There are many that believe that Masonry is some secretive type of religion where as the Freemasons vigorously refute this. They will tell you that yes they have a alter which supports the volume of the Sacred Law. Just what this is is not quite clear.

Some temples will tell you that you just have to believe in a supreme being, while others say it is God.

According to Isa. 57:15 he is the high and lofty One that inhabits eternity. He is above, beyond and outside of time. Also he is omnipresent meaning he can dwell in as many places at once as he desires to and that he is not limited to one body like humans are. He does not dwell in a body, he is not a man. Jesus said, ‘God is a Spirit.’ John 4:24. A spirit hath not flesh and bones. He is eternal Spirit. ” No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.” John 1:18. I Timothy 6:16 tells us t hat no man has seen nor can see God. He is an invisible Spirit. The same scripture also tells us that God alone has immortality. To be immortal means that you cannot die nor can you be killed. God is a Spirit and cannot be caught and killed. “Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel: And they saw the God of Israel: and [there was] under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in [his] clearness. And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink.” Exodus 24:9 -11. In one scripture it says ‘they saw the God of Israel’ and in another verse it says ‘no man has seen God at any time.’ This seems like a direct contrad iction, but in reality it is not. In God’s essential being he is an eternal, omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, invisible Spirit and he is ONE. No man has ever seen him in his essential being neither can you see him, but you are able to see the temporary ways he has made himself visible. Men have seen God in his self-revelation. He came to Abraham in the form of Melchisidec, the priest without a father, mother, beginning of days or end of life. Genesis 14:17-20, Hebrews 7:1-11. He also came to Abraham in the form of a prophet in the plains of Mamre. Genesis 18. Jehovah appeared to Moses in the form of an angel in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush that was not consumed by the fire. Exodus 3:2. He led the children of Israel to the promised land by a pillar of fire during the night and a pillar of cloud during the day. Exodus 13:21-22. He also came down and entered into Solomon’s temple of God in the form of fire and it was said that ‘the glory of Jehovah filled the temple.’ 2 Chronicles 7:1 -3. Many other ways did God appear unto men. They were all temporary manifestations. God did not have a closet up in heaven where he kept different costumes. The purpose of the manifestations were in order reveal himself to his elect. The different attributes or (thoughts concerning himself) he expressed were a part of his being. Read More…
