    It would be wrong of me to say that all Masons are Christians. There are Lodges around the world that are based in whatever religion is the base in that region. Mason's were originally began to exercise freedom of religion from the Catholic Church of the day. Much like our forefathers, who...

    I thought I was clear about who we pray too? Yes , we pray to Jesus, God, and depending on who is leading the prayer, sometimes the Holy Spirit. Not entirely certain why you are asking for a specific prayer, or the words. Most folks I know pray from what they feel, and not a written prayer...

    At every Lodge meeting I've attended around the globe, we do pray in meetings. We pray using the Holy Bible as our guide. Therefore we obviously pray to the Lord God.

    I obtained my first 3 degrees in my home Blue Lodge, then attended my local Scottish Rite for degrees 4 thru 32. After decades of being a mason I was awarded the honorary 33rd degree.

    Come on now, you're better than this. Stop Googling and do some real research! All you are doing is bringing up archaic quotes from people that have been disproven for decades. Seriously, I've read some of your other posts on this site, and you're no dummy. What you're bringing to...

    I don't have any advice about cancer at all. You'd think after the years battling it, I'd have a better answer. It just sucks. It not only sucks real bad for the person who has it, but the stress their family and friends have to deal with its just as bad. I'd love to find some of that...

    My brother, I apologize for my absence. I came down with Covid in late August and am just now getting back to normal. This new antimason is a hoot and a half aren't they? 20 years later and their still bringing in nonsense that's been refuted so many times is literally ridiculous. In...

    Don't know where you got this information, but it's highly incorrect. We speak of Jesus Christ often. From our prayers, to the Holy Bible, we speak of God and his son at every meeting. Why else would The Holy Bible sit in the center of our lodge, and is prayed over every meeting?

    First off I don't believe it too be a sin to swear an oath. I've held public office for years and swear an oath after each election. How is that different?

    Sorry, i just noticed your question. In all seriousness, he just plain stole a large part of our ritual work, our words, signs, and handshakes. I've argued with mormons over this fact for years. The one question they can't answer is that he was involved in Freemasonry years before he came...

    I serve the same God I professed to serving the first 10 times you asked and I answered in the affirmative. No secrets in Christianity or the bible? Better look that up and get back to me. You are getting very close to the end of my rope. Either continue with the guidelines we...

    I'm not retracting my position at all. I'm here to answer questions regarding Freemasonry. I've lived in both Oklahoma and Kansas all my life and have Masonic, and Shrine memberships in both states. I went to the smartest guy I knew in masonry in both states. They both agree that up until...

    I believe I've answered this question more than once. Yes I believe in the scripture you quoted.

    I use the name "Simpleman" as it fits me. I'm just a simple country boy. Plus I happen to like the song of the same name.

    I was not subtle on purpose. Humans seem to be called to the Lord at different times in life. Sometimes more than once, hence born again. The good Lord showed himself to me at 16 and I haven't looked back.
