1 | Should a Christian be a Mason? | Bible general Archive 1 | Makarios | 8836 | ||
A friend of mine joined the local Lion's club and I noticed that several of the fellow members are Masons. My friend is a Christian man and attends a church. Is it okay for a Christian to become a Mason? I'm not talking about 'bricklayers'. :) | ||||||

Dear Nolan, I have many family members who are very committed Freemasons, and I'm convinced it is a religion which stands as a separate entity from Christianity. Many of the attacks on Freemasonry are wild misguided witch hunts, which have tended to be self-discrediting, and made Masons feel they are persecuted for righteousness sake; but every time I go to a Masonic funeral I come away weired out enough to believe the enemies of Freemasonry couldn't be all wrong. Charles Finney was a Mason before his salvation, and wrote an interesting book giving his reasons why a Christian should not be a Mason. It's a sane argument, which might still be in print. mrk |

Mark, the "weired out" you feel is the Holy Spirit inside you telling you that it is wrong. The "uneasy" feeling you get is the Holy spirit grieving. Please, with an open mind, for your family's sake, go to the web site I mentioned in my posting or the ones mentioned in Steve's. God Bless, prayon | ||||||

I know you're right about the source of my discomfort. I believe I have also witnessed truly demonic effects of this religion, primarily because they take it so seriously. They can't see it, but the presents of Masonry in the Church is no different than the worship of Baal in Jerusalem. The family knows where I stand, and most know I hate to shake their hands, but we love each other, and I still watch them going to their graves confirming the Scripture: Men love darkness rather than light, because their deeds are evil, and that God visits the sins of the fathers (for ours is a multigenerational affiliation). My objections are as shocking to them as if I said apple pie is tool of Communism to conquer the earth or that I've been receiving messages from people from outerspace. I'll check out the web site. mrk |
