5 - A FORMER HIGH RANKING MASON
LOOKS AT
FREEMASONIC SYMBOLISM
From hereon, we will get into the heart of FREEMASONRY, and there will be many of the Masonic members of the lower orders who will be furious by what they will believe to be a senseless expose of their Lodge and a revelation of its secrets. But the high ranking Mason who reads this, although he will be furious over it, will recognize the truth, even though he refuses to admit it. If I reach only one member of FREEMASONRY with the truth, the effort taken to write this book will be worth it. It is not written as a means of hurting any good person, but to expose a very present danger to those of us who are White Christians who love our country. This chapter will come from a brochure I received from J. Edward Decker, Jr, who works with an organization called FREE THE MASONS MINISTRIES. You can contact him at PO. Box 1077,
Issaquah, WA 98027. He would be most interested in corresponding with members of the Masonic Lodge, who maybe concerned with what they have seen happen within their Lodge.

The question of the Christian stand regarding Freemasonry seems to confront our ministry at every turn

lately, because I have seen the exact parallels of the Masonic legends and rituals carried throughout the "mysteries" of Mormonism and have studied deeply into Masonic origins, purposes and doctrines. In doing so, I have had to come to grips with the sad fact that the esoteric doctrines of Freemasonry separate it, just as unequivocally as do those of Mormonism, from the Christian theology. This holds true of every branch of Masonry, from the Shriners to the Blue Lodge, the Eastern Star, the
Demolay, Job's Daughters and the Rainbow Girls It holds true for the Scottish rite or the York rite I realize this will cause offense to many Masons, and for that I am truly sorry. But I would rather that the Masons be offended at me and then be resorted to true fellowship with Jesus Christ than to remain silent any longer. This word of warning is not to the Masonic Fraternity at large, but to those Masons who claim to be both Masons and Christians. A recent newspaper insert, called FREEMASONRY - AWAY OF LIFE
appeared in many metropolitan areas. It pictured Freemasonry as a family- centered, fraternal, benevolent organization, as "American as apple pie" Not only does this article demonstrate the strength of Freemasonry among our political leaders (Both past and present, but makes much of its use of the Holy Bible and its foundational belief in God. Masonry has a strong representation in Christian denominations throughout the world. In many churches we visit, we find Masons involved as deacons, elders, board members, and even pastors. Their claim and the claim of every Mason to the outside world is that Masonry and Christianity are totally compatible. They tell me that religion is the experience of relating to God, and Masonry the experience of relating to

mankind. While separate, they can and do naturally coexist. The article mentioned above explains its "religious" position this way. Masonry is NOT a religion in any sense of the word, yet it is religious. Church membership is not a requirement, yet membership in ANY is no bar to admission. There is nothing in the requirements of Masonry to prevent a Catholic, a Mohammedan, a Jew, a Buddhist, a Protestant, a Mormon, or any member of any religion from becoming a member. On the surface, this might seem quite reasonable. I find no offense in being involved in social, civic and benevolent activities with people of other religious backgrounds But when it comes to my own personal worship of God, and His revelation tome of His Word, there are some very clear guidelines. If Freemasonry is truly what it professes publicly, then "Bravo" It is a welcomed 'fellowship If it is being deceptive, then it should be exposed. It is that simple. Lets see what Masonry TRULY teaches within its closed doors, through its own published documents. No "anti-Masonic" publications will be cited in explaining the TRUE Masonic theological position. The key document from which I quote is the most readily available and universally approved doctrinal book of Freemasonry, MORALS AND
DOGMA OF THE ANCIENT AND ACCEPTED SCOTTISH RITE OF
FREEMASONRY,
by Albert Pike, Grand Commander (1859-1891). Its title page states that it was prepared for the "Supreme Council of the 33
o

and Published by its Authority"
Originally published in 1871, I will use the 1966 edition. Except where other sources are noted, I cite page numbers only when using this work. Emphasis within parenthesis are my own.
