  • Behind Closed Doors: the Religion of the Masonic Lodge
    Behind Closed Doors: The Religion Of The Masonic Lodge “I contend, without any sort of hesitation, that Masonry is, in every sense of the word, except one, and that its least philosophical, an eminently religious institution—that it is indebted solely to the religious element which it contains for its origin and for its continued existence, that without this religious element it would scarcely be worthy of cultivation by the wise and good” (Albert Mackey, Encyclopedia of Freemasonry) © 2005 David Padfield • All Rights Reserved www.padfield.com Behind Closed Doors: The Religion Of The Masonic Lodge Introduction I. In this lesson we are going to investigate a seldom discussed religion: the Masonic Lodge and its auxiliary organizations. A. I have no animosity toward individual Masons; most are good fathers and honest, law abiding citizens. B. This body of nearly six million men has done a lot of good, such as the Shriner’s Hospitals for burned and crippled children. C. Many great men in American history have been members of the Lodge: Benjamin Franklin, Henry Ford, General Douglas MacArthur, George Washington and 12 other U.S. Presidents. D. Doctors, lawyers and judges are often members of the Masonic Lodge. 1. Unfortunately, many Christians have joined their number. 2. “Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?” (Amos 3:3) 3. “He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad” (Matthew 12:30). II. My respect for friends and relatives who are Masons does not diminish my abhorrence for their Lodge.
