If your life is not in jeopardy for what you
believe, you’re probably on the wrong side!
“Indeed, all who want
to live a godly life united with the Messiah Yeshua will be persecuted.” (2Tim 3:12)
It is what you actually believe that determines how you walk out your faith,
“but avoid stupid controversies, genealogies,
quarrels and fights about the Torah; because they are worthless and
futile.” (Titus 3:9)

Freemasonry vs. the Bible
|
Contents: |
It is an intellectual and spiritual impossibility for anyone who clearly understands the teachings of Freemasonry and the teachings of the Bible to whole-heartedly embrace them both at the same time. While claiming that it “nowhere denies any fundamental doctrine of any religion,” Freemasonry stands diametrically opposed to many Biblical truths that are the very foundation of Biblical faith. In the following quotations, all added emphasis is mine unless otherwise stated.
Freemasonry and Truth
In Freemasonry: Its Aims and Ideals
It [Freemasonry] nowhere denies any fundamental doctrine of any religion, and in consequence experience has shown that a Christian, a Jew, a Hindoo [sic.], and a Mohammedan [Moslem] can all be Masons, and yet remain loyal to their faiths. If there was any real conflict between Masonry and any religion, assuredly it would have arisen with one of these diverse types. In reality, Freemasonry teaches those spiritual truths on which all religions are based and which are common to all, and leaves its sons to add such further embellishments as they themselves consider true and desirable. No religion is endangered by Freemasonry; but, on the other hand, there is no room for bigots in our Order. Each man is entitled to think his conception of the Truth is the best, but he is not entitled to interfere with the conception of the Truth held by another. (p. 186)
This statement alone is a denial of the very central doctrine of true Biblical faith, that Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus the Christ), Israel's Messiah, and He alone, is the only source of God’s Truth. There may be “no room for bigots” in Freemasonry, but the Son of God leaves the one who believes in Him no room to be either complacent or compromising when it comes to “the conception of the Truth.” Concerning “the Truth,” the Bible says:
Yeshua said, “I AM the Way — and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6)
For the Torah was given through Moshe; grace and truth came through Yeshua the Messiah. No one has ever seen God; but the only and unique Son, who is identical with God and is at the Father's side — he has made him known. (John 1:17-18)
But the time is coming — indeed, it's here now — when the true worshippers will worship the Father spiritually and truly, for these are the kind of people the Father wants worshipping him. God is spirit; and worshippers must worship him spiritually and truly. (John 4:23-24)
So Yeshua said to the Judeans who had trusted him, “If you obey what I say, then you are really my talmidim, you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:31-32)
Yeshua replied to them, "If God were your Father, you would love Me; because I came out from God; and now I have arrived here. I did not come on My own; He sent Me. Why don’t you understand what I’m saying? Because you can’t bear to listen to my message. You belong to your father, Satan, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. From the start he was a murderer, and he has never stood by the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he is speaking in character; because he is a liar — indeed, the inventor of the lie! But as for Me, because I tell the truth you don't believe Me. Which one of you can show Me where I'm wrong? If I’m telling the truth, why don’t you believe Me? Whoever belongs to God listens to what God says; the reason you don't listen is that you don't belong to God. (John 8:42-47)
“When the Counselor comes, Whom I will send you from the Father — the Spirit of Truth, Who keeps going out from the Father — He will testify on my behalf. And you testify too, because you have been with me from the outset.” (John 15:26-27)
“So then,” Pilate said to him, “You are a king, after all. ” Yeshua answered, “You say I am a king. The reason I have been born, the reason I have come into the world, is to bear witness to the truth. Every one who belongs to the truth listens to Me.” (John 18:37)
The phrase “Freemasonry teaches those spiritual truths on which all religions are based and which are common to all” is a typical Satanic lie. Like most of Satan’s lies, it is a half-truth that sound good unless one takes the time to listen to what it is really said. The truth is that Freemasonry teaches those spiritual concepts, not truths, on which all human religions are based; and all human religions are based on Satan’s statement in Eden that the rest of Scriptures refers to by the technical term the Lie: “You will not surely die, … your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God ….” (Gen. 3:4-5) This is the antithesis of true Biblical faith, which says that “God is one” (Deut. 6:4). The God of Avraham, Yitzhak, and Ya`akov says:
“You are my witnesses,” says ADONAI, “and My servant whom I have chosen, so that you can know and trust Me and understand that I am He — no god was produced before Me, nor will any be after Me.” (Isa. 43:10)
“… so that those from the east and those from the west will know that there is none besides Me — I am ADONAI; there is no other.” (Isa. 45:6)
“Let them stand and present their case! Indeed, let them take counsel together. Who foretold this long ago, announced it in times gone by? Wasn't it I, ADONAI? There is no other God besides Me, a just God and a Savior; there is none besides Me.” (Isa. 45:21)
“Remember things that happened at the beginning, long ago — that I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me.” (Isa. 46:9)
“You are to have no other gods before me. (Exod. 20:3)
Yeshua said this about the Lie:
“You are of your Father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of it [the Lie].” (John 8:44)

Freemasonry and Salvation
Thirty-second Degree Mason Jirah Dewey Buck [the 32nd degree is the second highest degree in all Freemasonry], writes in his book, Symbolism or Mystic Masonry:
“Every soul must ‘work out its own salvation,’ and ‘take the Kingdom of Heaven by force.’ Salvation by faith and the vicarious atonement were not taught, as now interpreted, by Jesus, nor are these doctrines taught in the exorteric [sic.] Scriptures. They are later and ignorant perversions of the original doctrines. In the Early Church, as in the Secret Doctrine, there was not one Christ for the whole world, but a potential Christ in every man. Theologians first made a fetish of the Impersonal, Omnipresent Divinity; and then tore the Christos from the hearts of all humanity in order to deify Jesus; that they might have a God-man peculiarly their own!” (p. 57).
Ward agrees with Buck:
“Freemasonry, in practice, teaches that all good men, whatever their personal beliefs, have a right to hope for salvation” (pp. 186-187).
Does the Bible agree with Freemasonry that that “all good men have a right to hope for salvation,” or does it teach that there is one, and only one, Source of salvation for all men?
… then let it be known to you and to all the people of Isra'el that it is in the name of the Messiah, Yeshua from Natzeret, whom you had executed on a stake as a criminal but whom God has raised from the dead, that this man stands before you perfectly healed. This Yeshua is the stone rejected by you builders which has become the cornerstone. There is salvation in no one else! For there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by whom we must be saved!” (Acts 4:10-12)
You people don't know what you are worshipping; we worship what we do know, because salvation comes from the Jews. But the time is coming — indeed, it's here now — when the true worshippers will worship the Father spiritually and truly, for these are the kind of people the Father wants worshipping him. God is spirit; and worshippers must worship Him spiritually and truly. (John 4:22-24)
What, then, does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart.” That is the word about trust which we proclaim, namely, that if you acknowledge publicly with your mouth that Yeshua is Lord and trust in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be delivered. For with the heart one goes on trusting and thus continues toward righteousness, while with the mouth one keeps on making public acknowledgement and thus continues toward deliverance. For the passage quoted says that everyone who rests his trust on Him will not be humiliated. (Rom. 10:8-11)
This is why I [Yeshua] said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not trust that I AM[1] [who I say I am], you will die in your sins. (John 8:24)
For God has not intended that we should experience his fury, but that we should gain deliverance through our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, Who died on our behalf so that whether we are alive or dead, we may live along with Him. (1 Thess. 5:9-10)
But we have to keep thanking God for you always, brothers whom the Lord loves, because God chose you as firstfruits for deliverance by giving you the holiness that has its origin in the Spirit and the faithfulness that has its origin in the truth. (2 Thess. 2:13)
And after He had been brought to the goal, He [Messiah, the Great High Priest] became the source of eternal deliverance to all who obey Him, since He had been proclaimed by God as a Cohen Gadol [High Priest] to be compared with Malki-Tzedek. [King of Righteousness]. (Heb. 5:9-10)
Just as human beings have to die once, but after this comes judgment, so also the Messiah, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but to deliver those who are eagerly waiting for Him. (Heb. 9:27-28)
After these things, I heard what sounded like the roar of a huge crowd in heaven, shouting, “Halleluyah! [Praise ADONAI] The victory, the glory, the power of our God! For His judgments are true and just. He has judged the great whore who corrupted the earth with her whoring. He has taken vengeance on her who has the blood of His servants on her hands.” (Rev. 19:1-2)

Freemasonry and Wisdom
In Symbolism or Mystic Masonry Buck also states:
“To know God is the Supreme Wisdom.” It will be urged by modern Theologians that this view dethrones Christ. To this objection the answer is that any other view orphans Humanity. It is far more important that men should strive to become Christs than that they should believe that Jesus was Christ. If the Christ-state can be attained by but one human being during the whole evolution of the race, then the evolution of man is a farce and human perfection an impossibility” (p. 62).
The “wisdom” of Freemasonry is the “evolution of man” from a pool of primordial slime to the perfection of deity—“becoming a Christ.” This false doctrine is know as the deification of humanity, and it is the core philosophy of Mormonism, Hinduism, Secular Humanism, and the current New Age movement. Concerning this form of wisdom, the Bible says:
For I am not ashamed of the Good News, since it is God’s powerful means of bringing salvation to everyone who keeps on trusting, to the Jew especially, but equally to the Gentile. For in it is revealed how God makes people righteous in his sight; and from beginning to end it is through trust — as the Tanakh [the Hebrew Bible] puts it, “But the person who is righteous will live his life by trust.” What is revealed is God’s anger from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people who in their wickedness keep suppressing the truth; because what is known about God is plain to them, since God has made it plain to them. For ever since the creation of the universe His invisible qualities — both His eternal power and His divine nature — have been clearly seen, because they can be understood from what he has made. Therefore, they have no excuse; because, although they know who God is, they do not glorify Him as God or thank Him. On the contrary, they have become futile in their thinking; and their undiscerning hearts have become darkened. Claiming to be wise, they have become fools! In fact, they have exchanged the glory of the immortal God for mere images, like a mortal human being, or like birds, animals or reptiles! This is why God has given them up to the vileness of their hearts’ lusts, to the shameful misuse of each other’s bodies. They have exchanged the truth of God for falsehood, by worshipping and serving created things, rather than the Creator — praised be He for ever. Amen. (Rom. 1:16-25)
“You are My witnesses,” says ADONAI, “and My servant whom I have chosen, so that you can know and trust Me and understand that I AM[2] [He]. No god was produced before Me, nor will any be after Me. I, yes I, am ADONAI; besides Me there is no deliverer. (Isa. 43:10-11)
See now that I, yes, I AM[2] [He]; and there is no god beside me. I put to death, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal; no one saves anyone from My hand! (Deut. 32:39)
“[H]as a nation ever exchanged its gods (and theirs are not gods at all!)? Yet My people have exchanged their Glory for something without value. Be aghast at this, you heavens! Shudder in absolute horror!” says ADONAI. “For My people have committed two evils: they have abandoned Me, the fountain of living water, and dug themselves cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water! (Jer. 2:11-13)
[ADONAI says:] “Why should I forgive you? Your people have abandoned Me and sworn by non-gods. When I fed them to the full, they committed adultery, thronging to the brothels.” (Jer. 5:7)
[ADONAI says:] “Can a person make himself gods? (In fact they aren't gods at all.) Therefore, I will make them know, once and for all, I will make them know my power and my might. Then they will know that My name is ADONAI.” (Jer. 16:20-21)
Still, I am ADONAI your God, from the land of Egypt; and you don't know any God but Me or, other than Me, any Savior. (Hosea 13:4)
Wherever did humanity get the idea that men could become gods? They learned it from the Father of Lies:
The serpent said to the woman, “It is not true that you will surely die; because God knows that on the day you eat from it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” (Gen. 3:4-5)

Freemasonry and Satan-Worship
C. W. Leadbeater 33° [a 33rd Degree Mason]
writes in The Hidden Life in Freemasonry
“The number of swings given to each of the non-official Brn. [Brethren] indicates his particular rank in the Order, for the degrees of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite are taken into account in Co-Masonry. Each thus receives the influence he needs, that he may be strengthened for the work which his rank qualifies him to do. Each Bro. [Brother], as he is censed, bows out of respect, and as a token that he dedicates all the force that he has to T.G.A.O.T.U. [The Grand Architect of the Universe]. The S.D. [Senior Deacon] is the Lucifer, who bears the light to his fellow-men. The light having been given to him from the Sacred Fire by the I.P.M. [Immediate Past Master], he carries it to the R.W.M [Right Worshipful Master], who by means of a smaller taper lights from it the tall candle standing on his right, and then puts out his taper with an extinguisher. He must not blow it out, because that would suggest the pollution of the sacred fire by the breath, which is unclean. It is for the same reason that the Parsis, who are sometimes called fire-worshipers, because they regard that element as the greatest symbol and expression of the divine, will on no account pollute it with refuse. The R.W.M. says: ‘May the light of wisdom illumine our work’ (here he lights his candle): ‘His wisdom is infinite.’” (pp. 132-133)
Manley Palmer Hall 33° (Scottish Rite),
states in his book The Lost Keys of Freemasonry
“When the Mason learns that the key to the warrior on the block is the proper application of the dynamo of living power, he has learned the mystery of his Craft. The seething energies of Lucifer are in his hands and before he may step onward and upward, he must prove his ability to properly apply energy.” (p. 48)
From their own official writings comes irrefutable evidence that (at least) the upper echelon of Freemasonry is worshipping Lucifer (Satan). Probably the single-most damning statement is from Albert Pike as recorded by Lady Queenborough (Edith Starr Miller) in her Occult Theocracy.
“The theological dogma of Albert Pike is explained in the ‘Instructions’ issued by him, on July 14, 1889, to the 23 Supreme Councils of the world and have been recorded by A. C. DeLaRive in La Femme et l'Enfante dan la Franc-Macconerie Univeselle (page 588) from which book we translate and quote as follows:
‘That which we must say to the crowd is — We worship a god, but it is the god that one adores without superstition. To you, Sovereign Grand Inspectors General, we say this, that you may repeat it to the Brethren of the 32nd, 31st, and 30th degrees — The Masonic religion should be, by all of us initiates of the high degrees, maintained in the purity of the Lucifereian doctrine. If Lucifer were not god, would Adonay[3] (the God of the Christians) whose deeds prove his cruelty, perfidy, and hatred of man, barbarism and repulsion for science, would Adonay and his priests calumniate him? Yes, Lucifer is god, and unfortunately Adonay is also God. For the eternal law is that there is no light without shade, no beauty without ugliness, no white without black, for the absolute can only exist as two gods: darkness being necessary to light to serve as its foil as the pedestal is necessary to the statue, and the brake to the locomotive. In analogical and universal dynamics one can only lean on that which will resist.
Thus the universe is balanced by two forces which maintain its equilibrium: the force of attraction and that of repulsion. These two forces exit in physics, philosophy and religion. And the scientific reality of the divine dualism is demonstrated by the phenomena of polarity and by the universal law of sympathies and antipathies. That is why the intelligent disciples of Zoroaster, as well as, after them, the Gnostics, the Manicheans and the Templars have admitted, as the only logical metaphysical conception, the system of the two divine principles fighting eternally, and one cannot believe the one inferior in power to the other. Thus, the doctrine of Satanism is a heresy; and the true and pure philosophic religion is the belief in Lucifer, the equal of Adonay; but Lucifer, god of Light and god of Good, is struggling for humanity against Adonay, the God of Darkness and Evil.’
One must not lose sight of the fact that Pike occupied simultaneously the positions of Grand Master of the Central Directory of Washington, that of Grand Commander of the Supreme Council of Charleston and that of Sovereign Pontiff of Universal Freemasonry.” (pp. 220-221)
George H. Steinmetz,
another high-ranking Mason, writes in his book Freemasonry: Its Hidden Meaning
“Until one ‘seeks’ and finds that deeper meaning and applies it spiritually Masonry is not religion. It becomes religion only to him who finds religion in it, to others it remains but ritual, and a best a system of morals.” (p. 18)
Further on, Steinmetz explains the use of astrology along with the teaching of evolution, reincarnation [souls of the dead returning to earth in new forms or bodies, Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, p. 713] and karma [fixing one's lot in future existence, destiny, Webster's, p. 459] in Masonry's doctrine.[4]
“As we today understand the meaning of ‘Astrology,’ it is the science by which the effect of the celestial bodies upon human affairs is determined [Horoscope]. Obviously it is ‘Astrology’ and not ‘Astronomy’ which is recommended to the Mason as a subject of study. I say ‘obviously’ because the ancient secret doctrine, which is concealed in Masonic allegory and symbolism, teaches Evolution as surely as Darwin ever taught it; Reincarnation and the Law of Necessity or Karma, which are included in, and are a part of the teaching of scientific astrology. Neither need the Christian Mason shudder on being told Masonry embraces such teaching. If he feels any repugnance at the thought it is because those who today profess those teachings, such as the Buddist [sic.] and the Hindu, have distorted these Divine truths as greatly as Christianity has [distorted] the sublime teaching of the Master Jesus.”[5] There is no NEW religion. There is but ONE RELIGION. The ancient Hebrew believed in evolution, reincarnation, and karma, as well as astrology … It was but to preserve these truths for ‘future generations’ that Masonry itself was perpetuated.” (pp. 123-124).
Further, Steinmetz relates man to the I AM[6] by stating:
“Of all the material creation man alone can declare ‘I AM.’ But those words are far more than a declaration of a material fact. To so declare is recognition of consciousness — a statement of recognized individuality. An AFFIRMATION OF DIVINITY — for ONLY God, and man, made in His image, can declare ‘I AM.’[7] Not in the mere statement, but rather in the complete realization of its implications, is the power we seek, for it is an affirmation of immortality. … The entire object of Freemasonry is to inculcate such thinking. For when followed to its logical conclusion it is discovered that Freemasonry is not a lodge, not a ritual, but a plan for the loving of life.” (p. 157)

Freemasonry’s Immorality
Albert Mackey, a 33rd-Degree Mason who
compiled a monumental work on Masonry entitled
Encyclopedia of Freemasonry
“Phallic Worship. The Phallus was a sculptured representation of the membrum virile, or male organ of generation; and the worship of it is said to have originated in Egypt … The Phallus, therefore, as the symbol of the male generative principle, was very universally venerated among the ancients, and that too as a religious rite … But the Phallus, or, as it was called among the Orientalists [sic.], the Lingam, was a representation of the male principle only. To perfect the circle of generation, it is necessary to advance one step farther. Accordingly we find in the Cteis of the Greeks, and the Yoni of the Indians, a symbol of the female generative principle of coextensive prevalence with the Phallus. The Cteis was a circular and concave pedestal, or receptacle, on which the Phallus or column rested and from the center of which it sprang. The union of these two, as the generative and the producing principles of nature, in one compound figure, was the most usual mode of representation. And here, I think, we undoubtedly find the remote origin of the point with in the circle, an ancient symbol which was first adopted by the old sun-worshipers, and then by the ancient astronomers, as a symbol of the sun surrounded by the earth or the universe — the sun as the generator and the earth as the producer — and afterward modified in its signification and incorporated into the symbolism of Freemasonry” (p. 560)
Master Masons’ secret oaths state, “Furthermore, that I will not have illicit carnal intercourse with a brother Master Mason's wife, his mother, sister or daughter, I knowing them to be such, nor suffer it to be done by others, if in my power to prevent” (Freemasonry, p. 8). How about those who are not Masons, or if they do not know them to be Masons? Fornication and adultery are not condemned, but only given certain restrictions.

Conclusion
Membership, partnership, or fellowship with any of the works of darkness is forbidden by God’s Word.
Do not yoke yourselves together in a team with unbelievers. For how can righteousness and lawlessness be partners? What fellowship does light have with darkness? What harmony can there be between the Messiah and B'liya'al? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What agreement can there be between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God - as God said, “I will house myself in them, … and I will walk among you. I will be their God, and they will be my people.” Therefore ADONAI says, “Go out from their midst; separate yourselves; don’t even touch what is unclean. Then I myself will receive you. In fact, I will be your Father, and you will be my sons and daughters.” says ADONAI -Tzva'ot. [LORD of Hosts] (2 Cor. 6:14-18)
Light cannot fellowship with darkness. Christ cannot fellowship with the Devil. Believers in Messiah simply cannot be a part of the Devil’s Lodge.
You can't drink both a cup of the Lord and a cup of demons, you can't partake in both a meal of the Lord and a meal of demons. (1 Cor. 10:21)

Eminent Witnesses Against Freemasonry
“Masonry originated with the Devil and will end with the Devil.” (Peter Cartwright)
“In my opinion, the imposition of such obligation as Freemasonry requires should be prohibited by law.” (Daniel Webster)
“I am prepared to complete the demonstration before God and man, that the Masonic oaths, obligations and penalties cannot by any possibility be reconciled with the laws of morality, of Christianity, or of the land.” (President John Quincy Adams)
“I do not see how any Christian, most of all a Christian minister, can go into these secret lodges with unbelievers. Do not do evil that good may come. You can never reform anything by unequally yoking yourself with ungodly men.” (Dwight L. Moody)

1. In almost all English translations of the Apostolic Scriptures (B'rit Chadasha, the Renewed Covenant, or so-called “New Testament”), this phrase is incorrectly translated as “unless you believe that I am he.” The word he does not appear in the Greek version of the Apostolic Scriptures from which most English Bibles are translated; the word he is an editorial edition that is included to try to “explain” the verse, but that addition leads to the omission of a vitally important truth. Many falsely say that Yeshua never claimed to be the Messiah, and that He never claimed to be God. In the Greek version, what Yeshua says is, “unless you believe that ego eime, you will die in your sins.” The words ego eime literally translate as I AM, the Name by which ADONAI revealed Himself to Moshe from the burning bush.
"Moshe said to God, “Look, when I appear before the people of Isra'el and say to them, ‘The God of your ancestors has sent me to you’; and they ask me, “What is His name?” what am I to tell them?” God said to Moshe, “Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh [I AM who I AM (or I will be Who I will be)],” and added, “Here is what to say to the people of Isra'el: ‘Ehyeh [I AM (or I will be)] has sent me to you.’” God said further to Moshe, "Say this to the people of Isra'el: 'Yud-Heh-Vav-Heh [ADONAI], the God of your fathers, the God of Avraham, the God of Yitz'chak and the God of Ya'akov, has sent me to you.’ This is My name forever; this is how I am to be remembered generation after generation. (Exod. 3:13-15)
What Yeshua actually said was, unless you believe that I AM ADONAI, the God of your fathers, the God of Avraham, the God of Yitzchak, and the God of Ya`akov, you will die in your sins.” [RETURN]

3. “Adonay” (usually spelled Adonai) is commonly misunderstood and used, usually by Cultists and other pagans, as one of the Names of God. The word is actually not a name but a title, a transliteration of the Hebrew equivalent of the English word “Lord.” God’s proper Name (insofar as it can be soaid that HsShem has a personal name) revealed to us in the Sacred Text is represented by the four letters hwhy (YHWH), called the tetragrammaton, and translates into English, in its simplest form, as “I AM.” In obedience to the Commandment “You shall not take the name of hwhy your God in vain” (Exodus 20:7), when praying or reading the Scriptures aloud, the Jews adopted the practice of substituting the word “Lord,” or “Adonai,” for the Sacred Name. In this way they were able to avoid the risk of mispronouncing the Sacred Name. This practice continues in most English translations where the Sacred Name is represented by the word “LORD in small capital letters. [RETURN]

5. “The Master Jesus” does not refer to Yeshua (Jesus) of Nazareth, the eternal only begotten Son of God. Rather “the Master Jesus” is a term which is used by Muslims, Hindus, numerous cults (the I AM, Ascended Masters, and New Age cults in particular), and occult groups to describe theoretical, but non-existent, merely mortal Jew who supposedly lived in the first century, and who they claim was probably of the Essene sect [the Essenes collected the Dead Sea Scrolls]. After mastering the occult secrets and witchcraft of the Kabala [a body of occult knowledge documented by ancient heretical and idolatrous Jews], he went to India for several years (sometime between the ages of 13 and 30) where he studied at the feet of the Buddhist and Hindu masters until he also mastered their occult “magical” practices. It was this occult knowledge which enabled him to heal the sick, levitate (giving the appearance of walking on water and ascending into the air), and materialize through solid walls. He became the first human to fully attain “Christ-consciousness” and thereby become divine. See Matt. 24:5, 23-24; Mark 13:21-23; 2 Cor. 11:3-4, 13-15; 1 Tim. 6:3-4; Gal. 1:6-9. [RETURN]
