Freemasonary

Freemasonry, as an organized fraternal group, does not have a direct reference in the Bible, nor is it explicitly mentioned in biblical texts. Instead, Freemasonry emerged in the late 16th to early 17th centuries, long after the biblical canon was established. The movement is characterized by its rituals, symbols, and moral teachings, which draw on various historical and philosophical traditions rather than directly from the Scriptures.However, some critics of Freemasonry point to biblical passages that emphasize the importance of faith in God and the necessity of adhering to Christian doctrine, arguing that Freemasonry's secretive nature and its inclusion of diverse beliefs may conflict with biblical teachings. For instance, passages like 2 Corinthians 6:14, which warns against being unequally yoked with unbelievers, are often cited in discussions about the compatibility of Freemasonry and Christian faith. Ultimately, while Freemasonry itself is not a biblical concept, its principles and practices can be evaluated through a biblical lens regarding their alignment with Christian beliefs and values.
