There's news about the return of the Satan’s Choice MC in Oshawa but before I comment on that I'd like to make a clarification. Dan Dicks did another hit piece on Freemasonry and I'm going to have to say I respectfully disagree.
We can do that you know. Disagree respectfully. I disagree with Sheryl Crow about gun control but that doesn't mean I'm going to cancel her. There are many other things I agree with her on and she is a good person.
Likewise Dan Dicks is a good person. He's pretty much the only other independent media outlet out there. Rebel News spins for Mossad and True North spins for Stephen Harper. Dan Dicks supported Trump like I did but he's not afraid to speak out when Trump does something ridiculous.
The topic in question is about how Trump is resurrecting the statue of Albert Pike that was torn down during the George Floyd riots. Pike was a Confederate General. In my opinion the primary fact is that he was a Confederate General during the American civil war. He fought for slavery not against it. He also happened to be a Freemason.
Dan Dick's hit piece misses the point and focuses exclusively on Freemasonry, not the fact that he was a Confederate General.
Before I get into his comments on Freemasonry or more specifically Albert Pike's own interpretation of Freemasonry, I'd like to point out the obvious. Freemasons, just like Catholics, Protestants and every other religion have the freedom to choose. During World War I and II there were Christians on both sides of the conflict. That's one of the reasons Jehovah's witnesses don't go to war. They don't want to go to war with members of their own religion. Likewise in the American civil war, there were Freemasons on both sides of the conflict.
A lot of conspiracy theorists love to hate on the Masons because they're such an easy target. Shriners are Freemasons. You know, those old guys at the circus who volunteer their time and raise money for Children's Hospitals.
George Washington and Ben Franklin were Freemasons as were most of the founding fathers. Freemasons support freedom. My grandfather was a Freemason and so was I.
I became a Master Mason in Surrey and a Royal Arch Mason in Langley. I never made it to the highest degree in the Scottish or York rite but I do have a first hand knowledge of the masonic rituals. All these expert haters don't. I have since fallen behind in dues and am no longer a member in good standing.
Yet I have kept my Masonic oaths and and I stand by the order because it teaches men to be good and to do good. Dan Dicks did quote from a book written by Albert Pike so Dan's comments have more credibility than the other haters who just quote other haters. However, if a Christian writes a book about Christianity, that Christian is not the author of Christianity.
If a Christian writes a book about Christianity they are simply expressing their opinion about their interpretation of Christianity. Likewise Albert Pike is not the author of Freemasonry. Any books he has written about the subject simply contain his interpretation of the ritual which was created long before him.
Let's remember that Freemasons make an oath to keep their sacred rituals secret. So no member in good standing is going to write a book about the Masonic rituals. Whenever a member in good standing speaks about the rituals they are expressing their opinion about their interpretation of the rituals.
Dan thinks because he's read this book about one man's interpretation of the rituals he knows everything about Freemasonry without every having been through any of the rituals. Does he know the name of the highest degree in the York rite of Freemasonry? That is not Satanism.
We all know the Masonic symbol. A square and a compass with the letter G in the middle. G stands for God not Lucifer. That is what the symbol means to me and that is what the symbol meant to my grandfather. It's like telling a Christian their cross represents Satan. No it doesn't. It represents God.
Masonry comes from Solomon's Temple so according to Dan Dicks Solomon's temple worshiped the Devil. That is false.
Dan starts of with a rather deceptive logical progression. He quotes a line in the book that states Freemasons search after the light. Now who is the light of the world? The New Testament states that Jesus is the light of the world. Dan Dicks admits that Freemasons state that God is the light.
Then he jumps to a different section of the book that refers to Lucifer as the light bearer. The son of the morning. The Bible also says Lucifer was the light bearer and referred to him as the son of the morning. That doesn't mean the Bible worships the Devil. The Bible is talking about him historically.
At one time Lucifer was an angel of light BUT HE FELL and became an angel of darkness. That's when his name became Satan. I'm not going to hate and I'm not going to argue about it. I'm just going to respectfully disagree.
George Washington and Ben Franklin were Freemasons. They did not worship Lucifer. They said the same things about Mormons. They claim Mormons worship the Devil. That is ridiculous. I researched ritual magic and Satanism when I studied religion. Aleister Crowley was a Satanist high priest. Satanism states "Do what though wilt shall be the whole of the law." Satanism opposes all laws and all morals. God promotes good. Satan does not. Satan lies and deceives.
When Jesus was on earth they said he was sent from the Devil. That was false. Jesus told his apostles if they have called Master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household. Meaning if they said Jesus was sent from the Devil, they'd say the same thing about his followers. I stand as a witness that Mormons and Masons are not Satanists. This Masonic hate is a distraction from the truth.
While we're on the subject, take a look at the back of the American dollar bill. It has the all seeing eye on it which became the back of the Great Seal of the United States in 1776. That is a Masonic symbol and represents the all seeing eye of God. It doesn't represent Satan or Lucifer. To claim it does would be false. In fact, it would be a malicious lie.
The motto in Latin above the eye on the dollar bill means "He has approved out undertakings." He refers to God not Satan. I believe the founding fathers were inspired by God. So this is a Masonic symbol. George Washington and many of the founding fathers were Freemasons. None of them worshiped Lucifer. They all worshiped God and had faith in him.
The motto in Latin below the eye means a new order of the ages. Satan has twisted that motto in the last days for his alternate plan into New World Order. The new order of the ages is opposite to the UN's New World Order. The UN is trying to replace that motto with their Globalist Agenda.
Before Lucifer fell, when he was the morning star, he was the light bearer but God is the light, not Lucifer.
Good explanation. I was told that the G stood for Grand Architect of the Universe, but hey, you were a member and I was not, so I'm gonna take your word for it. My Grandfather was a Past Master of his Lodge in New West before he took a letter of demit. Never had a chance to talk with him about it.
ReplyDeleteThanks. God, Great Architect of the Universe, Grand Geometrician, it's all the same. G does not stand for Lucifer and Satan is not the Great Architect of the Universe. Sadly it's a dying order. These traditions go back to Solomon's Temple. It's not really that popular anymore. Kind of like religion isn't.
DeleteMy son has a very old gold pocket watch that belonged to my Grandfather. My son's middle name is after that Grandfather. The pocket watch has the Masonic symbol attached to the chain. The back of the watch is engraved from his wife who gave it to him as a gift. My son's not a Mason but I thought he should have it. It has a lot of sentimental value.
DeleteThere is nothing wrong with the writings of Alberta Pike! People tend to judge Albert Pikes work without having read all of his works!
ReplyDeletePerhaps. I haven't read them so I can't say. It was a bit strange for me to see Dan quote a line that said Freemasons search after the light. This is good. The Bible says walk in the light as God is in the light. Then to flip to another section that referred to Lucifer as the light bearer or son of the morning, one could just as easily flip to the same verse in the Bible and claim the Bible teaches people to worship Lucifer which is absolutely false.
DeleteThis is Freemasonry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initiation_ritual_(mafia)
ReplyDeleteThat entry is about the Mafia not Freemasonry. Grow up.
DeleteSupposedly my Dad was a FM ,and exmilitary .Is there any way to confirm?
ReplyDeleteDoes a ring with a blue stone mean anything ?
I understand that most don't get past 5th degree and that low levels never know what upper level(33) actually do.
I also heard George Bush Jr made 33 level after Iraq invasion.
Comment plez
The ring would have the Freemason symbol on it. They're very common. There are lots of Shiners out there who made it to the 33rd degree but that is no longer a requirement to be a shriner. Yet this whole claim that Freemasons start of worshiping God then end up worshiping Lucifer is absurd. It's a complete distraction for the loud and proud Satanists all around us. George Bush could have joined the order I have no idea. I heard he went to church too. That doesn't mean everyone at church worshiped the Devil. If you know what area your father lived in at the time you could ask members of the lodge.
DeleteLike much of life there is good and bad in most organizations, Free Masonry is no different.
ReplyDeleteYou may have not seen any of the bad in your experiences with your local lodge but that doesn't negate the organization or its members as a whole.
One of its primary functions is to look after other Masons no matter their career path.
In many vocations upper management and supervision are 80% plus FM's.
This is not hyperbole or opinion, I know and have experienced this first hand.
Over time this percentage has lessoned as it is hard to just find anyone to fill these positions at times nowadays.
It's the grand architect and you may have any god you wish.
Yes there is good and bad in all people but the rest of that is simply not true. You're not a member. You're just repeating the drunken frenzy of the mob. You know what I believe but I don't. I've heard it all before. Masons promise to keep lawful secrets. They do not promise to keep crimes of other Masons a secret. There's just too much misinformation out there for me to address. Even with Google AI. I respectfully disagree.
