Short answer. I would question anything said to be written by anyone claiming to be a Freemason. If that is difficult to understand, it should be to anyone but a Freemasom. Others will know of what I speak. Geo Geow, RWE, by saying things like conjecture and no true facts, you are calling the #1 FreeMason of all time a LIAR (ALBERT PIKE) all the information posted thus far was DIRECTLY from Albert Pike 's book . Most if not all the information posted was from some free mason's own books. If you read all of Albert Pike's books and still don't see the points we non-mason Christians are trying to make---- then its no wonder there are so many FreeMasons. You can lead a horse to water......

I'm still curios of Black Masons..
Don't see a whole lot of Bruthas riding in the go-karts... Nope....and you never will Aha,...So that brings me back to my post many pages back... Are the blacks that claim to be masons, ie Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, etc, actually recognized as what most of us would call "Masons" or are they they looked at as those "Prince Hall" Masons that aren't bonafide.? For example... Prince Hall Masons link

He had a lot to teach in spite of all his faults. Even for a Mason like myself who believes in God but considers the concept of Satan to be nothing but superstition of the most rank kind.
You sound like a typical gnostic. That doesn't sound like a gnostic to me. Correct, a gnostic embraces the spiritual world, whereas a Mason appears to embrace and actively interact with the physical.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

I believe it is a local thing. My F&AM Blue Lodge has White and Black, Jews, Protestants, and Catholics. I am very rural. The Prince Hall lodges came into existance out of earlier times/predjudices. They are the same as a Blue Lodge as far as I know. I'm still curios of Black Masons...
Are they accepted into any Lodge, or are they required to go thru the Prince Hall Lodges.?

After much reading and much thought. I think I have a concise statement of my thoughts on this post.
I choose to honor my oath. There are simple answers that I just can't give; much of this stuff is for Masons to know and you to wonder.

Don't make me wonder at all. That "stuff" is is of no value to my life. For sure don't fit with Christian values.
Beware of thieves, scammers and dishonest members on the "Fire" classifieds. Ya there is a thief here too. Whatever!!

Big secret there.

I don't want to come across as a "chapter and verse" internet evangelist, but the statement was made. The bulk of my Father's business is done privately and in person. Hope that doesn't make me a defacto Mason.....

So Mr Birddog, you have the rag on because Freemasons will not divulge to you the things that they consider none of your business.. Correct?
And then someone steps up to bat and mentions Freemasons and a relationship to the Holy Bible.. Do you understand that Freemasonry is not a religion? Nor does it claim to be?

...Satan has no need for secret organizations... That makes sense. There's a lot of 'in your face' pure bad out there...! "...your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." There's nothing stealthy about a "roaring lion".....he's making his presence known...! He may appear as an angel of light, i.e., Lucifer.
