i cant seem to find a list online - so i figured i'd check here. i know a LOT about masonry.. just not that detail. bonus points for saying what degree each is required for (or if your lodge does differently; i've heard many are more 'activity' prone)

'god hates people who communicate with handsigns'? 'amused' you're zealous... but maybe slightly off on that issue.
'unequally yoked', the 1st commandment, and oaths are what i'd go with -- not to mention satan/babylonian mystery religion Rev 17:2+5
and the egyptian 6 pointed star of amun-ra ("jewish" 'star of david') also used as masonic symbol.

freemasonry is a religion, one founded on intolerance and secrecy. a fundamental belief that a mason holds dear is that all other faiths are equally valid, because they are all wrong. freemasonry is a mystery religion, they make blood oaths in their initiations , baptize new members, as they perform the play as hiram abif, the founder of masonry, and the savior in their faith.(baptism is a symbolic death, burial and ressurection. it needs no water)they lock in their members, with blood oaths and when the blindfold is finally removed, you see your father, or grandfather, mabye your boss.it's a lot of pressure not to renounce your new faith on the spot with all these patriarchs surrounding you. they worship a diety called the Grand Architect Of The Universe. that's what the "G" within the compass and square stands for. the square is a symbol for the things of this life, and the compass is a symbol for those things heavenly. they teach in allegory, which uses a moral, or pretty obvious meaning, and another, hidden meaning, not revealed until later in your journey with this new faith. there is a book, written by one Albert Pike, titled Morals and Dogma of the Scottish Rite, it's pretty much their bible, it has all the allegories and teachings. this is an evil cult, one my father belongs to. they use no bible verses, only biblical settings, it is a mystery religion, and the founding religion of our great nation. washington D.C is built on a masonic design, and most of the symbolism on our one dollar bill is from these allegories.(the owl, is a messenger from the underworld, the pyramid has 13 stones, ect.)

The reason you can't find any Bible verses is because none are used. The degrees are plastered all over the internet and easily accessable. I assume that you already looked them up and found no verses. Free Masonry is not a religious organization. You do not have to be religious nor do you have to belong to any church. In fact, discussions about religion and politics are not allowed in the Lodge because they can lead to arguments.

i can give you a few Non Mason scriptures!
Like not making any oathes because man cannot make something black or white.
like God hates people who communicate with handsigns
like God making all things known, and not withholding secrets. All things in the dark are made known in the light.
Like Not defending a liar or a thief. but having compassion on a thief that repents rather than Hiding theknowledge of it.
