... If you are a Mason, or are thinking of becoming one... If you are not a Mason, but want to understand Masonry in the light of Christianity and the Bible... If you are a Christian, and you think Masonry is completely compatible with Bible-believing ChristianityThis book is for you.Using quotations from the official publications of Masonry, author David Daniels will help you to find out what Masonry teaches, compared to what the Bible says. For Christians, the Bible is our only reliable source to learn who God is, and what He wants for us, including how to get our sins forgiven and have eternal life in heaven with Him. You must be able to answer this question with confidence and understanding: "Should a Christian be a Mason?" To do that, we need to find out these things:... Where did Masonry come from?... What do Masons believe?... Who can we trust for our information?... Who is God, according to these trusted authorities?... Is the God of the Bible the same as the god of Masonry?By the end of this book you will be able to answer these questions for yourself.From the AuthorThis is not a book I wanted to write. This is a book I felt I had to write.Lots of other books make sensational claims from obscure texts and questionable authorities. This book just takes obvious information from readily-available books by Masons, for the most part, and checks what these authoritative Masons say against what the Bible says.It is simple and systematic, asking the same questions any Christian should ask before joining a club or group, much less a "society of secrets" like Masonry.The one controversial element is one I was originally going to leave out: about something called the "Baphomet." I had a theory of my own for three years, but had no proof to back my suspicion... until the night before I was going to submit the manuscript. Then I came across English translations of the very occultist I suspected of influencing a well-known Masonic authority--and what I found astounded me. I had to add a whole section to the book to share my findings.I invite you to come to your own conclusions. You are welcome to read the same materials I did, and compare them to the Bible. Then you will be better informed to answer the question for yourself: Should a Christian be a Mason? God bless you as you read.About the AuthorDavid Daniels, B.A., M.Div., is trained in Bible and linguistics. He is currently Research Consultant for Chick Publications.
