Ted, I don't understand. Is that a Masonic organization, or is it subject to the Pope? They used to be subject to the Pope, but were condemned by the Pope on accusations of occultism. So what is it now?
Islam is a terrorist organization.

This just keeps getting better!
Tedhorn fancies himself a Templar knight...
TRH thinks Tedhorn is a devil...
And I think they're both [bleep] up as run-over dogs.
Kookville is certainly entertaining today.

Here is the official CRC position:
There is an irreconcilable conflict between the teachings and practices of the lodge and those of biblical Christianity; therefore simultaneous membership in the lodge and in the church of Jesus Christ is incompatible with and contrary to Scripture. How could they know of the "conflict" unless they were members of the Lodge? Just curious. Yeah, because it's all top secret, right? Nobody knows what Freemasonry is actually all about. WRONG! Throughout history, high level Freemasons have found Christ, left "the craft," and wrote about its true nature. So it's based on hearsay from the disgruntled. You really should have gone to class when you had the chance to learn something in law school.

Theory has it that, upon the condemnation of the Knights Templar, Freemasonry was established as its secretive continuation. Thus "Knights Templar" being a sort of rank or level designation within it.

You all need to get to work.
The word God for me is nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses , the Bible a collection of honorable but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish.
I have to agree with the author on that.
Now get to work.

I have got to go back and correct my post. I should not have said Baptists. I should have said some Baptists. I will now read what has been posted sine 4:00AM
ETA: For whatever reason, I cannot edit my first posting. I am sorry for the confusion, but I really meant SOME Baptists.

Well this was a waste of an hour to read. The original poster just asked a simple question and well the rest is history. As for me, well my father was a Free Mason. Funny thing about my father, he and I never agreed to much of anything. My brother on the other hand was more or less when the path of least resistance. My Father died when I was 12. he was 73 at the time. I became a Free Mason myself at the Age of 32 and took my three degrees in Sept (EA) Oct (FC) and Nov(MM)of 1987. some 26 years ago. My father never talk much about lodge other than pointed out the lodge in town where he lived, Dad and mom divorced before I was born for reasons to this day is not clear, Mom died in 1976. I latter found out thru the Grand Lodge of Connecticut where my father was a member. Well he was entered pasted and raised a Master Mason at the age of 32, in Sept Oct and Nov in the year 1927. We both took our degrees with in a day of each other some 60 years apart. Since becoming a Mason in 1987 I had made the journey to the East and Sat as Master of a lodge in 1996, I have traveled the York Rite path and I am a Knights Templar, and then the MOVPER and The Sword of Bunker Hill. I have sat in lodges in many states and provinces of Canada. And over seas too. Once visited a lodge in California, and most of the guys worked at the local Prison. They took me for a tour of that Jail, Pelican Island, I saw Charlie Manson , he was there at the time, scary degenerate. I sat with Grand Masters of the Grand Lodge of Mexico and Grandmasters of the Grand lodge of England, my best friend and the one who signed my petition to join the lodge was and is the Grand Lodge of England's representative to the Grand Lodge of Connecticut. I don't care what TRH has to say about it, he is the last person I would seek approval or justification from. I don't go to lodge much these days, due to some personal hard ships. I did learn to enjoy single malt scotch, its and acquired taste from my then Senior Warden when I sat in the East. The Brothers here know as for the rest of you I could care less. I was going to waste some time and read the updates to this thread, and decided to stop. But did read your comments. My father was a mason, i was a catholic. I remember bringing one of his masonic books to the catholic school i attended, and i thought the nun was going to have a heart attack. Now about that time i could have joined demolay, they didn't have a problem with me, but the nun's sure would have given me trouble. Now years later when i was doing my geneology, a mason showed me the records of my fathers induction, and his father's induction. I am sure as with any group there are some bad mason's. Just like in the catholic church you have child predators. But that for sure does not take away from all the good people. One of the things i should do is go talk to the people in the lodge in my home town. I wonder what that would do to my membership in the knights of columbus? Interesting one of the first masons in the state I won't be any more specific is buried next to my grandfather. And I WILL NEVER forget the masonic ritual preformed at the graveside service for my father. For me to look down on the masonic order would be for me to deny my father, and grandfather, and probably those before if i were able to know. Ain't gonna happen.

Should they have stayed home, or instead, gone to church and prayed? You're employing the logical fallacy known as the false dichotomy or false dilemma. The possibility also exists for members of those organizations to stop doing their deeds for the glory of said organizations and start doing them for the glory of God, in which case they'd have merit before God. So the only form of charity you condone is that done in the name of the Christian God? What does it matter what I condone? Where have I said that? I speak of what God has communicated to us in Sacred Scripture. God thinks little of charity done for the glorification of pagan "gods" and occult organizations. God isn't speaking to you.
