              Should a Christian Be a Mason

                                                  Prepared by D. L. Repp, P.E.*

    Freemasonry is a fraternal organization, professing to be Christian. However, it is paganism in disguise and an anti-Christian movement with its roots buried deeply in occult teachings. This knowledge is kept from the initiates of the first three degrees.

    "The blue degrees are but the outer court or portico of the Temple. Part of the symbols is displayed there to the initiate, but he is intentionally misled by false interpretations. It is not intended that he shall understand them. Their true explication is reserved for the adepts, the Princes of Masonry." (P) p 819

The Masonic Doctrine:

    All men believing in a supreme being can gather around an altar; united in prayer as brothers; no one knows what is truth. God is the same by whatever name he is called; no one has the right to interfere with another's religious beliefs.

Ancestry of Freemasonry:

    Albert Mackey states that the Ancient Mysteries were the secret worship rites of pagan gods. Vol II, p 497

    Masonry is "... a successor to the mysteries...." (P) p 22

    Masonry �... is identical with the ancient mysteries." (P) p 23

    Chief of the Tabernacle Degree: "The most widely disseminated of the ancient worships were those of Isis, Orpheus, Dionysos, Ceres and Mithras." (P) p 352

Note: If Freemasonry is a successor and is identical to the ancient mysteries as claimed, we can only conclude that the candidate for initiation into the mysteries of Freemasonry is also a candidate into the ancient mysteries, which were the secret worship rites to pagan gods.

Occult & Kabalistic Teachings:

     The mystical traditions of Masonry were developed and handed down orally among Jewish Rabbis & finally written down as the Kabala. The Kabala, according to the "Sorcerer's Handbook," is "... based upon occult interpretations of the Bible."

    Masonry teaches that the Bible is entirely an allegory and that the Kabala is necessary to unveil its secret meaning. (P) p 745

    "Masonry is a search after light, that search leads us directly back to the Kabala." (P) p 741

   "Do not add to what I command you, and do not subtract from it...." Deut 4:2
