Can a Seventh-day Adventist be a Freemason?

Answer 1

According to http://www.masonicinfo.com/religion2.htm, one of the fundamental beliefs that one must have to become a free mason is a belief in the immortality of the soul. However, SDA belief is that the soul is not now immortal, nor will any wicked soul ever be immortal, but that on the resurrection day the righteous in Christ being risen, and being mortal still, will then put on immortality.

Thus, it would seem that the SDA belief in a mortal soul is incongruous with the petition that one must sign to become a free mason asserting the belief in a soul's immortality.

AnswerAccording to Freemasons, yes.

Freemasons only requires you believe in God.

AnswerAccording to Adventists, I am afraid the answer is an absolute no. Freemasonry is considered a secret society and Seventh-day Adventists are encouraged to not be members of secret organizations. Adventists feel that Freemasonry contains oaths and promises that are considered an abomination to basic Biblical beliefs. AnswerThe SDA church does NOT have any strict official beliefs on this subject. Freemasonry is, however, a varied subject. The ORIGINAL Freemasons, were, indeed, a secret organization, and yes, they contained many oaths and dedication to them. However, in modern times there are many unofficial Freemason variation that have different beliefs. Original Freemason beliefs are not well known, nor complete, as they were a very secret organization. Answer2Cor:6:14: Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? AnswerYes they can. It is possible that some Free Mason organizations would have agreements to be signed for membership that an Adventist would not agree with and may not wish to sign.
