he that committeth fornication, sinneth against his own body" (1 Cor

"Whoso putteth away (divorces) his wife, and marries another, committeth
adultery," (Luke 16:18).
That's a harsh, uncompromising statement which few Masons will accept. It was Christ who also said "...whosoever looketh on a woman to lust
after her, hath committed adultery with her already in his heart, " (Matt.
5:28
). This statement was made famous by then President Jimmy Carter, a Mason, when he admitted freely, and with the idea that it was a joke, "that he had lusted after many women in his heart" The media seemed to think this was "funny"

The ritual of Freemasonry was based on incestuous acts, the deceptions and frauds of Zeus, which he practiced on his mother Demeter, and upon his daughter. These acts are reenacted before the initiate to impress him with the moral teachings of the "mysteries" The "natural law" once practiced by mankind, before the codified law was given at Mt. Sinai, had become obscured by men's sins it was no longer a clear guide to human behavior. The idea of "Let your conscience be your guide" has never proved workable, because natural man is sinful. The Bible says that even the very imagination of his heart are "only evil
continually. "(Gen. 6:5).
To the savage in the heartlands of Africa, who has never heard of God's law concerning murder, he still knows instinctively that murder is wrong. But his conscience allows him to go against this natural law and not only kill his enemy, but relish eating him. Masonic teachings negate the Christian viewpoint concerning family ties and Christian standards of marriage. Masonry teaches that a woman who yields to the impulses of her nature, is absolved from all shame and that a Freemason should renounce the "narrow minded standards" setup for the Christian by the Scripture.

You get a much better understanding of Freemasonry, when you look at the oaths and covenants which make a man a Mason. They are the central ceremony of his initiation into the "brotherhood" They are his formal declaration of loyalty to the Masonic religion. When the initiate kneels at the Masonic alter, and places one hand under the Bible and the other on the "compass and square" which rests on the book, he evokes the deity to help him in his purpose. Only, unfortunately, this deity is not the God of Christianity. Throughout the entire ceremony there is an outward semblance of great loyalty towards the Bible and God. But

the question we must ask is this What is the meaning of all this pageantry An honest look at the rituals of Freemasonry will show you that this ceremony is symbolic and allegorical (the description of one thing, under another name, and does not mean what it so solemnly expresses. The Bible, the Square and Compass, the Alter, are all Masonic symbols which stand for other things. They are substitutes, if you will, for the real objects venerated by Freemasonry. They have a secret, hidden meaning which very probably the initiate does not understand, since its meaning is known only to those of higher rank. The real Masonic moral ideas are concealed in the allegorical acts of the candidate. A study of Freemasonry will show that the Masonic candidate is not bound by his solemn oath, but by the meaning of the symbolism behind them. It is not reverence for the Bible, that he shows, as he takes his oath with one hand under the Book, but reverence to what the Bible symbolizes to the Mason and what the Bible on the Masonic altar really means to him. He does not swear on the "square and compass" but on what they symbolically stand for. It is not the name of the Lord God Jehovah, which he invokes, but what the term 'God' means to the Mason. When a Mason uses the term "In the name of God" it means by the authority of the god of Freemasonry, the GREAT ARCHITECT OF THE UNIVERSE, who is not the Christian God by any stretch of the imagination. The candidate is bound to faithfulness by the horrible oaths he takes, which show his condemnation if he is unfaithful. These are not the moral ethics one expects to find in Christianity. They contradict the Scripture found in Romans 8:1, which tell the Christian "There is

therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who
walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."
