Masonry is "naturalism" inaction and is a modern form of 'ancient paganism. Because of the policy of deception practiced by Masonic leaders, it is difficult to analyze accurately the underlying essence of Freemasonry. Essentially, it is founded on Jewish
"Pantheism," or the
'deification and worship of unregenerate man, rather than God" It reflects the words of the German Jewish philosopher
of the Eighteenth Century,
Ludwig Feubrach,when he said Man will finally be truly free, when he realizes there is no god of man, but man himself" This is the underlying belief of atheistic communism Most of Masonic symbolism, in its original and proper meaning, refers to "phallic worship" This fact is openly testified to by such Masonic leaders as Albert Pike, Mackey, Thomas, Webb Smith, William Preston and Hutchinson.
Rogan, a Masonic author of some note states that the Masonic god is the god of the pyramids, thus identifying Masonry with the ancient Egyptian religions. The first three degrees of the order - those of Apprentice, Fellow Craft (or
Companion Mason, and Master Mason, are known as symbolic degrees. The candidate is admitted through a series of fantastic ceremonies
... the significance of which is not revealed to the initiate. He learns nothing but the symbols and sacred words. He is continually edified by allusions to God and the Bible, the hidden meanings of which are withheld from him until he reaches the higher degrees. It is not until a member reaches the o in the
ANCIENT SCOTTISH RITE, that of Sovereign Grand-Inspector, that the genuine mysteries of Freemasonry are explained. In his first initiation stages he learns
Page 1081. - That the rite of initiation for Apprentice Masons represents in dramatic fashion the origin or birth of Nature's god - the GREAT ALL. It signifies the nonexistence of a supernatural person God, such as that of Christianity. It signifies that the two principles of 'matter' and "form"
male" and "female" are always eternally "generating" (reproducing. It looks
on God as a hermaphrodite, and creation as the beginning of the "generation process 2. - The initiation rite into the Second Degree, represents the moral condition of nature's god, always in labor, always reproducing. Again it looks on God as hermaphroditic, and states that his name JEHOVAH, means
"generation." Meaning to say, HE-SHE, the two sexes in one.

The dual principle of "male" and "female" is represented by the "square and compass" The "compass" represents OSIRIS, the male god of the Egyptians, while the "square" is the symbol representing ISIS, the female goddess of Egypt - both are sexual symbols 3. - The initiation to the Third
DEGREE OR MASTER MASON DEGREE, introduces the initiate to the story of Hiram Abiff, one of the architects of
Solomon's Temple, as related in the TARGUM. (One of the several translations of Jewish scriptures, written in the vernacular (Aramaic) language of ancient Judea) Hiram is recorded as an allegorical being, symbolizing the
GREAT ARCHITECT OF THE UNIVERSE. (Mackey, pp. 13-99). In this rite, the process of "generation" is represented as being complete God, and the name of God, which the candidates
are supposed to be seeking, is

discovered. The name of this deity, not the LORD GOD of the Old Testament, is MOA-BON. This was the name given to the child born of Lot, after he had an incestuous affair with one of his daughters. The story is told in
Genesis 19:37. This is explained as the man-child coming into being
through the union of the SUN, with his daughter, the EARTH This deity is also known as MAC-BENEC, "Offspring of putrefaction" since death and decomposition must precede the beginning of life the seed must die before the plant can live.

This" says the Masonic expert Ragon, "is the important phenomenon, the ineffable mystery, the key to nature, which the ancient sages succeeded in discovering, and which they adopted as the basis of Masonic doctrine
... It is the subject of Masonic legends. According
to this interpretation, the revolting atrocities of SATURN, and the incestuous PHARAEDRA, SATURN was the Roman god of agriculture, and PHARAEDRA was the Greek wife of Minos, who had an incestuous relationship with her own son) were considered interesting enigmas, which involve facts worth our notice" (See Ragon, pp. 218,219). Throughout his book on Freemasonry,
Ragon dwells on the process of procreation, Isis, Egyptian gods and goddesses, etc. I believe enough has been said to indicate the "earthy" nature of Freemasonry and their
peculiar system of morality, which we will discuss later on. All this is in veiled allegory. The contrast between Scriptural morality and Masonic morality is that between "light" and darkness" between the "spirit of the anti-Christ" and the "spirit of God" It was Jesus who said "
... men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil" (John 3:19). He went on inverse to say
"Everyone Notes:-4. See Ragon,

Lexicon on Masonry.Page 110that doeth evil, hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved."As fast as men are converted to Freemasonry, so do they repudiate the principles and claims of Christianity. They may call themselves Christian, but as Christ Himself said
