There are several videos on our YouTube about freemasonry (click HERE).

Many men have gotten involved with Freemasonry and do not (did not) know what they were really getting into. Yet, you have to ask, how could they go through the first initiation, and if they truly are Christians, not know this is wrong and diametrically opposed to God's Word. Are your loyalties with Jesus Christ or are they with the lodge?

Everyone who joins the local lodge joins what is called the Blue Lodge, the meeting center, and has to go through an initiation ceremony. Every mason, including those in our churches today, have gone through this initiation; it is the only way you can get into the lodge. The first thing that happens is that a blindfold is put on them, a noose (called a cable tow) is hung on their neck, their shirt is opened to bare their chest, and they are brought to the outer door of the lodge. There, a sharp point (of a compass or a dagger) is placed on their chest. Someone then asks, "Who comes?" to which candidate states "A poor, blind beggar looking to move from darkness to the light of Freemasonry." They are then brought (pulled by the noose) into the masonic lodge where they must bow at an altar. Behind the altar stands a man they call the Worshipful Master of the Lodge (the leader of the lodge). Again the candidate makes his plea for Freemasonry. After answering a series of questions, the mason to be takes a series of blood oaths and promises not to reveal the secrets of Freemasonry that he will learn -- upon having his throat cut from ear to ear.

These are some of the actual oaths a mason must take: In the first degree of the Blue Lodge, "Binding myself under no less a penalty, than having my throat cut across, my tongue torn out from its roots and buried in the rough sands of the sea..." In the second degree, "Binding myself under no less a penalty, than that of having my left breast torn open, my heart plucked out and given as prey to the wild beasts of the field and the foul of the air..." In the third degree (Master mason Degree), "Binding myself under no less a penalty, than that of having my body severed in twain, my bowels taken from thence and burned into ashes..."

For a Christian to go through this, you have to ask several questions: How can a follower of Jesus Christ, go to a masonic lodge, ask for membership, and say I am lost in darkness and I need the light of Freemasonry? Well let's look and see what 1John 1:6-7 has to say about a man that claims to be in darkness:
"If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin."
So if a man is saved by Jesus Christ why does he still think he is in darkness..... Sounds like rejection of the plan of Salvation to me....

One mason, when asked, "If you were to die tonight, and stand before God, and He were to ask you 'Why should I let you into my Heaven'" said that he guessed he would have to tell God that "I was a good mason". You see, many masons believe that masonry is a system of morality. masonry teaches that through one's good works masons can obtain the 'celestial lodge' above, the 'heavenly kingdom'.
Most masons, especially those who are professing Christians, would point us to the fact of all the good works they do. They'd ask, 'How can you say that we are not Christians?' Look at the Shrine homes for the aged, look at the work we do with children, all the good things, don't they count? There's nothing wrong with all of these things, but they are not going to save you. Salvation and eternal life with God the Father is faith and belief in the Lord Jesus Christ by His Grace only!
How can a Christian bow at an altar before a man that is called the Worshipful Master? Jesus said, You cannot serve two masters. There is only one Worshipful Master and that is Jesus Christ AMEN!

Lastly: How can a Christian take a pagan blood oath, swearing to have your throat cut from ear to ear, your heart given to the beasts of the field, your body cut in two and your bowels thrown into the sea? Those pagan blood oaths were forbidden by Jesus in Matthew 5 and in James 5:12

Revelation 9:11 reveals the god of masonry:

The Formation of The United States and George Washington:

Everything free masonry stands on is contrary to Bible teaching, they claim to be based on Christianity and even most claim to have a KJV on their "altar of sacrifice" along with the masonic square and compass on top of the Bible that this is something Jesus Christ would have part of. How about this, call the mormons tell them to come visit you, they will give you a KJV Bible as well, and promise they believe it, yet they believe in baptizing the dead and hell isn't forever and worst of all that man can become god. Just because they claim the KJV as God's word, surely doesn't mean they read it or in the least understand anything in it since it condemns those faiths. Joseph Smith was also a 33rd degree freemason and it is rumored he was murdered because he was sharing lodge secrets in his church.... Kinda strange how the jail was left unguarded so people could get to him, he was shot, thrown out a 2 story window and shot on his way down by several men, sad, he thought he was going to be a god, but he lifted his eyes up in hell.

This is but a small list of famous masons. There are many, many others. The only requirements to become a member of this prestigious group are to profess faith in God and be willing to make a solemn obligation to adhere to the principles of masonry. masonry does not make a man good, but is designed to make a good man better. No atheist can be made a mason. If you are of good character, have a firm belief in the Supreme Being and the immortality of the soul, all you have to do to be one is ask one. masonry is open to all men irrespective of class, religion, race, or national origin. There are also associated masonic orgainizations for women and children. Profess a god like say Aleister Crowley, who was a 33rd degree mason, just do some google looking and you will find out about him (huge into devil worship, no secret he hated Jesus). There is no room for any reasonable doubt as to Masonry’s being a religion. Not only do the symbols, rites and temples of this order point unmistakably to it as a religion, but a great many Masonic authors of note emphatically declare it to be just that. Of almost numberless quotations that could be given here the committee has selected a few. In order for a person to become a shiner, he must not only go through all the degrees of masonry, make all those blood-curdling oaths, worship gods who are not gods except they are of Satan, but he must make a blood both of allegiance to Allah as his god and Mohammed as his prophet. The shiner is then given a red fez with an Islamic sword and crescent jeweled on the front of it. This originates from 7th century Arabia when the Moslems, under the leadership of Mohammed, slaughtered all Christians who would not bow down to Allah. Allah, by the way, was not another (generic) name given to God by Mohammed; Allah is the tribal deity --the moon god-- of Mohammed; it was the name of the god in the tribe that Mohammed was born into. That is why every mosque today has a crescent moon on the top of its spire. Now when Mohammed's army of men, out to slaughter all the 'infidels', came to the city of Fez, in Morocco, they found a community of Christians. After killing all the Christians there with their Islamic-style swords, they took their hats (called a fez) and dipped them in the blood of the Christians, and wore the fezzes throughout the land glorying in their victory over Christianity. Today shiner's put on red fezzes (representing the hats dipped in the blood of Christians) with the Islamic sword and crescent showing their allegiance to Allah and Mohammed (and the defeat of Christianity). I will be handing this out to the masons that stand in the road and risk people getting hurt begging for money for their sick cause all while hiding behind sick children! My dad's dad was part of the shiners and since 1994 I believe that he is in hell as you read this because he was fooled by the devil and his lodge brothers and rejected Christ for the power and games that come with being a mason.
By their own admissions they worship whatever they want to call god, not the God of the Bible and no mention ever of Lord Jesus Christ, which the very name makes the devils tremble in fear and it's no wonder why they won't use it. In JESUS there is power, but it causes what gives them power to flee so they don't want any of that! Since Freemasonry teaches a false plan of salvation, Masons are not following in the teachings of Jesus Christ. 2 John 1:9 allows us to know that since they are not following in the teachings of Jesus, they do not have God. Freemasonry is classic devil worship. 1 Corinthians 10:20-21 allows us to know that the sacrifices of pagans are offered to devils, rather than God. Although we can say with certainty that the god of Freemasonry is a devil, we do not know specifically which devil Masons worship in lodge. We simply know that they refer to their devil as the Great Architect of the Universe, or GAOTU. All devils are under the leadership of Satan. Therefore, Freemasons cannot avoid worshiping Satan by proxy. Very few of them realize the facts in this aspect of Masonic worship. A great many Masons, even some who do not claim to be Christians, would leave the lodge immediately if the names of Satan, or Lucifer, were substituted for the GAOTU in Masonic prayers. Satan would not allow that to occur, because the more effective lie is the one which is closer to the truth, without being true.

Categories and Levels

The Blue Lodge All masons must undergo an initation to enter the Blue lodge. The Blue lodge has three degrees: Entered Apprentice --- Fellow Craft --- Master Mason To achieve each of these levels, one must go through rituals and swear an oath. One such oath is as follows: "I promise and swear, that I will not write, print, stamp, stain, hew, cut, carve, indent, paint, or engrave any secrets on anything movable or immovable.. binding myself under no less penalty then to have my throat cut across, my tongue torn out by the roots, and my body buried in the rough sands of the sea at low water mark.. where the tide ebbs and flows twice in twenty four hours; so help me God, and keep me steadfast in the due performance of the same" Now the word is, they have toned the oath down a bit, but they are still told never to tell of the goings on and never tell any secret. Once this is done the mason receives his degree as Master Mason and has his ring and other trinkets to be identified by other masons. From here a mason may choose to go on further in one of two branches. The York Rite or The Scottish Rite. The York Rite Also called the American Rite, this is the most popular one to follow. The York is perhaps the oldest form of the craft. There are ten degrees in in York Rite.
It is split into three categories: The Royal Arch Chapter, The Council of Royal and Select Masters and The Commandery of Knights Templar.

These ten include the three from the Blue Lodge and the others are as follows:

Mark Master(4th) Past Master(5th) Most Excellent Master(6th)

Royal Arch Master(7th) Royal Master(8th) Select Master(9th)

Super Excellent Master(10th)

Select Master has three degrees which one can enter:

Order of the Red Cross Order of the Knights of Malta

Order of the Knights Templar. Knights Templar is the highest in the York Rite.

As in the Blue lodge, one must swear an oath of secrecy and obedience. Notice how each one of these titles uses "Master", the tile that is given to the Lord Jesus Christ. Members of the Craft are nothing more the glory hunters wanting to puff up their Pride! This was and is one of satan's flaws and as we continue, you will see the comparison. No one but God may be worshiped.
