BRIDEAN
I find the above web site to be unconvincing. Especially his three
statements of Mormonism that he criticizes (God is the father of
all men, man is immortal, character determines destiny). All
three of these seem to be taken out of context and it appears that
the author of this web site has an axe to grind.
In my opinion, and this relates to Bible errancy, his most powerful
attack is the following paragraph:
_____________________________________________________________
"Masonry, like all the Religions, all the Mysteries..., conceals its
secrets from all
except the Adepts and Sages, or the Elect, and uses false explanations and
misinterpretations of its symbols to mislead those who deserve only to be
mislead...Truth is not for those who are unworthy or unable to receive it,
or would
pervert it." This absolutely incredible statement means exactly what it
says;
Freemasonry misleads all people whom its Adepts determine could not accept
the
Pagan truth, even its own members. But, Pike continues, and this time he
defames
God. "So God Himself incapacitates many men ...and leads the masses away
from
the highest Truth..." This statement simultaneously defames God's Nature
and
reveals the occultic nature of Freemasonry. First, God has clearly set out
a simple Plan of Salvation that the masses could clearly understand. In
fact, God's anger is
over arrogant human pride, and it is only from these type people that God
ever hid
any spiritual truth. On the other hand, Freemasonry clearly believes the
old occultic
lie that true spiritual truth is only meant for those few who were willing
to submit to
the Mysteries, going through their many degrees to achieve "Illumination".

I'm sure all of you know that the above teaching of Masonry is actually
Biblical so the Bible itself must have an occultic origin according to the
authors own arguments.
