is heavy metal and free masonary "Antichrist"?

Question

me and my friends were just having a vague discussion on these 2 topics. i am not sure of either of these being negative energy. can i get some information.

Answer 1

The name antichrist derives from the books of 1 and 2 John, which describe any who denies Christ to be antichrists. In general: There have been, are, and will be antichrists and false teachers. Some are Christian ["from your own number"] who teach deceptive, rather than blatant, false doctrine. This includes placing faith in and and endorsing governments, churches, organizations, and/or individuals in the place of God. Others come from outside the Christian community and attack it like "savage wolves".

How does that apply to heavy metal and free masonary is quite a stretch in my opinion.

Answer 2

As I Lay Dying
Underoath
Zao
The Agony Scene
Still Remains
The Burning Season
A Love For Enemies
Living Sacrifice

All of those bands are Christian metal. If the message is the same who cares how its delivered? And as for free masonary, how is building anything antichrist?

Answer 3

Well, good for them, if they are! Unfortunately, I had many uncles who were masons, (probably because they lived in small towns and that was required and was about the only social activity) and masons seem to have a strong religious component.

By the way, to be concerned about an antichrist one would have to be concerned with a christ, and if you are, do some critical reading and grow up.

Answer 5

largest and most widely established fraternal order in the world. The masons’ guilds were originally restricted to stonecutters, but with the completion of the building of the cathedrals in the 17th century, and especially in England during the Reformation, they admitted as members men of wealth or social status. The guilds thus became societies devoted to general ideals, such as fraternity, equality, and peace, and their meetings became social rather than business occasions. Four or more such guilds, called lodges, united in London on June 24, 1717, to form the Grand Lodge of England; all recognized grand lodges have been derived from it. The Grand Lodge of All England was formed at York in 1725, that of Ireland by June of the same year, and of Scotland in 1736. The York body came under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge at London later in the century.

As a result of the patronage of the order by members of the nobility, the rising British mercantile class looked upon Freemasonry as an adjunct to social success, and the order became popular. The Masonic ideals of religious toleration and the basic equality of all people were in keeping with the growing spirit of liberalism during the 18th century. One of the basic tenets of the Masonic orders throughout the English-speaking world has been that religion is the concern solely of the individual. Opposition on the part of the Roman Catholic church has been chiefly on the grounds that Freemasonry, with its binding principles and religious nature, has usurped the prerogatives of the church. As a result, the Freemasons have never been permitted in some strictly Roman Catholic countries, such as Spain. In France, however, following the atheistic and Protestant trend of the French Revolution, the order flourished.
In most English-speaking countries, the charitable and protective features of the fraternity have been responsible for the establishment of Masonic homes for the care of dependent aged Masons and their widows and orphanages and schools for the children of members. The Mason is instructed that his fraternal obligations involving aid to members are to be subordinated to the duty he owes to God, his country, and his family, with full recognition of the duty he owes to humanity. The Masonic fraternity differs radically from the other private benevolent societies, and from the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the next largest private, international, fraternal association, in that the relief or charity extended among members is purely voluntary, dependent on the need in each individual case. It is in no way part of a contract or other understanding that the distress of a brother shall call for specific financial recognition or care. Freemasonry is essentially an educational society, attempting to teach its members a moral philosophy of life.




Heavy Metal is music and is a form of expression. If the artist wants it to be anti christ, then it will be.

Answer 6

Masonry is symbolic. Saying that it is Antichrist is like saying that because Jesus is called by different names in other languages that those people don't pray to the "real" Jesus. Nothing in masonry tells anyone that they should literally and specifically believe anything. This is the most common misunderstanding. Language is so limiting that people can't grasp the idea of symbolism.

Answer 7

It is the lyrics or what may be masked behind the words and instruments that is good or bad. What you consume is what you become. As for free masonry to the best of my knowledge it is Satan's Secret Society and Witchcraft and all who go into captivity into captivity they will go. Stay away from sorcery,witchcraft, divination, Transcendental Meditation, tarot cards, Ouija boards,speaking to the dead, etc...anything to do with the like. These are all things placed into society to place people into bondage to witchcraft/Demonic forces

Answer 8

That's silly. Heavy metal is music and free masonry is a secretive sect. None of them relate to fundamentalist Christian fears about an apocalypse that will never happen.

Answer 9

No, Most heavy metal artists are actually very religious, such as Axel Rose and Ozzy Osbourne. And Freemasonic rumors of global domination are just that, rumors. As far reaching as they are, they would have done it by now.

Answer 10

Neither is!
Check out Iron Maiden's web site, the members of the band are actually quite religious.

Free Masonry has it's roots in Catholicism.
