This document discusses the incompatibility between Judaism and Freemasonry. It provides several quotes from Masonic texts and biblical passages that indicate:
1) Freemasonry teaches devotion to a "Great Architect of the Universe" rather than the one God of the Bible and encourages the acceptance of all religious beliefs.
2) Key Masonic figures like Albert Pike and Manly P. Hall describe Lucifer as the giver of Masonic light, but the Bible identifies Lucifer as Satan.
3) Freemasonry has roots in Egyptian mystery religions and encourages joining with those of other faiths, but the Bible warns against idolatry and joining with non-believers.

Do you know someone who is a member of the Masons?
Do you know that Freemasonry is not pleasing to G_d? Many people are deceived about Freemasonry. We present this information without malice, but with hon- esty as we have actual Masonic literature at our fingertips, therefore we quote not from our own opinions, but from the freemasons own literature. The most important prayer in the Torah is the Shema. It says, Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is One. There is only one G_d that the Jew is to worship. From page 31 in The Great Teachings of Masonry, by H. L. Haywood: Masonic initiation is intended to be quite as profound and as revolutionizing an experience. As a result of it the candidate should become a new man: he should have a new range of thought; a new feeling about mankind; a new idea about God... Freemasonry causes a man or woman (co-masonic organi- zations) to commit idolatry because they worship the all en- compassing canopy of the Great Architect of the Universe. Freemasonry accepts other religions and their gods. This means that if a person was a Buddhist or Hindu or even a Satanist or Witch, they join, bind, or yoke themselves to them in the Universal Brotherhood when they bow the knee at the altar doing their oaths. From page 726 we read about the universal masonic broth- swear only by His name. (14) Do not follow other gods, any gods of the people about you - (15) for the Lord your God in your midst is an impassioned God - Lest the anger of the Lord your God blaze forth against you and He wipe you off the face of the earth. G_d brought punishment on those who joined them selves to idol worshipers. Numbers 25:1-5 (Tanakh: The Holy Scriptures-The New JPS Translation) (1) While Israel was staying at Shittim, the people profaned themselves by whor- ing with the Moibite women, (2) who invited the people to the sacrificices for their god. The people partook of them and worshiped that god. (3) Thus Israel attached itself the Baal-peor, and the Lord was incensed with Israel. (4) The Lord said to Moses, Take the ringleaders and have them pub- licly impaled before the Lord, so that the Lords wrath may turn away from Israel. (5) So Moses said to Israels officials, Each of you slay those of his men who have attached themselves to Baal- peor. Manly P. Hall and Albert Pike, two of the greatest Ma- sonic authorities of all time reveal the true god of Freema- sonry. In the following quotes they reveal Lucifer as the giver of the Masonic light. From page 48 in The Lost Keys of Freemasonry, by Manly P. Hall: When the Mason learns that the key to the warrior on the block is the proper application of the dynamo of living power, he has learned the mystery of his Craft. The seething energies of Lu- cifer are in his hands and before he may step on- ward and upward, he must prove his ability to prop- erly apply energy. From page 321 in Morals and Dogma, by Albert Pike: Lucifer, the Light-bearer! Strange and mysterious name to give to the Spirit of Darkness! Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Is it he who bears the Light, and with its splendors intolerable blinds feeble, sensual, or selfish Souls? Doubt it not! There is no such thing as a kind Lucifer that will give you light and initiation. This is a lie of Satan. Lucifer was the name of Satan before he rebelled against God. Lucifer is in reality - Satan. The word of G_d declares this truth. Isaiah 14:12-15 (Tanakh: The Holy Scriptures-JPS Translation) How are you fallen from heaven, O Shin- ing One, son of Dawn. How are you felled to earth, o vanquisher of nations! (13) Once you thought in your heart, I will climb to the sky; Higher than the stars of God I will set my throne. I will sit in the mount of assembly, on the summit of Zaphon. (14) I will mount the back of a cloud- I will match the Most High. (15) Instead, you are brought down to Sheol, to the bottom of the pit. Dont be deceived by the Freemasons. If you know some- one who is a Freemason, please let them know the truth about the organization. If you are in a relationship with a mason, please pray ask G_d to forgive you. Some relationships are bound to have problems. This often includes partners who have been un- equally yoked. These relationships often involve a Freema- son and a person who believes in G_d and his command- ments. In either situation, we would suggest if you choose to con- front to be sure you are educated about Masonry and the reasons it is not compatible with believing in G_d and fol- lowing his commandments. We pray this tract will help. More information is available if you wish to contact us. We were inspired to write this small tract because of a con- versation with a Jewish person about her concerns with a friend and Freemasonry. We are a Christian organization, however, we want to encourage G_d-fearing Jews and Chris- tians to work together to expose the evils of Freemasonry and its idolatry.

To the requisi- tions of the law of Nature and the law of God, it adds the imperative obligation of a contract. Upon enter- ing the Order, the Initiate binds to himself every Ma- son in the world. Once enrolled among the children of Light, every Mason on earth becomes his brother, and owes him the duties, the kindnesses, and the sym- pathies of a brother. All freemasons are also guilty of committing idolatry be- cause they pray to a god that is not the G_d of the Bible. Freemasons call their god, The Great Architect of the Uni- verse. (G.A.O.T.U.) They are yoked to idol worshipers when they participate in these acts and pray to the Grand Archi- tect of the Universe who is not our G_d. The Lodge therefore addresses an appropriate prayer to the G.A.O.T.U., through its Chaplain, the Wor- shipful Master, or any brother present. Indiana Monitor, P. 48 Gods Holy Book, His revelation to us, is the guide in our search for Light. To the Jew, the Holy Book is the history of Israel, substantially the Old Testa- ment. To the Christian it is the Old and New Testa- ment. To the Mohammedan it is the Koran; to the Hindu, the Veda. But whatever book it is, it is the Holy Book for the seeker of Light and that which he believes to be the word of God. Indiana Monitor, p. 143 To the altar of Freemasonry all men bring their most votive offerings. Around it all men, whether they have received their teachings from Confucius, Zoroaster, Moses, Mohammed or the founder of the Christian religionjust so long as they believe in the universality of the fatherhood of God and the uni- versality of the brotherhood of manmeet upon a common level. The Jew returns to his synagogue, the Mohammedan to his mosque and the Christian to his templeeach better prepared for the solemn duties of life by the associations in this universal brotherhood. The Louisiana Monitor, 1980 print- ing, p. 133 Freemasonry is steeped in the traditions of the Egyptian mystery religions. From pages 102-103 in The Lost Keys of Freemasonry, by Manly P. Hall: Recognizing Egypt to have been the cradle of supe- rior culture and most exalted philosophy, and ad- mitting the almost undeniable evidence that the Egyptian Mysteries were the progenitors of mod- ern Freemasonry.. The Lord G_d has already delivered Jews from the idols of the Egyptians. Ezekiel 20:7-8 (Tanakh: The Holy Scriptures-JPS Translation) I also said to them: Cast away, every one of you, the detestable things that you are drawn to, and do not defile yourselves with the fetished of Egypt- I the Lord am your God. (8) But they defiled ME and refused to listen to Me. They did not cast away the detestable things they were drawn to, nor did they give up the fetishes of Egypt. Then I re- solved to pour out My fury upon them, to vent all My anger upon them there, in the land of Egypt. He does not want us to be in bondage to anyone. If we follow his commandments he will break our yokes. Leviticus 26:13 (Tanakh: The Holy Scriptures-JPS Translation) I the Lord am your God who brought you out from the land of the Egyptians to be their slaves no more, who broke the bars of your yoke and made you walk erect. Isaiah 58:1-2 (Tanakh: The Holy Scriptures-JPS Translation) Cry with full throat, without restraint; Raise your voice like a rams horn! Declare to My people their transgression, To the House of Jacob their sin. (2) To be sure, they seek me daily, Eager to learn my ways. Like a nation that does what is right, That has not abandoned the laws of its God, They ask Me for the right way, They are eager for the nearness of God. Isaiah 58:6-9 (Tanakh: The Holy Scriptures-JPS Translation) No, this is the fast I desire: To unlock fetters of wickedness, and untie the cords of the yoke. To let the oppressed go free; To break off every yoke. It is to share your bread with the hun- gry, And to take the wretched poor into your home; When you see the naked, to clothe him, And to not ignore your own kin. (8) And then shall your light burst through like the dawn, And your healing spring up quickly; Your vindicator shall march be- fore you, The Presence of the Lord shall be your rear guard. Then, when you call, the Lord will an- swer; when you cry, He will say: Here I am . If you banish the yoke from your midst, The menacing hand, and evil speech. It is our responsibility to take ourselves away from the midst of the yoke. A person needs to get out of the organi- zation of Freemasonry if he wants to please the Lord G_d. From the very beginning G_d has expressed His opinion about idolatry in the ten commandments. Exodus 20:1-6 (Tanakh: The Holy Scriptures-JPS Translation) God spoke all these words, saying: (2) I the Lord am your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, the house of bondage: (3) You shall have no other gods besides Me. (4) You shall not make for yourself a sculpted image, or any like- ness of what is in the heavens above, or on the earth below, or in the waters under the earth. (5) You shall not bow down to them or serve them. For I the Lord your God am an impassioned God, visit- ing the guilt of the parents upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generations of those who reject Me, (6) but showing kindness to the thousandth generation of those who love Me and keep My commandments. Deuteronomy 6:13-15 (Tanakh: The Holy Scrip- tures-The New JPS Translation) (13) Revere only the Lord your God and worship Him alone, and 2 3 4
