Masonry: Why so many people say they are devil worshipers ....?

Question

Masonry: Why so many people say they are devil worshipers, if mostly of them are Protestants in US?
At least this is what Protestants say right here in Brazil

Answer 1

Hello Guri.

The answer is quite easy. People speak about what they don't know. Masons are not devil worshipers. Many protestants (obviously not all) seem to believe that everyone who practices anything other than their type of Christianism is a devil worshiper.

Answer 2

I've read some of the answers and they seem to me to be the standard answers when someone ask. They are scripted answers.

Have you they ever met a Mason, or been one? Odds are no, for if you or they have there would be better understanding.

George Washington was a Mason and he had more opportunity to destroy this nation yet he helped. He did not hide is affiliation. As a matter of fact, the Bible from his lodge has been used to swear in many presidents.

I am a Mason and no, we don't worship the devil. Membership is open to any male who does believe in a God.

I'm a Christan, you may be a Islamic, each of us have a God. We're in. Membership requires that you kiss the Christan Bible.

now, the problem may come in when someone believe their God to be a tree. Still they are in as they believe in a God.

Devil worship.. no, not even close. I will add this, if you do worship the devil you still can be a member if you state you believe in a God (higher being).

Collectively (as a group) Masons don't sit around worshiping the devil. You can belong to a church as well and go home and worship the devil. If you do worship the devil, why would you want to be a Mason or to to church?

I would explain that the Mason take a good man and want him to be a better one. They stress brotherhood, friendship, family, and God.

FREEMASONRY IN A NUTSHELL
A Christian frequently must render a decision about supporting or joining various organizations that exist in the community. In some cases it may be a service club, a charitable organization or a secret society such as one of the lodges. In all cases, the Christian should carefully examine the articles or constitutional principles that the organization is based upon.
In the case of the lodges, that is somewhat difficult to do, especially as lodge members are under oath not to divulge the nature of the foundational principles or the ceremonies that are carried out in the temples. However most comprehensive public libraries have copies of some official lodge publications and books written by Masons, ex-Masons, and non-Masons available for anyone who wishes to find out details of lodge rituals and beliefs.
While some Masons deny that Freemasonry is a religion, there are some like Coil, the author of "Coil's Masonic Encyclopedia" who would agree that it is a religion. When one considers that the lodge meeting places are called "temples", prayer is directed to a supreme deity called "The Great (or Grand) Architect of the Universe" at the opening and closing of all meetings and the Bible is considered a "piece" of lodge furniture and is referred to in some of the rituals, it becomes quite apparent that Freemasonry can be and is considered a religion by most people who have done research into its workings.
In his 1984 book titled "The Brotherhood", Stephen Knight, a journalist and author attempted to take as objective a point-of-view as he could in deciding whether or not Masonry was guilty of devil worship as many had charged, and whether or not it was compatible with Christianity. He decided that the matter did not require a great deal of knowledge of theology. On page 231 of his book we find:
"One does not have to be a theologian - nor even a Freemason or a Christian - to recognize that Christians and Freemasons would have to worship the same God for the two to be compatible. The question simply, then, is do they?
If Freemasonry were found, despite its protestations to the contrary, to be a quasi-religion and to have a different god from the Christian God, then the two would naturally be incompatible."
On pages 235 and 236, Knight goes on to reveal the
"ineffable" name of the G.A.O.T.U. which is deliberately hidden from the candidates and lower degree Masons.
"In fact the Masonic god - cloaked under the description Great Architect - has a specific name and a particular nature, which has nothing to do with Christ, Vishnu, Buddha, Mohammed or any other being recognized by the great faiths of the modern world."
"Two-thirds of Freemasons never realize the untruth of the line they are fed as to the identity of the Great Architect, because it is deliberately kept hidden from them. It is no overstatement to say that most Freemasons, even those without strong religious convictions would never have joined the Brotherhood if they had not been the victims of this subtle trick".
"The true name, although not the nature of the Masonic god, is revealed only to those Third Degree Masons who elect to be "exalted" to the Holy Royal Arch.""In the ritual of exaltation, the name of the Great Architect of the Universe is revealed as JAH-BUL-ON - not a general umbrella term open to any interpretation an individual Freemason might choose but a precise designation that describes a specific supernatural being - a compound deity composed of three separate personalities fused into one. Each syllable of the "ineffable name" represents one personality of this trinity:
JAH = Jahweh, the God of the Hebrew.
BUL = Baal, the ancient Canaanite fertility god associated with "licentious rites of imitative magic".
"ON = Osiris, the ancient Egyptian god of the underworld
Coil records this in his Encyclopedia on page 516 as,
"Jah, Bel, and On appear in the American ritual of the Royal Arch degree on the supposition that Jah was the Syriac name of God, Bel (Baal) the Chaldean, and On, the Egyptian."
Anyone with a reasonable amount of Sunday School training will recall the great difficulties that the nation of Israel experienced whenever they became caught in the practice of Baal worship. 1 Kings, chapter 18 records the showdown between Elijah, the true prophet, the 450 prophets of Baal, and the 400 prophets of the grove. Verse 24 of chapter 18 says,
"And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the Lord: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God."
The account goes on to tell us that Baal did not, indeed, could not answer the 450 prophets, while God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob answered Elijah and consumed not only the offering, but also the wet wood and the trench full of water around the offering. Subsequently, the prophets of Baal were executed as they were false and had led the people of Israel into false idolatry.

Answer 4

I am a Freemason. we are not devil worshipers we have no high level or low levels

Being a mason is all about being trust worthy honest and charitable

I have tried ot email the people who answered this question with complete lies but they don't accept emails. The must like being ignorant


Believing Masons are in any way evil is on the same level as thinking Elvis and Hitler are still alive and play golf together with Bigfoot on the weekend

Please anyone with any soucre that says masons are evil or anti-Christian please send me a link i have been looking for years for any proof masons are bad. I have never found i single source

Answer 5

Masonry is not a cult. It is a simple "club", if you wish to call it that, that teaches honesty, brotherhood, sharing, etc.

Any man that believes in God can be a mason, doesn't need to be a Christian. Freemasons are simply brothers that seek to help others. The Shriner's childrens hospital is a good example of that. To be a Shriner one must first be a Mason.

Answer 6

They are mostly Christian. In my husbands lodge there are a couple of Muslims. One of the reasons they call them that is because they claim to be a Secret Society - which is ridiculous, since I learned about their org and what they do before my husband even joined. They aren't Secret. lol Another reason is a man named Albert Pike wrote a book about some of the things the Shrine (this is another branch of the Masons) learn about... one is about Lucifer. Many people claim they are a Luciferean cult, but they don't have the knowledge of WHY Pike wrote about such things. They assume because it says "Lucifer" that they are worshipping the devil. The word Lucifer itself means Morning Star (as in Isaiah..... and what JESUS is called in Revelation).

Simply put, they don't like the Masons so they will repeat anything bad they hear about them without ever actually looking into it. They pick and choose things out of the whole picture and then try to present those pieces they have as the whole picture itself. Every Ex-Mason I have ever met who talks bad about them never even went far enough in it to find out the truth of it. They simply drop out because they hear bad things about them, connect it with one or two things in the Masons and then claim they are evil, based off of hearsay. This would be akin to me taking the Communion and claiming that Christians are cannibals because SOME believe the wafer actually turns into flesh.

Answer 7

Masonry is a Satanistic Cult.

It goes against the almost every value of judeo-christianity.

Free Masonry promotes the existance of an elite class of citizens that have more and are entitled to more then others. It puts people above others. Christianity for example teaches that you should try to give to everyone what you have, always humble yourself, etc.

It's also a secretive organization which is the hallmark of evil. (note the difference between discretion and secrecy)

edit: wrote satanism instead of Masonry in the first line... >_>

Answer 8

because their organisation is setup like a pyramid.
low level masons get lured in by religion(christianity being the front). As they progress to higher levels, they get initiated deeper.
PS: only scottish Rite freemasonry has extra levels of initiation, they go up to 33rd degree, whereas other masonry goes to the 3rd level. after 30th degree and higher, you worship a deity demon named Jahbulon, now as any christian knows, thou shalt worship no other god but me. Freemasonry at high levels are occult based, it is used to put initiate people into positions of power where they can be used to push agendas and influence other people.

Answer 9

people that don't know any better, and don't want to.
the same people that say freemasons are devil worshippers say that wiccans or pagans in general are to.
things they don't understand are evil.
sad, but true.

Answer 10

What is a cult? If you can answer that you have the answer to your question.
