Can a Christian be Freemason?

Freemasons claim that they accept all religions. However, their study contains much from which Christians can not agree. 'Lost Name of God' is an important subject in all rites of Freemasonry.

The rite of initiation, the candidate is presented to God as YOU, the big architect of the universe. As 'Wayfarer-Mason', teach him about the name JHVH - short for Jehovah. As a master-mason learns that there is learning more about the mysterious name that is found in the degree of 'royal architecture. " Mystical name is revealed as a combination of Jewish and Middle Eastern names for God, which no one can ever pronounce than three royal architectural Mason, each of which speaks only one syllable. Masons have many gods are considered equal to Jesus. Masonic literature denies that Jesus is the only Savior of the world. Masons reject Christ's death on the cross as the only God's deliverance from sin. Salvation depends on deeds, not faith in God. Holy Books of many religions, the Vedas and the Quran as being equally worthy of God's revelation.

In introducing the association, a candidate must admit that he is in the darkness and must reach out for the light. Christians believe they have found the true light, Jesus said: "I am the light of the world" (John 8:12)

Freemasonry - How it all started?

In the Middle Ages, all crafts had their own guilds and secret passwords to help its members hold at least a minimum of work to prevent exploiting them. One such group of craftsmen were Freemasons who have traveled from one country to another, helping to build churches and cathedrals.

Close to the object being built and temporary dwellings, built by the 'Lodge', where they spent their leisure time. As the cathedral built by less, so the Masons began to receive honorary members to increase the number of their associations. During the seventeenth century, the masons who are really engaged in a masterful job, expelled from his title of 'free', while the 'theoretical' members took the title of 'free and accepted' and have won the pomp and ceremony of ancient religious orders. In 1717 they established the first Grand Lodge in England. In 1725th a group of English noblemen, who resided in Paris, founded the lodge and there will soon be Freemasonry spread throughout Europe. One prominent member was Count Cagliostro (1743-95), he claimed that he could make gold, miraculous healing, sexual power and extend life to 5557 years. He ruled Lyon Lodge and formed his own branch of "Egyptian Masonry" which included the women's lodge, over which was chaired by 'Queen of Sheba'.

A Freemason, may become a grown man who believes in the existence of a supreme being and the immortality of the soul - and can pay a membership fee. The very person may seek to join, in a way suggesting that future candidates would have gladly received as a member if he so desires. Initiation or entry into society is very dramatic and filled with symbolism.

Freemasons wants to open an office in Brussels to lobby in EU

Freemasons wants to open an office in Brussels to lobby against the increasing influence of religious organizations in the institutions of the European Union, said the former Grand Master of Grand Lodge "Grand Orient de France" Jean-Michel Quillardet.

Masonic orders would need to practice politics in a positive sense of the term in order in spite of its divisions to defend secularism and express disagreement with certain decisions of the European administration - said Quillardet to the Belgian daily Le Soir.

He added that the European Masonic lodges are divided on this issue. In fact, some fear it will open offices in the capital of the EU to attract to attract attention to himself. But Quillardet holding to practical reasons should prevail over the divisions. - One day we will be able to establish a general Masonic delegation. At the political level possible, but in the financial infinitely less because we have less money then the churches - explained a former Grand Master.

The first task of the Brussels office would be the promotion of ideas of the Enlightenment, which consists of the point that, as Quillardet says, Europeans, primarily the citizens of Europe before the Jews, dark-skinned people from the Maghreb, homosexuals, heterosexuals ...

Quillardet discovers that his line is already trying to unite all the European lodges. In 2007. organized a Pan-European Congress of Masons in Strasbourg, and in 2008 and 2009. same meeting held in Greece and Turkey. This year, a European Freemasons gather in Portugal. Two years ago, a European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso met for the first time with Freemason delegation.

- We told him that apart from its Christian roots, Europe is based on Greek and Roman philosophy, humanism and the Renaissance Enlightenment - Quillardet said, adding that the same year, Barroso sent a letter to a Masonic Congress in Athens, which the former Grand Master has considered as a "recognition of the Freemasons" .

Famous Scientologists

I already mentioned Tom Cruise, and a famous Hollywood actor who is also a scientologist is John Travolta.
Tom Cruise came into contact with Scientology through his first wife Mimi Rogers. There was the Scientology "self-help", or through psychotherapy Scientology Tom has beaten dyslexia. Since then he is a big follower and supporter of Scientology.
Hollywood actors are advertising units through which Scientology operates. With great influence they are pushing the careers of these actors, and in turn they operate as the propaganda machinery of this great deception.

Absurdity of Scientology

One of the symbols of Scientology is called. "Scientology cross". The cross is a symbol of Christianity - the passion, death and resurrection of Christ. Scientology has nothing to do with Christianity, the only relationship with Christ is that it is a fake picture (remember the 3D cinema with thousands of billions of souls who see the days of confusing movie). Why a cross? Scientology cross has eight branches that show eight dynamics (?!).
My opinion is that this crisis is one of the Scientology scams to be closer to the iconography of its religious side.
The official web site of the Church of Scientology calls people to "Sunday service" and Sunday worship.
But what is celebrated on that Worship? Xenu's captivity?

Scientology manipulation (how dangerous is Scientology?)

Church of Scientology is not recognized as a religion anywhere, except in the U.S. where they established thanks to the first amendment to the Constitution of the United States where is the guarantee of religious freedom. Religion has become clear from pragmatism to get all the benefits Tax enjoyed by religious institutions. So what is Scientology?
Scientology is essentially a way to derive a large amounts of money from followers or victims.

How?
I mentioned above a monk who speaks about their psychological secrets. Scientology is namely using dangerous psychotherapy which essentially operates on the principle of brainwashing. So through psychotherapy they are weakening the mind of a follower so the mind becomes from rational to a irrational state. And still it is not difficult to manipulate the followers, not even to sell them a absurd story of Xenu.

Unfortunately here we can not talk about any kind of religious freedom because there is no religion here! Scientology is thus a big scam of good living, great leaders of this "religion." In Germany, Scientology is under constant surveillance by German intelligence services, in Italy are many processes against the Scientology Church and the United States has launched many investigations of economic crimes, theft and even murder. Many leaders of this "religion" end up in jail.

People who are drawn into Scientology brainwashing, and were able to back out have launched sort of war against Scientology on the Internet to alert people to the devastating consequences of entering into this "religion".

Why is Scientology not a religion

Scientology at first glance have all what a religion should have. There are rituals, symbols, Sunday Liturgy ... But to have a worship, in this word should be - God. In fact, Scientology has no creed or any points of contact with the transcendental in any sense. There is no mention of God or Salvation ... nothing!
The question is whether religion must necessarily have a connection with the transcendental? And the answer is ... Yes!

Namely, if we set Scientology against for example communism as an ideology ... And there we see the symbols of communism, there were even apostles (Marx, Engels, Lenin), it has its final goal (communism / classless society), has its own holy book (manifesto), has its own philosophy ... but there is no connection with the transcendental and therefore it is not a religion but an ideology.

Originally I looked at Scientology as yet another New Age movement. In this day and age when there is a reign of spiritual hunger, the New Age is from the religion of consumerism has become an instant religion, just as we are becoming instant civilizations. Take a mix of religions, make a cocktail, take what you amiss, the principal is that it is good for you - and make your own spirituality.

But Scientology is not mentioning anywhere, nor touch the spirituality. One monk who is also known for his ecumenical and interreligious work met with a member of the Church of Scientology. His conclusion was as follows: Scientology not a religion (because it has no connection with the transcendental), and his followers are manipulated so that some psychological mystery is revealed to them.

Scientology, the basic principles and a closely guarded secret ...

Scientology is a philosophical religion founded by L. Ron Hubbard. A former writer of science fiction novels founded the first Church of Scientology of California 1954th in mind autopsychological method which has grown from his earlier thought of self-help system 'Dianetics'.

It is important to point out that people are not attracted to Scientology by telling them an incredible SF story which seems to have fallen out of Sirius. But ... the story of Xenu is told only when followers of Scientology are already for long time brainwashed, so this story can be served to them. Because, hand on heart this story could be swallowed only by a small portion of the population as those no lifers, which are dressed in Jedi suits and believe in the force.

Theology (let's call it so) of the Church of Scientology, which comes to recruiting new followers in short that it could perhaps be described as Audi's slogan "Vorsprung durch Technik" or progress through technology. Scientology was initially established as a secular philosophy. Shortly after the founding of Scientology as a philosophy, Scientology is formed into a religion or applied religious philosophy.
