Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although modern Freemasonry dates back to 1717 in England, the disciplined Order soon developed in America. An incident in 1926 in Batavia, New York led to a devastating upheaval that nearly destroyed Masonry in America. However, One Joseph Smith, Jr. took particular interest in all that was happening in Batavia with the Freemasons and likely thought that it would be the end of the Order. He grasped what he learned from Batavia and used his findings to develop his own religious movement in Palmyra, New York. Members of Joseph, Jr's family were Masons. In 1930 Joseph, Jr's 584 pages "Book of Mormon" was printed and the "Church of God" became formally established. The new church drew members and established a church site in Kirtland, Ohio. Church visions quickly changed to establish the "City of Zion" for the second coming of Christ just east of Independence, Missouri. The church members followed and set roots in the new city of Zion. It was a mistaken vision because the Mormon membership rapidly grew and overtook the local government. The government retaliated and forced the Mormons out of Missouri. A Mormon Quorum had been established and was comprised of Freemasons for the most part, but at this point, some of the Quorum split off to form their own sects. The Mormon church body moved back to Illinois and established themselves in Nauvoo, Illinois on the Mississippi River. Joseph Smith, Jr, now know as Prophet Joseph Smith lead a continuously growing movement and was granted militia privilege by the governor. Notable John Browning, the gunsmith, established his family in Nauvoo. Members of the church Quorum encouraged the Illinois Grand Lodge of Masonry to establish a Lodge in Nauvoo. Prophet Smith became a Mason as did every man in the colony, the largest membership base in the state. However, they defiled the Grand Lodge and were stripped of their Masonry. Surrounding citizens rose up against the Mormons, Prophet Smith, and some Quorum members were jailed and vigilantes shot and killed Prophet Smith. The Mormons were then run out of Illinois and headed west to a "New Zion" by Bringham Young. The Mormon migration was underway to Western Iowa and then beyond. The ultimate Mormon colony settled in Salt Lake City

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freemasonry in AMERICA was torpedoed by one man in 1826. Then Freemasonry in AMERICA all but died! Mormonism was born as a new religion in 1830 seemingly from the ashes of Freemasonry. As it turned out, Freemasonry unknowingly provided inspiration and direction for Mormonism to develop and grow. The secretive fraternity of Freemasonry and the secretive religion of Mormonism grew using the same tenants. The world now benefits from the growth and services of both organizations.

This book was released on 2022-08-09 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While no one thing can entirely explain the rise of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the historical influence of Freemasonry on this religious tradition cannot be refuted. Those who study Mormonism have been aware of the impact that Freemasonry had on the founding prophet Joseph Smith during the Nauvoo period, but his involvement in Freemasonry was arguably earlier and broader than many modern historians have admitted. The fact that the most obvious vestiges of Freemasonry are evident only in the more esoteric aspects of the Mormon faith has made it difficult to recognize, let alone fully grasp, the relevant issues. Even those with both Mormon and Masonic experience may not be versed in the nineteenth-century versions of Masonry's rituals, legends, and practices. Without this specialized background, it is easy to miss the Masonic significance of numerous early Mormon ordinances, scripture, and doctrines. Method Infinite: Freemasonry and the Mormon Restoration offers a fresh perspective on the Masonic thread present in Mormonism from its earliest days. Smith's firsthand knowledge of and experience with both Masonry and anti-Masonic currents contributed to the theology, structure, culture, tradition, history, literature, and ritual of the religion he founded.

Download or read book Equal Rites written by Clyde R. Forsberg Jr. and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2004-03-10 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both the Prophet Joseph Smith and his Book of Mormon have been characterized as ardently, indeed evangelically, anti-Masonic. Yet in this sweeping social, cultural, and religious history of nineteenth-century Mormonism and its milieu, Clyde Forsberg argues that masonry, like evangelical Christianity, was an essential component of Smith's vision. Smith's ability to imaginatively conjoin the two into a powerful and evocative defense of Christian, or Primitive, Freemasonry was, Forsberg shows, more than anything else responsible for the meteoric rise of Mormonism in the nineteenth century. This was to have significant repercussions for the development of Mormonism, particularly in the articulation of specifically Mormon gender roles. Mormonism's unique contribution to the Masonic tradition was its inclusion of women as active and equal participants in Masonic rituals. Early Mormon dreams of empire in the Book of Mormon were motivated by a strong desire to end social and racial discord, lest the country fall into the grips of civil war. Forsberg demonstrates that by seeking to bring women into previously male-exclusive ceremonies, Mormonism offered an alternative to the male-dominated sphere of the Master Mason. By taking a median and mediating position between Masonry and Evangelicism, Mormonism positioned itself as a religion of the people, going on to become a world religion. But the original intent of the Book of Mormon gave way as Mormonism moved west, and the temple and polygamy (indeed, the quest for empire) became more prevalent. The murder of Smith by Masonic vigilantes and the move to Utah coincided with a new imperialism—and a new polygamy. Forsberg argues that Masonic artifacts from Smith's life reveal important clues to the precise nature of his early Masonic thought that include no less than a vision of redemption and racial concord.

Book excerpt: If you are a pagan there is no problem being a Mason, because it's a pagan society. The god they serve is a three headed deity called JaoBulOn. If you are a Christian, you have a problem. If your church is dying, if evangelism is a foreign word in your congregation, if there is discord within its ranks, if some small clique of people control the board and the decisions, check it out. The Masons may be in control and the Holy Spirit of God may be going to church down the street. Masonry is one of the most volatile subjects in the Christian church today. Where did Masonry come from? Is it the fun fraternity they claim or is it the keeper of dark and hidden things? Ed Decker has carefully researched and studied the issues, doctrines and practices of Freemasonry. This booklet is an essential tool in understanding the challenge of a pagan invasion that has infiltrated the core of Christianity itself.
