FreeMasonry

"The dunces who led primitive Christianity astray, by substituting faith for science, reverie for experience, the fantastic for the reality; and the inquisitors who for so many ages waged against Magism (magic and sorcery) a war of extermination, have succeeded in shrouding in darkness the ancient discoveries of the human mind." -Albert Pike, 33rd degree Mason, Morals and Dogma

Basic Beliefs:

• The Masons are not considered to be a cult by many because of Christian involvement in the organization, but a close look at their beliefs shows otherwise.
• There are 3 levels: apprentice, fellowcraft, and master mason, which contains 33 degrees.
• The higher degrees are only offered to those who want to pursue further, and they must become a member of the Scottish Rite or the York Rite to get past the 3rd degree. 
• They teach that the Messiah will be an idea at the pinnacle of evolution, not a personal savior.
• The focus of the organization is a search for "the Light".
• They claim that Freemasonry is based upon the Bible, but it is actually based upon the Kabbalah, a book of witchcraft.

Jesus:

• They do not recognize the deity of Christ or acknowledge him as "the Light".
• Salvation is through works. It is based upon living a good life and by attaining the level of master mason.
• "The religion of Freemasonry is not Christian." - Albert Mackey, 33rd degree Mason
• They place themselves above all religions, which they place on equal standings.
• They do not acknowledge the sinfulness of man or the need for forgiveness, only the pursuance of "the light".
• They pray, but are forbidden to pray in Jesus' name, and they omit His name from any Scripture they read.

Salvation:

• They claim that salvation is only available through their organization.

"I hereby promise the Great Spirit Lucifer, Prince of Demons, that each year I will bring unto him a human soul to do with as as it may please him, and in return Lucifer promises to bestow upon me the treasures of the Earth and fulfill my every desire for the length of my natural life. If I fail to bring him each year the offering specified above, then my own soul shall be forfeit to him." 

- Manly P. Hall, The Secret Teachings of All Ages



"Masonry is regarded as the direct descendant, or as a survival of the mysteries...of Isis and Osiris in Egypt."

- Robert Freke Gould, History of Freemasonry

Witness Focus:

• Be prepared to come in contact with some Christians who are part of the Freemasons, and see no problem with it.
• For them, ask them questions concerning salvation in the Masonic Order.
• For others, show them the impossibility of being good enough to earn salvation.
• Show them that there is only one true God, who they will one day stand in judgment before, and that they must be prepared.

"We shall unleash the Nihilists and Atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effects of absolute Atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will be from that moment without compass, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view, a manifestation which will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and Atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time."

- Albert Pike, in Aug. 15, 1871 letter to Grand Master Guiseppie Mazzini (British Museum Archives)




"That which we must say to the crowd is, we worship a God, but it is the God one adores without superstition. To you sovereign grand inspector general, we say this and you may repeat it to the brethren of the 32nd, 31st and 30th degrees - the Masonic religion should be by all of us initiates of the high degrees, maintained in the purity of the luciferian doctrine. If Lucifer were not God, would Adonay (the God of the Christians) whose deeds prove cruelty, perfidy and hatred of man, barbarism and repulsion for science, would Adonay and His priests, calumniate Him? Yes, Lucifer is God, and unfortunately Adonay is also God, for the eternal law is that there is no light without shade, no beauty without ugliness, no white without black, for the absolute can only exist as two gods. Darkness being necessary for light to serve as its foil, as the pedestal is necessary to the statue, and the brake to the locomotive. Thus, the doctrine of Satanism is heresy, and the true and pure philosophical religion is the belief in Lucifer, the equal of Adonay, but Lucifer, God of light and God of good, is struggling for humanity against Adonay, the god of darkness and evil."
