I like to ask people that think a Christian can not be a freemason what they think about people like:
Norman Vincent Peale
Louie D Newton (past president of the Southern Baptist Convention)
Abner McCall (President of Baylor University and past VP of the SBC wrote ""In thousands of meetings of Freemasons and of Baptists stretching back 60 years, I have seen nothing that made my belief and work in the Fraternity of Freemasons incompatible with my belief and work as a member of a Southern Baptist church"
Henry Codman Potter - Anglican Bishop of New York 1887-1908
Elmer N. Schmuck - Episcopal priest, he served as Protestant Episcopal Bishop of Wyoming from 1929 until his death in 1936
George W. Truett - Pastor of the First Baptist Church, Dallas (1897-1944); President of the Southern Baptist Convention; President of the Baptist World Alliance.
James P. Wesberry - Pastor of the Morningside Baptist Church of Atlanta, Georgia for 31 years; Recording Secretary of the Georgia Baptist Convention for 20 years. Died in 1992
Robert E. B. Baylor - Founder of Baylor University, Texas' first Baptist college
B. H. Carroll - First president of Southwestern Seminary and instrumental in the creation of the Department of Evangelism of the Home Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention
John Wesley Lord - Bishop, United Methodist Church
Thousands of ministers from all denominations.
If these men can be considered Christian and find no fault in freemasonry, then I would have to trust their word over those that have never been a freemason.
For those that argue that the true secrets are not revealed until the 33rd degree, I will argue that many of the Christian pastors that have received the degree would have left if it went against their existing beliefs. Does it make sense that someone would preach something every week and on one occasion, receive a masonic degree and change their entire belief structure?
