Supper – an unholy parody almost as bad as the Satanic Mass. It is undoing the very covenant that<br />

Jesus began. (Matthew 26:28)<br />

A Christian KT who partakes of this evil communi<strong>on</strong> is drinking "the cup of the Lord, and the cup of<br />

devils". (I Corinthians 10:21) Paul warns us that:<br />

Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily,<br />

shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. (I Corinthians 11:27)<br />

All this is <strong>on</strong> top of swearing an earlier oath that his head might be "smote off and placed <strong>on</strong> the<br />

highest spire of Christendom."<br />

This is not Christianity, but a carefully devised fraud; and a fraud that <strong>on</strong>e can join <strong>on</strong>ly after taking 12<br />

Christ-denying oaths! Yet many Christian leaders are proud members of the Commandery!<br />

Pages 83-85<br />

The Christian candidate for Mas<strong>on</strong>ic initiati<strong>on</strong> is asked to strip off all his clothes and any metal <strong>on</strong> him.<br />

He is blindfolded after being robed in a funny set of blue pajamas with a hole cut in the chest and the<br />

legs missing. A rope is placed around his neck and he is led to the door of the Lodge. He knocks, and<br />

a challenge comes from within: "Who comes here?"<br />

He is totally befuddled, so the fellow who is guiding him says for him:<br />

Mr.________, who has l<strong>on</strong>g been in darkness, and now seeks to be brought to light,<br />

and to receive a part in the rights and benefits of the worshipful Lodge, erected to God<br />

and dedicated to the holy Saints John, as all brothers and fellows have d<strong>on</strong>e before.<br />

Imagine a Christian, perhaps even a deac<strong>on</strong> or a pastor saying that! A Christian should have the "Light<br />

of the World," Jesus Christ, dwelling within his heart! (John 8:12) We are told in the first chapter of<br />

John's mighty gospel that in Jesus:<br />

... was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shi<strong>net</strong>h in darkness; and<br />

the darkness comprehended it not. There was a man sent from God, whose name was<br />

John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through<br />

him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness to that Light.<br />

That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.<br />

(John 1:4-9)<br />

Note the ir<strong>on</strong>y, <strong>on</strong>e might even say the nerve of Mas<strong>on</strong>ic ritual, to claim as its patr<strong>on</strong>s John the<br />

Revelator and John the Baptist – <strong>on</strong>e the author of these very words proclaiming Jesus the <strong>on</strong>ly "true<br />

light," and the other proclaimed by these words to be the witness of Jesus' light! Yet in this ritual they<br />

force the Christian to say that he has "l<strong>on</strong>g been in darkness."<br />

John says that Jesus' light sh<strong>on</strong>e into the darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not! For a<br />

Christian Mas<strong>on</strong> to proclaim himself in darkness and beg "light" from <str<strong>on</strong>g>Freemas<strong>on</strong>ry</str<strong>on</strong>g> is like some<strong>on</strong>e<br />

who stands in brilliant no<strong>on</strong> day asking to borrow a flashlight with which to see! Such a man has<br />

implicitly, if not explicitly, denied the very Lord Who bought him. (II Peter 2:1)<br />

What "light" could Mas<strong>on</strong>ry possibly offer that Jesus has not already given the Christian?<br />
