I'm not a Mason but have deep respect for their work. My father-in-law and his dad were both Masons, and my wife got some of their regalia and documents after each passed. Lucifer is an aspect of Venus, and like Pan, both revered in Rome around the time of Constantine's conversion. Both were later turned into the devil. Venus in it's rising aspect is the last star (actually planet) seen at dawn before the Sun rises. Venus in it's fallen aspect is the first star seen at dusk just as the sun sets. The Hebrew word in Isaiah is roughly translated as boastful or excessive pride, and hence the use of Lucifer used in the Greek Septuagint. The Fall of Lucifer is when Venus no longer heralds the Sun. Hopefully that clarifies matters, and I haven't thrown any pearls before swine.

I am a non active Third Degree Master Mason, and I have my Masonic Blue Bible given to me when I became one, I believe that people who don't know anything about masonic lodges and what there about should keep there comments to there selves, ...

Great Valley!!

I was raised to the sublime degree of Master Mason. I served as Master twice. Once each for two different lodges. I never joined an appendant body but I did serve as District Ritual instructor for three Grand Masters in New Jersey. I haven't been active for quite some time now but still consider Masonry and my Brothers a foundation in my every day life.

I’am getting my Masonic Bible and it is very interesting that I just happen to stumble upon this KZread video channel by accident.

I'm not sure why this video popped up on my feed but, it was a good video. I received my Masonic Bible when I took my First Degree back around 1990. I eventually became a Third Degree Master Mason. Around 1995 my father and I had a falling out and that was the last time I went to a lodge meeting. A year later I was laying a sprig of Acacia on my father's casket. Years went by and 13 years ago I moved from NY to Wisconsin. I had a coworker that wanted me to join him at a lodge meeting. I discovered that I was not able to join the lodge in WI because I stopped paying my dues back in NY around 1996. Little did I know that my father had always taken care of my dues up until he passed away. I never once gave it a thought. Until the back dues were resolved from NY, the Wisconsin lodge doesn't want to know me. I made a couple of attempts to contact the lodge in NY but they never replied. At this point I feel like a banished Master Mason. You would think that if the Wisconsin lodge wanted me as a member that they would have done more to help resolve this situation. Either way, I will always look back at those times and remember how wonderful the brothers at that lodge were.

This is a very important explanation because it puts together different masonic bodies and different masonic teachings according to the Bible.

It seems to me re: “God is the great architect of the universe” that God never claimed to be, nor outside of Free Masonry, no one of authority ever called God the great architect of the universe. Scripture instructs us that God created the universe. Being the architect or ruler of the universe it seems to me is satan’s gig. There is a massive difference between Creator and architect. My father, stepdad, grandad, two uncles and a cousin are/were 32nd degree masons, and so with hopefully wisdom, critical thinking and research, I’m trying to discern the truth. I have no ax to grind with anyone but am troubled to hear that the name Jesus Christ was not allowed to be spoken inside the lodge. Did I understand that correct.? If so, that seems troubling for anyone professing to be a Christian.

@ScottishRiteMasons

12 күн бұрын

You lack knowledge of the history of your own faith. The term Great Architect of the Universe actually is borrowed from the Presbyterian faith. John Calvin, the great protestant theologist and Presbyterian coined the term in the 1500s. It’s fine if you don’t like masonry, but you can’t just make things up and pretend they are the truth, especially when you don’t have a basis of knowledge. It’s clear that the history of your own faith is not something you have ever studied. You may be informed into your faith, you may be at church and you may read your Bible. But you may not have necessarily looked at the actual history of Christianity.

@ronnieshearer7307

12 күн бұрын

When I wrote “seems to me”, it was a clue that I wasn’t declaring nor was I condemning. My interest is seeking the truth. If Calvin said that, so be it. God never said it. I noticed you didn’t answer my question regarding mentioning the name of Jesus inside the lodge? Just asking with no hidden agenda or malice To your critique of my knowledge of Christian history, I’ll just say, I may not know all that John Calvin wrote. Heck, I may not know all the prophecies and mysteries within scripture, but I DO KNOW it’s Author.

Great job, Maynard!!!

Good question, thanks for asking. First, when we say "degree" it is a title, not a rank (verify this in the dictionary if you wish). Second, I am a 33rd Elect, and I will tell you the 33rd degree is not really a degree like the rest of them. Our degrees, are moral and philosophical lessons. They are acted out, or conferred, like a stage play almost. BUT the KCCH (sort of the 32 1/2) and the 33rd are what we call HONORS. You don't just get those titles. They are given after you have worked in the fraternity for some time and done good things. You get elected to receive those degrees, or titles. Since you can't just show up and get them, AND they don't have a specific lesson attached, they would not either one be included in the list of regular degrees.

@widjwisb9690, A sure way of getting one is to become a Master Mason.

So if the gist of the morality plays and degrees are laid out here in basic form, what really are the "secrets" that a mason isn't supposed to talk about? Would it just be the specifics of the ritual practices, and maybe some hidden meanings that aren't obvious at first? I don't seek specific answers here, just wondering what it is that's considered secret since it doesn't seem all that controversial/spooky to me. Just seems like some ritual work that can help someone better understand themselves. Even considering what I know about allegedly "spooky" occultism, Freemasonry doesn't seem negative or ill-intented at all.

@ScottishRiteMasons

Freemasonry has no ill intent. As you mention, we have some private initiatory ceremonies, but all of what Masonry teaches can be found in the Bible in some form or fashion. Originally the "secrets" were trade secrets of the working stone masons.

I am Jewish so my brethren felt it was no appropriated to give me a bible, but they had and extra copy of Mackey's Encyclopedia so they gave me that instead... Still all those study guides seem pretty cool, I would enjoy study them.

My great grandfather was a 32° and my grandfather well he never specifically stated ,However being from a very long line on both sides of my family I indeed concur there is nothing hidden that is not hidden by God himself in this video.

“You can’t copyright scripture.” True, but you _can_ copyright a specific translation of scripture. The King James Version is a bit unique in that it is in the public domain everywhere outside of Britain, in which the copyright is held by the British Crown. Most every other translation, meaning all except those that predate the King James, holds copyright protection everywhere there is copyright law. So unless you cite the King James Version outside of Britain, or cite an even older translation, or translate the scripture yourself, you have to credit the organization that produced the translation you are quoting, and follow the specific rules of the copyright on exactly how much you are allowed to republish, and in what way you can republish the translated text.

Didn’t see the article. And I am a Christian. So, can’t be too anti Christian. And one comment is we are anti Semitic. Next comment we hate Christian’s. lol.

Great video. Thanks!

How is Jesus viewed in freemasonry?

In the US Most Masons are in fact Christian. In fact globally, I would say its the predominant faith in lodges. But we welcome men of all faiths.

"because you can't copyright scripture" - FALSE ... Sorry Brother, but you got this one wrong. A lot of Bible Translations are copyrighted, and the text follows normal copyright laws like any other work. The King James Version is in Public Domain because of how long ago it was produced, in every country except the United Kingdom where it holds a distinction of being the only book remaining in perpetual copyright which is owned by the Crown. So, even this version of the text actually is copyrighted in the UK, but not here in the US.

I can’t speak to the UK. But I have some considerable knowledge of copyright law as it pertains to public domain and I’ll tell you no court in the US would even take a case regarding a translation of scripture unless that scripture or the translation was in some form or fashion fundamentally different. At the end of the day, there are only so many ways to say “let there be light”. But I supposed there’s always some one who will try. Lol. Good point to mention tho.

@@ScottishRiteMasons I think you should look into this. How do you think the good people who have done the various translations like the NIV, ESV, NASB, fund their work? There is a huge amount of scholarship and hard work that goes into a translation - it isn't just a choice of words, but examining the manuscripts and maintaining consistency across one of the largest text projects most people would ever work on. They get paid royalties by the companies that print Bibles, and if anyone tried to print an NIV or an NRSV without obtaining licensing, you can bet they would get sued! You can't just lift someone else's gargantuan effort and slap your own name on it - that's a hugely immoral act of theft. Yes, courts would most certainly handle this! As an example, the NIV's licensing says "The NIV text may be quoted in any form (written, visual, electronic or audio), up to and inclusive of five hundred (500) verses without express written permission of the publisher, providing the verses do not amount to a complete book of the Bible nor do the verses quoted account for twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the total text of the work in which they are quoted."

If I may ask, what is the mission or purpose of Today's Masons? The only things that are ever mentioned are the rites, deceptive practices and all of the suspicions that rise out of ignorance. Were the original Masons craft-men? or Compass and Rulers simply symbolic of order and rectitud in one's orientation?

To the first question... the main purpose seems to be the fraternity... but there are people that like a lot the charity work, there are also the ones that like the history of the organization... some guys behave like college frats... So I would say... there are many different activities that you can do inside the fraternity... it is one of those things that is basically up to you... I even hear that there are some guys that join just to wear the ring... About the question if the original masons where actual craftsmen... that is the general explanation about the origins of the fraternity. The symbolic part of the working tools is a part of the teachings... I don't really know who started with such concept, but in some cases seems to be ancient, for example in the bible there is a verse about a plumb-line to represent rectitude. So that tells me that this idea of using construction tools for moral teachings is very old.

When man thinks of his own mortality, he starts to change and looks for meaning in his life. Take a moment and think about writing out your own will and tell me you don't think a little differently. I believe what changes a person to live life with the understanding they won't live forever can be a positive thing but we can agree to disagree.@@luminawarren8132

​@@jh6966I wanted to ask a question whether or not a Buddhist can become a freemason or not?

Hmm My bible was just for Blue Lodge. No Scottish or York Rite pages. And I paid for the larger bible but received a bible normal sized like in this video. I did not know till later the dues went toward the larger size bible till a few months later. Told my lodge to put the difference toward the regalia funds. Normal size VS larger size was about $95.

I've got the same one

Why is it necessary to be secretive if mason dont do things to manipulate or wrong eople?

I was recently Raised and was presented with a very nice family style Bible and had my Brothers and visitors signed my Bible and I authenticated my Bible meaning I went through it and can say it is a complete and in some ways very much more so helpful with those study guild infos. It has everything a regular or non Masonic Bible has. It is a Real Bible👍🏽🔥🙏🏽

@ScottishRiteMasons Most definitely! I plan on joining SR, and getting the RA degree since I've heard from multiple people that they wish all master masons would at least receive that degree from the YR. I also hope to join the Shrine one day also. I'm can already tell that I'm going to be what one brother at the lodge calls a Mason-a-holic 😁. However I will keep my cable tow in mind and avoid burnout. I love Freemasonry too much for it to become a chore for me.

HOW Can I be come freemason

can someone who's fallen from masonic grace by doing crimes,jail,prison terms be reinstated????

That’s up to the Grand Lodge in your area.

Bro Maynard, thank you for that tour of the front of the Masonic Bible. I have had one for several years (my daughter bought it for me one Christmas) but did not realize all that information was included with it. All that aside, if people are upset with you for not sharing that part of the Bible, they are missing the point of what you were trying to present. Which is the Bible is the Holy word of God and was written by men from that inspired word. I guess if you don't show the family tree section of a non-Masonic Bible you're hiding something? I just don't get people sometimes!

Why??? It's a fraternity based on secrets.

A video titled “why christian’s shouldn’t be masons” by word of faith fellowship popped up in my feed… I’d already skim watched your video here and knew better than what the man in said video was saying. Saying words like demonic, etc. I don’t think I have to say much else on that matter; except: The comments are turned off for some reason! Just re-watched and liked this to confirm that for some reason people-religious or otherwise-blatantly lie about masons/masonic way of life. I’m not a mason. I don’t belong to a religion. I don’t regularly attend church. I believe in a God. I read the Bible. I plan to read the Koran etc. Thanks for the facts…with evidence.
