"Coils Masonic Encyclopedia", Henry Coils, page 516, 517 says:
"Men have decided whether they want a God like the ancient Hebrew Yahweh, a partisan tribal God, with whom they can talk and argue and from whom they can hide if necessary, or a boundless, eternal, universal undenominational, and international, divine spirit, so vastly removed from the speck called man, that he cannot be known, named, or approached. So soon as man begins to laud his God and endow him with the most perfect human attributes such as justice, mercy, beneficence, etc., the Divine Essence is depreciated and despoiled. The Masonic test (for admission) is a Supreme Being, and any qualification added is an innovation and distortion."

And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. ..........
And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them.
And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.
1 kings 18 for the whole story ....This would be great Movie

But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 1 Timothy 6:6-12

So Elijah was a cold blooded murderer? And we are proud of that? Interesting...

Thank You Yahshua for the new covenent ........before Yahshua shed His precious blood onGolgotha the warfare was physical...after the atonement the warfare is now spiritual.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Yahshua shall give thee light.

Water once someone is saved it cannot be taken away. Someone cannot lose salvation by joining a fraternal org.

“ Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I NEVER KNEW YOU: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” (Matt 7 )
at some point these men and women were confessed believers but the Word says this about Salvation......" And ye shall be hated of all men for My Name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved"
(Matthew 10:22).we might trip, fall, run fast, slow down but how we finish this race is the KEY
