| 12 - A CLOSER LOOK AT FREEMASONRY In the preface of his book FREEMASONRY - An Interpretation, Pastor Martin Wagner, Pastor of the St. John's Evangelical Lutheran church in Dayton, Ohio (1912) says Real Freemasonry is something beside and beneath the ritualistic forms and monitorial lectures. It is something which comparatively few Masons understand. Modern Masonry has never possessed the true key for the interpretation of the secret doctrines. This institution is esoteric. (Which means that its "secrets" are intended to be understood only by a few at the top. "Masonic authorities, as well as the Masonic ritual, declares that secret doctrine which constitutes the very essence of Freemasonry and which is veiled under terms and imagery of the builder's craft. The essence of Freemasonry is that it's peculiar religious ideas and doctrines, have survived from the periods of remotest antiquity, until the present time ... crushed in one form, it will rise in another. Outlawed, or exposed in one institution, it evades detection by taking refuge under a different name, ritual, or symbolism" In its modern form and organization, Freemasonry has had a checkered career. So long as there is an unregenerate human nature on this earth, so long will organizations such as the Freemasons find fertile ground in which to take root. Exposure may check it fora while and induce its adherents to repudiate it fora time. This was the casein, when William Morgan, a Master Mason, published his exposure of the Masonic Lodge. For this he was condemned by a Masonic enclave and sentenced to death. When his murder was exposed by police investigation, over 45,000 Masons in the United States left the Lodge, because they believed what Morgan had written, on the basis of what happened to him. But Morgan had only divulged the form, the clothing if you will, the cloak under Page 102 which the real doctrine was concealed and veiled. Freemasonry on the European continent was scarcely effected by the Morgan affair. Exposure means little, unless one understands the key to Freemasonry. Most exposures by seceding Masons, exhibit only the trappings, the veneer, under which the true essence of Freemasonry is concealed. Not one Mason in ten thousand ever suspects what lies under the cloak of secrecy in which his lodge operates, for the real secrets of the Lodge are not taught in the Lodge. The majority of Masons see only the outward trappings of the Lodge and the less the Mason knows about them, the more he admires and believes. The same is true with the Judeo-Christian church, where the vast majority of its members seldom if ever study the Scriptures on their own, preferring to be guided instead, by a pastor who has been as "brainwashed" as they. The same is true with Freemasonry, for when broken down to its common denominator, it is a religion. Religion is its mystical tie Religion has been from time immemorial, one of the most powerful factors in the activities of mankind. It has been the "motor" which has controlled vast armies and founded world empires. It has been the force behind bloody revolutions and despotic governments. It has established despotic "priestcrafts" and enforced obedience through fear generated by its teachings. Many times you will hear "atheists" and "humanists" accuse Christianity of being responsible for the bloody deaths of millions of people. This is not the case True Christianity has never murdered innocent men, women and children Religion has -churchianity has -but not true Christianity. A good example is the present conflict which has been going on for years in Lebanon, where so-called Christian forces have been battling the Moslems. Yet these are Christian in name only and show none of the "fruits of Page 103 the Spirit" which Scripture tells us are the mark of true Christians. In the name of religion, men have been enslaved to build lavish, costly monuments to its power call these churches or cathedrals. These are shrines for the gods of religion. Not to God Almighty Religion has never changed any manor woman into abetter human being. When the Communist leader Lenin stated that "Religion is the opiate of the people" he knew whereof he was speaking, for religion controls people and makes them slaves of the religious leaders. On the other hand, true Christianity has been responsible for our finest art our sweetest music. It has transformed human perverts from harden slave drivers to writers of Christian songs who could say "Just as I am, without one plea, but that Thy blood was shed for me" It has turned human devils of lust, fury and crime, into saints fit for the Kingdom of God. Christianity has given timid women and children the courage to face fear of being torn to bits by wild animals in a Roman arena. It has caused gentlewomen to withstand terrible torture for the sake of their beliefs. It has caused men to sing praises to God, as they were burned to death at the stake. (Read Fox's BOOK OF MARTYRS, and the 11th Chapter of Hebrews for an account of what Christianity has done for men and women. Religion, on the other hand, has been the power behind political corruption the power behind armies of evil kings and popes to destroy. Religion is the most powerful motor in mankind and religion is the driving engine in Freemasonry. We can seethe modern application of the power of religion, in the upsurge of Moslem Fundamentalism, which could well sweep this world into World War III, as it comes up against the "secular religion" of the Zionists in Palestine. Page 104 The vital and essential elements in the religion of Freemasonry are not the spiritual facts and the spiritual mysteries. They are carnal and physical, what some would call "the facts of life" These are the "mysteries" involved in "generation" and "reproduction" which Masons worship. The same "regenerative power" which has been worshipped for millennia by heathen people around the world. Because of heir "earthy" nature, they appeal to the lustful spirit of unregenerate men. These "mysteries" relate to the dominate passion of man to "procreate" They excite his passion, awaken his emotions, take first place in his mind and energize his deepest thoughts. It is difficult to conceive of anything more exquisitely fitted to appeal to the "natural" the "animalistic" man of the evolutionists, than the teachings of Freemasonry. It is a religion which makes the mystery of procreation, the hidden force on which it rests. Masonry conceives of the divine nature as residing in man, and this nature is best expressed through sexual passion. The gratification of this passion, therefore, is pleasing to the Masonic god and becomes his duty. Although he may claim to be a Christian - and many of its members do -he has given his allegiance to "another false Christ" who repudiates the New Testament teachings regarding "unlawful lust" and "illicit passion" Our Lord's admonition to men in Matthew 5:28 - "But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her, hath already committed adultery with her in his heart ... is looked on by the Mason as the height of utter stupidity Christians are further admonished in Galatians 5:16 - Walk in the Spirit and ye shall not fulfill the lusts of the flesh" Again in James 1:14 - "But every man is tempted when he is drawn away of HIS OWN LUST, and Page 105 enticed. Then when LUST has conceived, it bringeth forth sin (transgression of God's law, according to 1 John 3:4), and sin, when it is finished bringeth forth death" (Both physical and spiritual) And finally in Download 1.02 Mb.
