Baal was so evil a deity that to find the name of the one, true, holy God, Jehovah, linked with Baal and On in the rites of Masonry is blasphemous. God says, "Those who honor Me, I will honor" (1 Samuel 2:30). The Apostle Paul writes, "To Him [God] be honor and eternal dominion" (1 Timothy 6:16). If you are a Christian, according to Scripture is it honoring to God to participate in a rite that maligns His divine name by combining it with the names of evil gods? Didn't God's severe judgment fall upon Israel because she combined worship of Jehovah with the worship of Baal and other pagan gods? Didn't God's judgment fall because of teachings like those found in Masonry? As former Past Master Mason Edmund Ronayne confesses: "The very religious philosophy and false worship which caused Jehovah to destroy His own temple, and banish into captivity His ancient people, are precisely the same philosophy and worship with modern Masons profess shall fit them for the glories of heaven" [15]

There appears to be only one true God, money ! That assumption comes from judging by the hypocisy so openly displayed by religious people.

There are reasons I think are good ones I did not use this thread to push my non-believer position.we can all, those who share my view, find much to say in another place I would, in fact think this world needs to talk about this, however we tend to get a bit heated on any subject my once commitment to the side I now confront reminds me most who believe want a better kinder world, that much I too still share
it is those who use their faith as a club we all must confront.

runner: Not tied up with the freemasons are you Jayb or is it a secret?

No. But my grandfather was in the Scottish rite "Order of St. Michael." what ever that means. Mum had all his paraphernalia, very interesting.

Not tied up with the Jehovah Witnesses are you runner. Eeerr…. that's no secret. Ay.

The Local Witnesses actually send their newbies around to me for training. Poor Ba$t@rd$. When they run away I follow them down the street preaching the truth. ;-)

Jaybe they love being told to leave fast, finally got it in to their heads to stay away

G'day there JAYB...

I can only hope you're not casting aspersions upon Freemasonry or Freemasons JAYB; I've been a member for 47 years or so? A very good organisation who do good works for charity and other worthy causes? Happy to discuss it, if you have any problems with it? And you should be aware many members of the three Armed Services belong to Masonic Lodges.

Oh to remain on topic - Freemasonry is NOT a religion. Nor do Freemasons worship any particular religion, creed, or other religious orders, or organisations.
