Doctrine: God

 

Freemasonry:

"...Since every man's conception of God must be proportioned to his mental cultivation, and intellectual powers, and moral excellence. God is, as man conceives Him, the reflected image of man himself. (Albert Pike, "Morals and Dogma," 14th Degree, p. 234) "The only personal God Freemasonry accepts is humanity in toto...Humanity therefore is the only personal God that there is." (J.D. Buck, "Mystic Masonry," p. 216) "The Absolute is Reason. Reason IS, by means of itself. It IS because IT IS...If God IS, HE IS by Reason." (Albert Pike, "Morals and Dogma," 28th Degree. p. 737)


The Bible:

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (Gen. 1:1) For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. (I Jn. 5:7) And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.”... (Ex. 3:14)
