanism is heresy, and the true and pure philosophical religion is the belief in lucifer, the equal of Adonay, but lucifer, god of light and god of good, is struggling for humanity against Adonay, the god of darkness and evil”

Freemasons had their part to play in the construction of the USA. They were creating a nation that was secular in nature with the ideal that there was a God, but no God as most understand that word to mean. They meant power, and that power would be the State, or in this case the central government. The word God as used by them is a double speak meaning and simply refers to supreme or all powerful. That means political power and money.
Um....no. Historically challenged.
Learn first, speak second.
A house divided against itself cannot stand. She is talking about the downfall of America, when you under the spirit of conviction,
when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.

Well, like I said. I know my history and have kept up on it. Freemasonry was all over it. In fact if you look on any dollar bill of the great seal you will see the phrase, "Announcing the birth of a new secular order." They were creating a godless humanistic society. It would only need some time to develop because the people thought the founders were talking about God not power and money. But now the people are all for that god which is the central federal government.

Any perspective that denies the reliability of Scripture is wholesale corrupt and off the wall, imho.

Here is another quote....
"Lucifer, the Light-bearer ! Strange and mysterious name to give to the Spirit of darkness! Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! It is he who bears the Light, and with its splendors intolerable, blinds feeble, sensual or selfish souls? Doubt it not!"

Also an ex high ranking mason speaks out...
Evidently I've investigated the reliability of the Biblical texts far more than you have.
From what you've shared hereon of such stuff, I have read such blather. I found it very unconvincing.
In 1999 Armstrong received the Muslim Public Affairs Council's Media Award.[15][16][17]
Armstrong was honoured by the New York Open Center in 2004 for her "profound understanding of religious traditions and their relation to the divine."[18]
She received an honorary degree as Doctor of Letters by Aston University in 2006.[19]
In May 2008 she was awarded the Freedom of Worship Award by the Roosevelt Institute, one of four medals presented each year to men and women whose achievements have demonstrated a commitment to the Four Freedoms proclaimed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1941 as essential to democracy: freedom of speech and of worship, freedom from want and from fear. The institute stated that Armstrong had become "a significant voice, seeking mutual understanding in times of turbulence, confrontation and violence among religious groups." It cited "her personal dedication to the ideal that peace can be found in religious understanding, for her teachings on compassion, and her appreciation for the positive sources of spirituality." [20]
She has also received the TED Prize 2008.[21]
In 2009 she was awarded the Dr. Leopold Lucas Prize by the University of Tübingen.[22]
Armstrong was honored Nationalencyklopedin's International Knowledge Award 2011[23] "for her long standing work of bringing knowledge to others about the significance of religion to humankind and, in particular, for pointing out the similarities between religions. Through a series of books and award-winning lectures she reaches out as a peace-making voice at a time when world events are becoming increasingly linked to religion."
On November 30, 2011 (St. Andrew's Day) Armstrong was made honorary Doctor of Letters by the University of Saint Andrews.[24]
Wright has written extensively on the topic of religion, predominately in his latest book The Evolution of God. In 2009, When asked by Bill Moyers if God is a figment of the human imagination, Wright responds: "I would say so. Now, I don't think that precludes the possibility that as ideas about God have evolved people have moved closer to something that may be the truth about ultimate purpose and ultimate meaning... Very early on, apparently people started imagining sources of causality. Imagining things out there making things happen. And early on there were shamans who had mystical experiences that even today a Buddhist monk would say were valid forms of apprehension of the divine or something. But by and large I think people were making up stories that would help them control the world." [21]
Wright described himself as agnostic when he appeared on The Colbert Report,[22] and opposes creationism, including intelligent design. Wright has a strictly materialist conception of natural selection; however, he does not deny the possibility of some larger purpose unfolding, that natural selection could itself be the product of design,[23] in the context of teleology.[24] Wright describes what he calls the "changing moods of God", arguing that religion is adaptable and based on the political, economic and social circumstances of the culture, rather than strictly scriptural interpretation.[25]
Wright has also been critical of New Atheism and describes himself more specifically as a secular humanist.[26] Wright makes a distinction between religion being "wrong" and "bad" and is hesitant to agree that its bad effects greatly outweigh its good effects. He sees the New Atheists as attempting to actively convert people in the same way as many religions do. Wright views it as being counterproductive to think of religion as being the root cause of today's problems.[27]
I'm not impressed with accolades from the . . . propagandizers.
BTW, Lee Strobel's research stands on it's own merits . . . with extensive documentation from a list of highest quality scholars.
You are welcome to deny its merits as long as you can.

"Blather"? REALLY?
... Lots of blather and none of it from God. Which brings us back to the topic of the thread .... people thinking that God is directing them to do something self destructive and meaningless like what this woman did in Washington. Would God really take this woman, who was admittedly stressed out over the government shut down and unable to sleep for a few nights, and tell her to throw away her income and her career so that she could shout for a minute about God and Freemasons??? Really? That kind of self destructive behavior doesn't seem very 'Holy Spirit-ish' ... and neither do the 'blathering' Old Testament stories (Abraham in particular comes to mind).

Enjoy the "angels of light" while you can, I guess.
As St Paul said . . . even if an angel from Heaven comes preaching any other Gospel, consider him accursed.
