I have received several responses to my last post which for various reasons I have decided not to publish.
I would like to say that there are I am sure many freemasons (even ‘Christian’ freemasons) who know nothing about the pagan origin and occultic practices associated with freemasonry and it is only the select few (those of 33 degree and above) who are Luciferian. The run of the mill freemason, who doesnt aspire to the higher levels, is simply deceived by their leaders and led into the occult without knowing, as he progreeses upwards.
For those wishing to know the truth there are many well researched web sites that will show you the evidence to back up the occultic nature of freemasons. Two are listed below.

On a more personal level, my last post didn’t accuse anyone of anything in particular. I merely pointed out the significance of pinetree, acacia, myrtle and box amongst freemasons. I am aware that these are words used in the Bible as well but it seemed more than co-incidental that they were all used together at the church we were attending.
So, I do believe there is a deception here! I do not however, know who is deceived, nor by whom, but I do know who is behind it – the deceiver, Satan.
Satan will use whatever means he can to lead people astray and to cause Christian folk, maybe unwittingly to pay homage to him, at the expense of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus.
And as a final comment on this subject I have not got an agenda against freemasons. I have compassion for freemasons as I do any who are misled.
In my opinion freemasons are just another group of people, like the Roman Catholics, Jehova Witnesses, Mormons, etc. who are being deceived and I earnestly pray that if you are a freemason you will see the truth and come to know the joy of serving the true Master, the Lord Jesus.
I know you won’t post it, but I am about as “high” level as you can get and none of your post is true. If you wish to criticize Freemasonry for its ecumenical bent, or for somehow taking time from church then that is fine. I know of no Mason who would be upset that you came to that conclusion (they would disagree though).
But the rest, luciferianism, et al, are well documented hoaxes. There are MANY people who have made fortunes telling horror stories to hardcore evangelical audiences about Masons, Mormons, Catholics, Hindus, Secular Humanists, and so on.
There is plenty of legit criticism (all of which I would disagree with, but that makes it no less valid) but you are reading false books, tracts, and opinions ginned up to make money.
You should research more carefully. No disrespect intended. Part of my obligation as a Mason is not to argue with people who disagree with Masonry. Take all the shots you want, but don’t base them on all the junk material used to raise money from horrified evangelicals.

I am cool posting comments of opposing views on my blog provided they are civil.
It is I think easier to say that the claims about Freemasonry are ‘ well documented hoaxes’ rather than actually checking out the claims yourself.
The pagan and occultic practises of Freemasonry are facts and as I have said previously I believe the vast majority of freemasons are deceived by the elect few (33 degree and above), and thus find themselves immersed in the occult before they know it.
If a person wants to be a Freemason the it is entirely up to them. We all have a choices to make but I believe the most important choice is whether to follow the God of the Bible through Jesus or not!
Check out the links on previous pages of this blog and make your own mind up, including this one.

I have no agenda against Freemasons.
I believe that humankind is destined to face the wrath of God and the only way a person can be saved from the coming wrath is by faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, and that is a free gift of God, not something we can earn.
And when you do accept and follow Jesus as Lord of your life, He tells us that the Holy Spirit will indwell us and ‘ will guide us into all truth’ (John 16:13) and ‘the truth will set you free’. (John 8:32)
