[If you wish to read the short-but-powerful reason that made George Washington go from British Loyalist to British Hate over-night, click 'Why George Washington Came to "Hate the British"!' [F] Once George Washington dropped the British Military, he became Commander of the Virginia Militia, turning against England and all things British - seeking day & night from that day forward to urge Americans to REBEL against British Authority and form a New Nation.

[G] When George Washington turned against the British, he also dropped out of the British Version of the Masonic Lodge with British Loyalties, and joined a brand new Independent Masonic Lodge, which eventually became the American Version of the Masonic Lodges - as the separate-Lodge situation remains to the modern day.

[H] Just as the Church of England, the Anglican Church - which was also the Official State Church of Virginia - CONVERTED to become the American Version calling itself the Episcopal Church when the American Colonies turned against the British and sought independence, the Masonic Lodge went through the same transformation.

[I] In both institutions - Anglican Church & British Lodge - the basic principles did NOT change, but the loyalties, the patriotism, the tenor & tone of the Colonies vs. the British Empire: that's what changed.

[J] Surely this metamorphosis is clearly seen as natural, logical and easily understood. If not, there is much on the web about it.

[K] Explaining that transformation is NOT the purpose of this document. This document is to verify George Washington's extreme devotion to Masonic Doctrine and purpose.

[L] We simply shared there was a transformation from British to American Lodges to explain Washington's personal statement: that he 'dropped out of the British Lodge at Fredericksburg, and never went back, and that was over 30 years ago';

[M] Even then, maintained life-long membership at the English Frederickburg Lodge #4, paying his dues, but not attending. No one can be sure why he did this, as he did not say. Perhaps it was to keep Masonic good-will of Masons in England to whom 'Masonic Goals' were more important than 'British Empire Goals'.

[N] After dropping the English Lodge #4 at Frederickburg, George Washington joined and helped lead the newly ordained Lodge #22 at Alexandria, becoming a staunch leader, faithful attender, diligent worker, heavy contributor, constant promoter, successful organizer, powerful encourager & perfect example: eventually achieving National Masonic Prominence.

[O] "George Washington Masonic King" is one of the "most Shocking stories of American History" . . . you can't possibly imagine what facts await your reading in just 20 minutes!

THE BEGINNING:

[1] George Washington became an Apprentice Mason, joining the 'English Masonic Lodge #4' at Fredericksburg, Virginia on Nov. 4, 1752.

[2] He passed his Fellowcraft degree on March 3, 1753.

[3] He was raised a Master Mason on Aug. 4, 1753.

[4] George Washington remained a lifelong member of Masonic Lodge #4 at Fredericksburg, Virginia.

[5] The new Masonic Lodge #22 was formed at Alexandria, so ordained by Edmund Randolph, a British Loyalist who 'saw the hand-writing-on-the-wall' and approved the New Lodge, with George Washington prominent in leadership.

You probably always knew George Washington was a Mason . . .

However, nothing could be further from the truth!

For George Washington the Masonic Lodge became the 'Be-All-End-All'.

He pursued it to the highest levels and maintained his exalted rank even as US President. He accepted Masonry completely as his 'Religion & Salvation and Rejected Jesus Christ more completely than any leader of the Western World including Adolph Hitler.

The following facts will literally chill the blood of devout Bible-Believing Born-Again Christians!

Did you ever imagine the following for George Washington the Mason?

. . . That he pursued Masonic dogma with such diligence that he finally achieved all 33 Degrees of the Scottish Rite, reaching this highest Masonic Ranking on December 20 1788 . . .

. . . a full 36 years after he began.

This is an achievement extremely few Masons ever achieve, and at times less than a half-dozen have existed world-wide.

(SOURCE: Todd Van Beck, "Washington, Father of Our Country" 2003)

[7] Did you ever imagine that of the two basic ‘Masonic Pathways’ - one to the 3rd Degree Master Mason and one to the Royal Arch: the Religious Pathway - George Washington chose the religious Pathway, eventually climbing to the very highest level, achieving the exalted title of “Worshipful Master”

This is what fellow-Masons called Washington, and this is what Washington called other Masons of that exalted rank, and what he had called them trough the decades when he was of lesser rank.

Is not this ‘Blasphemy’? (SOURCE: This may be of considerable importance, for the "Royal Arch degree is the salient, spiritual degree of Freemasonry, not excepting the degree of Master Mason" (Steinmetz, 1946, 67).

(SOURCE: “On two occasions General Lafayette presented Masonic aprons to Washington. One of these aprons, embroidered in colored silks . . . , bore the emblems of the Holy Royal Arch degree. The fact that this apron was especially made for George Washington has led to [conclusion for many] that he was raised to that degree.”)

[8] Did you ever imagine Washington was so dedicated to being the “Worshipful Master” that maintained this position and duty even while being the First US President, equating it as equal to the Presidency!

(SOURCE: Frank J. DeNeale, Athens, Texas. COMMONWEALTH INSTITUTE, 2003 )

[9] Did you ever imagine Washington was so dedicated to Masonic Doctrine, that somehow he was able to convince Congress that none of them were qualified to issue him the oath of office?

that neither the elder statesman Ben Franklin, nor Constitutionalists James Madison, John Jay, or Alexander Hamilton’ neither genius Scholar Thomas Jefferson, Author of Declaration of Independence nor John Adams, scholar, overseer of Continental Congress deciding on declaration and second to Washington in the Presidency; neither John Hancock nor Patrick Henry:

Rather, that George Washington was able to convince all of Congress that a member of the Global Masonic Fraternity should swear him into office: thus Grand Master of all Masons in New York, Robert R. Livingston was chosen to issue his oath and swear Washington into office!

(SOURCE: Frank J. DeNeale, Athens, Texas. COMMONWEALTH INSTITUTE, 2003 )

[10] Somehow even school kids know Washington was sworn into office taking his oath with his hand on the Bible! You know this too, and Christian Historians continue to iterate and reiterate this fact to the Highest Heavens, using it as evidence he was a Christian.

What Christian Historians don’t know - or refuse to tell you - (and we must suspect the latter - “How could they not know? They’re full-time historians!”)

Did you ever imagine the Bible George Washington used to swear into office of US President, was the Masonic Bible with their extra Scriptures added!

(SOURCE: Washington took his oath of office as President, April 30, 1789, on the Masonic Bible belonging to St. johns Masonic Lodge No. 1 of New York City. (The New Age Magazine, January 1953, pg. 44)

[11] Did you ever imagine that George Washington was so dedicated to the Doctrine, Goals & Purpose of Free Masonry that he wore the full Masonic Garb while using a ‘Marble-Mason's-Trowel' and other props in laying the first stone of the US Capitol Building?

(SOURCE: The George Washington Masonic Memorial Jan 12-2009 ‘History Page’ http://www.gwmemorial.org/history.html )

[12] Did you ever imagine that George Washington was such a dedicated Masonic Worshipful Master as to dictate the architecture of the whole City of Washington DC according to Masonic Principles?

[13] Did you ever imagine that George Washington had so much influence as a Masonic Leader as to get the US Currency - especially the “One-Dollar-Bill” with his picture - to be designed with Masonic Symbols & Emblems, including the “All-Seeing-Eye“ of the Masonic God?

[14] Did you ever imagine that George Washington had so much loyalty to Lodge Brothers that he hired and trusted German Leader Von Stuben the Mason to train the US Army and the French Mason Marquis de Lafayette to lead American Forces?

[15] Did you ever imagine that George Washington had so much loyalty to Masonic Lodge Oath that he selected only Masonic Lodge Brothers as Generals in the Continental Army?

[16] Did you ever imagine that the ‘Masonic Branch called the Shriners’ - those guys with the big funny hats riding their go-carts at Fund-Raisers-&-Festivals are the Muslim Branch of Free-Masonry, with funds raised for and connected to Islam?

“The Shrine Rooms [in Washington’s Masonic Memorial in WDC] are dedicated to the Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, Shriners, who have established orthopedic hospitals and burn centers for children.”

(SOURCE: Wikipedia: Washington Masonic Memorial)

[17] Did you ever imagine that the ‘Masonic Influence' was so powerful in the American revolution that 50-of-the-56 signers of the Declaration of Independence were Masonic Brothers?

[18] Did you ever imagine that the ‘Masonic Influence' was so powerful in the American revolution that George Washington, John Hancock, Thomas Jefferson, Sam Adams, Ben Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, Paul Revere, General Marquis de Lafayette, James Madison, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, were all Masonic Brothers?

[19] Did you ever imagine that the Masonic Doctrine of “Accepting All Supreme Beings” includes Lucifer - openly by name - and his Worship, that their leading philosopher insists his energies must be understood and used?

QUOTE: "When a Mason learns the key to the warrior … the dynamo of living power, he has learned the mystery of his Craft. The seething energies of Lucifer are in his hands and before he may step onward and upward, he must prove his ability to properly apply energy."

(SOURCE: The Lost Keys To Freemasonry, Manly P. Hall, published by the Macoy Publishing and Masonic Supply Company, Inc., Richmond, Virginia, 1976, p. 48.)

Who was Manly P. Hall? The Scottish Rite Journal [Scottish Rite being the strictest and highest branch of Masonry, the branch offering ‘Advanced Degrees 4-through-33’ beyond just the ‘Three Degrees’ offered by the Basic Beginner Masons. Thus George Washington and literally all Masonic leadership, all who hold the 32 & 33 Degree Titles, are Scottish Rite.

(SOURCE: The Scottish Rite Journal of 1990 - not centuries ago, but recently - acclaimed Manly P. Hall in 1990 as "Masonry's Greatest Philosopher". )

[20] Did you ever imagine that the Masonic Doctrine of was strongly against Jesus Christ and Christianity that that Washington advocated the destruction of all branches of Christianity teaching that Jesus is the ONLY Christ, the ONLY way to Heaven, the ONLY truth, and Christianity the ONLY Religion?

[21] Did you ever imagine that George Washington was such a great Masonic Leader that his Masonic Memorial in Washington DC today is one of the largest Memorials and organizations of any kind in the world, with many properties, millions of contributors, meetings, education and even monthly newsletter you can get free . . .

. . . All dedicated to George Washington’s Masonic Vision for America, primarily and secondarily the whole world?

These are further explained with over 40 more Masonic Facts About George Washington

Therefore we jump to Washington's Death and the ensuing events, with the quotes and facts that followed:

[22] Washington died quite suddenly - from working in his fields to death within 48-hours - without a Christian minister, but rather with his "Masonic Worshipful Master", Dr. Elisha. C Dick, of the New Version of the American Lodge at Alexandria #22 by his bedside.

(SOURCE: Read the funeral account of your choice: The account by ‘Commonwealth Institute of Funeral Service © 2003 is one of the best.)

[23] Thus the Masonic Community knew immediately, and took control completely regarding Washington's funeral, Mrs. Washington submitting to their lead, knowing it was her husband's wishes.

[24] The Masonic Lodge of Alexandria VA - Washington’s personal local Lodge - established a funeral committee of Thomas Peterkin, Joseph DeNeale, Charles Jones and John Bogne.

[25] Peter Cotton of Alexandria #22 was appointed to go to the Federal City Masonic Lodge in Washington. D.C. to invite all Master Masons to participate in the funeral.

(SOURCE: Read the funeral account of your choice: The account by ‘Commonwealth Institute of Funeral Service © 2003 is one of the best.)

[26] Washington was so averse to Christianity that he did not allow his Christian wife Martha to give him a ‘Christian Funeral in the local Episcopal Church’ where they were members.

(SOURCE: Read the funeral account of your choice: The account by ‘Commonwealth Institute of Funeral Service © 2003 is one of the best.)

[27] Instead, Washington had a ‘Full Free-Masons’ Funeral wearing their religious garments, and using their full trappings and symbolism with recited rituals.

[28] There was great response with at least five different lodges prominent in attendance, with Grand Masters, Worshipful Masters, etc.

> Masonic Lodge #4 at Fredericksburg, Va., where he had joined nearly 50 years ago and attended faithfully for years,

> Masonic Lodge #22 at Alexandria where Washington was a current member and built the Lodge to national prominence,

> Masonic Lodge #9 in Georgetown,

> Brooke Lodge #47; and

> Federal City Masonic in Washington DC with many national leaders,

[29] As the Masons completed their funeral ritual, they then declared Washington had ascended into the sky - no, not to the Heaven, or the Presence of Jesus Christ - but into the “Celestial Lodge”

(SOURCE: Frank J. DeNeale, Athens, Texas. COMMONWEALTH INSTITUTE, 2003).

Sadly, there was no one - not one person ever in Washington's life - who heard him ‘Profess belief in Christ’, ‘love of Christ' or even ‘respect for Christ' - neither family, friend, nor foe, neither in public nor private, neither in greater nor lesser degrees: not even a 'hint' that he might believe in Christ.

Quite conspicuously, Washington should be declared a ‘Non-Christian’ simply because he neither ‘Professed Christ” nor ‘Claimed Christ’ or any such similarity for himself in 50 adult years. Case be closed!

[30] “Although Washington was a life-long Episcopalian and had little use for organized religion, . . .[Conversely] Washington’s dedication to Masonic principles was extremely strong and he adhered faithfully to the Lodge’s moral philosophy."

(SOURCE: Todd Van Beck, "Washington, Father of Our Country" 2003)

[31] In spite of a certain mental slowness that plagued George Washington most of his adult life, he pursued Masonic dogma with such diligence that he finally achieved all 33 Degrees of the Scottish Rite, reaching this highest Masonic Ranking on December 20 1788 . . .

. . . taking a full 36 years after he began.

This is an achievement extremely few Masons ever achieve, and at times less than a half-dozen have existed world-wide.

(SOURCE: Frank J. DeNeale, Athens, Texas. COMMONWEALTH INSTITUTE, 2003)

[32] He was an extremely active Mason, regularly attending Masonic festivals, funerals, and meetings throughout the country, though he only made it home once during the nine-years of War.

EXAMPLE:

“General Washington and his officers attending . . . an Observance on December 28, 1778. Under the auspices of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, the Observance raised money to help alleviate suffering of the citizens during the British occupation. The British evacuated Philadelphia in June of 1778. In December, Washington visited Philadelphia . . . While there, the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania celebrated the festival . . . Washington was present on the occasion, and was honored with the chief place in the procession.

[Note the date of this event. Washington took time to do this, even during the War.]

(SOURCE: The George Washington Masonic Memorial Jan 12-2009 ‘History Page’ http://www.gwmemorial.org/history.html

[33] It is specifically recorded, that instead of using Christ & Christianity for the basis of his morality, “. . . he [Washington] fashioned a moral code based upon the teachings of the Masonic Lodge . . .”

(SOURCE: Todd Van Beck, "Washington, Father of Our Country" 2003)

[34] Though the leading ministers of the day were not able to get the renowned Washington to even speak a word of respect for Jesus Christ in his lengthy Farewell Address;

Washington spoke often and with passion of his devotion to the Free Mason Belief & Doctrine, the Masons establishing a gret Memorial in his honor after he died because of his zeal in building up the Masonic Lodge.

[35] Washington was not just an organizational officer as in the Lion’s Club or American Legion, but rather he was a Worshipful Master claiming a title for himself that is only worthy by Jesus Christ!

[36] The Masonic Lodge at the lowest levels in your local community claim not to be a religion, not wanting to disturb local Churches. However, their writings at the highest levels freely speak of Free Masonry as a religion.

Use your own judgement, considering that Masons are

> led by Worshipful Masters,

> have their own Masonic Bible,

> begin and end all functions with prayer

> to the ‘god-like Deity’ they believe to exist.

> Masons even have Deacons,

> and consider their leaders to be “The Elect”!

> Thus they call their meeting place a Masonic Temple,

> and have an Altar in their Sanctuary,

> with an elaborate funeral ceremony in which they send their adherents -

> not to Heaven but to the Celestial Lodge:

Evidence indicates most intellectually honest scholars consider this “religious” in nature and activity. Masonry is a religion, whether lower ranking members in ’Anytown, USA' understand it or not.

> However, if that does not convince you,

> consider that Masonic Scholars openly claim it to be a religion (See below)

QUOTE: "Masonry, like all the Religions, all the Mysteries, Hermeticism, and Alchemy, . . .”

(SOURCE: Pike, Albert: Masonic Morals and Dogma, p. 104-5, 3rd Degree]

[37] Perhaps confusing to the many Masons - who insist Masonry is not a separate religion is the fact that the Masons do not have or teach a separate God.

In other words Masons do not introduce a ‘new or separate name’ into the vocabulary of the religious world or of their members. Masons generally use the language of “Supreme Being”, and to correspond it with their building metaphoric language, the “Great Architect of the Universe” is common and favorite Masonic phraseology.

The Masons believe in any and all ‘claims to Supreme Beings’ from the Jewish God of Abraham, Allah of Islam, the various god’s of Hinduism & their Caste, and even Taoism, Buddhism, & Confucianism, those these religions technically do not teach a specific Supreme Being.

The Masons of the 20th century widened their belief in the ’goodness of humanity and the brotherhood of all' to accept atheists, agnostics and secular humanists who accept their vows.

The confusion arises thusly: If a dedicated Christian man from your family decides to join the Masons because most of the hierarchy where he is employed is Masonic, but not wanting to ‘offend Jesus Christ his Lord & Saviour’ tells the Lodge Leader up front that he is a ‘Born-Again Bible Believing Christian and always will be and if that causes a problem for the Masons he simply will not join . . .

This is not a problem for the Masonic Lodge as they accept any, all or no gods.

Thus the dedicated Christian is assured from his personal experience that Masons are definitely not anti-Christ! He knows, because he told them up front that Jesus came before the Masons in his life and always would!

Where Christians, ministers and theologians err, is thinking to be ‘anti-Christ means one ‘speaks against, hates-despises, does not believe in or accept Jesus as Christ. This is error, although some who are anti-Christ are this way.

The issue of being anti-Christ is believing there are other Christs-who-are-Saviours, and thus other ways to Heaven.

All who believe there is more than one-way, or a different way to Eternal Life and Reconciliation with Father God are anti-Christ!

IMPORTANTLY EXTREME!

Jesus never claimed to be “a Saviour”, “a way”, “one truth” and “one life” among many to choose from over the millennia! Jesus claimed He was “The Saviour’, The Christ”, “The Way”, “The Truth”, and “The Life” and “No one comes unto the Father except by Me!”

Believing in Jesus the ‘Man’ does not save. Believing in Jesus’ death and resurrection as the ‘Great Humanitarian & Philosopher’ does not save. Believing, loving and serving Jesus from this position does not avail Eternal life!

That’s why Jesus warned “Many shall say unto me in that day, Lord, Lord have we not preached in your Name? And in your Name cast out devils, Have we not done ‘many wonderful works in your Name"?

Christ’s reply to many such persons: “I never understood you! (knew in KJV) Depart from me ye that work apart from the Law of God"! (‘anomia’ in the Greek - translated as ‘iniquity’ in KJV)

Scripture never says we are saved by ‘Believing in Jesus!’ Scripture says we are saved by Believing in Jesus as the Christ!

Christ is the ONE promised Savior of the whole world, the ONE promised son of God to the whole world, the ONLY ONE begotten of the Father (this is the greatness of John 3.16), the ONE Ransom for the whole world, the ONE Redeemer for the whole world, the ONE WAY of Salvation for the whole world, the ONE TRUTH for the whole world, the ONE LIGHT for the whole world, the ONE MEDIATOR for the whole world, the ONE RECONCILER for the whole world.

For a person to believe in Jesus as ‘A’ Christ, ‘A’ Saviour, ‘A’ Son of God - among others - is to believe as Mahatma Gandhi believed. He simply added Jesus to his other god’s & saviors.

POP-CULTURE PLURALISM:

When a person invites Jesus to come into his heart on this condition, Jesus does not come in! That is why Scripture neither teaches nor records an example of anyone being saved by “asking Jesus to come into their heart.” This is simply ‘American Pop-Culture’.

Scripture teaches we are saved ONLY by believing in Jesus as the Christ: with Christ being a one-&-only comprehensive-&-exclusive title for Jesus of Nazareth alone: God’s One-&-Only-Virgin-Born-Son!

If a person invites Jesus into their heart, believing in Him as the Christ, He comes in to stay, promising ‘never to leave nor forsake them.’

Conversely, if a person invites Jesus into their heart where Allah, Mohammed, Confucius, Buddha, Zoraster, Lucifer, Hara Krishna, and other gods have been invited, Jesus would not - and could not - come in to a heart that does not believe-to-receive Him exclusively.

EXAMPLE of PLURALISM:This would be like a person with many spouses asking you to marry them and become one of the many in their bed . . .

You may say “No thank you” and insist: “If you want me to marry you and share your bed, you must reject all others and pledge your love only unto me - forever: then I will accept you, and know you, and come in unto you, and be yours alone - forever!”

These are EXACTLY the conditions of Jesus as the Christ: Exclusivity!

> > > It is not Jesus or . . .

> > > It is not Jesus and . . .

> > > It is Jesus Jesus only

Thus we have the absolute scripture: “whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ, is born of God! I John 5.1

Believing in Jesus-as-the-Christ: this is what saves!

> > > Nothing more,

> > > Nothing less,

> > > And nothing else!

[38] Thus the Masons are blatantly & mightily ‘anti-Christ’ - but not because they speak against Him, refuse Him, or teach that he did not exist or that He was not ‘A’ Saviour . . .

Rather Masons are ‘anti-Christ' because they accept Jesus-and “all other” gods, “ all” religions, “all Christs” and “all” ways to their ’Celestial Lodge’ and DEFINITELY AGAINST believing in Jesus as the Christ, the Saviour, the Son of God!

[39] Quite shocking even to Masons, Masonic Doctrine even accepts-&-advocates Lucifer as a Supreme Being, and if he is the one you worship, you will be accepted as a Mason just fine!

"When a Mason learns the key to the warrior … the dynamo of living power, he has learned the mystery of his Craft. The seething energies of Lucifer are in his hands and before he may step onward and upward, he must prove his ability to properly apply energy."

(SOURCE: The Lost Keys To Freemasonry, Manly P. Hall, published by the Macoy Publishing and Masonic Supply Company, Inc., Richmond, Virginia, 1976, p. 48.)

Who was Manly P. Hall? The Scottish Rite Journal [Scottish Rite being the strictest and highest branch of Masonry, the branch offering ‘Advanced Degrees 4-through-33’ beyond just the ‘Three Degrees’ offered by the Basic Beginner Masons. Thus George Washington and literally all Masonic leadership, all who hold the 32 & 33 Degree Titles, are Scottish Rite.

The Scottish Rite Journal of 1990 - not centuries ago, but recently - acclaimed Manly P. Hall in 1990 as "Masonry's Greatest Philosopher".

[40] Thus it is easily seen why Masons cannot advocate Jesus Christ & Christianity to the slightest degree - such that Washington could not even mention Christ’s Name favorably in his Farewell Address - for a one-time-in-25-years-event, because Jesus indisputably teaches and demands believing in Him to the exclusion of all others.

To advocate Jesus Christ is to reject Masonic Doctrine and goals!

[41] It was this Global Masonic “all gods including Lucifer, all religions including Satanism, all ways including Islam, all truth including Hinduism, all claims including atheism” that George Washington accepted instead of Jesus Christ . . .

. . . So diligently, so enthusiastically, so comprehensively and so successfully that he was three-times nominated Grand Master Mason of all the USA!

[42] It was this Global Masonic “all gods including Lucifer, all religions including Satanism, all ways including Islam, all truth including Hinduism, all claims including atheism” that George Washington accepted instead of Jesus Christ . . .

. . . So diligently, so enthusiastically, so comprehensively and so successfully that he was eventually named a “Worshipful Master” in Virginia in 12-20-1788!

[43] It was this Global Masonic “all gods including Lucifer, all religions including Satanism, all ways including Islam, all truth including Hinduism, all claims including atheism” that George Washington accepted instead of Jesus Christ . . .

. . . So diligently, so enthusiastically, so comprehensively and so successfully that he was was only person ever to be President of USA & Worshipful Master simultaneously !

[44] Washington was so dedicated to being the “Worshipful Master” that maintained this position and duty even while US President, equating it as equal to the Presidency!

[45] Washington was so dedicated to Masonic Doctrine, that somehow he was able to convince Congress that none of them were qualified to issue him the oath of office:

Neither the elder statesman Ben Franklin, nor Constitutionalists James Madison, John Jay, or Alexander Hamilton’ neither genius Scholar Thomas Jefferson, Author of Declaration of Independence nor John Adams, scholar, overseer of Continental Congress deciding on declaration and second to Washington in the Presidency; neither John Hancock nor Patrick Henry:

Rather, the Grand Master of all Masons in New York, Robert R. Livingston was chosen to issue his oath and swear Washington into office!

(SOURCE: Frank J. DeNeale, Athens, Texas. COMMONWEALTH INSTITUTE, 2003 )

[46] Somehow even school kids know Washington was sworn into office taking his oath with his hand on the Bible! You know this too, and Christian Historians continue to iterate and reiterate this fact to the Highest Heavens:

What Christian Historians don’t know - or refuse to tell you - (and we must suspect the latter - “How could they not know? They’re historians!”) is that the Bible Washington used to swear into office of US President, was the Masonic Bible with their extra Scriptures added!

[47] Whereas Washington’s Church membership and attendance was very infrequent - 1-Sunday-of-9 over his life - ceasing altogether once his public office seeking years were done, of which churches he was never a committed member, teaching Sunday School like Jimmy Carter & Ronald Reagan, or leading Bible Study like James Garfield & George W Bush, he was a life long Mason, dedicated to his dying breath - witnessed with his Lodge Master at his side: Worshipful Master Elisha C. Dick, of the Alexandria Lodge.

“Freemasonry was already old when a young George Washington became a member in 1752 of the Fredericksburg, Virginia Lodge. He remained a proud member and patron of “The Craft” – as Freemasonry is also called – his entire life.”

[48] Washington had a specific Masonic Vision of the USA, and the Washington Masonic Memorial, promotes that vision:

[50] With 2,000,000 Masonic contributors is to Washington’s Memorial, it is no small concern, with quite a complex of properties and structures dedicated to promoting Washington’s Masonic Vision for America!

[52] What is “Enlightenment”? You will read this word in several of Washington’s Quotes, so we need to define it the way Masons use it. Washington never studied in France nor accepted the ‘French Enlightenment’ which included secular-atheism.

Washington, philosophically, was a Mason -an organization based on god as ’the one “Supreme Being” for all religions - and Masonry defined itself throughout Europe as this “Enlightenment” as opposed to bloodshed of Catholics v Protestants and even warring Protestant factions among them selves. This is the context as used by Washington in his quotes on Enlightenment.

“What is Freemasonry? . . .It traces its origins to the Stone Mason Guilds of the 1500s. During the 1600 and 1700s, also called the Enlightenment, . . .”

(SOURCE: The George Washington Masonic Memorial Jan 12-2009 ‘What is Free Masonry Page’ http://www.gwmemorial.org/history.html )

The French Version of the enlightenment is the agnostic-atheist version of Rousseau, Nietzsche, etc.

[53] What is the context of the “Father of our Country”?

"To inspire humanity through education to emulate and promote the virtues, character and vision of George Washington, the Man, the Mason and Father of our Country."

(SOURCE: The George Washington Masonic Memorial Jan 12-2009 ‘Welcome Page’ http://www.gwmemorial.org/history.html )

[54] Not surprisingly, as soon as Martha Washington the Christian wife died, the rest of the family knowing of George’s dedication to Masonry, began sending many artifacts of his to his Masonic Lodge for a Memorial to Washington’s Masonic Vision for America, where the artifacts are this very day.

“The Alexandria Masonic Lodge, to which Washington also belonged, began receiving objects from Washington’s family and associates soon after Mrs. Washington’s death in 1802.

(SOURCE: The George Washington Masonic Memorial Jan 12-2009 ‘History Page’ http://www.gwmemorial.org/history.html )

[55] Not surprisingly, of the two branches of Masonry which neophytes may pursue - toward the 3rd Degree Master Mason (standard), or 3rd Degree Royal Arch (the religious spiritual pathway) - Washington Chose the Royal Arch pathway.

This achievement was memorialized as a gift to Washington on that occasion by his young French general Marquis de Lafayette

This may be of considerable importance, for the "Royal Arch degree is the salient, spiritual degree of Freemasonry, not excepting the degree of Master Mason" (Steinmetz, 1946, 67).

“On two occasions General Lafayette presented Masonic aprons to Washington. One of these aprons, embroidered in colored silks . . . , bore the emblems of the Holy Royal Arch degree. The fact that this apron was especially made for George Washington has led to [conclusion for many] that he was raised to that degree.”

NOTE: Many of the Lodge records that would recorded such mundane events at the time were destroyed in a fire

[56] All Americans have seen the Masonic Shriners performing at parades and festivals, ALWAYS with their outrageous hats & little racing cars; knowing that they were Masons - yet different - not sure what exactly - not really caring too much: just knowing that they mostly raised money for ‘Children’s Hospitals and Burn Centers' around the nation . . . must be good guys!

Amazingly, the outrageous hats have replaced “Menacing Turbans” and their little racing cars their “Arabian Knights’ Horses”.

As Free Masonry grew around the world, claiming to be for all men of all religions - the “Brotherhood of all men under the Fatherhood of God” - their slogan, the Masons ran into the Muslims of Islam.

With Masons basically having roots in Jewish-Christian worldview using most of their Bibles, this was not received by the Muslims: the Masons using the Jewish Nation with their Jewish King Solomon, and the building of the Jewish Temple in the Jewish City of Jerusalem - all these Jewish symbols as their ‘major metaphor for all character building of Masonry.'

The Shriners’ Branch of Free Masonry is the answer to the Masons’ Islamic problem: a separate branch of Arabic nobility within Free Masonry, to which one-third of Washington’s Masonic Memorial is devoted to in the US capital.

Somewhat amusingly, the Arabs giving up their Turbans and Horse-racing for world opinion sake, were compensated with the ‘outrageous Shriners’ hats and little race cars with they wildly race in figure-weights for hours on ends - as happily as racing horses in circles in the deserts with turbans majestic . . .”

“The Shrine Rooms [in Washington’s Masonic Memorial in WDC] are dedicated to the Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, Shriners, who have established orthopedic hospitals and burn centers for children.”

[57] As we asked Christians initially, if we believe in Christ and His teachings strongly enough concerning those of whom all speak well of, asking if Washington’s popularity among all peoples should not by itself disqualify him as a ‘Great Christian Leader.

We now ask Christians if we believe in Christ and His teachings strongly enough concerning His command to call-refer-name-recognize ‘No one as your Father here on Earth’:

Why then do we Christians call this Christ-rejecting, Lucifer-accepting, Christ-denying, Christianity-fighting Mason - George Washington - Father of our Country?

> > Do we not hear this from Christian Ministers?

> > Do we not read this written by Christian Historians?

> > Do we not find this in Christian School Curriculum?

> > Are we not rebelling against Christ’s command?

> > Do not we Protestants accuse the Catholics of sin in this command?

> > Yet the Catholics are referring to a believing “Christian Priest” as Father, while we rebellious Protestants refer to a “Christ-rejecting, Christ-denying, Pagan-honoring, Lucifer accepting Mason as out Father?”

> > This is despicable hypocrisy, and the whole world sees it as blatant dishonesty - all see it except we blind and arrogant Protestants - thus despise and reject our scholarship.

"To inspire humanity through education to emulate and promote the virtues, character and vision of George Washington, the Man, the Mason and Father of our Country."

[58] Washington’s sudden death disallowed many Masons who wanted to attend a memorial for Washington, so a Memorial Service was held two months after his death at the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, a Lodge of renown which Washington had honored with his presence and a speech the last year of his presidency:

“In 1797, he addressed the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts:"

http://www.reversespins.com/masons.html

[59] Timothy Bigelow eulogizing before the Grand Lodge at Washington’s Memorial:

“The information received from our Brethren who had the happiness to be members of the Lodge over which he presided for many years, and of which he died the Master, furnishes abundant proof of his persevering zeal for the prosperity of the institution. Constant and punctual in his attendance, scrupulous in his observance of the regulations of the Lodge, and solicitous, at all times, to communicate light and instruction, he discharged the duties of the Chair with uncommon dignity and intelligence in all the mysteries of our art.”

The facts were stated:

* * “the Lodge over which he presided for many years, and

* * of which he died the Master,

* * [members of the Lodge he presided over] furnishes abundant proof of his persevering zeal

* * for the prosperity of the institution.

* * Constant and punctual in his attendance,

* * scrupulous in his observance of the regulations of the Lodge,

* * and solicitous, at all times,

* * to communicate light and instruction,

* * he discharged the duties of the Chair (of Worshipful Master) with uncommon dignity

* * and intelligence in all the mysteries of our art.”

[60] Washington’s great dedication as a Mason is remembered by millions and praised to the Heavens as we have seen but a smattering,

So sad-the-contrast - NOT ONE MINISTER who ever knew Washington personally - or researched him deeply - would testify that he had any faith in Jesus Christ as Saviour at all!

The group of ministers who knew him well enough to offer evaluation regarding his beliefs include the following:

[61] Seven were Masonic ‘Lodge Worshipful-Masters-Ministers’ and other sundry titles:

[ Edmund Randolph, Worshipful Master at Fredericksburg VA Lodge #4 where Washington joined and retained membership all his life. Randolph was also Gov of VA, Grand Master of all Masons in VA;

Ruther Reintzel, Worshipful Master at Georgetown #9;

Rev. Dr. Thomas Davis, Alexandria Lodge #22;

Rev. William Moffat, Alexandria Lodge #22;

Rev. Dr, James Muir, D.D., Lodge Chaplain; who officiated Washington’s Masonic funeral ritual,

Dr Elisha C. Dick, Worshipful Master at Alexandria Lodge #22; who was with Washington when he died, his personal physician as well as Worshipful Master & the last of four doctors to treat Washington on his deathbed - the last to bleed him: to his death.

Robert R. Livingston, Worshipful Master & Grand Master of all Masons in New York, who was actually the one to swear Washington into office of President of the USA.

Thus George Washington's Lodge Ministers had many great things to say about him: Being a Christian was not one of them . . .

And that's just a fact!
