Modern Christian Churches Are Covert Masonic Lodges / Temples
Detailed Summary of “Are Church Buildings Covert Masonic Lodges?”
Introduction
The article (transcript) argues that modern church buildings function as covert Masonic lodges, sharing identical philosophies, rituals, and structures with Freemasonry. The speaker examines Masonic texts and compares them to common church teachings, concluding that institutional Christianity has been heavily influenced by—or even designed as—a Masonic project.
Key Arguments
1. Doctrinal Parallels Between Churches and Masonic Lodges
The speaker analyzes Scottish Rite Masonic degrees (4th–32nd) and shows how their teachings mirror mainstream church sermons:
-
Obedience, Silence, Fidelity (4th Degree) → Churches demand submission to pastors (“be quiet in God’s house”).
-
Charity, Virtue, and Judgment (7th–8th Degrees) → Preached identically in churches (“don’t judge others”).
-
Faith, Hope, and Charity (18th Degree) → Directly aligns with 1 Corinthians 13.
-
“Labor for the Glory of God” (24th Degree) → Church slogans like “serve God and country.”
-
Immortality of the Soul (32nd Degree) → Standard Christian eschatology.
Conclusion: A Mason could preach Masonic texts verbatim in a church without objection.
2. Architectural and Ritual Connections
-
Cornerstone Ceremonies:
-
Many churches (Baptist, Anglican, Disciples of Christ) had cornerstones laid by Masons (e.g., First Christian Church in Texas, 1985).
-
Photos show Masons in aprons conducting “sacred” church rituals.
-
-
Symbolism:
-
Black Suits/White Shirts: Old-school preachers dressed like Masons (black tie = Masonic “uniform”).
-
Vacant Chair: Some churches place an empty chair “for Christ,” mirroring Masonic lodge traditions.
-
3. Historical Integration of Masonry into Christianity
-
Catholic and Protestant Complicity:
-
The speaker claims Freemasonry infiltrated churches post-Reformation, blending pagan symbolism with Christian doctrine.
-
Example: St. Michael’s Church in Hamburg hosted large Masonic gatherings.
-
-
501(c)(3) Churches: Allegedly promote patriotism and submission to government, reflecting Masonic loyalty to “God and country.”
4. Critique of Institutional Christianity
-
“Babel Buildings”:
-
The speaker condemns church buildings as unbiblical, citing:
-
No New Testament precedent for temples/altars.
-
Churches enforce hierarchical control (e.g., “don’t criticize the pastor”).
-
-
-
Masonic “Double-Mindedness”:
-
Churches preach tolerance of sin (e.g., “ignore doctrinal differences”) while demanding rigid conformity.
-
5. Call to Action
-
Leave Church Buildings:
-
The speaker urges Christians to abandon institutional churches, calling them “satanic” and “wicked.”
-
Claims true worship should be home-based and free from Masonic influence.
-
Conclusion
The transcript asserts that modern churches are Masonic constructs, designed to:
-
Control believers through hierarchical structures.
-
Blend pagan and Christian symbols (e.g., cornerstones, altars).
-
Promote nationalism and compromise (via 501(c)(3) compliance).
Final Warning:
“Church buildings are not ‘houses of God’—they are Masonic lodges in disguise. True Christians must flee them.”
Implications:
-
Christianity has been hijacked by secret societies.
-
Restoration requires rejecting institutional religion entirely.
Controversial Takeaway:
-
The speaker implies that faithful Christians cannot remain in traditional churches without participating in a Masonic deception.
Compare their “duties” with those in ANY “church” building, and you will see the striking similarities!

Are Church Buildings Covert Masonic Lodges?
Introduction
A while ago, I made a comment about how church buildings are very similar to Masonic lodges. Today, I’m going to show you some proof of that.
Here we are at LBS or lbscottishrite.org – the Long Beach Scottish Rite. I want you to think about what they tell you when you go to a church building—what I call a “Babel building” (not “Bible building,” but Babel, like lots of talking).
