Subject: Should a Christian be a Mason? |
Bible Note: Having once been a practicing Mason, I'd say that the "bloody oaths" are more bark than bite. I've never known or heard of violence being inflicted upon a Mason by another because of some infraction of the pledge to secrecy. As a matter of fact, I never found the "secrets" of Masonry to be anything of any real substance anyway, and the fact is most people couldn't care less about their so-called secrets...... In my case, eventually I began to have some misgiving about whether my memembership in the Freemasons, or any other "secret" order, was the proper thing for me as a Christian; hence, I became a drop-out. I might add, parenthetically, that by and large I found the ritual extremely boring and uninteresting, and in the main rather pointless. --Hank |
