Freemasons

This is incalculable, because Masonic charity does not only take place by means of large organizations like the Shriners and the various Grand Lodges but also at the Lodge and individual level. If members of a small country lodge pass the hat to provide assistance for a person in their community who has suffered a calamity, no record is kept of it. When a Mason gives something to someone in need because he feels it is his Masonic duty to do so, no record is kept of it. The recorded donations of Masons to charity in North America exceeds a million dollars a day, but the unrecorded charitable gifts of Masons are incalculable.

A government department might contain some members of the Masonic Order, but it is impossible that everyone involved in it would be a mason. Masonic membership is not a requirement for any government department anywhere in the world.

What Freemasons believe is up to the individual Mason. The organization itself teaches no beliefs about religion. Some Masons might believe in magic; others assuredly don't. Some Masons probably believe in Biblical miracles, which are good magic which comes from God if you like.

I shall love others by their act no by their look.

A Christian might be a Freemason, but a Freemason is not necessarily a Christian. Most Masonic Grand Jurisdictions require only a belief in a Supreme Being, although in a minority of jurisdictions (considered "irregular" by the majority) even this is not required.

Unless someone specifically states that he is a member of the Freemasons it is almost impossible to know for sure that they are.

To join Freemasonry, you must be a man, of age (18 - 25 depending on where you are), who believes in God (any religion, or no religion is fine, but you must believe in a supreme being) and immortality of the soul (an eternal afterlife). If you meet those qualifications, you just have to ask a Mason. If you don't know any Masons, you can contact your local lodge to see about going and visiting. They should be happy to speak with you.

Once you've made the acquaintance of one or more Masons, you'll have to fill out a petition (a form that asks about why you want to join, what you expect of Freemasonry, who you are, etc.), with the Mason(s) you've met as signers to the petition. The details of this can vary based on where you are.

Once they have your petition back, they will read your petition in lodge, and will assign a committee to visit with you, usually three or so people. They will meet with you and your wife or other family members if you desire, and will make sure you have the best understanding of Freemasonry that you can have without actually being a Mason. They are also there to evaluate your character, and will report back to the next lodge meeting. The members of the lodge will then vote on your admittance; it takes a unanimous vote to be admitted.

N0, Rose muhando praises her God and savior Jesus Christ. I dont know what Sony wants with her but let the whole world know, Jesus is there for those who believe in Him AND NO ONE CAN CHANGE THAT. Rose will continue to serve Jesus and we will continu to pray for her.

Freemasonry is a fraternal organization that emphasizes moral and spiritual development, self-improvement, and contributing to the well-being of society. It promotes principles such as integrity, charity, and brotherly love. It provides a platform for members to engage in philosophical discussions, engage in charitable activities, and foster a sense of camaraderie among its members.

If you are seeking financial success, it's advisable to focus on personal development, education, acquiring skills, pursuing entrepreneurial endeavors, or engaging in investments and financial planning. These are more practical avenues for wealth creation and success. Remember, financial success is a result of various factors such as hard work, dedication, skill, and opportunity, and cannot be guaranteed by membership in any organization, including the Freemasons.

Freemasonry is not a single religious group, nor dictates the religion of its followers. It simply states you must believe in a supreme being. The nature of the Supreme Being is not usually defined on denominational lines, to support the inclusive nature of the organization (in Sweden, however, members must be professed Christians). However some Grand Lodges expect their members to endorse certain general statements about the Supreme Being, such as that the Supreme Being favours good and abhors evil.

However, it is usually up to the prospective member to conclude whether, in good conscience, he can declare that he has passed the religious test. People's thinking process being what it is, a Satanist might concievably twist things to believe that he had done so. It would not ever be known to the fellow Masons, and it is highly unlikely a Satanist would join given the nature of the Freemason society (charity, peace and goodwill are a major focus), but still possible. The man would not only have to deceive his brother Masons as to his beliefs, but would also have to have a reputation for goodness before joining.

To add to this, The main goals of Masons is to make better men and to help out their community. Masons who are Shriners run the Shriners Hospital which is one of the best burn centers in the world. Children are treated for free! Other lodges deal with other issues. It's like adult Boy Scouts. If this kind of kindness and charity (the kind of behaviour Jesus promoted so strongly) is what Satanism is all about, perhaps we have misjudged Satanism.

The purpose of Freemasonry has been described as "making good men better" and "trying to be happy and to communicate happiness".

Coeur d'Alene Masonic Temple was created in 1909.

Freemasonry is an institution which does not have a strong central authority so the rules differ from place to place. Some of the common rules are that Masons must be men who are adults and who believe in a Supreme Being, by whatever name that deity might be known. In some places the Mason must believe in a revealed religion, and in others must be Christian. Masons are usually forbidden to discuss matters of partisan politics and sectarian religion in Lodge--these issues must be treated very generally if at all. Freemasons must be men of good reputation, and can be expelled from the Fraternity if they are found to have committed crimes.

One of the central characters in Masonic legend is the man who was the chief architect at the building of The Temple of The Lord at Jerusalem by Solomon, the King of Israel. His name, according to the Bible, was Hiram, and he was recorded as having trained in Tyre, working for the King of Tyre, also named Hiram. According to the text, Hiram the Builder (as differentiated from "Hiram the King") was the son of a citizen of Tyre and an Israeli woman who had moved to Tyre, likely with her father and family. His mother, of the Israeli tribe of Naphthali, was a widow; as a result, Hiram was known as "The Widow's Son".

As a Point of interest, I myself, am a Freemason.

To become a Mason in a regular lodge you have to be Male, believe in a supreme being, and a life after death or "future existence." Our principle tenets are brotherly love, relief, and truth and we also believe that it is our duty to practice charity towards all man kind however and when ever we can. We also seek to better the world through bettering ourselves and thus becoming better men. Belief is a relative term and we don't practice and religious dogma, or dictate to our members what views they have to subscribe to. We offer knowledge, and moral teachings that if applied in you life will no doubt make you a better man despite you beliefs.

Freemasonry is not a religion but (in most forms) requires its members to profess belief in a supreme Being. That is a religious test which all people who profess themselves to be Christians can pass, as well as Jews, Muslims, Sikhs, and many Hindus as well. In fact, most Freemasons profess themselves to be Christians.

Some churches have banned their members from joining Freemasonry, especially those who do not want their members associating with Jews, Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus and Christians who go to different churches. They often attempt to justify these bans on the basis of totally inaccurate information about the Masonic Fraternity.

Currently they are not, however Joseph Smith (the first Prophet of the restoration) was, and maybe some other early Prophets and members as well. I hear that Mormon Temple rituals contain similarities to free mason rituals, (but i do not know either.)

Freemasons are not bad at all. They are devoted to their own personal improvement and to helping others. Masons give millions of dollars to charity every day, in order to help out their fellow creatures. Masonic principles are in every way consistent with the principles of Christianity, Islam, Judaism and Sikhism, and members of all these religions are members of Freemasonry. Freemasonry has no political agenda of any kind, and its members are forbidden from discussing partisan politics.

No, Bush was not a Mason.

You must decide for yourself I would suggest visiting your local lodge or talking to one. I will say that if your catholic you have a difficult time being one seeing as how they oppose it, but once again you must decide in your heart thAt it is something you want to do. Also be careful what you read on the Internet
