It's my understanding that some of the upper level Masonic teaching have a Gnostic flavor to them. Some hard core Christians, and the Catholics Church which called several inquisitions against Gnostic faiths take great offense to this interpretation of what it means to be responsible for the well being of your community.
Uh oh. We have another member not afraid to speak his mind. I hope your dental plan premiums are up to date.

Does Masonry conflict with Christianity in any way.? YES !! Most of the elders in my family were Masons. At least they paid lip service to it. They were the meanest, selfish, self serving, cursing, taking God's name in vain, child abusing, wife beating, racist & vain people I've ever known.
By the way, in case you missed it, Jeremiah was a bullfrog.

Now, you I'd have predicted were a high level Freemason. Maybe even a Grand Poobah. This you, Rancho? ![[Linked Image]](http://wifop.org/photos/images/Grand-PooBah.jpg) Nah, that's the Doctor, of the Grand order Seuss. That's probably entry level satanic stuff for kids though since it also teaches good life lessons, but through the use of various perverted or imaginary creatures and worlds.

Does Masonry conflict with Christianity in any way.? Well, since they worship Satan, I'd say so, yes. There's a lodge just few blocks from my home, and I pass it on my daily walks. I knew some kook here would come along and start throwing out BS. It offends me to no end to hear somebody accuse Masons of worshiping Satan because that implies that my father was a devil worshiper. If you were standing in front of me right now you wouldn't have any front teeth. You wouldn't be standing either. I'm dead [bleep] serious. Over the line. Everybody's got a right to their opinion without being threatened with injury. Get it together.

I'm dead [bleep] serious. You mean you'd make your best effort at doing so. That's assuming I believed you. Meanwhile, I'll speak my mind. On this topic, trust me I'm speaking the truth. Any man that would dishonor my father in way the way that you have would not be standing before me. You're a sick paranoid little man that deserves no respect from anyone. You're back on cerebral ignore you POS. TRH said nothing about your father. You're the one slandering. Again, get it together.

....regarding conflicts between Masonry and Christianity, there is none. You are uninformed.

My father proudly wore his solid gold Masonic ring until the day he died. By the time of his death the ring was so worn that the Masonic emblem had lost it's definition and as his health was failing, as his fingers shriveled, he wrapped the ring with adhesive tape to keep it on his hand.
Even though in his later days he didn't attend meetings with the Masons his ring was one of two things he never parted with. The other was his Merchant Marine ID card from WWII.

Would you take the same stand against a man taking God's name in vain or cursing Salvation through the death of Jesus on the cross who died for our sin?

Until reading this thread, I was unaware of the number of profound ignoramusus on the Campfire. Though I suspected, this thread has confirmed my fears.

I could not tell you how many times I heard my sorry, no count, Grandfather tell others that "Masonry takes a good man & makes him better." He got furious when I told him that it sure enough did not work for him. Too, the Scripture states, "There is none good. No, not one." To say he was delusional would be an understatement.

Over the line. Everybody's got a right to their opinion without being threatened with injury. Get it together. You got that right!! It's the Redneck mentality of the Junior High minded. If you don't agree with me I'm gonna open a can on you.
