Nice thread! I have done a lot of research on freemasonry,as well as the templars. (i am not a mason) what you say is true,and if anything,a lot of the rituals are based around the old testament teachings! I myself have started/responded to threads on the history,and actual meanings of the words(not names!) lucifer and satan,and have had all kinds of 'barstool prophets' put their 2 bits in,and more often than not,with hysterical rebuttals!!! These same people actually think 'christ' was jesus' name!!! (greek-christos= annointed,[messiah]) What is funny is that lucifer is only mentioned once in the whole bible,in the old testament book of Isaiah! and it doesn't even refer to an 'evil devil',it speaks of the king of babylon! maybe next time we'll discuss the title/meaning of satan! peace

Really interesting and thought provoking, maybe the masons simply "believe" in God but don't serve him and instead serve satan, or maybe their beliefs are similar to that of the Yazidis of Mesopotamia who claim to have the oldest religion on earth. YazidisFantastic job of completely missing the entire point of the OP. Kudos for the willful ignorance. Truely a thumbs up situation. Maybe, just maybe, most masons believe in the very same God of the Bible and are just smart enough to know that Lucifer is a mistranslation and the continued use of that term is laughable by "religious" self proclaimed scholars. But it's very possible that you indeed serve Satan. Just sayin.

the lodges have always been a meeting place where people who are attracted to secrets gather and...after lodge go off into their smaller groups doing the same or other things.
I am not a deist or theist but I will borrow a bible verse to help illuminate the mystery of the secretists.
" if any many hath a candle doth he put in under a bushel no "
The light is held up high for all to see and be illuminated by.
This masonic light is a lie and a light of shame it is kept under wraps and not displayed or shared proudly so that all can benefit therefore it is easy to deduce there is something wrong, something that does not want to be discovered or examined.
When pressed for an answer all the mason will say is join us and find out,,,the mystery is the bait and almost no one gets out and talks about it so it must not be that good.
I rest my case.
