The Secret Teachings of the Masonic Lodge

Absolutely fascinating. This is probably the fourth copy that I have owned of this book because I keep giving them away. A must read for people who know freemasons or have family members who are freemasons. Very easy read and good documentation/sources.

Excellent Challenge to Masonry

In my humble opinion, Ankerberg and Weldon have produced a well-written book with clear statements of what masons believe and how their beliefs directly contradict true Christianity.In maintaining intellectual honesty, I researched some of the masonic quotes the authors referenced and found them to be accurate and not taken out of context. A true Christian with a solid Biblical foundation will readily see the conflict between Christianity and freemasonry. Sadly, those who give the book a low rating fail to counter with substantative arguments of their own as to how Christianity and freemasonry complement one another. Admittingly, I come from the perspective of an evangelical Christian. However, as stated earlier, one only has to read the book, research the masonic sources, and compare to the Holy Bible to see the contradictions (Jesus Christ's divinity, salvation, sin, etc.). A highly recommended read for anyone wanting to know the truth about freemasonry. As for those masons who are offended, please develop some cohesive arguments as to why freemasonry is equal to or greater than Christianity!

The TRUTH will set you free...

I bought this book because I wanted the biblical truth on the Masonic lodge. That is what this book provides...biblical truth. That is why it is so offensive to the Masonic community. Darkness hates light. Thank God for people like John Ankerberg and John Weldon who are willing to stand up and tell the truth. May those who sincerely seek God's truth about the Lodge see the light and not be blinded by the satanic teachings of the Masonic Lodge.

Well documented/researched work on this cult

The lodge cannot call itself Christian, since by its very nature does not follow Christ. To say that a Christian can and is a Mason is a contradiction. Jesus Himself decries such double-mindedness. How many times and ways did He say it so clearly: Either you're for me or against me! You cannot worship at demons' table and then at the Lord's table. Etc., etc.In our postmodern world which doesn't want to accept any absolute truth whatsoever, masonism plays well. More so likely though is the love of power and wealth that comes from being in a good ole boys club that takes care of its own. We always get nailed by someone asking about all the good they do: the Shriner's hospitals, etc. Again, Christians will run it through the Bible to see if it will stand the test of God's Word: "Without faith it is impossible to please God." "Apart from me (attached to Jesus and His salvation by faith) you can do nothing." (John 15:5) This is the judgment that all good works oriented souls without saving faith in Christ Jesus alone will bring upon them for eternity unless they repent of this mistakenness and turn to Christ for forgiveness.Ankerberg's book aids this by being a strong apologetic showing the unchristian nature of this religion.

One of the best books written on the Masonic cult!

Ankerberg and Weldon have thoroughly researched the facts to reveal that Freemasonry is simply another cult. The highly occultic practices of the lodge are exposed, including the pagan rituals and bloody oaths taken by the initiates. A must read for all Christians, especially those who are members of the lodge!
