I’ve asked myself this a number of times over the 25 years I have been studying the so-called “secret societies”.
Unfortunately I’ve had to conclude that the answer is, No !
In fact, the word itself is an oxymoron. By far the majority of practicing Masons, when asked the question; “Is Freemasonry a Christian organization?”, would answer, “Yes”, (except in the case of obvious non-Christian, or other religion affiliation). This answer proves to be false when the doctrine of Freemasonry is compared with Christian doctrine! This is indeed a sad but very real truth that can easily be verified by even the most superficial study of Scripture in this regard.
I have even had the answer from certain overly proud members; “Well, true Freemasonry embraces all religions.”
Now this statement turns out to be true, when compared to Masonic doctrine, as is clearly postulated by the likes of pioneering Masons, such as Albert Pike and Albert Mackey, both very distinguished Freemasons and both having published works of enduring significance on the subject of Freemasonry. Pike wrote his famous “Morals and Dogma” and Mackey is the author of that very well known three-volume, “Encyclopedia of Freemasonry.”
So, it proves to be indeed true that Freemasonry “embraces” all religions. What does that mean? It simply means that Freemasonry acknowledges ALL religions, accepts all of them as equal and holds none of them as the Supreme or True Religion! This is in direct violation of what God teaches us through His Word, the Holy Bible. In it He clearly states that He is the only God and there is none other. (Ex 20:3 34:14 Deut. 4:35 , 39 Dan 3:29 1Ki 8:60 Is 45:5, 6, 14, 18, 21, 22 Is 46:9 Is 47:8, 10 Joel 2:27)
Now, since Freemasonry is in DIRECT opposition to what God expresses in His Word, how on earth can Freemasonry be seen to be a “Christian Organization?” It is just too preposterous for words!
Both Pike and Mackey were 33 degree Freemasons. It has been intimated to me by masons, that the number 33 was especially chosen as part of an elaborate mockery of our Lord Jesus, as it refers to His age when He suffered on the Cross. (Revelations of what is portrayed in the 33 degree ritual, confirm this!)
Consider also the so-called “Christian degree” in Lodge, the 18th degree, also known as the “Rose Croix” (Rosy Cross). In truth, this pertains to Anti-Christ! 18 is made up of thee sixes, 666, the number of the Anti-Christ! (See Revelation 13:18).
By now, the reader should be getting some idea of just how much actual bondage is involved in operative Masonry. Freemasonry may be many things but it certainly is not free!
A further hint of this bondage can be gained from considering the circumstance that accompanies the 3rd degree initiate. He is obliged to sign a very cleverly worded certificate in full, alongside the date of his 3rd degree initiation, and this date is under the Latin worded half of his certificate. At least up until a few years ago, the date would have read, eg. September 14th 5966 AL ( The AL initials, put in the place of AD, Anno Domini or “year of our Lord” ) and meaning Anno Lucis or “Year of light” in other words, pertaining to Genesis 1 when the light came some 6000 years prior.
What the new Master Mason is not told, and let’s face it, how many men, even well educated, understand and can read Latin? For light in Latin is “Lux” and Lucifer, is “Lucis!” Therefore the newly initiated and totally deceived Mason, has signed his full name alongside that of Lucifer! (See Isaiah Ch.14:12 ( King James Bibles only ). NB, “Lucifer” means “ light bearer “. Diabolically clever stuff, and straight from the pit!
Please pray with us for the many thousands of good men that have been caught into bondage by this diabolic trap of the enemy, attempting to separate them from our Lord and Saviour, and advise those friends family and loved ones you know to be Masons to come out of “Her.”

The US Government holds no one religion above others. The 1st Amendment guarantees the freedom of all religions in the US. Should Christians renounce their US citizenship? Boy Scouts of America allows Christian boys, Muslim boys, Jewish boys, Hindu boys to all be members equally. Should Christians renounce the Boy Scouts of America? I am not a Freemason, but I am an American and a Christian and your reasoning in this area is blatantly contrary to the practices of Christians in America. Seriously, should American Christians renounce citizenship because the government looks at all religions as “equals” in that they allow the free exercise thereof? So, how is it that you condemn Freemasonry for doing the same while turning a blind eye to the government that we jointly elect and support? That is hypocricy.
