brian,

i met you at the super bowl in tampa in january. i missed
you in new orleans at mardi gras, just a big place and our paths did not
cross. actually i saw you at the praise rally on monday night but i was back
in the crowd.
i was a 32nd degree mason and a shriner at one point in my life. growing up
i had been a demolay and even demolay dad. i was a southern baptist since i
was 8 years old. at the age of 31 i met Jesus and received the Holy Spirit
in my heart. i was truly born again!

from that day forth i was never allowed by the Holy Spirit to pay any more
masonic lodge dues. i never entered a masonic lodge again. i was kicked out
of the order because of non payment of dues. the day i received the notice
it read, "you and your family now have no more protection from any lodge on
the face of the earth". i raised my arms and shouted, "Hallelujah, my
protection is in the Lord Jesus Christ."

at age 34 i went to seminary at southwestern baptist theological seminary at
fort worth,TX. each day for the first year i would go to the library and
read some of the dogmas and teachings of masonry. it is the one world
religion! all roads point to heaven they say. your good works will do it,
they say. Jesus blood means nothing to them. it is formed from isis, an
egyptian goddess and various hindu teachings. it is from the devil. it is
anti-Christ. a cult, definitely. to confuse more men and women , they have a
degree route that teaches a form of Christianity, the York rite. it is all a
sham and one day will be exposed. thanks for your stand. we were told in
seminary to choose our battles carefully. most said stay away from the
masonic battle. what they were saying was, we are fearful of it. well, the
perfect love of God casts out all fear!

the password is tubal-cain and comes from scripture. genesis 4:19-22
tubal genesis 10:2 Isaiah 66:19 Ezekial 38:2,3 and 32:26,27
this is the password for the entered apprentice degree in the blue lodge.
this is the 1st degree or lowest level of masonry. upon passing an oral exam
with extensive memorization, one is given the next degree, the fellowcraft
degree or the 2nd degree of the blue lodge. it's password is shibboleth from
Judges 12:6. after passing another oral examination, the 3rd degree (hence
the term one is "given the third degree") is conferred on someone and after
passing another test one becomes a master mason. by using scripture and
always talking about the building of king solomon's temple it causes a person
not grounded in the Word of God to think he is headed the correct way.
the blue lodge is the organization on the local level. it consists of men
who are in the entered apprentice rank, the fellowcraft, or the master mason
degrees. it also will have many men who have chosen to go higher in masonry,
maybe as high as the 33rd degree which is only given to someone who has
accomplished much in this world ( such as a political figure or great
benefactor). from the 4th through the 32nd degrees one goes to a scottish
rite temple to have these degrees conferred upon them. two days of my life
were wasted in this and i took many blood oaths that i had to be delivered
from though the blood of Jesus.

one wise man told me, you can be a Christian and be a mason, but he has never
seen a mason be a strong spiritual man of God's Word. from what i have seen,
i don't believe the two can mix very deeply.
blessings to you in the Name of JESUS,
