What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul- Jesus Christ.

“For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.” - Luke 8:17 (KJV)

Yeah, as for me, I love my Christianity and faith in God. He doesn't tell me to keep secrets but to go and tell everyone of the GOOD NEWS... Amen!

My uncle was a member for decades. His brother mentioned how he was involved. I asked my uncle about it and he gave me a scripted response. My uncle always told me everything. Really weird that he was mum on this. He passed away last year. He gave a grandson his masonic ring and the lodge paid his funeral in full. Even had a masonic coffin. From that day on I've been so interested in knowing why and how they did all this. My other uncle (his brother) swore it was a cult, as he was in it for a short time. He left saying it wasn't for him.

The comments of any video about Freemasons is more entertaining than the video itself

"I did not know I was a slave until I found out that I CANNOT DO the things I wanted." -- Frederick Douglas

An excellent history and understanding. Thank you

I was little boy in Langford BC Canada in the late 60's-70's ! my grandfather was British and was a engineer in WW-2 there was a masonic hall in R very small town ! I was told by my mother he was a very high senior member ! this subject was never talked about at all ! when I was about 7 we walked by the lodge and I asked him why there's never people there ! he told me there the watchers from England ! to take care of us ! I said why ! he smiled and said ask you R favoring why?

My dad was a freemason and so is my uncle.. when I was about 15 or 16 he gave me the black book to look at as I flicked through it was just verses like the bible but when I got to the centre it had pictures of the Egyptian gods like ra I said what's all that about and he just took the book off me and said I could join when I was 18.. I gave a quick no thanks dad you told me not to be in gangs 🙄

"Meaning cannot be maintained unless boundaries are upheld and definable forms kept separate from each other."

I prefer the basic accurate description that Masons are a fraternity of good men helping each other become better men.

My dad is a Freemason, old man now but won’t tell me or anyone more. I have a doorbell and I know it’s him because he knocks 3 times. I’ve tried so hard to get more info about his time (he’s nearly 80) but he won’t. It’s very mysterious.

When we were about 13 four of us went in the mysterious local/ lodge church or whatever it was called back when nobody locked their doors, we thought it was the KKK or something weird and that they did human sacrifices, they had an altar type thing with three thrones in there, we played around and when people pulled into the parking lot we hid under those chairs, the legs were wrapped with cloth. A few guys were milling about and when they went into the back room we took off running out the front door, they chased us down the street to the creek and we escaped.🤣🤣🤣 Old guys too out of shape to catch us one guy looked like Boss Hogg, It was spooky.

I don’t trust a single person on this earth anymore. How can I trust what this guy is saying? I trust God. That is it.

I heard the eastern star were the womens group. The rainbows was the group for the teenage girls. And the demolays was the group for the teenage boys. When I was a sophomore in early 1960s I was "rushed" to join the rainbow girls,but didn't know anything about any of that but my dad told me no. Don't know what my dad knew if anything,he just didn't think that was necessary.

Really good video on revealing to me some points on this. My nephew told me that he joined the Freemasons and with that, l became curious as to what he does there! Oh, I'm not interested in joining but don't favor his decision much either.

Great video thank you

Ezekiel 8:12 (KJV) Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth. Ezekiel 8:16 (KJV) And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD'S house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east. Their Abominations have persisted.

Great Explanation!

It's like you ask a team that make conspiracies if it's true,they will deny it and they will show you proof that they are good.

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

Very well done video which is very informative. Thank you so much for sharing!

Thank you for your work, ..I don't have nothing to do tonight ... kinda bored. I guess I'll see what's up with this.. 😊

Official history says that the people of France donated the statue of liberty to America, to celebrate friendship, a century of freedom, etc. the fact is that French people did not know about it, France was in a deep financial crisis then; It was the freemasonic government who ‘donated’ the statue, thus cementing their universal brotherhood of men!!! Bartholdi, Eiffel, etc. were all freemason brothers

You never know how rich you can be until you see what the rich have stolen from you ! Nietzsche

Great presentation!

This is extremely informative. Thank you

Great video

One could, of course, reach a better understanding of the situation by not only questioning others’ beliefs but also putting one’s convictions to skeptical scrutiny,

Awesome video very educative and well expressed.

That was a very neat ending 👏🙌 Thank you!

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

The Freemasons - never forget some of their members, from "Kramer" on Seinfeld to John Wayne, davy Crocket, Geo Washington and sooooooo many politicians, doctors, actors, musicians, poets, war heroes...

Psalm 133: How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron's beard, down upon the collar of his robes. It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. 1 Corinthians 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. Wisdom 8:7 And if one prizes righteousness, the fruits of her labors are virtues. For she teaches temperance and prudence, justice and fortitude, and nothing in life is of more value for men than these.

Thanks for this video. Very good

Self taught is the most reliant & trustworthy way to gain wisdom, not from another man teaching u to walk backwards for decades at a time! Time will always repeat itself 🤔

Thank you, this is very informative and well organized. My father was a free mason for quite a long time but I never understood what it really was and he never elaborated upon it. The symbol with a G in the middle is vividly in my memory, he had a ring with a blue stone bearing that symbol in the center. I find it interesting considering my parents are from Bosnia/Croatia and catholicism is prominent, especially in my family yet free mason beliefs are incompatible and a grave sin according to the church. Considering his quality of character in my youth, I don't have a good impression of what he actually learned from the lodges he attended. It was by any means a priority for personal wealth all the way to the end. Thanks again for the overview

Excellent video!!!

What an incredibly educated man!! Thank you for this..

Absolutely brilliant video covering some of the more challenging topics and aspects of The Craft - largely historically on point, exceedingly evenhanded and levelheaded presentation! Bravo!

Thankyou for that informative video, it was very interesting.

Thanks 🙏 for the explanation 😊

This is probably the best video about Freemasonry on KZfaq

Very great, well researched and analysed presentation.

For those interested, please read The Hiram Key by Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas.

Why do they call themselves free when they have to hide away?

Great video. I’m currently reading Manly P. Hall’s book The Secret Teachings Of All Ages. Very interesting book, he describes secret societies, like the Masons, as having a exoteric and esoteric sides of the organization. Basically, the normal and the secret side.

It’s an easy connection from geometry and “magical seals” - regarding spheres of influence within a system, whether astrology / keys of Solomon / degrees of Kevin Bacon / consciousness / science - just seemed like it was mentioned without any contemplation of significance.

This video reminds me of the time I thought about joining the Democratic Party.

You were the most accurate person I learned from since 1988

People see, what they want to see, and believe, what they want to believe. A fine Way to exit a Well made video 👏

Min. 8: The original Mason Masters have never been only "craftsmen", but carried millenium old knowledge about space shaping and mindset creating through the means of consciously constructed architecture. Look at the gothic cathedrals or the egyptian temples: They're buildt to uplift humans into divine realms! Their builders were highly skilled priests of holy stonework!

They are so full of rituals and vows. A lot of people are clueless and wrong about them.

It's so very much entertaining listening to the " knowledgeable " "experts in Freemasonry "

Thank You for the information

He goes hard on the "h's". Its like family guy with "cool hhhwhhhip". Love it. Thanks for the information.

Rituals that curse their bloodline has disturbing and devastating effects .

Idries Shah gives an excellent dissertation on the origins of Freemasonry as an ancient Order of Sufi, revived in the eighth century by the mysterious Sufi mystic Dhul-Nun, in his book "The Sufis". Many of the symbols of Freemasonry, such as the checkerboard carpet, are commonly used in other Sufi traditions, confirming the connection.

Lavish B was here , blessed like always .

Nice piece of deep research

I think masonry is about building temples, especially one built without hands and not a sound heard. I think the symbols are for that purpose, but i do not belong to any masonic lodges, so i would be what he called a cowan. I saw one picture of a woman crying over a broken collum and an ancient old man standing behind her. Still trying to figure that out. I had a couple of uncles that were masons but would not tell me anything about it. One uncle did say one time that when one was situated in the light that their was no darkness. I was just a child then. He is dead now, i really miss him, he was a great man. Anyway i think you should meet a man on the level and part on the square. But what do i know, my ignorance is the greatest thing about me. AUM- Ruach Adonai

I could listen to this dude talk all day

How can I get this information in documents form and if possible a PowerPoint presentation? It's very important to me!

Thanks for this concise, and very interesting video on this subject. My Dad was a Freemason in Pasadena, CA. My Sister said that one of the members had a house fire, and lost everything. She said Dad asked her, and my other Sister, to pick a good toy to have him take as a helping present for this member's family who lost all. I liked the fact that his lodge played the bagpipes at his funeral. I still cannot listen to Amazing Grace at all, especially on bagpipes. I do love bagpipes however. Thanks, cheers.

freemasonry is a craft, like witchcraft is a craft. jesus said 'i preached openly in the temple' and said things like 'who puts a light under a bed, and not on a hill so that all can see?'

This is a well presented, neutral and balanced introduction to a very deep subject. This documentary provides a good foundation base for any student wishing to start a deeper investigation of the subject or a particular strand mentioned. One missing element is the spurious connection with Druidry as many lodges in the UK take druidic names, but otherwise, excellent. Thank you.

I have great grandfathers who were masons, possibly others in the past. One quit in his old age after he became a Christian, and warned me not to join. He gave me an old book written by an ex 33rd degree Scottish Rite member. I read it and it was interesting. Basically it said the masons are actually satanic. My great grandpa was a past Worshipful master of the blue lodge, and knight templar, plus he was in Demolay as a young man. He had regalia, member ring, and many certificates he showed me. He said the masons are actually anti Christian, but most dont know until you get deep into it. His life long friends and members no longer would talk to him after he left. Ive always had an interest in freemasonry since I was a kid and so ive researched the organization for years. I dont see much wrong with it, except for a few reasons. They teach religious indifference or universalism, anti christian rituals with blood oaths, and are too strict on who can join, keeping out many would be members due to any kind of criminal record and they keep secrets that arent worth anything. Otherwise they are great lol.

We need this for women, desperately seeking brotherhood sisterhood especially at this paticular time in life. Maybe this reminds me of meetings

The secrets of Freemasonry only come to those who do the work. You can't read them from a book, bideo, etc.. If you don't do the work, there is no secret to be learned, nothing to be gained. Read all you want, watch all the videos, but the real secrets are only unearthed by those in the brotherhood doing the work.. Unfortunately, there are lots of brothers not doing the work these days, but I do sense a change as younger men with inquisitive minds and a passion for learning are joining more frequently.

My Dad was a mason. He had well meaning Christian trying to convert him from the evils of Masonry. It made my skin crawl. All my dad would say is “you don’t know what you are talking about.” Is my father in hell? I hope not. My hope is in Christ. This is a good explanation of free masonry. Of course he never revealed any of the rituals to me. I never understood it. He would only discuss morals and principles for life. He was a good man and an excellent father.

@1:17. One thing which is "conspicuous by it's absence" here. It is ALSO explained that the physical penalties explain re the throat, tongue etc, are NO LONGER NECESSARY as the obligation taken is binding upon him for as long as he shall live.

Informative video

Wow, the comment section is damn near more intriguing than the video 🙂🍿😳🤯😱

Intelligent fluent presentation. Thank you

Great this information is something I have wished for over the years

When I was a young man I'd kid Freemasons friends about why I'd never join a secret group like them . I'd ask "how do I know I am not joining a group like the K K K if you don't know ahead if time? What if I get in and can't get out? " Of course I knew better but it was fun.

This is a well-researched, objective, and even handed treatment of freemasonryhistory. Just what I was looking for!!! Thank you!!!!!

His definition of "Secret Society" would include most marriages.

This video was informative and actually brought some clarity to disinformation about the lodge. People fear and distrust what they don't know or misunderstand.

This topic would be a great mini series in the style of Game of Thrones

Everyone should watch the jimmy kimmel interview he did with Jim cary 6 years ago, Jim exposed it. But everyone thought he was nuts

This is crazy.. ive seen people w rings hats and everything and I always check them and they just laugh never go into detail

So helpful.

I wouldn't call it secret anymore bc people are starting to see exactly what they are all about.

🤣😂🤣 yep, every phrase, every idea, everything you said is the truth. Please keep spreading the light. 👍🏻

I really appreciate your well researched lectures. You are a great Professor.

I really like how certain parts of the initiation description are incorrect. very close.. but not exact.

The way secret things are are of a spiritual nature. Ephesians 6:12. Praise God through Jesus pray for me and pray against the kingdom of darkness and witchcraft and secret covens

My father died of cancer forty-three years ago. He was only forty-six and a thirty-second degree freemason. During his six month rapid decline to death, they were around all the time, giving financial and emotional support. When he died, his whole family died; that is, to the masons, we were no longer of interest. They didn't take care of my mother at all, in any shape, many, or form, nor did any one of them become a role model to me, a twelve year old boy. They stopped all association with us. I quickly learned that I wanted no part of a group of supposed Christian men who abandoned us. I will always respect my father, for he was a hard-working, Christian brick-layer and tile-setter who loved us, but, with all respect to him, he was associated with a group of people and an organization that should be ashamed of themselves. God has steered my life and given me strength and opportunity to be successful and a good husband, father, and grandfather. My blessings coming from God, through Jesus Christ, and I have no secrets. This entire group is built on secrecy, selective membership, blood oath loyalty, and threats of violence and death to those who would betray it. Sounds like the tenants of the Aryan Brotherhood or some other prison/street gang. It's will never be for me, nor will I ever have any respect for it.

My Father's maternal grand Father was a Mason ,he was a mail carrier in Baltimore ,MD for 40 yrs .

As a mason i enjoyed the nuances and percepective of this video, its well researched but it has a lot of persinal opinion aswell no? In all cases like the doctor stated its a house of many rooms, what i say free masonery needs a bit of reform nowadays and to be like days of old a bit more selective, thank yiu fir a very nice video

If I tell you a secret it's not a secret no more!!

Did you know that when Lucifer strove against God, God slammed him down. God's power looked like lightning: "I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven."-Luke 10:18 Satanists are really ignorant to attribute the lightening bolt to Satan, seeing as how it's a sign of his total DEFEAT. Here are Satanists that use the lightning bolt to show their allegiance to satan: -Anton Zandor LaVey (Founder of the first church of satan has a pentagram with the lightning bolt in the center) -KISS band means "Kings In Satan's Service", the "SS" are lightning bolts -Marilyn Manson (Circle with lightning bolt) -ACDC (lightning bolt between the C & D) -NAZI SS (SS are lightning bolts) -Pearl Jam (Eye with lighting bolt) -Lady Gaga (painted lighting bolt over one eye) -Harry Potter (scar on forehead) Satan has no power that can equal God's, but that's what Satan does, he steals credit "The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook."-psalm 77:18 "13The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire. 14Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them."-Psalm 18:13 I would learn symbols if I were you, so that you would know what people are about in a moment's notice. This is why Egyptians used hieroglyphics, because images are processed faster than words. It takes longer to gain information by reading than it is to look at a picture, hence: "A picture is worth a thousand words" The reason occultists use symbols is to communicate without words in plain sight and the unlearned are none the wiser. It stems back to the tower of Babel. Nimrod wanted to reach heaven without God, so he started building a tall tower. Then God confused their language so that they couldn't finish the project because they couldn't understand what one another was saying, but they could understand the same symbols. And that's what the satanic freemasons base their fraternities on, they are known as "the builders", and they use occult symbols and handshakes to communicate. If you are a freemason, know that you will not be going to heaven. God told you not to make oaths, and he never spoke in secret. The leaders of Freemasonry, Albert Pike, Eliphas Levi, Manly Palmer Hall, already wrote that the god of Freemasonry is Lucifer, which is satan's angelic name before his fall, so YOU are without excuse. Everytime I see black people with the freemason symbol (square and compass) on the back of their cars, I get second hand embarrassment for them, because Albert Pike started the KKK. How ignorant do you have to be? Many don't know this, but Martin Luther King Jr. was not a real Christian preacher. If you'll listen to his preachings, they are not Biblical, they are philosophical. He was teaching freemason doctrines. He died because the Freemasons didn't want him to find out they were using him to control the black population. This is why Martin Luther King Jr. was seen in hell. Well known satanist Aleister Crowley was a 95th degree Freemason. Bill Schnoebelen was a 90th degree Freemason, but he got out by the blood of Christ. He is now a Christian. He exposes Freemasonry, grand druids, Mormonism, and much more in his 9 hour interview with Stefanie Relfe. If Schnoebelen can leave the fraternal order, you can too. It doesn't matter what you've done, God can forgive you of all your sins. As long as you are alive on earth, you have chance to repent. When you give your life to Jesus, you make Him Lord. When you confess your sins to Him, you make Him your savior. Call on Jesus. Even if you have "sold your soul" to the devil, Jesus can save you. Stephen Dollins sold his soul, became a satanic high priest, and then later on became a Christian. The devil condemned him over and over telling him he already sold his soul, so Dollins thought he couldn't be saved. Then one night Dollins had a dream of Jesus Christ. The Lord walked though hell, took keys out of satan's hand and said "HE'S MINE NOW". The Lord showed this dream to Stephen Dollins to prove to him that he is saved. Remember that the devil is a liar, since the beginning he lied to Eve and told her she'd never die, which was a lie, their mortality clock started when they ate the forbidden fruit. Satan said they'd be like Gods, but Adam & Eve were already made in the image of God. Satan said it would open their eyes, but Adam & Eve already had all the knowledge they can ask for, because they walked face to face with the creator, they could ask Him anything. But because of the serpent, Adam & Eve lost these three things: eternal life, infinite Knowledge & truth, being children of God. That's why Jesus Christ, the creator, the Son of God, came in human form to give those three things back to mankind, it's what Satan stole. And yet freemasons, satanists, wiccans, grandmasters, witchdoctors are serving the grand enemy of their souls, the one who stole from them. It's time to cast the enemy out of your house and rerurn to the true love of your life. Jesus is the true LIGHT, Lucifer is the counterfeit.

A very well researched & presented unbiased overview of Freemasonry by a non-mason......I enjoyed it very much, and thank the authors for showing its various elements so well....

my friend died 10 days of a heart attack after his initiation into the 33rd degree. wonder if the rituals can be kind of rough, emotionally .

My ex father-in-law asked me to join the Masonic Lodge. I said well tell me what it’s all about. He said I can’t tell you what it’s about. I said well if I join a footy club, I know I’m going to play football. I told him there is no way I would join anything without first knowing what it was about because that is stupid. Good thing I didn’t join I guess, considering I’m an atheist. Maybe Groucho Marx had the right idea. He said, “I would never join any club that would accept me as a member.”

Well, if theres more and better successful secret soceitys, how would we ever know? Hardest competition to name a winner ever

My grandmother was in the Eastern Star. I remember questioning her about what it was about. I got no answer, but she was very religious. I have her pins and theyre gorgeous, but was told NOT to wear them.

Limited hangout explanation of Freemasonry.

Intriguing, i always knew there was more to life and i have also been looking for a way to find not only protection but a way to be influential to the human society.
