The Facts on The Masonic Lodge (Harvest House, 1989), p. 22

 

Does Freemasonry conflict with other religions such as Christianity?

  It is nonsense to say a Christian can hold to two different religious beliefs at the same time, especially when they conflict. The Masonic Lodge says it is acceptable for men to worship God outside of Christianity. Jesus disagrees. He said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). Jesus Christ teaches that He is the way to God—not Masonry, that He is the truth—not Masonic religion, and that spiritual life is found only in Him—not in Masonic doctrine and Ritual (John 14:6). In John 15:4, 5, Jesus teaches, “Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” If a person agrees with the teaching of the Masonic Lodge, he logically must deny Christ. A person is forced to choose between the Lodge and Jesus. He cannot hold both at the same time.
