Some of the problems our critics have are related to the writings of so-called authorities who do not necessarily have their own facts straight.

There are so many differences between Grand Lodges that any information, written in a preface to a book calling itself a ‘Masonic Bible’ and claiming to speak for Freemasonry throughout the world, needs to be checked carefully.

One such book states that Freemasons believe they can attain everlasting salvation by doing good works, but this statement is one of the oldest heresies in Christianity and the Christian church, quite rightly, attacks it because it believes that the only way to obtain salvation is through faith. This should remind the reader of the first rung on Jacob’s Ladder.

Freemasonry in this jurisdiction is not concerned with providing a means of salvation but rather leaves this to be something which each man will find within his own religion. If Freemasonry were a religion, there would be no need for Freemasons to attend church, synagogue, mosque or temple.
