What Do Mother Teresa and The Masonic Lodge Have In Common?
Bet ya never thought on that one before…lol! This may end up being a two parter by the way, depending on the response.
Ahh…it's a struggle with the old flesh some times when the Lord says, “Speak it” since I have never won any popularity contests, I must listen to what the Spirit is saying and share it.
My husband’s response to the blog title question was, “They’re both Dead!” I must admit he’s not far off on his assumption.
It doesn’t matter what religion you are or what you believe, you can become a mason. I find the serpent encircling the masonic symbol above to be very revealing.
It doesn’t matter what religion you are so long as you believe in a god you can become a Roman Catholic. If you have any pagan customs to bring with you that's ok to.
Even if you don’t become a Roman Catholic, according to mother Teresa, and the Roman Catholic Church, you can still find a path to heaven with your god. (Actually Billy Graham feels the same way, so do many other apostate believers.)
Both the Catholic Church, and the Masonic lodge, have their brotherhood that advances them in the things of the world.
The Roman Catholic church has its own version of the masons, they are called the knights of Columbus.
I once had it related to me, how a so called Christian elder of a church, who was a member of the church board and mason, (actually the pastor claimed that this man had not attended Masonic meetings in years, so therefore they were comfortable with this mans standing with God.) had been pulled over in another state for speeding, and as the cop began to write the ticket this man proudly flashed his Masonic ring and the ticket was not written. He was recounting this story in the hearing of new Christians with great pride. He like other masons are proud of their ability to break the laws of the world and be excused from any penalty. He though claiming not to attend meetings of the masonic lodge any longer still obviously clings to the masonic privileges embedded in his heart.
Mother Teresa was of the attitude to those dying in her care; her words, “In coming face to face with God in our lives, then we become a better Hindu, a better Muslim, a better Catholic, a better whatever we are…What God is in your mind you must accept” END QUOTE…quoted from “Mother Teresa, Her People and Her Work”
Excuse me WHAT?
This lady may have done many thousands of good works, but they have not earned her a place in heaven. There is but one way for all men women and children that is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, Yeshua.
When considering workers for her organization, Mother Teresa told them, “there are souls longing for our Lord, but for want of someone to pay the debt for them, they cannot move towards him. You will be a true Missionary of Charity and you will pay their debt." END QUOTE…quoted from Mother Teresa, “My Life With the Poor”
Excuse me WHAT?
There is only one who paid our debt or who can pay any ones debt and that is Jesus Christ, Yeshua.
The Masonic lodge attitude is who ever your god is that doesn’t matter we all serve the same God.
Excuse me WHAT?
I beg to differ….we do not all serve the same God.
Masonry confesses a god but not Jesus Christ.
If masonry does not confess Jesus Christ, which it doesn’t because it claims there is nothing in masonry to offend a Jew, and a Jew can be a mason. That the Jews find Jesus Christ/Yeshua an offense, is a fact. Therefore Jesus Christ is not the center of Masonry. Therefore they confess a false god, and as such, any true Christian should renounce and repent of any and all associations with the Masonic brotherhood.
John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
John 10:1
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.”

I think in baseball you hit a homerun, double header ?
Good job !
Ouch ,you could of kept this truth hidden under a bushel basket as this is sure to offend Catholics and Masons.
The World will hate you and call you intolerant and narrow minded,but I guess you already know that.
When Jesus saw the multitudes He was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. (Matthew 9:36)
In our daily life, we are surrounded by multitudes who also are as sheep without a shepherd. Most are under the influence, usually bad, of a society that rejects God, or at best, they do not acknowledge the power that is in God, to live a holy life not swayed by the world's influences. What should our reaction be when we associate with most people we meet? What was Christ's reaction to those He came in contact with? What is the nature of God as revealed in Scripture?
The Bible says that the LORD is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger, and of great mercy. (Psalm 145:8) It is because of the LORD'S mercies that we are not all consumed, because His compassion's fail not. They are new every morning, great is His faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:22,23)
Time after time with Israel and Judah, God turned and had compassion; He subdued their iniquities and cast all of their sins into the depths of the sea. (Michah 7:19) But God, being full of compassion forgave them of their iniquity and did not destroy them. Many times He turned His anger away and did not stir up all of His wrath. (Psalm 78:38)
Does His compassion give us liberty to sin? God forbid! Believers must guard their hearts with utmost vigilance. Even when ministering to others who are in sin we are warned to not fall into the trap of that sin. But, in our effort to reach those who are in darkness we must try to emulate the One who saved us.
We should strive to be full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and plenteous in mercy, along with truth. (Psalm 86:15) The LORD is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger and of great mercy. (Psalm 145:8 and Psalm 86:15)
Over the years the very thing I would criticize others of I would often fall victim to, or have to fight for my spiritual life to resist what I had just been critical of. I could not understand error in others; but soon, I would fall prey of the same temptation. I feel God was trying to teach me something in the area of compassion, not criticism. It is as if God were telling me that I did not have a full understanding of the bondage they were under. It is easy to rant and rail at others who are in error instead of interceding for them and, with care, compassion, and love try to lead them to the only One who can save them and rescue them from their bondage(s) and sin. God forgive me for my error of the past. May I never repeat it. I did not have the full counsel of God on the matter and I will learn the process until the day I take my last breath. I try to grow daily in the graces and knowledge of God and His ways.
I have been, and still am very concerned about the spiritual condition of local church's and what is passed off as representing Christ. We are not the first to go through this. 2 Chronicles 36:14,15 give an excellent example of the situation we find ourselves in -
" All of the Chief Priests and the people transgressed very much after the abominations of the heathen. They polluted the house of the LORD which was hallow in Jerusalem. The LORD God of their fathers sent His messengers because He had compassion on His people and His dwelling place." The word compassion used here means that He had pity on them and wished to spare them.
An excellent New Testament example of this is given in Matthew 20:34. Two blind men who tried to follow Christ were pushed aside and quietened by the crowd. They continued to cry out for healing. Jesus, having compassion upon them, touched their eyes and they received their sight. Multitudes today have their eyes blinded by greed, lust, addiction and affiliations or places of worship that are in error. As God shakes the earth and heavens (spiritual things) in these last days we must be ready with hearts of compassion and understanding to lead the blind to Christ; not hinder them in their search. Even the desire to come to God for healing comes from God. If He did not move upon the heart, our efforts are in vain.
If we do not have hearts full of compassion and mercy and intercession, who will? As the God shakes everything that can be shaken, both heaven and earth, there will be multitudes waiting in the balance between an eternity with God or an eternity as tormented, lost souls. "When Jesus came out, saw many people, He was moved with compassion toward them...." (Mark 6:34)
We are admonished as Believers to be of one mind, having compassion one for the other, loving the brethren, being pitiful (humble) courteous and not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing; but instead to give blessings; knowing that we are called that we should ourselves inherit a blessing.
I want to become more and more like Christ with each passing day. The Bible says that because iniquity will abound, the love of many will wax cold. In a society that is on a fast track toward judgment, our love for the lost should increase, not decrease.
The Apostle Paul so loved his fellow Jews and desired their acceptance of Christ so badly that he was willing to be accursed himself so that, if possible, they would come to the knowledge of the truth.
Can we say the same?
LORD, in judgment, remember mercy. Great is Thy faithfulness.
Jesus said If you love me keep my commandments, for they are not grevious...If we say we love God and keep not His commandments, then the truth is not in us and we are liars.
Many are lead astray because they continue to harden their hearts against God. They refuse to listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit who is drawing them to repentance. Instead they hold onto their sins excusing them, and excusing the sins of others, because they don't want to forsake their sins. If we do not forsake our sins then we will always excuse the sins of others because it is a way of shoving our own sin under the rug so to speak...for example someone who commits adultery has a hard time exhorting one who is in fornication to stop their sin...instead they make excuses of how merciful God is...God truly is merciful but He is not tolerant of those who continue in sin. Just because sentence against our evil works is not execucted speedily, because we don't immediately see the hand of God's judgment for our sins...we think He approves and overlooks our sins...He does not...yet people continue to sin and their hearts are fully set to do evil...but beware because He who made the eye..He can see..and He who made the ear..He can hear...and He will not count him guiltless who holds the shed blood of Christ...as a cheap thing...
We must be willing to rid ourselves of all sin in our hearts and lives. We must be willing to crucify our flesh, and rid oursleves of the weights of sin that so easily beset us and keep us from the fullness of the things of The Most High.
We must hold the whole Truth of The Word of God above all things.
Yes God is Merciful, but Mercy follows Judgment....
God makes manifest the unfruitful works of darkness, that His people may be warned not to entangle themselves there in, but to flee from them.
I think you have trampled some 'sacred ground' there, but amen! Freemasonry is so prevalent in many forms and governs our nations at a high level. Like mother theresa, they do many charitable works. But if the world loves someone, we as believers should be wary - the world loves its own. We can bow to no one but the Lord Jesus Christ.
Unfortunately most "professing" Christians have absolutely no discernment in these matters and of course the World is blinded to them. They look at Mother Teresa and believe she is some sort of super spiritual altruistic, when the truth is that she taught "another Jesus" and has mislead all those poor people she ministered to. As for the masons...what an evil organisation. They hide behind a cloak of benevolence, which blinds the majority to their true purpose which is to worship satan.
Christians I implore you, "Be dilligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD OF TRUTH" 2 Tim 2:15
Sometimes when a truth hits close to home, we can become defensive, instead of repentant, this is very dangerous.
It is the duty of every Christian to have compassion for the lost, those who do not know Christ.
We may become angry at the sin we see arround us but we pray for the deceived ones amongst us. We must always preach the whole Truth of the Word of God. When we see error and falsehood we must expose it not sweep it under the rug.
We are to reprove the unfruitful works of darkenss. For some reproof is a hard pill to swallow, but swallow it we must if we are going to have the oil of the Holy Spirit flowing in our temples. To the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet. The chastisement of the Lord is a sign of sonship.
We must share the whole council of the Word. It is the truth that sets people free. Sin must be exposed in the life of the beleiver that he may have opportunity to repent and be forgiven.
False teaching and deceiving religions and false prophets must be exposed for the sake of the young sheep, least they to be deceived and lead astray from the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The worldly attitude of i'm ok your ok were all ok, is a lie from the pits of hell..the hearts of men are desperately wicked...and we cannot do what we believe is right in our own eyes, least we be cut off, and our candle sticks removed and our names blotted out of the Lambs book of life.
We must strive to be without spot and blameless before our All Holy God.
I must just say that I so appreciate all the comments that are left they are a great encouragement to all who read them.
Seed!
Sister Helen, I apologize for the length of my comments. I am so tired of Believers who lash out at others that do not believe exactly as they do; and I do not believe in any way that you fall into that category!
But I stick by my feelings that I wrote. I have been told by tongue speaking believers that I was not going to heaven because I attended a church where that was not prevalent in the services. I do believe in the works of the Holy Spirit; I do believe in speaking in utterances that may not be understandable; sometimes we just cannot put into language what the LORD is saying to us, and likewise, what we are trying to say to Him.
On that great day, when each of us stand in judgment before God, I would rather be found at fault of leaning too heavily on the compassion side than in being too judgmental and intolerant. I believe in the commandments of God; as do all true Believers. I repent continually, daily of words, thoughts, anger, bigotry, intolerance and other sins. Like the Priests of old, our fire has to be maintained daily and the ashes taken away so the flame burns brightly.
The world will be won over by our love; not our anger. We hate sin! We love the soul! Jesus came and died for all of this mess; and He was pure and holy. Why do some think they are worthy of more than He was.
Compassion, mercy and love will by my goal. His compassions never fail; they are renewed every morning. They will know we have been with Christ because of our love. Many have grown cold in the love aspect of our beliefs; I pray daily this does not happen to me and I resist the lack of love when it wells up in my spirit.
I apologize for the length of this post also!!! Thank you for the subjects you address. They are thought inducing and cause us to reexamine our positions on these important, eternal issues.
Some ten years ago my six year old son taught me an inner concept of grace, that has remained with our family ever since. So when unrightious natures present themselves in us or those around us, these word rise first in our minds and then in our hearts, to bring us forward into the Grace of the Most High Creator of Heaven and Earth. It is the Jabez prayer
'Oh that you would bless me indeed, that you would be with me,
that you would enlarge my borders, and keep me from all evil
that I do no one no harm'. As I taught my son each line, I would ask him what he perceived from the words. He responded by sayin it was 'the sin within that we should be mindful of'. Since then we have often brought into being this revelation to guide us in the trials we face.
Such powerful words to guide us of that which lies in the heart of men, which can draw one towards curruption. My son at such a young age knew this reveltion and enlightened my 'grown' overstanding, to set a foundation of grace and mercy in us as we travel this life journey in the service of Yah (Psalm 68) I pray for all who read the comments to be enlightened with a right overstanding and the spirit of love and peace sets them upon a rock, so that they can BE true servants of Yah. Which he alone can judge and who are called by HIS grace, mercy and blessings. We are reminded that the Lord often uses inperfect souls to do perfect works. BE BLESSED
Jesus spoke in a hidden manner and the world crucified Him. The Masons speak in a hidden manner and you would crucify them too. Although, everything hidden shall be uncovered. You just lack the eyes to see. I understand these symbols perfectly. The outside snake is life as in "the circle of life". The right angle is the bread and the compass is wine. The stars are the three wise men. The three squares are Christ, the cornerstone the builders rejected, the life/death/ressurection. The bottom with wings is the Holy Spirit and the center is God, Yahweh, Jehovah.
I think thats a grand slam, hit out of Wrigley Park!!!
The funny thing is Suzy, when I go back years later and read these posts, I think "where did that come from?" and I know it came from the Lord by His Holy Spirit as He moved on me to write, and gave me the worlds to speak, so yes God always hits it out of the park sister! Praise His Holy Name!!
Neither Mother Theresa, nor anyone else in Rome since the year 1903, has been a Catholic. Every word they vomit out of their filthy mouths, and everything they do in the spirit of "Ecumenism" (that is, praising and/or praying with other religions) has been repeatedly condemned by the true Catholic Church. Freemasonry has also been condemned by the true Catholic Church since 1738.
By the way, the original Christian Church adopted the title of "Catholic" in the third century to distinguish itself from the numerous sects calling themselves "Christian", but who were not adhering to the teachings of the Apostles. By calling themselves Catholic (Universal) Christians, they meant that they were members of the mainstream, or universal, Christian Church. Read over the writings of the Early Church Father's and you will see that the early Christian Church was 100% Catholic - same hierarchical structure, same doctrines, same Apostolic Traditions, etc. That's precisely why Protestant preachers don't want you to read the Church Fathers.
Careful what you sow... Get the facts.
