That kinda lines up with what follows it: 28But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. It feels like we are being called to contrition here.

Okay, let's start here: 27Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. What does it take to be worthy?

My first encounter with the subject of Freemasonry came when I was discussing with my future brother-in-law what it took to get on with Brown and Root, one of the larger construction companies in the world at that time. He suggested that it helped a great deal to be a Mason. I asked him how that...

I'm not sure what book you might be referring to. Pike' "Morals and Dogma" goes only to the 32nd degree and one past Sovereign Grand Master has suggested that it should be considered their "Bible". One book on the subject I found of interest concerning the 33rd degree was that which was written...

Well, just chew on that for a while. What do you think it means?

The animosity between Freemasonry and the Catholic Church goes back to their inception. The Knights Templar (you remember the crusades?) operated with the approval of the Pope until Pope Clement V had decided that they had gotten a little "big for their britches" (and a little perverted as well)...

"All is fair in love and war."

As an historic aside, Albert Pike was commissioned as an officer in the Confederate army and using his gift as a polyglot enlisted an Indian tribe in Arkansas to join the cause of the South. In the Battle of Pea Ridge his charges were so heinous in the treatment of Northern soldiers in their...

One obvious mission they all have is to sew leaven into the bread that is the Word of God. Another purpose is to influence those that would follow them into accepting certain ideas and agendas. You yourself noted how incongruous it was for Mr. Copeland to supplicate the Lord to rebuke Covid and...

This is the part that always spooked me: 26For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. 27Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28But let a...

With all due respect, this is the rhetorical equivalent of a dog chasing it's tail. Could you please respond simply and directly; did Jesus come for Judah and/or the Gentiles or not?

Please understand, I am not trying to denigrate your father. I was in possession of my Great Great Grandfathers' Masonic walking papers. I suppose most of us have some family member in the lodge somewhere down the line. What I am trying to suggest is that, as an organization that is world wide...

John 10: 15As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. In the passage I offered, Jesus was...

I would suggest that prophecy has multiple fulfillments. We could start with the Passover. We've seen two ... we'll see a third.

Why do you say that?

I think a careful reading of Ez 40-48 seems to allow for the possibility that both things are true. Again, why can't both things be true? Or, said another way, "Who is a Jew?" Paul knew.

John 10: 15As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

Would that it were true. My first encounter with Freemasonry was during my studies of history. I kept tripping over them so I figured I better look into the subject deeper if I wanted to have a fuller understanding of the history I was studying. I chanced upon a book called "Scarlet and the...

The first scripture you offered is a prophecy that has yet to be fulfilled. The second is unfolding before our eyes. One does not abrogate the other. Paul was not given a dispensation as it regards the first of your offerings, but, the second of them.

Mr. Copeland is a 33rd degree Scottish Rite Freemason. His call for the vaccine is pretty clear indicator of what team he bats for. They've got quite a little club going.
