Why would you not keep it? its just a book. I think the masons are misunderstood, before you judge them when you don't understand try doing some research and make an enlightened decision.

Having seen, and read a Masonic Bible myself ;) I can tell you that it is the same as any other King James Version Bible out there...the only difference is it contains some information on what Freemasons believe is their connection to the building of King Solomons Temple. As for it containing their secrets, rest ashured that their secrets are not written. As for it being Satanic, negative my friend. Also many claim that Mason in the past and present have done some bad things...well my responce is this. Human Beings are NOT PERFECT...look at the Catholic Priest...Jimmy Swaggart...and many others who have stumbled along the way. Case Closed.

BE NOT AFRAID to keep THE HOLY BIBLE with THE MASONIC EMBLEM. This HOLY BIBLE is A KING JAMES VERSION. The Masonic Fraternity believes for The Christian Member IT IS THE RULE AND GUIDE OF FAITH BY WHICH ALL CAN LEARN TO BE BETTER MEN. The only major difference in THE MASONIC BIBLE and a regular KING JAMES VERSION is that in the front of THE BIBLE are references to THE SCRIPTURES upon which THE MASONIC FRATERNITY base their RITUALS and CEREMONIES. Study THE HOLY BIBLE for IT has many answers which will help, aid and assist you in making you a better person. THE HOLY BIBLE is considered by all Christian Masons THE GREAT LIGHT OF MASONRY and we use it as a RULE AND GUIDE UPON WHICH TO BASE OUR GROWTH in order to become better men. If you have any further doubts talk to a Mason as he will tell you in more detail than I can here. 4 times past master and life member of The Masonic Fraternity.

As a christian I would say pray about it. Keep it if you want to, but pray over it. While true Mason's are generally harmless, some are not many have had a distortion of Christianity that they follow. As a result, the enemy can attach itself to objects and to have those objects in the house can be bad for you. I know that sounds a bit crazy but I have seen it myself so I believe that it's true. So I would pray over that bible and ask the Holy Spirit to remove anything from the enemy that may be attached to it and then enjoy the bible!!

A Masonic Bible is the same as a regular Bible, it just has some extra information in it that deals with Freemasonry and how it relates to the Bible. If you do decide to get rid of it, contact me and I may be interested in taking it off your hands.

I didn't realize the Masonic lodge had their own bible. They do however have a book of instructions that a member is suppose to learn and go by.

Agreed with two it is the same with Masonic Info. Where did your father get it he may have an attachment to it. Maybe he was trying to tell you something.

The Freemasons have become something sinister. They appear to be the ones behind the creation of the New World Order.
It is a secret society, and you will find that anything that has to remain secret is probably not good, or at least not for the good of the many.
A mason will talk about god all you want. But they will not talk about Jesus Christ. It appears that the god they worship is Satan.
Of course you don't find any of this out in the first year. It's just a Good-ole'-Boy group of guys playing pool together at the Lodge and giving teddy bears away at Christmas.
If you want confirmation, or to study in depth the truth of the Masons and Knights of Templar, read the book "Behold a Pale Horse," by William Cooper. It shows also who is really running this country, how the gov't gets around the Constitution, and get away with anything and everything.
I would ditch the book.

Keep it if you only know about masons and accept their beliefs, so to know about masons go to this link from wikipedia:

Good luck.
