Out of the hundreds of books that have been written against Freemasons and countless videos they have decided it is time for a rebuttal against some of the most serious charges. These charges include devil worship, slandering gods name by using it with Baal to create a unholy trinity Jah-Bul-On, Baphomet worship, Hitler and Freemasons, Illuminati Order of Bavaria and on and on. http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/anti-masonry/index.html
I must admit that I have read some of the very books they say are anti-masonic propaganda. I also know a few people who are masons. But still in the back of my mind my first thought when it comes to swearing secret oaths under the penalty of deaths is scripture like Matthew 6:24 and Luke 12:3
How do yo feel about Freemasonry?

It always amuses me when the church picks a "secret society" to demonise... and that's pretty much what happened with the Freemasons, oh so long ago. At a guess, the church back then really didn't like their spiritual approach - you know, the fact that there's a Supreme Being and not specifically the Christian God - so they were instantly suspect.
There's virtually nothing secret about them apart from a few minor elements of ritual/recognition and the vast majority of what they do (quite apart from MASSIVE amounts of charity work) is simply based around guild principles that have been around since... well, since guilds were invented.
I don't see why everyone has such a problem with them, to be honest, though I guess everyone needs to have someone to blame and be suspicious of.
Incidentally, the Illuminati and the Freemasons are totally separate/different things.

"but what if they are using their influence to steal more money ?"
Huh? Where did that come from? 
Any guild, union, trade partnership, big company, political body or other gathering of people will induce suspicion in those outside it. Adding "secret" things only makes the outsiders more paranoid. If people are really worried about the Freemasons, they should probably point the same analysis at their government, their church, their employer, those three guys down the road who run the gas station and anyone else who isn't a one-man band with a totally open, transparent approach to absolutely everything in their life.

Come on it`s not that easy.In theory we have control of our government and we are the church.The problem is when the politicians become "brothers " in such secret societies.I don`t care where people are gathering or who they are worshiping or how many degrees they have or whatever.The problem is when they become involved in politics because then it is more likely they will help their brothers than someone else.

"Funny, the masons are doing stuff from the temples of Isreal" - A lot of Christians would say that the things they are doing are not what was pointed out in the bible but were traditions of men. The same thing that Jesus argued against the pharisees saying you take doctrine of men over the word of God. By Temples of Israel, I take it you are talking about Kabbalah beliefs?

A lot of the stuff that has gone on for 2500 years was the very same things that Stephen was martyred for when he gave testimony against the temples of Israel. The worship of Moloch/Baal was a common thing done in secret also and was passed by word of mouth. This doesn't mean it is right, in fact it is strictly forbidden.

No actually it from the LDS church, whose principles are that it is the restored church of Jesus Christ, and with it came restoration of temples and the ordinances that we actually done in the Jewish temples that are considered sacred and not allowed to ever write about. There are passages in the Bible that, if you know what you are looking for, references these ordinances.
The Masons, through history kept these alive through passing on by mouth, and never writing about them. How be it, with 2500 years of time, the purposes and meanings have been change from the original Jewish ordinances for salvation, to old men out having fun.

I think they are planning to things that do not love it, they show they are good and care about religions but they are not as well, also driven and supported from behind the curtain of the World Zionist and pour this in the interest of the Jewish state, which plans to rule the world after the fall of America,which has become imminent

I think there is a bit of language barrier but I am thinking that you don't like them or their agendas.

Its true what you say. Freemasonry has more than often been associated with a lot ill things that happen in society. I have never really understood what it is about and as a result have stayed as far away as I can. This website talks about their secrets and I hope it will shed a little light on the whole topic. http://www.freemasonssecrets.com/
