I have to say that I do believe Christ's suffering and Resurrection is the only way to salvation
since He said. I am the way the truth and the light and NO man comes to The Father
but by me. This does not mean I run around telling people they are going to hell or disrespect other people in their religion.
I want to join your fraternity badly. I have done countless hours of
research and soul searching. OF COURSE I have come across some very weird
info on masonry most of which is probably false. I have a friend who is a 32°
mason who signed my petition. I am not going to run around and ask everyone in a
lodge what their beliefs are but I just want assurance that Masonry can co-exist
with Christ. I am a Christian first and then a mason should I be raised one.
I also believe salvation is by grace through faith alone. I do however think that
faith produces works and that evidence of faith is found in works. The epistle of
James clearly states faith without works is dead. I have one final concern which I
hope you can answer... In my degrees will I have to take vows to other gods that
I do not believe in? I have read that to be a shiner you must take a vow to Allah etc...
Thank You So Much,
Eric
