Freemasonry vs Christianity. 7 Fundamental Beliefs That Differentiate Masons from Christians

Freemasonry versus Christianity. The  Masonic Lodge or the craft or the lodge, their differences in beliefs versus those from the  Christians. There are seven fundamental beliefs that differentiate masons from the Christians. 

Now, who are the masons and what do they believe? So in USA there's estimation of about 869,000  to 2 million people that belong to the Masonic Lodge. The global membership is about 6 million. 

They are represented in at least 20 countries and 14 US presidents have been masons. The origins of  the freemasonry are likely to be in associations with stone masons who built Scottish and English  Cathedrals and castles during the Middle Ages. The first grand lodge was established in London  England in 1717.

The first lodge in America America was established in Boston in 1733. At  least nine of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were said to have been masons.  George Washington was one of them, so was Benjamin Franklin.

At least 14 to 15 American presidents  have been masons. Now other famous masons you know include musicians like Mozart and authors  like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Clark Gable, actor and the head of the FBI Edgar Hoover. Now  the Masonic Lodge increased its influence in the USA in about 1800s establishing several thousand  of lodges.

The Masonic Lodge has developed into various groupings, call them like denominations.  The blue lodge which is often seen as the oldest lodge and the entry point into the masonry. And  one must join the blue lodge before moving into other lodges.

The second one is the York rite  and the Scottish rite are the two options that follow the membership in the blue lodge and the  York rite comes from the York England where the early lodge was and the third grouping of the  lodge is the Scottish rite. And this one actually comes from France not Scotland and it's the other  major branch of Freemasonry. So the blue lodge, the York rite, and the Scottish rite.

When  it comes to the initiation and this is where things get pretty crazy and spooky and demonic is  masonry has a close association and connection to Baal. For example, the York rite and the Scottish  rite have serious levels of degrees that members need to be initiated into. For example, in the  York rite there is a level that's called Royal Arch decree initiation into this degree involves  involves various rituals including the learning of the lost word which is revealed as Jah-Bul-On  on the Jah stands for Jewish God or Roman deity or Jesus.

Pretty much kind of the Jah or Jah  stands for anything. Jewish God, Roman deity or Jesus. The Bul stands for Baal and On represents  Egyptian god.

So pretty much your initiation is learning this lost word which is combination  of all the gods including a Jewish God, Jesus and Baal and Egyptian god together and you're  learning that as your way of being initiated. The other weird part about masonry that you probably  have heard is their violent oaths. Those who are initiated, they're initiated to various decrees  and often they swear violent oaths.

For example, binding myself under no less penalty than to  have my skull smote off and my brains exposed to the scorching rays of the meridian sun or  another oath, binding myself under no less penalty than to have my throat cut across and my  tongue torn out by the roots and my body buried in the rough sands of the sea at low-water  mark. Pretty brutal and pretty crazy. Now here are the seven fundamental beliefs that  differentiate masons from Christians.

The first one is the uniqueness of God. In Freemasonry,  the uniqueness of God is denied. Masonry says, the gods of the pagan nations are pretty much  the same as the God of the Bible.

Masonic writer Albert Pike States Jubelum means that  which proceeds or comes from Om and it should be spelled as Jabulon combining Jah from the  Hebrew, Baal from Phoenicians and Om from Hindu, showing that these gods are pretty much  the same. So the core of their teaching, they're teaching that the gods of pagan nations  are pretty much the same as the Hebrew God. The second difference is the uniqueness of Jesus  as the Messiah.

In masonry, that is denied. Masonry teaches that messiahs in all religions  are basically the same. They're here to inspire hope.

Masonic writer Rex in his book, 'A Bridge to  Light' says, The purpose of teaching the concept of a Messiah in Freemasonry is to point out to its  near universality in a well-developed religions of the ancient world. We see references of the  gods of Greeks, the gods of Persians, the gods of Hindus, the gods of Egyptians, and the God, Jesus  of the Christians. The purpose of these messiahs in these cultures was to find in human form and  this is his quote, a source of intercession with Deity.

In particular, one who as a human has  been tempted and suffered the daily struggles of life so that he could be expected to possess a  particular sympathy and understanding. In a word, messiahs expressed hope. The true mason and I  quote is not creed-bound.

He realizes with the divine illumination of this lodge that a Mason's  religion must be universal. Christ, Buddha or Muhammad, the name means little, for he recognizes  only the light not the bearer. He worships at every shrine, listen to this, bows before every  altar, whether in temple, mosque or cathedral, realizes with his truer understanding the oneness  of all spiritual truth.

In other words, every way leads to God. Every religion is basically the  same. All messiahs are just trying in human form inspire hope.

Third difference between Masons  and Christians is salvation by faith is denied by free masons. Speaking of a stage setting during  initiation of the 17th degree Scotch rite masonry illustrated reads, This is supposed to represent  the end of the world when all the good masons receive their reward by being conducted to a  throne at the right hand of all this deity, having been purified by washing their robes and listen to  this, in their own blood, meaning, that the masons will be purified by washing their robes in their  own blood. Now, it's very contrary to Christian faith, who according to Revelation 7:14 The Bible  teaches us that we washed our robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb, in Jesus's blood,  not our own.

We are saved and the Bible says, we are saved through faith by grace, not from  good works or definitely not by washing our robes with our own blood. The fourth difference is in  Freemasonry, you are required taking oaths which is against Christian scriptures. I've already  have mentioned these oaths.

They're pretty scary. I mean you want to rip your tongue out by  its roots, bury your body in the rough sands of the sea or you know have your brain be scorched  with the sun's rays, if you break your oaths. Now compare it to the Bible in James 5:12 it says,  But above all, my brethren, do not swear neither by heaven or by earth or with any other oath.

But  let your 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No,' 'No,' lest you fall into judgment. The fifth difference is  Freemasonry denies the exclusivity of Christian faith. Albert Pike which is mason's author said  the following, Toleration, holding that every other man has the same right to his opinion and  faith that we have to ours.

Liberality, holding that no human being can with certainty say, in the  clash and conflict of hostile faiths and creeds, what is truth and that he is surely in possession  of it. So everyone should feel that it is quite possible that another equally honest and sincere  with himself, yet holding the contrary opinion, may himself be in possession of the truth and  whatever one firmly and conscientiously believes, is truth, to him. In other words, Hey everyone  is honest and sincere and if they are, whatever they believe, even if these things clash and  contradict, they are the truth to this person and you should respect that.

So if 2 + 2 is four for  you and you're sincere, that is your answer but if 2 + 2 is five for you and you are sincere, that is  your answer and we respect that meaning, there's no such a thing as the right and wrong. It's  really all about tolerating and it's all about relevance and it's everybody has their own truth  and everybody's truth is correct meaning, masonry is tolerant even supportive of the most diverse  religious beliefs but you know common sense here. Well, Jesus cannot be the Son of God, the way  of salvation the only truth and not be that at the same time.

So Jesus says, I am the way, the  truth and life you know that is either correct or not. That is very narrow because He either is the  truth or He is not. He didn't say, I am a truth.

He said, I'm the truth and so all other people of  religions never claim to be the truth. Some claim to be the seeker of the truth. Some claim to be  prophets of the truth and so Christ said that so this idea that every religion is accurate, that  just goes contrary to common sense and just even you know you will never apply that in any other  sphere of life, taking contradictory things and say, yeah, all of that is still correct and  the Bible is sharply against that because it's not that the Bible is narrow-minded, it's that  there's only one person who claimed to be perfect, who died, took our sin upon Himself and rose from  the dead and so there's no competition with Jesus because nobody claimed to be perfect and nobody  claimed to take the sins of people upon Himself and nobody rose from the dead.

Every founder  of every religion is still dead and therefore Christians believe that Jesus is the Son of God,  fully human, fully man and fully God. He died for our sins and because of that, we can't believe  all other stuff that contradicts because none of these other guys died for us. Now, number  six.

Masons initially deny they are a religion whereas Christian faith consistently recognizes  itself for what it is. The religious teaching of the only way to God. Now, yes, we're not a  religion in a sense, we are not about earning our salvation by good works.

We are a relationship but  Christianity recognizes itself as teaching people, the only way, the right way to God. Now, here  are the statements from masons. Masonry is not a religion.

No. Freemasonry is not a religion  or a substitute for religion. However, it is an organization of men who all profess a belief  in a spiritual or Supreme Being and it includes spiritual or religious elements in its ceremonies. 

While it is built on the premise that the universe and all life are creations of a deity, Freemasons  deal more with man's relationship with his fellow man than with his relationship with his God.  Another quote from Freemasons. They said, we open and close our lodges with prayer.

So they're  saying, it's not a religion but you know we believe in deity. We believe in creation. We open  our lodges with prayer and we invoke the blessing of the Most High upon all our labors.

We demand of  our visitors or members, a profession of trusting belief in the existence and superintending care  of God and we teach them to bow with humility and reverence at his sacred name, while his holy law  is widely opened upon our altars. It is impossible that a Freemason can be a true and trusty in his  order unless he is a respecter of religion and an observer of religious principle. So they are a  religion but they claim that they are not.

In fact ,I would say it's not just a religion, it's an  occult and it's not just an occult, it's demonic system. At first, it may seem like oh it's not  a big deal but when you start doing deliverance and you start coming against these principalities  and these demons, this stuff is real. They like to claim that they're not religious but you know they  believe in God.

They believe in immortality of the soul and they also have a system and practices  and of sacred things. They have decrees and levels which members are initiated into. So by  that definition, whether they like to admit it or not, Freemasonry is a religion and it's a false  religion.

The seventh difference is Freemasonry in reality teaches that it is the only true religion.  At first, it's like every religion is right. Every God is right.

Every messiah is right but I want  you to listen to this. Masonry and I quote it is the universal, eternal, immutable religion such as  God planted in the heart of universal humanity. A mason must and I quote, strip from all religions  their orthodox tenants, legends, allegories and dogmas.

In other words, a mason has a superior  insight beyond all the separated religious groups. Masonic poetry sung at a masonic baptism. Onward  and all earth shall aid us, Ere our peaceful flag be furled, Masonry at last shall conquer, And  its altar be the world.

So religion, conquest is part of their songs. Now I want to bring this  video closer to an end on dealing with deliverance from Freemasonry. Yes, not only repentance from  Freemason, if you are in Freemasonry, you need to believe Jesus and the gospel and repent.

If you  maybe are Christian and you're like, oh it's not a big deal. I have a membership at Freemasonry and  I participate in all the rituals because it's just an association of business people and we're just  there to focus on charity and we do good things. Respectfully, you are deceived and not only  you are deceived, you need to be delivered.

Now Reverend Bob Larson who is probably one of the  best experts in cults and false religions and has done more deliverance than anyone that I know. In  his blog and in his video he mentioned this about Freemasonry and he pointed out two things when  it comes to deliverance with people or on people dealing with Freemasonry. First he said that  there's a gruesome oath of death which we've heard that initiates that every initiate takes and they  bring death upon themselves through their oath that they need to renounce.

Secondly Larson states  that he has heard hundreds of people who came out of Freemasonry that had serious sexual immorality  and perversion that goes on in the masonic lodges. Now Larson also states that the demons he has  interrogated have boasted of the immoral things done in Freemasonry. Larson is careful to state  that not all lodges have this problem but many do.

So as a deliverance minister, you must be  aware of issues relating to death and to sexual perversion when dealing with Freemasonry. Now Bob  Larson has a whole book that I would encourage, I'll pin the link on freedom from Freemasonry  which deals pretty much with all the points of renouncing Freemasonry and I'm going to mention  few of them from this book as well as what to do if you are coming out of Freemasonry or you've  been in Freemasonry and you became a Christian or if you are in Freemasonry and you want to come out  and become a Christian. Here are some practical things.

Number one is you got to receive Jesus as  your Lord and Savior, your only Lord and Savior, okay. Not Jesus and plus. Jesus only.

Grace  only through faith. Secondly, you got to repent of your past sins including involvement with  Freemasonry whether it was out of curiosity, ignorance, whatever your reasons were. You  got to repent of that because it's a false religion.

Number three is you got to renounce all  involvement in Freemasonry, any other lodge or craft by your ancestors or yourself meaning, your  involvement or any of your ancestors. For example, you got to renounce the mysticism of Freemasonry.  You got to renounce the craft of Freemasonry.

You got to renounce all the bondage to the  antichrist, the stronghold of Freemasonry and the book of constitution that is given to  Freemasons. You got to renounce the lie that a Freemason is free because every lodge member is  under spiritual bondage. You got to renounce all the fears that held you and your ancestors in  Freemasonry.

You got to renounce every position you or your ancestors held in the lodge. Renounce  calling any man master. renounce the effects of Freemasonry that were passed on to you through any  female ancestor who felt distrusted or rejected by her husband as he entered and attended any lodge  and refused to tell her of his secret activities.

You got to renounce all the obligations, oaths  and curses. You got to renounce also the master mason certificate. You got to renounce the curse  that came through opening doors to false religions including New Age, mysticism, seduction to other  religions.

You got to also renounce your ties to all false religious bonded to Freemasonry  through you know Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Mormonism and all other religions. So there's so  many more things and I would just encourage you if you've been in Freemasonry, I'm going to attach  the book. Just go download it, take it through layer by layer and renounce those things so that  you can be free from that.

Now some of you may say well, I just repented. I don't need to renounce  that but if you made pledges, if you made oaths, if you wrote things and you kind of went into that  deep end, you got to renounce that. The Bible says to renounce the hidden things of shame.

I like  what one pastor mentioned about renouncing is when you repent you know it's kind of like you delete  the Netflix app. Let's say you're trying to get rid of Netflix. You deleted the app but when you  renounce, it's like you unsubscribe and so and the reason why renouncing is important is because in  these religions, these cults when you go in, you pledge things.

You sign things. You get initiated  into things. You don't just get out when you're like oh yeah, I'm done with it.

Well, you might  be done. They're not done with you and so you got to renounce those things now and one more thing,  I want to mention not only you got to renounce is you got remove all symbols, items and objects  and literature that connects you to Freemasonry and lastly, recommit your life to living for  Jesus 100% So if you've been in Freemasonry, Hey repent, renounce, remove things and recommit  your life to Jesus. If you are in Freemasonry, you got to get out because you are on the false  path.

There's no other name given unto man by which we can be saved and that name is Jesus.  You think you are free but you are not free because you are bound and you are deceived. You  probably have good intentions.

Please understand, you can have good intentions going in the wrong  direction. Jesus is the only way. He died for your sins.

He's the only one that is qualified to be  your Savior. Only one that claimed to be perfect. Born out of virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, did  not die for His sins but for yours even the guy that was crucifying Him and signed His crucifixion  said, I am innocent of this Man's blood meaning, Jesus was innocent.

The guy that betrayed Him,  Judas claimed that I betrayed innocent blood. The Roman centurion that was standing and watching  this whole thing said, this Man was a Son of God. So Jesus is who He claimed to be and if you  don't believe that, go find His tomb, it is empty because Jesus is the Son of God and salvation is  only by trusting in Him.

So place your trust in Jesus. Repent of Freemasonry. Renounce that and  follow the Lord and He will bless you.

Thank you for watching this video. Hey, if you're interested  I have other videos about Islam and Christianity, Mormonism and Christianity, Jehovah Witness and  Christianity and many more coming. Every few months, I release a new one.

Make sure you check  them out as well. God bless you until next time.
