CONSPIRACY AGAINST CHRISTIANITY - EVIDENCE THAT THE MASONIC LODGE HAS A SECRET AGENDA
Product Description
by A. Ralph Epperson
AUTHOR RESPONDS TO CRITIC:
First, let me say that I used 29 books by the top 12 Masonic writers (Rex Hutchens, Albert G. Mackey, Arthur Edward Waite, John Robinson, Henry Clausen, Henry Wilson Coil, Carl Claudy, W.L. Wilmshurst, Kenneth MacKenzie, William Hutchison, and of course Albert Pike and Manly P. Hall.) Each of these men is a recognized Masonic authority; in fact, Mr. Pike was 'the leader of the world wide Masonic movement.' So, when I quoted them, I was quoting their own authorities. Secondly, there are 470 quotations inside my book, the overwhelming majority of which come from these 29 books. It is true that Mr. Hall did not become a Mason when he started writing about this secret religion (yes, Masonry is a religion. I prove that in my book.) But when he died on August 7, 1990, the Scottish Rite Journal, the official magazine of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, called him 'Masonry's Greatest Philosopher.' They ended their eulogy with: 'The world is a far better place because of Manly Palmer Hall, and we are better persons for having known him and his work.' 'His work' certainly included THE LOST KEYS OF FREEMASONRY, which tells the reader (page 48:) 'The seething energies of Lucifer [this is the name of the Devil in the Bible] are in his hands [the hands of the Mason] and before he may step onward and upward, he must prove his ability to properly apply energy.' I believe the reader of my review will now know why my critic did not mention this quotation in his criticism. I found THE LOST KEYS that contains that revealing quotation (see pages 321 and 324 of MORALS AND DOGMA written by Albert Pike, the writer of all 33 rituals of the Masonic Order, for a similar quotation about Lucifer being the 'light-bearer' 'who brings the Light' to the Mason) on an official Masonic magazine's 'list of recommended reading' so the Mason is encouraged to learn that Lucifer brings 'the Light' to the Mason. So I was justified in using these quotations from Mr. Hall in my book. I used the quotations for Mr. Pike's book MORALS AND DOGMA because the Masons praise his book as being one of their key ones. This quotation comes from A BRIDGE TO LIGHT, unanimously approved by the 'Committee on Rituals and Ceremonies' of the Supreme Council of the 33rd Degree. Mr. Hutchens, a 33rd Degree Mason himself, wrote: 'contained within its pages are some of the most profound teachings' of the Masons. So it appears that whoever Mr. Pike quotes, he wants the reader to learn 'some of the most profound teachings' of the Masons. I will conclude with this: what if I am right? What if the 'true purpose' of the Masons (as written by Mr. Pike) is the actual destruction of Christianity? Remember that I did my research in the very writings of the Masons themselves. The Masons themselves have proven that I am correct! This is their 'true purpose!'
