Description

Masons establish and maintain children's hospitals, provide free medical treatment to needy children, work actively in their communities, and promote high moral standards. Unfortunately, these activities do not reveal the true religious nature of Masonry. Did you know Masons...

• remove the name of Jesus from their rituals and Bible readings to avoid offending anyone?
• must, as part of their initiation, proclaim they are in darkness and seek Masonic "light"- even if they already have the true light of Jesus?
• have a secret name for God that combines Jehovah with the pagan deities Baal and Osiris?

Noted researcher and Bible scholar Ron Rhodes explains the occultic symbolism, secret oaths, and hidden rituals of Masonic tradition, and shows where they conflict with Scripture. This easy-to-follow guide covers the Masonic Lodge's basic practices and provides straightforward suggestions you can use to lead Masons back to biblical Christianity. (From back cover.)
