>Are freemasons anti christian?

Why don't you join and find out?

>>2123

No I’m pretty sure you have to believe in Divinity to even become one

>>2125

I don't want to join and regret it

>>2126

What do you mean? I thought you just had to believe in a benevolent god

Religion and secret societies will get you nowhere in life. Jesus is the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through him. Seek the truth and the truth will set you free. (john 14:6, John 8:32)

I had a man give me a tour of a lodge once when I visited for a SAR meeting.

It is an occult religion. He was clear that they perform worship in their special room with a throne, and they are expressly relativist because they recognize any faith practice as valid (Muslim, deist, Christian) and worship alongside each other.

This is unbiblical. Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father but by me." John 14:6

There are more nefarious practices as you go further down the rabbit hole.

Roman catholics are christian but teach a false gospel. John 3:16 says — “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."

Catholicism does not affirm this. In Catholicism, you are not saved by belief but by belief and sacraments.

As I understand it Catholicism doesn't permit Freemason membership.

Good zeal but missing the mark, Christianity is a religion. A better way to phrase this would be that being religious doesn't save you.

>>2123

you cant be catholic and freemason but you can join a catholic fraternal society instead: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Alliance_of_Catholic_Knights

>>2123

If you're Catholic, you can't be a Freemason. Automatic excommunication. You can, however, join the Knights of Columbus.

>"I'm thinking of becoming a freemason or catholic"

What's the difference?

>>2130

Using old testament metaphor =/= judaism

The overwhelming majority of American freemasons are devout Christians. Also its a requirement to profess belief in trinitarian Christianity in the higher degrees of the York Rite. The Scottish Rite is the weird Albert Pike stuff, but even that has changed a lot over time.

>He was clear that they perform worship in their special room with a throne

Absolutely 100% clandestine masons, meaning not in good standing with their grand lodge (state level governing body, highest authority in blue lodge masonry).

>expressly relativist because they recognize any faith practice as valid

Good luck not getting blackballed when trying to join any American lodge if you state you are anything other than a Christian. One vote, you're done.

>>2123

You'll literally worship Satan there.

The freemasons will allow members from any other religion. How else could they infiltrate and control those religions if they don't allow them to become members. Freemasonry is, simply put, a process of forming a moral inversion in the member. They twist your mind with "mysteries" until you become convinced that evil is good and vice versa.

freemason is polytheistic. They worship the whole host of heaven.
