Christianity and Masonry
There are many People, who believe that Masonry is just another denomination of Christianity. I read a book called fast facts on false teachings by Ron Carlson and Ed. Decker. In it, it says {The more we studied Masonry, the more we realized the depth of its satanic hold over those within its “strong Grip.”} Within the pages of the hundreds of Masonic books and secret ritual manuals we have gathered and read in our research is a tragic story of godly men who have succumbed to the snare of the enemy. They have brought the darkest side of Ball worship into their homes and congregations. Since we have been speaking on this subject, we have seen thousands of Masons who have literally fled the Lodge once they have had that mask of deceit removed. In fact, we have seen whole churches repent. Ron Carlson was speaking at one of the largest churches in South Texas. Before he got up to speak on Sunday morning, some of the elders of the church had noticed his tape on Masonry and came to the Pastor’s office. They said to him why! Are we allowing this person to speak? Ron found out that the Sunday school superintendent was the Worshipful Master of the Lodge in town. The Chairman of the church was the Supreme Potentate of the Shrine, and many of the elder4s were Masons. When they7 confronted Ron, he responded, “Everything I share on this tape is documented from your own Masonic authority, as you will hear tonight. If you have a problem with what I say, it’s not with me, It’s with your own Masonic leaders .” These leaders took the tape back to their Masonic Lodge on Sunday night. They spent till four in the morning going through the documentation from their own Masonic library. On Monday morning they came back and said, “Ron, We did not realize what we were involved with.”
Ed has had similar experiences. In one Church in Florida, the Masons in the church threatened the pastor with harm if he allowed Ed to speak. {The Church was heavily populated with Masons. They let the pastor know that Ed was in serious physical danger, and the church office was receiving threatening phone calls. In the Sunday morning service Ed spoke on Freemasonry the night. Both Ed and the pastor were physi9cally shoved about in the hallway after the service. Things were very tense, but the pastor, a Godly man, was determined to deal with Freemasonry that night. Near the end of the evening service Ed had an altar call for those who wanted to renounce Freemasonry and get right with the Lord in the matter. Many Masons came forward, and many didn’t. But Ed will never forget the words of the pastor to his congregation later, at the end of that service. Speaking directly to the Masons in the congregation, he said, “Dear brothers, I must tell you that I was give you one week to repent and leave Freemasonry or leave this church. If you refuse to do either, we will remove you name from the rolls next Sunday. If you think you can remove me, then have a business meeting and vote me out if you can, for I will not be a pastor of a church that has allowed Freemasonry to take root within it.” A large number of his congregation did leave. But something special happened there: A new, freer spirit was present in the church. Worship was deeper and giving increased, surpassing the church income that had come from the Masons. Plus new people came and overflowed the pews in a greater number that ever before. Most Masons get involved with the Lodge out of peer pressure: Their friends are in it or their grandfather was in it. Some go into it for business reasons: They see it as a way to progress in their business and social lives. Others are attracted by the secret, mystic rituals and symbolism of Freemasonry. Others see people like the Shiners parading around in the red fezzes, riding their funny cars in parades when the Shrine circus comes to town. People wonder, “Well what about the Shriners? We hear about the Shriners’ Hospital, about Masonic homes for Masons, about all the good works they do. Everyone knows about the Shrine Circus and the many people who are helped by them Why are you criticizing Them? Are you saying that they have something to hide from the world? Yes, we are saying just that. This is clearly the case with the case with the Shriners. Their public image is that of a fun-time group pouring out millions of dollars into charity, all the while dressed up in a party spirit, wearing their red fezzes with great aplomb. The fez itself is an example of the double meaning behind most of Freemasonry’s façade. Worn by every Shriner and even carried to the grave with pompous dignity, the history of the fez is both barbaric and anti-Christian. In the early eighth century, Muslim hordes overran the Moroccan city of Fez, shouting, :There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is his prophet.” There they butchered the Christian community. These men, women, and children were slain because of their faith in Christ, all in the name of Allah, the same demon god to who every Shriner must bow in worship, With hands tied behind his back, proclaiming him the god of his fathers in the Shrine initiation, at the Alter of Obligation. In usual occult fashion, the initiate swears that he will be inseparable obligated to this :most powerful and binding oath” in advance, and that he may never retract in or depart from it. The Shriners’ blood oath and confession of Allah as god is documented in the secret Lodge document The Mystic Shrine: An illustrated Ritual of the Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Shrine, 1975 edition (pages 20-22). Remember the Allah is not just another name for God. Allah is the name of another god. During the butchering of the people of Fez, the streets literally ran red with the blood of the martyred Christians. The Muslim murderers dipped their caps in the blood of their victims as a testimony to Allah. These bloodstained caps eventually were called fezzes and became a badge of honor for those who dilled a Christian. The Shriners wear that same red fez today, with the Islamic sword and crescent encrusted with jewels on the front. The greatest tragedy is that the fez is often worn by men who profess to be Christians themselves. It must cause God to weep that any Christian man would wear such a blasphemous thing, even in ignorance! When they get to level 33 they must pledge their faithfulness to Abaddon. Revelation 9:10-11 They had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. And their power was to hurt men five months. And they had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon. Lee Martone
