Download or read book Sacred Secrets written by Mike Neville and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who were Tubalcain, Aholiab and Zabud and what is their significance for the Freemason? There is a general interest in the rituals of Freemasonry, generated in part by the apparently obscure references they contain. This is the only book that offers a guide to the stories used in Masonic ritual and their links to the Bible and Christianity. The new Mason is directed to a 'serious contemplation of the Volume of the Sacred Law' — but that is easier said than done without a grounding in the Scriptures, something that fewer and fewer people have. The historical and geographical setting of the Bible is explained here, making such contemplation easier for Mason and non-Mason alike. Mike Neville has systematically cross-referenced the most influential Chapters of the Bible to the ceremonies. It is his intention to get Freemasons to understand the ritual — not just to memorise and regurgitate — as well as to elucidate for the non-Mason. Sacred Secrets will aid the clergy, theologians and any other person interested in Freemasonry to see the links between ritual and scripture.

Download or read book On the Masons and Their Lies written by Michael W. Witcoff and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-05-27 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this second edition of "On The Masons And Their Lies," ex-Mason Michael Witcoff breaks down Masonic philosophy line-by-line and point-by-point. Drawing from Albert Pike's "Morals And Dogma" and the thoughts of other 33rd Degree Scottish Rite Masons, Witcoff compares Masonic Ideology, Theology, Christology, Soteriology, sacraments and more to what is found and transmitted through the ages by the Holy Orthodox Church of Jesus Christ. Beginning with the story of his joining Freemasonry - and how the Holy Spirit eventually guided him out of it - Witcoff details the "4 Satanic Deceptions" which Masonic philosophy uses to draw the mind, heart, and soul of man away from the light of Jesus Christ. If you are a Mason concerned with the state of your soul and your place in the Kingdom Of God, then it is the author's sincerest hope and prayer that this book reveals God's truth and helps you untangle the web of Masonic deceit. It is written as a resource for priests, pastors, Christians and Masons who seek a fuller understanding of what each system teaches - and whether the two are truly compatible. By the time you're done reading this book, you'll know far more about Freemasonry than most of its own members do...and if you're a Christian buying this for someone you love, it just might be exactly what they need to see in order to save them from falling into grave sin and error.

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.
Download or read book Freemasons Guide and Compendium written by Bernard E. Jones and published by Cumberland House Publishing. This book was released on 2006 with total page 648 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1950, the FREEMASONS' GUIDE AND COMPENDIUM is filled with authentic, detailed information on a wide variety of subjects related to masons and masonry. Written by an experienced Freemason with the interests of rank-and-file members of the ordinary lodge in mind'especially the young Craftsman who wishes to learn the nature of Freemasonry's claim to have a history that goes back to ancient days'it provides key facts about masonic history, tradition, and lore. In doing so, the book offers a far greater scope of information than any other comparable work. And Bernard E. Jones critically examines conflicting ideas about how some of the traditions came to be, coming to conclusions of his own.The early chapters of FREEMASONS' GUIDE AND COMPENDIUM describe how the masonic guilds arose in eleven-century England after the Norman conquest. From there Jones moves into the emergence of speculative Freemasonry in the late medieval period and explores its amazing growth as an esoteric system during the eighteenth century.The major part of the book consists of a comprehensive, systematic presentation of information about masonry's customs, principles and tenets, words and phrases, lodge appointments and working tools, symbols and emblems. With the help of the guide and compendium, the Craftsman will have no difficulty in making daily progress in masonic knowledge, and the thorough, exhaustive index will help him to access a great store of knowledge.As interest in the subject of Freemasonry continues to grow, as seen in the movie NATIONAL TREASURE and in Dan Brown's forthcoming book, the FREEMASONS' GUIDE AND COMPENDIUM will be a valuable source of information for anyone who wants to research and understand the masons.
