Therefore Masonry teaches that redemption and salvation are both the power and the responsibility of the individual Mason. Saviors like Hiram Abiff can and do show the way, but men must always follow and demonstrate, each for himself, his power to save himself, to build his own spiritual fabric in his own time and way. Every man in essence is his own savior and redeemer; for if he does not save himself, he will not be saved. The reader who succeeds in getting back to the real teachings of the masters, including Jesus of Nazareth, will find unanimity of thinking on this matter.

Most Masons that are Christians do not realize what is going on with the Masons. The Masons teach that there is no absolute truth which in itself is against Christianity. They hold that everybody has their own truth. That is just not right. There is an absolute truth and it is not something it is SOMEBODY. i think about the Jehovah Witnesses and the Mormon faiths which are two different religions way off the mainstream of religions and they were both started by 33rd degree Masons. hmmmm

Wow! There are some really complex entries, and some false answers here. Here is the skinny: You can be a Christian and a Mason. Masonic Blue Lodges in the United States are typically not Christian, but rather welcoming to all non-atheists. As to the Catholic issue: Pope Leo is long gone, Catholics may join Freemasonry. I am a Christian and a Mason and have attended lodge with Catholic Masons.

they are purely a fraternity for Jesus' fsking sake! they don't seem to be satanic, they only settle for people who have faith in a single suited BEING Christians make up maximum of their club many of their ideals, and ranks, come from Christianity i ought to record many extra, yet I despise this concern and choose it may purely bypass the frack away... EDIT: "uncomplicated experience", possibly you could persist with your namesake, and do somewhat learn. The Freemasons have not printed extra advantageous than a shred of information of what is going into the advertising to this rank, so how could you be conscious of? And the shred they did launch thoroughly denies this, they could be shown as CHRISTIAN to alter right into a thirty third degree. The rank is purely available via Christians, not even Jews or Muslims, who can nonetheless be individuals as they suspect in a single suited being.

Not if Matthew 5:33-34 is followed. Swearing of oaths is forbidden to Christians by the founder of the faith.
However, is it possible to be a part of an organization, without really knowing what it stands for? Yes.
And is it possible to infiltrate an organization without really believing as it does? yes.
So there are Christians among the Freemasons. And there are Freemasons among the Christians.

NO.
A true Catholic inside and out will serve Jesus Christ only.
He cannot have a divided heart serving two different kingdoms. There will be discord.
The ex-catholic who no longer believes or has faith in God will choose to go into Masonry and say he is/was Catholic.
Sorry, Masons can't fool me.

FREE MASONS were started by Nimrod over 5000 years ago. It is a secret society, but only those at the 30th degree up know who they worship.I realize that some " CHRISTIANS" have been taken in. What business has light with darkness.

Yes you can. You need to believe in a higher power. It is not against christianity to be a mason. There are many preachers who are masons.

I believe so. Jesus himself was a carpenter, so I am pretty sure any of the trades would be acceptable vocations.
