    I went through an interesting time in college. While searching for the true Faith I was also preparing to become an apprentice in the Pittsburgh Freemason Lodge. I was wrestling on going through with it and after the Lord guided me to the right path, I had cancelled my initiation 1 day before it was supposed to happen. Forever thankful that the Lord protected me and put Orthodoxy in my life at the same time Satan was attempting to steal me. Glory to God ☦️

    The American Scottish rite was founded in 1801 in Charleston, South Carolina, by a group of 11 men, 5 of whom were sephardic jews. These men were prominent in the slave trade and would later found the Southern secessionist movement in the same city decades later. South Carolina would be the first state to secede upon the election of Abraham Lincoln as President of the United States in 1860, kicking off the civil war. Sephardic jews were prominent in the Confederate intelligentsia and government, with Judah P Benjamin (Confederate secretary of war, secretary of finance, and attorney general) being the first jew to hold a cabinet position in North America. Charles Moise, a self-described “southerner of jewish persuasion” assisted Confederate politician, William Porcher Miles, in designing the Confederate battle flag. Moise specifically suggested that Miles make the flag look “less Christian” compared to his earliest designs. Near the war’s end, Lincoln would be assassinated by famous actor and freemason, John Wilkes Booth, while his Presidency would be handed over to another freemason by the name of Andrew Johnson. Scottish rite freemasonry would see continued representation in American political office, particularly in the administrations of Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman.

    I was a Master Mason and a Royal Arch mason, involved in Rosicrucianism and such. I discovered Orthodoxy because of Freemasonry. We had a painting in the lodge I found fascinating "The ladder of Divine Scent". I researched about the painting at home, and that's how I found Orthodoxy. I resigned and I was baptised 2 years ago. Freemasonry looks like a charity for the average Freemason, but if you spend countless of unpaid hours working for the craft and show interest in spirituality, is when they start to invite you to other Lodges that are invite only and very isolated. There is where you find more weird stuff and even Crowley followers, especially if you are invited in Rosicrucian circles.

    I was sadly a Freemason for a period of time and thank God I left them. I only stayed in until I was a Master Mason (3°), but I encountered a lot of weirdos that were way into the occult and other demonic practices. There were quite a few brothers in my lodge that openly stated to me that Masonry was their religion. Once I began inquiring into Orthodoxy I got out ASAP. It's definitely a form of a cult that masquerades as a social club.

      Occultism is a vague word that covers a lot of areas. Occultism is more attractive when it's presented under the banner of "Sacred Teachings" -- which of course is heavily detailed through symbolism.
      So the attraction is ancient teachings and symbols, along with gematria, which also reveals hidden codes behind everything. So using ciphers and learning to write in code is another part of the attraction.
      All new age kind of practices make people believe they are "gods" and this leads to thinking that you are Wise and Initiated, while all the people going to church are merely children in kindergarten, not understanding the symbols and codes behind everything. It's demonic and it makes you think anyone without your sacred teachings is beneath you.
      Masonry doesn't get into practices as much as Rosicrucianism does, so it's very common for Past Master Masons to become Rosicrucians to practice the occult arts. Not to say that Masons can't be practicing alchemists, but that's a rare thing in today's world.

    I am currently 23 and was heavily active in the Lodge immediately after my 18th birthday. I made my way through the chairs fairly rapidly and advanced through the degrees headstrong - not fully knowing what I was getting into. It wasn’t until last year and discovering Christ and His Church that I was saved from that wretchedness. It is an easy trap for a young man to fall into, and while appearing harmless, is absolutely detrimental to your soul. The Devil masquerades an an angel of “Light,” and what is it that Masons seek again? I pray for all of the men - who through ignorance know no better - that are active in the Lodge that Christ might rescue them as He did me. Lord have mercy! ☦️

      Freemasonry is pervasive in any western democracy, specifically because Freemasonry was a major leader in the creation of western democracies. Basically all those attributes of the modern world that we regard as more humane than what came before are indebted, in large part, to Masonry.
      Ironically, most religious denominations are hopelessly dependent for their very survival on the liberal principles promoted by Masonry. Christianity, having splintered into a thousand feuding factions needed to appeal to the secularists for protection against other denominations. Each of them, having started a nasty fight for leadership, became unable to finish what they started and unwilling to accept the consequences of their behavior. It's hilarious to watch them now complain as though they didn't do it to themselves.

    I was involved in the AODA (ancient order of druids in America) which is a masonic druid organization, thanks to John Michael Greer. I was under the impression that it was all good up until I was virtually dismissed in my assessments of the world because of my status, and ultimately sensed that I was not welcome in the least bit, popping bubbles like a devils advocate I was, talking about the bible and economics, and then watching their reactions. I was a punk at heart and I did not fall in line with their demands or beliefs, they were warned. I see the world crumbling and see what's going wrong but we were not at all on the same page. Thank God I had that experience before I explored Orthodoxy and thank you for sharing this, this helps explain that hostility I felt.

      Though clandestine in terms of what the “regular masons” will say. It likely means that your group held very similar philosophical views and held an initiation that is very similar to the Freemasonic traditions. It makes sense because most occult organizations use the same degree systems with the challenges at the lodge doors and the back and forth discussions as a way to teach their lesson for new initiates. It’s an experiential initiation that leaves a lasting impression on most people.

Period. And if they then refuse to abandon that demonic organization, it is in fact their egos being somewhat involved as well as outright disobedience. The fact that true Christians can be deceived about it and still be true Christians, which they absolutely can, doesn't mean they would continue in it if they were where they really needed to be with God because if they were, God would be showing them the whole problem with it. Let's not exacerbate the problem by pretending God doesn't bring what's evil to the limelight here. Or act shocked when He has and people speak up about what God has personally shown them in their prayer life.

I was on my way to being a Christian and it was confusing to me how these 2 third position people hated Christianity so much when it seemed to be a perfect fit for uniting people under one banner.
    Later I learned that the pagans and masons hated Christianity and discovered that their ideas would just lead to the same atrocities I was attempting to avoid.

It was also very family-orient ed. Then they ask him to commit and immoral act. 😡 I remember my father being sort of pale and he was tanned at the time for a couple of days or three or four. I found it later years but he went to his pastor and repented of the involvement and they prayed and he left the Masonic lodge and we moved quickly. Out of South Florida to North Florida.

    Thank you, father. I have a sort of question related to this; it’s about a friend who recently found Holy Orthodoxy, him and his family were catechumens for about a year in a small mission parish belonging to a canonical jurisdiction, and were then baptized during this year’s great lent. Since his first visit to the parish, he told me about where the mission is located and that sort of information, which is at the home of one of the founders who contacted the diocesan cathedral to solicitate the foundation of an Orthodox mission in his city and who remains until this day as a member of the Church alongside his family. All of this seemed great to me until he informed me more about the members of the parish, particularly about said founding member and ahis friend, both openly masons, even distinguished members of the local lodge, with all sorts of distinctively masonic symbols alongside figures/idols of different far-eastern religions, this same house has an improvised chapel at the top floor to celebrate the monthly divine liturgy. Now, inside the chapel proper there are no weird symbols or idols (except for a “host-holder” like the ones in the RCC), but he's still creeped out by the fact that there are elements of such different worlds under the same roof and fears that the mason has bad intentions (which I wouldn’t doubt).
    So, trying to help, I advised him to speak directly to his priest, and after that he told me that the father said before anything else that masonry has nothing to do with the Church, and that it’s something this guy (the mason) keeps to himself, that even the father’s objective is for him to renounce masonry through the life of the Church.
    My friend’s a little comforted by the plans the priest has shared with all the parishioners, which is to build an official chapel at a different location in the same city due to the mission’s growth. Nonetheless, by the passing of time this situation has taken its toll on him, he no longer knows what to do, especially because going to another parish isn’t an option since he lives in a Latin American country with very little Orthodox presence and doesn’t want his family and him to stop receiving the holy mysteries.
    Finally, I too don’t know what else to do to help him, and I can especially understand his struggle because it was also very hard for me to find a Church when coming into Orthodoxy. Nor do I know if suggesting a talk with his bishop would be beneficial, after all, the bishop must have known about this situation for years now and doesn’t seem to have bothered him. ¿What would you advise, father?

      Tolerance for the gnostics in our midst will never call down the blessings of our Lord upon our works.
      Jezebel and her fornications with idols was severely rejected by our Lord in the Revelation.
      SO: one cannot remain “at peace” with this. He must pray fervently, ask God for discernment and take steps - with care - to root it out.
      The bishop is responsible ultimately and if he can speak to him and do his due diligence in this way, this will be, for him, a great defense at the Judgement Seat.

    gnosis (-g·no·sis): From Greek γνῶσις. Knowledge.
    The higher meaning of Gnosis is knowledge from experience, especially experience of divinity or that which is beyond the five senses. The word Gnosis does not refer to knowledge that we are told or believe in. Gnosis is conscious, experiential knowledge, not merely intellectual or conceptual knowledge, belief, or theory. This term is synonymous with the Hebrew דעת "da'ath," the Arabic ma'rifah, the Tibetan rigpa (knowing), and the Sanskrit "jna."
    Gnosis can also refer to the tradition that embodies the core wisdom or knowledge of humanity, although in the physical world it has not been known by that name, but instead has adopted varying appearances according to culture, time, and place.
    The Greek word Gnosis (γνῶσις) implies a type of knowledge that is derived from experience, and encompasses the whole of a person. That is, it is genuine knowledge of the truth. Reality, truth, does not fit neatly into a concept, dogma, or theory, thus genuine Gnosis must also be something that one must experience. Personal experience is not transmissible in conceptual terms; a concept is merely an idea, and experience is far more than an idea. In other words, real Gnosis is an experience that defies conceptualization, belief, or any attempt to convey it. To understand it, one must experience it. This is why real spirituality is based on one's own effort to experience the truth, and the method to reach that experience is primarily practical.
    Nonetheless, in order to understand what we experience, we must study the experiences of others. For this, we prefer to rely on those who have proven the qualities we wish to embody ourselves: profound love for all beings, brilliant intelligence, and radiant joy. As such, we rely on the greatest human beings and their legacies, in every field of understanding: philosophy, science, art, and religion.
    The Greek word Gnosis refers to the knowledge acquired through the experience of the awakened consciousness, as opposed to knowledge that we are told or might believe. Genuine Gnosis is the knowledge universal to all humanity that frees the consciousness from suffering. Gnosis - by whatever name in history or culture - is conscious, experiential knowledge, not merely intellectual or conceptual knowledge, belief or theory. The Gnostic student seeks to acquire their own direct experience of the light (the Truth) by means of awakening the consciousness and eliminating obscurations to perception. The method to accomplish this task has been called:
    Gnosis (Greek) knowledge
    Jnana (Sanskrit): knowledge
    Daath (Hebrew): knowledge
    Dharma (Sanskrit): righteousness, law, truth, teaching
    Torah (Hebrew): teaching, instruction, law
    ...and many other names. By comparing all of these ancient teachings, we can see that all religious forms have in their heart a science of Gnosis: a method to arrive at personal knowledge of the Truth.
    Whenever the Law declines and the purpose of life is forgotten, I manifest myself on earth. I am born in every age to protect the good, to destroy evil, and to re-establish the Law. -Hinduism. Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita 4.7-8
    Think not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the law until all is accomplished. -Christianity. Jesus in the Bible, Matthew 5.17-18
    Lo! We inspired you [O Muhammad] as We inspired Noah and the prophets after him, as We inspired Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes, and Jesus and Job and Jonah and Aaron and Solomon, and as we imparted unto David the Psalms; and messengers We have mentioned to you before and messengers We have not mentioned to you... messengers of good cheer and of warning, in order that mankind might have no argument against God after the messengers. God was ever Mighty, Wise. -Islam. Qur'an 4.163-65
    Naught is said unto you [Muhammad] save what was said unto the messengers before you. -Islam. Qur'an 41.43
    I have seen an ancient Path, an ancient road traversed by the rightly enlightened ones of former times. -Buddhism. Samyutta Nikaya ii.106
    The Master said, "I have transmitted what was taught to me without making up anything of my own. I have been faithful to and loved the Ancients." -Confucianism. Analects 7.1
    "All religions have the same principles. Under the sun, every religion is born, grows, develops, multiplies into many sects, and dies. This is how it has always been and will always be. Religious principles never die. The religious forms can die, but the religious principles, in other words, the eternal values, can never die. They continue; they are re-dressed with new forms." - Samael Aun Weor

    My grandfather, who I never met, was a Mason (I believe 33 degree). He passed away about 10 years before I was born. My mother only knows because they were at his wake. It’s odd, because he was a Roman Catholic, and I know membership is a no-no in Catholicism (I’ve since learned more about Masonic involvement with high ranking Vatican officials who were Masons, which may have a lot to do with thing such as the modern mass and papal infallibility). My family left the Catholic Church when I was 15, joining a local Protestant church (an offshoot of the Plymouth Brethren). I left the church in my early 20s, spent almost a decade as an atheist, then agnostic, and for a minute a gnostic. I finally got back on track in my 30s. Over the last few years, I’ve considered joining a lodge; I love esoteric symbolism and even ritual, something that is lacking, imho, in most Protestant churches (along with the moving away from the foundations of Christianity in those churches, again imho). Over the last year or so, I’ve felt more and more pulled towards Orthodoxy; the more I learn, the more I become interested, and excited, something that hasn’t happened to me through a Christian church since I was a teenager. I have put aside the notion of joining a lodge and am pursuing joining a church; I just have to find the one that feels right for me. With all of that said- what is it, specifically in doctrine, that makes becoming a Mason incompatible with Christianity, and in particular Orthodoxy?

      If you are a Christian, you know that going to church and praying before meals is not what makes a Christian. What makes a Christian ? It’s the belief that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation which is the only path to heaven. All other beliefs lead to hell. This is the standard minimum test of Christianity.
      As you have already said, the lodge accepts all faiths, just a belief in any deity is required. French Freemasonry allows atheists as well.
      As you have also said, the
      Lodge opens and closes in prayer. In your example the lodge prays to The Great Architect of the Universe AkA anyone you like.
      Now try to go to lodge opening and closing lodge with a prayer in the name of Jesus.
      You will find this is a violation of you lodge charter.
      So if the Bible says that those who pray to god and do not acknowledge Jesus, are praying to demons, what does that say about freemasonry?

    It is mind boggling that such misinformation about Freemasonry is still sprouted - and in this instance by a fellow member of the clergy . Have his church removed the texts of not spreading false witness that I find in my own - and every other bible ? I am a member of the clergy myself and I stand ashamed at this misrepresentation.
    Every candidate to Freemasonry is clearly, and expressly instructed to "follow the dictates of your own religion, for therein will you find the obligations that you owe to God, your neighbour and yourself" The initiation manuals with this text are freely available on the internet, in any of the more than 40 masonic museums spread over the world, or in rituals commonly available (Amazon at $8)
    In my own lodge we have Anglicans, Dutch Reformed, Catholic, Liberal Catholics, a Hindu pharmacist, a Russian orthodox attorney - as a typical example. Does this sound like a satanist gnostic group ? - and by the way - "Satanist-Gnostic" is a macabre contradiction of terms - like dry water, or forward reversing - what in logic's name does it mean ?
    Freemasonry is not a religion, does not aim to be an alternative or a substitute for a religion, it has no saviour, profess no religious dogma except for sound morals derived from the Bible itself, (and to be found in the Holy Scriptures of all other religions), it has no liturgy, do not allow religion to be discussed at its meetings but is a pure philosophy aimed at moral, ethical and personal growth, It is a philosophy veiled in Allegory (or parable _ and clothed in symbol. In the New Testament it is said of Jesus, : " He taught in parables, and without parables taught he nothing"
    It is so sad that those not properly educated in Hermeneutics , i.e. the interpretation of documents, ancient and world history and philosophy , ignorance lead to such misrepresentation.
    American and Anglo-Saxon Freemasonry's slogan is "to make good men better" and that of the Continental variety of the various Masonic Grand councils, "For the Improvement of humanity: or "To build a temple for humanity" That is achieved by the individual Mason homing himself as a perfect building block for the temple, or society
    The Satanic hoax, perpetrated by Leo Taxil - an expelled Freemason, has been made public, by Taxil's own admission more than 140 years ago ( Google "The Taxil hoax" for yourself ) - yet the uninformed, the unscrupulous fundamentalist, and especially those of authoritarian ilk, keep perpetuating the story

      www.amazon.com/Masons-Their-Lies-Every-Christian/dp/1986325474
      On The Masons And Their Lies: What Every Christian Needs To Know (Spiritual Warfare)
      Shatter your preconceptions and brace yourself for the shocking truth behind one of the world's most mysterious institutions.
      Written by a leading expert in the field, this gripping and insightful book delves into the history and mysteries of the Masonic fraternity - pulling back the veil and revealing the secrets that have been kept from the public for centuries. As an ex-Freemason himself, the author of On The Masons And Their Lies exposes the Lodge's deceptions and hidden agendas from an Orthodox Christian perspective.
      By the time you're done reading this book, you'll know far more about Freemasonry than most of its own members do...and if you're a Christian buying this for someone you love, it just might be exactly what he needs to be saved from grave sin and error.

Because the FIRST requirement for membership of Freemasonry, is to have, as the central figure in one's life, a supreme being that created the universe. Satan, did not create the universe and not even Satanists believe he did. Therefore, Freemasonry CANNOT be Satanic.

    It's significant to distinguish between the way Masonry and Rosicrusianism understand masculine and feminine, and the way the Church does. Because one might think the rosy cross is essentially an affirmation of the natural sexual order, but it is not. The Gnostic heresy is opposed to the natural order of male and female, created in God's image to share a single nature in separate persons and together generating the child of like nature in a threefold family unit. Instead the twofold combination of the masculine and feminine elements in the rosy cross expresses a unitary divine androgynous state, where one being has equal amounts of both, and hence transcends the need for relationship with the other to achieve wholeness, and also dispenses with fertility and reproduction as sinful aspects of the material world.

    Another checkmark on why I know Christianity is real. This is the exact opposite of what we want but they are still obsessed with men from the Bible and baphomet. This cult created by Satan just reaffirms my belief in Jesus Christ. I can see Jesus even in this, I know he is real based on the fact something evil like this exists. Following him is the true path to salvation.

    It is the spirit that gives life, while the flesh is of no avail. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and life.

      Hence what Gnostics emphasized, why they worshiped Christ and not the evil “God”.

      Saint John 5:19-30
      Jesus answered and said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, a son cannot do anything on his own, but only what he sees his father doing; for what he does, his son will do also.
      For the Father loves his Son and shows him everything that he himself does, and he will show him greater works than these, so that you may be amazed.
      For just as the Father raises the dead and gives life, so also does the Son give life to whomever he wishes.
      Nor does the Father judge anyone, but he has given all judgment* to his Son,
      so that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.
      Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes in the one who sent me has eternal life and will not come to condemnation, but has passed from death to life.
      Amen, amen, I say to you, the hour is coming and is now here when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.
      For just as the Father has life in himself, so also he gave to his Son the possession of life in himself.
      And he gave him power to exercise judgment, because he is the Son of Man.
      Do not be amazed at this, because the hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voices
      and will come out, those who have done good deeds to the resurrection of life, but those who have done wicked deeds to the resurrection of condemnation.
      “I cannot do anything on my own; I judge as I hear, and my judgment is just, because I do not seek my own will but the will of the one who sent me.
