      I'm not a Mason but have deep respect for their work. My father-in-law and his dad were both Masons, and my wife got some of their regalia and documents after each passed.
      Lucifer is an aspect of Venus, and like Pan, both revered in Rome around the time of Constantine's conversion. Both were later turned into the devil.
      Venus in it's rising aspect is the last star (actually planet) seen at dawn before the Sun rises. Venus in it's fallen aspect is the first star seen at dusk just as the sun sets. The Hebrew word in Isaiah is roughly translated as boastful or excessive pride, and hence the use of Lucifer used in the Greek Septuagint. The Fall of Lucifer is when Venus no longer heralds the Sun.
      Hopefully that clarifies matters, and I haven't thrown any pearls before swine.

    This is a very important explanation because it puts together different masonic bodies and different masonic teachings according to the Bible.
    I´m both a Master Mason and a Bible Study student in my church (American Church) and I´ve always wondered where I could possibly find in the Bible some of the instructions I´d had in the Blue Lodges degrees.
    Thanks once again for your efforts in sharing with us this very important subject, the Masonic Bible.

      It seems to me re: “God is the great architect of the universe” that God never claimed to be, nor outside of Free Masonry, no one of authority ever called God the great architect of the universe.
      Scripture instructs us that God created the universe. Being the architect or ruler of the universe it seems to me is satan’s gig.
      There is a massive difference between Creator and architect.
      My father, stepdad, grandad, two uncles and a cousin are/were 32nd degree masons, and so with hopefully wisdom, critical thinking and research, I’m trying to discern the truth.
      I have no ax to grind with anyone but am troubled to hear that the name Jesus Christ was not allowed to be spoken inside the lodge. Did I understand that correct.? If so, that seems troubling for anyone professing to be a Christian.

    • @ScottishRiteMasons
      @ScottishRiteMasons  14 дней назад

      You lack knowledge of the history of your own faith. The term Great Architect of the Universe actually is borrowed from the Presbyterian faith. John Calvin, the great protestant theologist and Presbyterian coined the term in the 1500s.
      It’s fine if you don’t like masonry, but you can’t just make things up and pretend they are the truth, especially when you don’t have a basis of knowledge. It’s clear that the history of your own faith is not something you have ever studied. You may be informed into your faith, you may be at church and you may read your Bible. But you may not have necessarily looked at the actual history of Christianity.

    • @ronnieshearer7307
      @ronnieshearer7307 13 дней назад

      When I wrote “seems to me”, it was a clue that I wasn’t declaring nor was I condemning. My interest is seeking the truth. If Calvin said that, so be it. God never said it.
      I noticed you didn’t answer my question regarding mentioning the name of Jesus inside the lodge? Just asking with no hidden agenda or malice
      To your critique of my knowledge of Christian history, I’ll just say, I may not know all that John Calvin wrote. Heck, I may not know all the prophecies and mysteries within scripture, but I DO KNOW it’s Author.

    “You can’t copyright scripture.”
    True, but you _can_ copyright a specific translation of scripture. The King James Version is a bit unique in that it is in the public domain everywhere outside of Britain, in which the copyright is held by the British Crown. Most every other translation, meaning all except those that predate the King James, holds copyright protection everywhere there is copyright law.
    So unless you cite the King James Version outside of Britain, or cite an even older translation, or translate the scripture yourself, you have to credit the organization that produced the translation you are quoting, and follow the specific rules of the copyright on exactly how much you are allowed to republish, and in what way you can republish the translated text.

    As you said, it is a King James Version bible, just like the bible that I was given when I was a young boy. I bought my Masonic bible from the Grand Lodge as my home Lodge did not present a bible to the newly raised Master Mason. After that, I filled out my Masonic page, had several of the brethren that were still around sign it, and I carried it with me when I joined the Scottish Rite, and had it signed as well. As a Master Mason, I have reached the pinnacle of Freemasonry. My membership in Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite, SJ is for me to further help my journey in being a better man, husband, father, and member of my community, with the Great Light of Masonry (for me, a Christian, the Holy Bible) as a guide and comfort.

    So if the gist of the morality plays and degrees are laid out here in basic form, what really are the "secrets" that a mason isn't supposed to talk about? Would it just be the specifics of the ritual practices, and maybe some hidden meanings that aren't obvious at first? I don't seek specific answers here, just wondering what it is that's considered secret since it doesn't seem all that controversial/spooky to me. Just seems like some ritual work that can help someone better understand themselves. Even considering what I know about allegedly "spooky" occultism, Freemasonry doesn't seem negative or ill-intented at all.

    • @ScottishRiteMasons
      @ScottishRiteMasons  11 месяцев назад

      Freemasonry has no ill intent. As you mention, we have some private initiatory ceremonies, but all of what Masonry teaches can be found in the Bible in some form or fashion. Originally the "secrets" were trade secrets of the working stone masons.

    • @ScottishRiteMasons
      @ScottishRiteMasons  11 месяцев назад +2

      Good question, thanks for asking.
      First, when we say "degree" it is a title, not a rank (verify this in the dictionary if you wish).
      Second, I am a 33rd Elect, and I will tell you the 33rd degree is not really a degree like the rest of them. Our degrees, are moral and philosophical lessons. They are acted out, or conferred, like a stage play almost.
      BUT the KCCH (sort of the 32 1/2) and the 33rd are what we call HONORS. You don't just get those titles. They are given after you have worked in the fraternity for some time and done good things. You get elected to receive those degrees, or titles. Since you can't just show up and get them, AND they don't have a specific lesson attached, they would not either one be included in the list of regular degrees.

    I'm not sure why this video popped up on my feed but, it was a good video. I received my Masonic Bible when I took my First Degree back around 1990. I eventually became a Third Degree Master Mason. Around 1995 my father and I had a falling out and that was the last time I went to a lodge meeting. A year later I was laying a sprig of Acacia on my father's casket. Years went by and 13 years ago I moved from NY to Wisconsin. I had a coworker that wanted me to join him at a lodge meeting. I discovered that I was not able to join the lodge in WI because I stopped paying my dues back in NY around 1996. Little did I know that my father had always taken care of my dues up until he passed away. I never once gave it a thought. Until the back dues were resolved from NY, the Wisconsin lodge doesn't want to know me. I made a couple of attempts to contact the lodge in NY but they never replied. At this point I feel like a banished Master Mason. You would think that if the Wisconsin lodge wanted me as a member that they would have done more to help resolve this situation. Either way, I will always look back at those times and remember how wonderful the brothers at that lodge were.

All that aside, if people are upset with you for not sharing that part of the Bible, they are missing the point of what you were trying to present. Which is the Bible is the Holy word of God and was written by men from that inspired word. I guess if you don't show the family tree section of a non-Masonic Bible you're hiding something?
