It was just the way that you wrote it Bro., that's all. It sounded as if you were saying in that short blurb that you were blaming fate that you now have to exercise your free will! I liked the irony.

Is Christianity really compatible with Freemasonry? Of course it is. Further more Freemasonry is compatible with Christianity. At least, in the forms that I practice both. Your mileage may vary.

LOL! Good one! Blaming free will upon having no choice but to have it! AWESOME!

Yes, so the acceptance of a truth has nothing to do with the source providing it? Oh. I was left with the impression by your statement: that the source was important in accepting an offered truth. Thank you for the clarification Bro.

You are obligated by choice, one made by free will. That bind exists by choice. That choice can change at any time.

Not much. There can be absolutely no good to come from getting into a conversation with someone who has already made up his mind. I don't. I know the truth. Freemasonry doesn't require defense. I smile and sometimes laugh. Then I walk away. Such discussions are like talking to walls that...

So, the moment one freely takes upon one's self an obligation, one is no longer able to exercise one's free will? (great topic Bro.!)

Some people believe for a truth to exist, it must be supported by facts. Some believe that, for truth to exist, one has only to recognize it independent of any supporting factuality. I do not see all truths having to be supported by facts. There are some truths that transcend time and space...

The basis for both good and evil is the Value that is being sought by the person who is doing the labeling. Common Values must be present for this tale to have its intended impact. Those who are in the discussion have yet to shake out what is considered valuable to all involved. This is why...

So you believe that for truth to exist, it must be based solely upon fact?

Just as the made up legend of HA, it's an Allegory. You either find value and truth in it, or you don't.

Thanks for asking Bro.! You can purchase the entire set, plus additional supportive materials, at http://www.coach.net/BuildingBuilders.htm BTW - There are now EIGHT Volumes to the set. Please let me know if you have any questions. F&S, Coach Nagy

I refer to myself one way or the other depending upon what I am talking about and doing. Freemasonic: If it is associated with organization stuff that has to do with membership activities, like going to organizational meetings, practices, or performing...

If you want to read more about Cowans, here's a chapter out of a book I wrote but it's in article form. Enjoy! http://buildinghiram.blogspot.com/2013/06/the-hole-story.html

(cough) No value at all? It got you to reply with some good Light. There's value in that?

James 1:27

the wide opening in

It 's not a tenant of Masonry to make good men better. It's what occurs for men who apply its principles. The Fraternity won't do it. Your Brothers won't do it. No one will, can and shall do it but you. That's message hidden within the 3rd Degree Legend. You're on your own in making...

The Challenge is deciding on which Old Charge!

Not yet. I didn't go about breaking own any bylaws (or landmarks for that matter). I simply wanted to get to the root of some important words used within the Fraternity that are too often misunderstood. Yours is a great idea though.
