    IMMORALS AND DOGMA

    Albert Pike, the Grand Commander of the Scottish Rite from 1859 to 1891, is one of the most honored and influential American Freemasons of all time. The Supreme Council exalts Pike by saying:

    "Albert Pike remains today an inspiration for Masons everywhere. His great book Morals and Dogma endures as the most complete exposition of Scottish Rite philosophy. He will always be remembered and revered as the Master Builder of the Scottish Rite." (The House of the Temple of the Supreme Council 1988)

    A few brief quotes from this honored Masonic book, Morals and Dogma, expose the Anti-christ nature of Freemasonry.

    THE BIBLE IS A FALSE BOOK MADE FOR IGNORANT PEOPLE

    "The doctrines of the Bible are often not clothed in the language of strict truth, but in that which

    was fittest to convey to a rude and ignorant people the practical essentials of the doctrine." (Morals and Dogma, p.224), [Albert Pike, Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, (1871 L. H. Jenkins Inc.]

    FREEMASONRY IS A RELIGION

    "Every Masonic Lodge is a temple of religion; and its teachings are instruction in religion." (Morals and Dogma, p.213)

    FREEMASONRY IS INTENDED TO BE THE UNIVERSAL RELIGION

    "It is the universal, eternal, immutable religion, such as God planted it in the heart of universal humanity." (Morals and Dogma, p.219)

    "Masonry is a worship; but one in which all civilized men can unite;" (Morals and Dogma, p.526)

    FREEMASONRY DECEIVES ITS FELLOW MASONS ABOUT THE REAL TEACHINGS OF FREEMASONRY

    "The Blue Degrees are but the outer court or portico of the Temple. Part of the symbols are displayed there to the Initiate, but he is intentionally misled by false interpretations. It is not intended that he shall understand them; but it is intended that he shall imagine he understands them. Their true explication is reserved for the Adepts, the Princes of Masonry." (Morals and Dogma, p.819)

    JESUS IS NO BETTER THAN OTHER GODS

    "It reverences all the great reformers. It sees in Moses, the Lawgiver of the Jesus, inConfucius and Zoroaster, in Jesus of Nazareth, and in the Arabian Iconoclast, Great Teachers of Morality, and Eminent Reformers, if no more:" (Morals and Dogma, p.525)

    WHAT DOES PIKE SAY ABOUT CHRISTIANS?

    "The God of nineteen-twentieths of the Christian world is only Bel, Moloch, Zeus, or at best Osiris, Mithras, or Adonai, under another name, worshipped with the old Pagan ceremonies and ritualistic formulas." (Morals and Dogma, p.295-296)

    BUDDHA WAS THE FIRST MASONIC LEGISLATOR

    "The first Masonic Legislator whose memory is preserved to us by history, was Buddha,..(Morals and Dogma, p.277)

    THE BIBLE IS A PIECE OF FURNITURE AND CAN BE EASILY REPLACED BY OTHER BOOKS

    "The Bible is an indispensable part of the furniture of a Christian Lodge, only because it is the sacred book of the Christian religion. The Hebrew Pentateuch in a Hebrew Lodge, and the Koran in a Mohammedan one, belong on the altar; and one of these, and the Square and Compass, properly understood, are the Great Lights by which a Mason must walk and work. (Morals and Dogma, p.11)

    WHERE DOES THE MASONIC SEARCH FOR LIGHT LEAD YOU?

    "Masonry is a search after Light. That search leads us directly back, as you see, to the Kabalah." (Morals and Dogma, p.741)

    WHAT IS THE KABALAH?

    The Kabalah,a Jewish Occult book, is a "Jewish mystical tradition teaching Godhood to Man. Foundation of most post-Egyptian, Western magical systems." (The Magicians Dictionary, p.208, [E.E. Rehmus, 1990 Feral House]

    THE KABALAH SAYS THAT GOD IS AN "OCCULT LIGHT"

    "To conceive of God as an actuality, and not as a mere nonsubstance or name, which involved non-existence, the Kabala, like the Egyptians, imagined Him to be 'a most occult Light,'"..(Morals and Dogma, p.740)

    LUCIFER SUPPLIES THE LIGHT OF FREEMASONRY

    "Lucifer, the Light-bearer! Strange and mysterious name to give to the Spirit of Darkness! Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Is it he who bears the Light, and with its splendors intolerable blinds feeble, sensual, or selfish Souls? Doubt it not!" (Morals and Dogma, p.321)

    ALBERT PIKE, THE GRAND COMMANDER AND "MASTER BUILDER" OF THE SCOTTISH RITE, WORSHIPED LUCIFER, THE TRUE GOD OF FREEMASONRY

    On July 14, 1889 Albert Pike issued instructions to the twenty-three Supreme Councils that gave a full exposition of his doctrines and beliefs. Pike stated:

    "That which we must say to the crowd is - We worship a God, but it is the God that one adores without superstition.

    To you Sovereign Grand Inspectors General, we say this, that you may repeat it to the Brethren of the 32nd, 31st and 30th degrees - The Masonic religion should be, by all of us initiates of the high degrees, maintained in the purity of the Luciferian doctrine....Yes, Lucifer is God, and unfortunately Adonay is also God." (Occult Theocrasy, p.220-221), [Edith Starr Miller, The Christian Book Club of America]

    The quotes thoroughly reveal Albert Pike to be an instrument of Satan in direct opposition to the preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God. Freemasonry is shown to be an Anti-christ organization that blasphemes the Word of God and Jesus Christ and points men toward the occult light of Lucifer. Just as Pike stated, Freemasonry strives to deceive Masons as to the true intent of Freemasonry. ALL Freemasons are not evil, but rather,

    FREEMASONRY IS AN ORGANIZATION THAT DECEIVES GOOD MEN.

    Now that you know the truth -- Renounce this great Evil.. If you have been involved with Freemasonry and wish to repent; Ask God to forgive you and renounce all ties with Freemasonry.

    {17}Wherefore Come out from among them, and be ye seperate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
    II Corinthians 6:17 (KJV)

    {10}Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
    James 4:10 (KJV)

    {37}All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
    John 6:37 (KJV)

    {6}Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
    John 14:6 (KJV)

    {9}That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.{10}For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
    Romans 10:9-10 (KJV)

    {17}..where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
    IICorinthians 3:17 (KJV)

    So he was so secretive about his membership that he plastered Egyptian symbols all over his publications??

    OK fair enough.

    So then here's the next question:

    Why would a non-mason plaster masonic/egyptian symbols all over his publications?

    Russell was facinated with the discoveries of the day and bought into the baloney about Joseph being the architect of the great pyramid. He felt that the 'sun' of Egypt was mentioned in the Bible and quoted it in support of his using the solar sign. He used the iconography consistantly with these beliefs. The icons are not the property of the Masons. The early Masons (not the modern fraternity) adopted these symbols precisely because they also felt they had a connection to Egypt. The modern fraternity is a shell of the political/intellectual Masons and so have continued the use of the symbols as a touch of intrigue and ceremony.
