Doctrine: Redemption

 

Freemasonry:

“These three degrees (1st, 2nd, 3rd) thus form a perfect an harmonious whole, nor can it be conceived that anything can be suggested more, which the soul of man requires.” (Daniel Sickles, “Ahimon Rezon or Freemason's Guide.” p. 196) “If we with suitable true devotion maintain our Masonic profession, our faith will become a beam of light an bring us to those blessed mansions where we shall be eternally happy with God, the Great Architect of the Universe.” (Daniel Sickles, “Ahimon Rezon or Freemason's Guide.” p. 79) “...salvation by faith and the vicarious atonement were not taught as now interpreted, by Jesus, nor are these doctrines taught in the esoteric scriptures. They are later and ignorant perversions of the original doctrines.” (J.D. Buck, "Mystic Masonry." p. 57)


The Bible:

As it is written: “There is none righteous, no, not one; (Rom. 3:10) For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, (Rom. 3:23) For He made Him (Jesus) who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. (II Cor. 5:21) For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. (Eph. 2:8-9)
