Freemasonry
"What
we are saying is this - Freemasonry at its core is not a Christian organization.
There are many Christians who have left Freemasonry after discovering what it is
truly all about..." What is Free Masonry and what do Free Masons believe?

"For the vast majority of Masons, Freemasonry is a lifelong succession of deceptions. Most Lodge leaders do not realize that they are deceiving their members. For the most part, they are simply reciting the same things they have heard and said, over and over, assuming that they are right and good. However, the Princes and Adepts of Freemasonry deliberately deceive the Masons under them. (See Tom C. McKenney, "Please Tell Me...Questions People Ask About Freemasonry -- and the Answers," pages 123-133.)..." full text: Freemasons: Roots & Links to the Occult http://www.crossroad.to/articles2/006/freemasons.htm
Freemasonry and the Christian: "Recently the largest Protestant denomination
has ruled that membership in the Lodge is up to one's individual conscience.
This position is contrary
to a traditional Christian view of Freemasonry. Freemasonry is a fraternal order
that advocates development of virtue and character among its members, as the
authors can attest through their own past membership in it. The soteriology of
Freemasonry is strongly antibiblical, as several of its teachings
indicate--teachings associated with the Lambskin Apron, how to prepare for
heaven, the Perfect Ashlar, the Common Gavel, and how to live a worthwhile life.
Christian membership in the Lodge is, therefore, impossible to justify in light
of Scriptural teachings."--Eddy D. Field II and Eddy D. Field III [This article
