This was such a rockin' thread.In 4 days? Yup
AND we only touched the literal!

I don't believe that it does, but wouldn't they be better served by having something a little more familiar?Only if you believe the OT conflicts with their beliefs.
Exactly why I never said it was a Christian organization...... Just the book used for reference purposes is the same book the Christian faith uses for their Holy book.... maybe Bro's Webb and Preston were more fond of the HB than they were of the Qur'an or Torah (if these are not the technical names of the Holy books for Judaism and Islam...I do apologize) and didnt want to use them as references...???... my guess is that they were of the Christian faith and used the book they considered the VSL....The OT is also part of Judaism and Islam.
Me two......The Buddhists/Hindu's got the shaft on this one me thinks.
Bro Gary started a thread in the Esoteric category for the allegorical aspects....This was such a rockin' thread.
AND we only touched the literal!
OK... dare I ask this..... sure why not Fireman...you are a tough guy.......or glutton for punishment???I don't believe that it does, but wouldn't they be better served by having something a little more familiar?
That's also why I raised the question about our Buddhist/Hindu Brethren. Good question. Maybe we can shed some further light on this subject.I wanted to ask but have been gone for 20 hours and this happened.
OK back to point. Bro. Fireman isn't the fact the it mainly plays to OT and not parts of the NT that make it, as Coach said, older. The HSJ were put into play here but from what I understand in the UGLE it's KS and Moses. What about in Muslim dominated Lodges?
I very much see your points but most opponents of FM argue that it ignores Christianity and that it serves the Jewish people.

OK back to point. Bro. FiremanYup....we both concur.isn't the fact the it mainly plays to OT and not parts of the NT that make it, as Coach said, older.Yup....HSJ are probably (dont know for fact) part of the ritual only in America.....never read the ritual from the UGLE....The HSJ were put into play here but from what I understand in the UGLE it's KS and Moses.Muslim dominate lodges probably use the Qur'an......What about in Muslim dominated Lodges?
I very much see your points but mostSome say it doesnt ignore any religion.....opponents of FM argue that it ignores Christianity and that it serves the Jewish people.
Been there, posted too.Bro Gary started a thread in the Esoteric category for the allegorical aspects....
And still some others say that it IS a religion.Some say it doesnt ignore any religion.....
Yep, they sure do.And still some others say that it IS a religion.
Does anyone know which who would assume the points or does it revert to Cancer and Capricorn?I wanted to ask but have been gone for 20 hours and this happened.

I would assume that the GL of the jurisdiction this lodge would be located in would have a set rule on this.
This would be leaning towards allegory........ I will venture a guess and say no GL will define the rules of allegory.......Does anyone know which who would assume the points or does it revert to Cancer and Capricorn?

As beautiful and specific as the HSsJ allegory is, what it hides is far more beautiful, wonderful and universal -- and Cancer and Capricorn are merely scratching the surface.Does anyone know which who would assume the points or does it revert to Cancer and Capricorn?
I don't believe it's in any GL's job description.This would be leaning towards allegory........ I will venture a guess and say no GL will define the rules of allegory.......
Did I fix it good?My good Brother.... just for proper credit...the Good Bro. BukeyeJackson was the author of the first quote and I am of the second .....it appeared the opposite due to technical error on my part....sorry....
You really need to hear this Brothers... Personally, I need a second dose of it to absorb it all...As beautiful and specific as the HSsJ allegory is, what it hides is far more beautiful, wonderful and universal -- and Cancer and Capricorn are merely scratching the surface.
(BTW - I do a 30 to 45 minute presentation on the flanked circumpunct that would scatter your Masonic illusions. Ask Brother Gary!)
I don't believe it's in any GL's job description.
