Perhaps your God might have a single physical location. Mine does not. Mine is within and without everything, between, among, next to, and above all. Everywhere at once, no distinction between His "physical" and "spiritual" location. No single subatomic particle can exist without His presence...

If God is merely in the sky, then there is no actual God. Any "god" who is always somewhere else and never right here, right now, is not a god at all. Any "god" who is not right here, right now in every single right here right now, is such an insignificant "god" that we can dispense with it.

Kabbalah is about mysical union with God, or at least as close to this as Jewish ontological theology permits, which would be the experience of being at the Throne of God without having died first.

You can't win. You can't break even. You can't quite the game.

And that is part of the problem. You refuse to recognize Regularity. Regularity is extremely important to Freemasonry. Instead you place personal arrogance about "legit" over Regularity.

GODF is atheist and has been since the late 19th century, thus, it abandoned one of the Landmarks. GLDF is a schism from GODF that nominally abandoned GODF's atheism but has never had regular relationships with UGLE. It is now in a friendly relationship with GODF. GLNF was formed in the early...

Given that his regime ended with that Grand Lodge having its affairs being run by a court-appointed administrator (Maitre Monique Legrand), and she was not a Mason, either.

So, when do I get my part of the payout from the World Government surtax? Hey! I thought there'd be chicken blood! And when do I get the "Hypnotize your wife" lessons?

There is no invitation. One must apply of his own will and accord. A man who waits around for a Masonic invitation will wait forever. An investigation is done of an applicant. However, the Freemasons are not some kind of infallible Secret World Government, with unlimited power and reach. People...

I think I now understand what they tried to tell you. When a man voluntarily demits from Masonry, the record of his membership is not destroyed. If he ever wishes to return, all he has to do is present himself at a Lodge, pay the dues for that year, and he is restored in full degree and honors...

Liberal Freemasons? No such thing. The first site is the web site for the Regular Russian Grand Lodge, but it would have NOTHING TO DO with so-called "Liberal Freemasons". That sounds like some kind of atheistic "Grande Oriente" nonsense. And so you posted two obviously NON-ASSOCIATED web sites...

A group can claim to be "with Scottish Rite" and that means nothing. It says nothing about their legitimacy, because "Scottish Rite" has nothing to do with Scotland. There is no legal restriction against claiming to be "Scottish Rite", no matter how fraudulent the claim might be. Likewise, given...

This situation will eventually resolve with time. The more time passes, the more the "Bobby Lee surrendered but I would'a kept on fightin'" generation will leave the world.

They were the 7th, the 9th, and the 15th through the 18thth. Reason? They were creaky.

Because it's in the rules. Every GL in the USA has provisions for voluntarily demitting. Have you ever actually MET a Freemason?

You can "voluntarily demit", which amounts to "deactivation until you decide otherwise". In essence, you're not "erased from record", but you're certainly not expected to participate from that point, on (as if you're expected to in the first place, it's more like "tickled pink if you participate").

The Fundamentalist interpretation of 2 Cor 6:14 would mean that a Fundamentalist cannot work in the same place that has non-Fundamentalist employees, shop at stores with non-Fundamentalist employees or customers or, indeed, live in the same country as one that has non-Fundamentalist citizens...

It hasn't mattered in any other British colony than the USA. Each one had Irish, English, and Scottish GL lodges in the same territories at least for a time, and the three GL didn't fight over that. No, that's silly, and history shows it's not Masonic (or it's another America-only aberration)...

To summarize the Taxil Hoax: An atheist satiris (Taxil) wrote a ridiculous story to fool Christians and make them look ridiculous. He then exposed himself and his hoax. People just conveniently forgot the hoax part.

It's later. "Significant" is a horrible term. I've pointed out how little it actually means. People smarter than I have pointed out in great detail the harm it does. There's a book called The Cult of Statistical Significance (http://www.press.umich.edu/186351/cult_of_statistical_significance)...
