This is because of Freemasonry's connection to the Noahide Laws that they also deny the Trinity. According to J.W. Acker, this is because Freemasonry does not want to endorse Christianity by recognizing the Trinity because other religions like Islam and Judaism deny the Trinity, and this could raise sectarian feelings in the lodges. The Noahide world religion will blend all religions, but will deny those aspects that are not Noahide-compliant, like the Trinity. Some believe Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, and Christian Science will amp up as the Noahide World Order (NWO) appears.</p><p><a href="https://www.watchman.org/profiles/pdf/freemasonryprofile.pdf">https://www.watchman.org/profiles/pdf/freemasonryprofile.pdf</a></p><p>Freemasonry as an institution, however, does not affirm the Christian belief in the Trinity.
Masons believe that if Freemasonry affirmed belief in the Trinity, that would amount to sponsoring
the Christian religion, since Christianity is the only religion that holds to this doctrine. The Masonic
policy is that “no phrase or terms should be used in a Masonic service that would arouse sectarian
feelings or wound the religious sensibilities of any Freemason.”24</p><p>24. J.W.

It starts with the early history of Judaism and ends with the defeat of Napoleon. This book tracks the exploits of the followers of the shadowy Priory of Sion as they scheme to spin a web of intrigue in their pursuit of world domination. In the late sixteenth century, they invent their own form of Freemasonry to be used as their private army. As this book attests, in the eighteenth century the rapidly expanding Freemasonry movement played crucial roles in the conflagrations known as the American and French revolutions. If you really want to discover the mysteries of Freemasonry, you should read this book!</span></p>Vincent Brunohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13311152241470112767noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931829708617830037.post-28576595718136900482023-05-23T10:11:00.000-07:002023-05-23T10:11:42.271-07:00Judeo-Freemasonry & Christian Science <div style="text-align: center;">

He discussed the Tree of Life and the Hebrew letters as they relate to masonry. He also touches on the Hermetic and Rosicrucian traditions as well as Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece.</span></p>Vincent Brunohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13311152241470112767noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931829708617830037.post-45833601738260526052023-05-16T12:00:00.003-07:002023-05-16T12:00:55.647-07:00[PDF] Christian Science lecture held at Freemason Hall<p style="text-align: center;"><b style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://bewiseasserpents.blogspot.com/2020/07/be-wise-as-serpents-table-of-contents.html" style="color: #538cd6; text-decoration-line: none;">See Table Of Contents</a></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheHSBlY6Fz6iji2sfV286tOXkpiRVZjkN29gm5mPrmtnwQnmak190rDAPZGNxR79jcR1Ifh4J8NLU7uyR9cvGbwOgC1hnIb4cU_8IxqH5sYs39ijb1cwI96DGv_vBBRyju2rtRg2YSxrRWebDFJZ6rS_BWqsj8LwXbb70sz6gipgg0QeClQsJD_nyf/s1456/reading-room-exterior-sign%5B1%5D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1456" height="220" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheHSBlY6Fz6iji2sfV286tOXkpiRVZjkN29gm5mPrmtnwQnmak190rDAPZGNxR79jcR1Ifh4J8NLU7uyR9cvGbwOgC1hnIb4cU_8IxqH5sYs39ijb1cwI96DGv_vBBRyju2rtRg2YSxrRWebDFJZ6rS_BWqsj8LwXbb70sz6gipgg0QeClQsJD_nyf/w400-h220/reading-room-exterior-sign%5B1%5D.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-size: large;">PLEASE SUPPORT ME </span></b><br style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" /><a href="https://www.patreon.com/VincentBruno" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #2196f3; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-decoration-line: none;">https://www.patreon.com/VincentBruno</a></div><p><a href=" https://adhc.lib.ua.edu/rel120/files/original/4afce06186e354bcd9a2c022519d3e9c.pdf"> https://adhc.lib.ua.edu/rel120/files/original/4afce06186e354bcd9a2c022519d3e9c.pdf</a></p><p>WASHINGTON.—Seattle (First Church): Masonic Temple Hall, Harvard and Pine Streets, 8

During my college years was the time of the Vietnam War, and I was in a major university that was kind of the center of turbulence. There were great popular movements of students, of searching for the Eastern religions, and many people coming back to their own religious roots. I approached many of the different religions until I came to my own. I studied in the rabbinical seminary in New York, and then came to Israel, got married, and was ordained as a rabbi in the field of the Kabbalah Jewish metaphysics. In all the years since, I was occupied with teaching Kabbalah, and also was a professional musician.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Tell us about the Kabbalah.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;">The Kabbalah is a language for discussing spirituality. With music you have seven notes, and through the combination of those notes all the music is made. In discussing spiritual things, the Kabbalah provides a language. There are ten spheres. We can speak about complete materiality, partial materiality, partial spirituality, complete spirituality. In that sense the Kabbalah is perfectly attuned to divine Science, which goes to the complete spirituality in which matter is recognized as not existing.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">How then did you encounter Christian Science?</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;">Four years ago my elderly father was suffering from the final stages of terminal cancer, and I went to be with him.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;">He had moved to his home, he had 24-hour nursing, he was connected to tubes. I went outside to walk in the neighborhood. And there's a sign—Christian Science Reading Room. And the sign said the Reading Room was open two hours a day, and it happened that I was there at that time. I went in. I didn't know anything at the time about Christian Science as such. I did know of the existence of Christian Science from my student years. Every major airport had a Christian Science Reading Room, so I'd had an opportunity to look at the books. And I knew that there was such a thing as healing. Anyway, I sat with the lady in this Reading Room, and told her about my father. I don't remember the ideas that were expressed as such, but I went home immediately, and told my father, "You're going to recover completely."</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;">When I visited the Reading Room, the people there, wonderful people, were not offering me any kind of intellectual ideas as such. It was the kindness, and the prayerfulness. It was the atmosphere, the gracefulness, the graciousness. Now in retrospect, it is clear to me that probably those Scientists were praying.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">I love the way you put it—that you felt the atmosphere, the love, the healing, the prayer.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;">Every day I went back to the Reading Room, and when it was Sunday, I went to the service. On the third day, my father perked up and he wanted to eat. He hadn't eaten for three months. So we brought him yogurt and ice cream. On the fourth day he wanted to eat scrambled eggs and pancakes, and I started going back and forth to the supermarket.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;">By the fifth day he was getting up out of bed. He wanted to come to the kitchen to eat. With a walker and the nurse by him, he's eating in the kitchen. By the sixth day he was sitting in front of his television set in the living room. On the sixth day he decided he wanted to get his affairs back in his hand. He'd given all of his affairs to his lawyer. To do that legally he had to prove that he was now capable.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;">So we went to the hospital for a checkup on the seventh day. Then he walked into the bank with a walker with the applause of all of the people there. It was really a fine moment. He got his affairs back in his hands. We went home to his house and got a phone call from the hospital that he was completely healed of all of what he had suffered from. And indeed he was. He lived on happily and healthily for another year.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;">And that was my introduction to Christian Science. All of his doctors and all of the people that knew him came over to the house, and everybody was astounded. What I actually witnessed here was a true resurrection. This changed my life. I decided that Christian Science is truth and that I intend to find out what it is, study this, devote my life to this. And that's exactly what I've done.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">How did you study it? I imagine you got into Mary Baker Eddy's book <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.</em></span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;">Not at first. I didn't know about <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Science and Health.</em> All I knew was there was a Christian Science Reading Room and that my dad was completely recovered. I went back to Israel, and looked at the Internet. Eventually I realized Christian Science is centered in Boston.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Boston is where the headquarters of the Church is. But Christian Science a worldwide movement.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;">But I knew that Boston was the center, and I said that must be the place to start. So, a number of months later, I came to this very building [The Christian Science Publishing Society], and I went into The Mary Baker Eddy Library. I asked around for a Christian Science practitioner. And someone directed me to a spiritual healing center on Massachusetts Avenue, which is open to the public. It's called Solutions through Prayer.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;">A Christian Science practitioner is there, and anyone from the public is welcome to go in and speak to him or her. So that's what I did. And I spoke to the practitioner there, and he began prayer treatments for me. And then we were in communication with e-mail after I returned to Israel.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">And by that time had you gotten into <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Science and Health?</em></span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;">I bought one from the practitioner. And he was sending me passages from <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Science and Health.</em> He stayed with me in those early times as a guide.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">And were there some particular passages in <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Science and Health</em> that really resonated with you?</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;">My first spiritual task was to resolve what appeared to be a dichotomy between my Jewish religious life and my deep interest in Christian Science. How did these two fit together? Certainly on an experiential level it was clear to me that they did. But I had to have some kind of platform to stand upon. So I came upon the passage that starts at the bottom of page 360 in <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Science and Health</em> with a brilliant metaphysical, logical explanation of what exactly is the common denominator, the interface between Christian Science theology and Jewish theology.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Will you read the passage for us?</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;">"... to-day, Jew and Christian can unite in doctrine and denomination on the very basis of Jesus' words and works. The Jew believes that the Messiah or Christ has not yet come; the Christian believes that Christ is God. Here Christian Science intervenes, explains these doctrinal points, cancels the disagreement, and settles the question. Christ, as the true spiritual idea, is the ideal of God now and forever, here and everywhere. The Jew who believes in the First Commandment is a monotheist; he has one omnipresent God. Thus the Jew unites with the Christian's doctrine that God is come and is present now and forever. The Christian who believes in the First Commandment is a monotheist. Thus he virtually unites with the Jew's belief in one God, and recognizes that Jesus Christ is not God, as Jesus himself declared, but is the Son of God."</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">So what did that mean to you?</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;">We're looking at the three words, <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">God, Christ,</em> and <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Jesus,</em> from three different perspectives—from the perspective of the Jew, the Christian, the Christian Scientist. The Christian will group the three in one group; God, Christ, and Jesus are indistinguishable. Jesus is God, the Christ is God, the Christ is Jesus and so on. This is unacceptable to the Jewish thought because Jesus is a man. We don't want to deify man. But Christian Science takes this list—God, Christ, and Jesus—and distinguishes between them in a completely unique way. First of all, Jesus is distinguished from God. Jesus was the man, the reflection of the Christ. The Christ in Christian Science is "the ideal of God now and forever." The Christ is God's idea of man, the perfect man. That's what the Jewish concept of the Messiah is also, the perfect man. So now we see that Christian Science, which agrees that Jesus is not God, agrees perfectly with Judaism, which says the same thing. The Jews will say, "Well, then, what is the Christ? Don't you think it's the same as Jesus?" And Christian Science says, "No. The Christ is in all of us. It's eternal. It's God's eternal thought of man."</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;">Christ Jesus was a rabbi who kept the Jewish commandments. And now in my life, Christian Science is illuminating my Jewish metaphysical thought so that, for me personally, it's one thing. There's one God.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;"></p><div class="pull-quote" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1b1044; font-family: poppins, sans-serif; font-size: 24px; line-height: 48px; margin: 40px 0px; padding: 8px 0px;">"I decided that Christian Science is truth and that I intend to find out what it is, study this, devote my life to this.

I had a rebellious son. I responded as a stubborn father. Basically this created a situation of very serious estrangement which I suffered from enormously, and I'm sure he did too. One of the first things that I learned in Science was about love and the centralness of love in healing and in prayer.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;">So I made for myself a daily session, sometimes for hours, of closing myself into my room and sitting and loving my son. I didn't even know where he was. I was just sending my waves of love through spiritual space to him. After a certain amount of time, we talked on the phone, for the first time in several years. It took another month and another conversation, and then we had dinner together. We embraced each other, and it was gone. The whole estrangement was gone.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">How did the family react to your study of Christian Science?</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;">Mainly what my wife saw was how things were working out. She saw how I got it back together with my son. When that problem was resolved, she was already with me. She encouraged me to go back to America to look for a Christian Science teacher.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">And did Primary class instruction in Christian Science help?</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;">That put things on an entirely new footing. That brought clarity, an overall vision of what the entire scope of Christian Science is. Recently, I felt it necessary to discuss Christian Science openly with my children. So we had a family gathering in which all of my grown children, my six children, and my two sons-in-law and my daughter-in-law and the whole family, the wider family, were all together. They were prepared that Dad had a speech to make. I told them what I was doing, about healing. I told them that in no way does Christian Science interfere with my Jewish observance. Christian Science is universal. It illuminates anything and everything. If I'm a rabbi, I become an illuminated rabbi. If you're a businessman, you're an illuminated one.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Or if you're in some other religion, right?</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;">Christian Science extends to all religions because it is a meta-religion. As is I think widely known, Mrs. Eddy didn't originally intend to start a religious denomination. She thought that the Christian world would accept the teachings. It didn't work out that way; the world was not yet prepared for such a thing. So she started the Christian Science Church. But Christian Science is universal. And I expressed this to my children. They understood me. So they're all behind me. My sons-in-law are rabbis. One is the head of a rabbinical seminary. My two sons are also rabbis. And they all said, "Go for it, Dad. It's just fine." It was beautiful.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">So you feel there is a receptivity to Christian Science in Israel?</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;">The only thing I have to be careful about is this point: that Jesus Christ is not God. Once that is understood, there is no problem according to Jewish law or theology. Christian Science is unique in this understanding. Israel in general is wide open to healing. I'm certain that God will bring the understanding of what healing is in Israel, and that promises to be a truly glorious thing.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">What do you see as the role of Christian Science in the whole world?</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;">Divine Science is the infinite revelation of God's thoughts in a way that any human being, any man or woman who so desires and is willing to devote the time and effort to study, can understand. We have, as Mrs. Eddy states so beautifully, the "conscious, constant capacity" for understanding God. We're all prophets of God, in the sense that all of us can hear God's Word. He speaks to us all the time. We just have to learn how to hear His language. We also have to learn how to pray. Wanting goodness, wanting infinite goodness, is prayer. God Himself will take your desire and uplift it and turn it into a prayer. That's His work.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">That has strong implications for world peace—and for peace in the Middle East.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;">Absolutely. The Middle East has the characteristic of being the kind of microcosm of the whole world. Israel itself is a microcosm—all the religions, all the civilizations, all the cultures in the world are all packed together in a country not so much larger than the greater Boston area. But if Christian Science is understood among the Jewish people, and the Christian people, and the Arabic, the Islamic people in our area in the Middle East—then that's a good laboratory for it to be understood in the world. There's one God, one Truth, one goodness. And the Science is the Science—scientific.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">And what do you see as your role as a Christian Scientist who is also a rabbi?</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;">Certainly my immediate goal has two sides. One, to go home to Israel and to take what I've learned and live in Israel. And in a quiet way, in a simple way, in a neighborly way, look for opportunities to say a good word. The kids are really ready for it in Israel. There's a great liberality on spiritual matters, and a great searching.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;">And the other aspect of my interest is to speak to Christian Scientists, which is an entirely different world, because they already know the truth and the Science. I would like to speak to Christian Science youth, and to encourage them, to show them how vast and what an instrument of understanding it is for them in whatever career they would take. Mary Baker Eddy touched the point that no one, no one, has touched. I studied metaphysics for 40 years. There cannot be in my view the world peace without an understanding of Mary Baker Eddy's writings, her life—what she went through. By understanding these things, you're linking yourself to the unique expression of God's thought for our times in the most modern, the most immediate sense. I am truly dedicating my lifework to making that point clear to my own countrymen and to the rabbis I'm associated with.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px;">And the same is true for Christian Scientists who already know this beautiful Science. They should also appreciate what they've got. Young people may not see what a great gift they have already in their hands. So I would emphasize how precious is this work of <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.</em> How precious and valuable it is for the culmination of the aspirations of all of humanity. It is a law of God. |<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">css</span></p></div>Vincent Brunohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13311152241470112767noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931829708617830037.post-854224677887183822023-05-16T09:06:00.002-07:002024-02-19T08:14:56.283-08:00Judeo-Freemasonry & Mormonism <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In the near future, two important studies of that relationship are slated to be published – Method Infinite: Freemasonry and the Mormon Restoration by Cheryl L. Bruno, Joe Steve Swick III, and Nicholas S. Literski, which will be available on 9 August from Greg Kofford Books (which discusses possible influences of Freemasonry on Joseph Smith’s ministry throughout his life) and Freemasonry and the Origins of Latter-day Saint Temple Ordinances by Jeffrey M. Bradshaw, which is anticipated to be released the same day by the Interpreter Foundation (and which analyzes the relationship of Freemason rituals and Latter Day Saint temple rituals). Last week, two interviews related to these books (one with Cheryl L. Bruno and one with Jeffrey M. Bradshaw) were published on the Latter-day Saint history and theology blog From the Desk. What follows here is a co-post to the two interviews.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jeffrey Bradshaw summed up the crux of the concern that members of the Church have when approaching Freemasonry. He wrote:</p><p><br /></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;">There are elements of the Nauvoo temple ordinances—for example, some of the signs and tokens and related language—that are almost identical in form to those used in Masonic rites. Since Freemasonry is an 18th century creation, similarities like these seem to undermine Joseph Smith’s claims that the temple ordinances are ancient.</p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p>The same applies to the Restoration in a broader context.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yet, each author approached the idea open to the possibility that the Prophet Joseph Smith was indeed influenced by Masonry, and each is okay with that to one degree or another. Cheryl L. Bruno, for example, wrote that:</p><p><br /></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;">Masonic ritual was created very purposefully to illuminate Christian ideas and to symbolically bring a human being into the presence of God. Joseph Smith used many of these same techniques in both the Latter-day Saint priesthood structure and in our most sacred rituals.</p></blockquote><p><br /></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><p>The knowledge of Masonic use of symbol and ritual gives Latter-day Saints a key to understanding what is happening in our most sacred ordinances. Members of the church often don’t have the same kind of preparation that Latter-day Saint Masons had before they experienced the endowment, and thus it can be very disorienting. I found that learning the Masonic meanings behind certain symbols or rituals made my temple experience more understandable and enjoyable.</p><p><br /></p><p>But even further than this, a more complete understanding of Masonry’s effect on Mormonism can help us comprehend an early version of our history that may seem strange and foreign to the modern Latter-day Saint. I find the beauty of the esoteric side of Mormonism shines strongly when illuminated by the light of its Masonic antecedent.</p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p>Jeffrey Bradshaw likewise expressed his opinion that:</p><p><br /></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><p>Revelation is something like Creation. God doesn’t create things or ideas in the minds of prophets ex nihilo, but rather tends to make use of pre-existing materials—organizing and shaping unorganized matter until “it is good” in His sight. …</p><p><br /></p><p>Divine revelation is precisely the means by which God helps to shape and organize our understandings of these pre-existing materials into a more correct result. And, along the way, God intends us to be active collaborators with Him in the process. …</p><p><br /></p><p>From this perspective, divine revelation and Joseph Smith’s participation in Freemasonry are not competing explanations for the origins of temple ordinances. Rather they are, along with other important elements such as the revelations he received during his Bible translation project, complementary parts of the same interwoven process.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the one hand, the Prophet’s awareness of temple- and priesthood-related matters spurred his interest in learning more about certain aspects of the Bible and Freemasonry and his encounters with Freemasonry and the Bible served as a catalyst to prayerful inquiries about temple-related topics. I believe that through revelation prophets can come to know ancient things that would otherwise be unknown to them.</p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p>There are ways to approach the subject of Masonic influences on the Prophet’s ministry and, by extension, our religion without rejecting the divinity of that religion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, one thing that has part of the discussion about that influence over the years is that Joseph Smith officially became a Freemason in 1842, but many of the ideas that show potential Masonic influence came earlier than that time period. There are logical explanations for that, however. As Bruno explained:</p><p><br /></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><p>In modern times, we just don’t realize what a cultural influence Freemasonry had in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Virtually everyone would have had some experience with Masonry, whether it was through having a close relative or friend who was a Freemason, reading the newspapers, or attending public lectures.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many of the important men in town—doctors, lawyers, clergymen, and political figures—were Masons. Joseph Smith’s uncles, cousin, brothers, most likely his father, and many associates were Masons.</p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p>Bradshaw also noted that:</p><p><br /></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;">A ready source of information about Masonry for the young Prophet would have been the exposés of the anti-Masonic movement, whose epicenter was not far from the Smith home. He must have discussed Masonic ideas and controversies with his contemporaries—including the sudden, suspicious disappearance of anti-Mason William Morgan in 1826.</p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p>Thus, there are ways in which Joseph Smith could have come to know about Masonry prior to becoming a Freemason himself.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as the extent of Masonic influences on Joseph Smith, the different authors do disagree on the extent of that influence. Jeffrey Bradshaw, for example, wrote that “evidence of Masonic language and ideas in the Book of Mormon and the Book of Moses is generally unconvincing” and that:</p><p><br /></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><p>I think it’s futile to try to determine the source that provided the initial spark of inspiration for a given element of the temple ordinances.</p><p><br /></p><p>For example, did the original idea for special temple clothing come from Freemasonry?</p><p><br /></p><p>Or did it come from the Bible?</p><p><br /></p><p>Or was it due to Joseph Smith’s creative genius?</p><p><br /></p><p>Or was it pure revelation?</p><p><br /></p><p>Though we sometimes have pretty good hints about such things, it is ultimately a dead-end approach because we simply don’t have the complete set of data we would need to answer these questions reliably. …</p><p><br /></p><p>I described thirty-one elements of the temple ordinances one by one in light of precedents in the Bible, ancient sources, and Freemasonry. …</p><p><br /></p><p>For each element, I determined whether it better resembled something from Freemasonry or from antiquity. …</p><p><br /></p><p>With respect to most of these elements, there is very little overlap. …</p><p><br /></p><p>There were other elements of the Masonic rites where I was able to find some kind of relationship to the temple ordinances. More will surely be found as time goes on. In three instances, it was my judgment that the rites of Freemasonry had a stronger relationship to the element of the Nauvoo temple ordinances in question than did the Bible and ancient sources: ritual gestures, ritual language patterns, and the sacred embrace.</p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p>Cheryl Bruno, on the other hand, leans more on the idea that Masonic influence was pervasive throughout Joseph Smith’s life:</p><p><br /></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><p>Midrash is a Jewish form of Biblical interpretation that explains or fills in gaps in the scriptural record. Often, Joseph Smith used this technique, adding Masonic legend and ideas to expand the Bible and to create new texts.</p><p><br /></p><p>Our book comments on each form of Latter-day Saint scripture (Joseph Smith’s translation of the Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Egyptian papers) and gives examples of Masonic midrash found therein. It’s quite fascinating to see so many Masonic ideas within our familiar religious texts. …</p><p><br /></p><p>Some authors have portrayed Joseph Smith as anti-Masonic early in his life, while changing his mind later when he joined the Lodge in the 1840s. We reject the idea that Joseph was ever anti-Masonic. Rather, he spoke against what he considered “apostate” or “spurious” Masonry.</p><p><br /></p><p>He believed Masonry had degenerated and he had been called to restore it to its pure form. Joseph Smith as a Masonic restorer provides astonishing insights into what Joseph was trying to accomplish with Latter-day Saint institutions such as the Danites, the Relief Society, the Anointed Quorum, and the Council of Fifty, as well as non-Mormon institutions such as the Nauvoo Masonic Lodge.</p><p><br /></p><p>It also shows that Joseph’s remarks, behaviors, and perspective on Masonry were consistent and fundamentally unchanged throughout his prophetic ministry.</p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p>The extent of the influence will likely continue to be a matter of controversy and discussion, since it’s difficult to pick apart Joseph Smith’s thoughts and understand where precisely every idea that he expressed came from.</p><p><br /></p><p>For more on Freemasonry and its relationship with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, head on over to the Latter-day Saint blog From the Desk and read the interviews by Cheryl L.

Also, if you know nothing about Freemasonry, or the Mormon-Mason connection please educate yourself <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freemasonry" style="color: #347977;">here</a> and <a href="http://www.lightplanet.com/mormons/response/qa/temple_masonry.htm" style="color: #347977;">here</a>.</p><p style="line-height: 22px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">In a nutshell, Freemasonry is a secret, fraternal organization with roots in Enlightenment Europe. Any ideas that Freemasonry represents an unbroken ritual tradition going back to Solomon’s Temple via the Knights Templar belong (pretty much) in the bin next to the DaVinci Code. Freemasonry is a theistic organization, believing in a Grand Architect (= God) and claims to welcome people of all religions. Through rituals closely wedded to architectural symbolism and hoary legend, Freemasons are initiated into various "degrees" where they learn "secrets" intended to make them better, more enlightened individuals. Once upon a time, anyone who was anyone was a Mason (provided, of course, they were men). Famous Masons include George Washington, Winston Churchill, Roy Rogers (!), and Joseph Smith.</p><p style="line-height: 22px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;"><span id="more-1352"></span></p><p style="line-height: 22px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">Joseph was raised as a Master Mason in Nauvoo in 1842, with most of the Brethren also joining at this time (although some Mormons, like Hyrum Smith, had been Masons for years). Unfortunately, Mormon Masons soon fell-out with other Illinois Masons, some of whom were complicit in Joseph’s martyrdom. It has been said that Joseph gave a Masonic distress signal ("Is there no help for the widow’s son?") before he was shot. Mormon Masonry was abandonded in Utah, but its symbols abound: the beehive, the all-seeing eye, the square and compass, the clasped-hands.</p><p style="line-height: 22px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">I don’t want to discuss the Mormon-Mason ritual connection here. Read David Buerger’s the <a href="http://www.signaturebooks.com/mysteries.htm" style="color: #347977;">Mysteries of Godliness</a> for that (or try the "<a href="http://www.masonicmoroni.com/" style="color: #347977;">Masonic Moroni</a>" online). What interests me is whether a Mormon can also be a Mason. First, some background. I have been interested in Freemasonry for years and someone I know very well, who also happens to be a strong, active Mormon joined the Brotherhood a couple of years ago. Consequently I have been to several public Masonic meetings both in the US and in the UK. Some of the grandest buildings I have ever visited are the Scottish Rite Temple of Freemasonry in Baltimore, and Freemasons’ Hall in London.</p><p style="line-height: 22px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">I myself have no interest in joining, and have noted a conflict in my friend’s approach to his Masonry. On the one hand, he enjoys the fraternity and the pageantry, believing that his Masonic Lodge is the Priesthood Quorum he never had. On the other, he tells nobody at Church that he is a Mason. Masons are allowed to divulge their membership (and today are even encouraged to do so), and only the rituals are secret (which incidentally, involve hand-shakes, nooses, blindfolds, and the reenactment of certain biblical dramas). Yet, he feels that his fellow Latter-day Saints would have a dim view of his membership because either:</p><p style="line-height: 22px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">1. They have a sensationalist view of Masonry, believing it to be a cult-like group</p><p style="line-height: 22px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">2. They think that Masonic-Mormon ritual parallels suggest the former is apostate</p><p style="line-height: 22px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">3. They point out that the Church Handbook advises against joining "oath-bound" groups</p><p style="line-height: 22px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">4. They would say he should be spending his time going to the Mormon temple not the Masonic temple.</p><p style="line-height: 22px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">Of course, what many Latter-day Saints simply fail to realise is that Masonry was considered a by-form of Mormon male expression in the Nauvoo period. So, if it was good enough for Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, John Taylor, Wilford Woodruff, and Lorenzo Snow why is my friend embarrassed about heralding his own membership? Of course, things change, and the aformentioned brothers were also polygamous, but it is interesting to note that Mormonism’s drift from Masonry in Utah was not so much because Mormons came to distrust Masonry (the bitterness that certain Illinois Masons left them was probably not directed at Masonry itself), but because Utah Masons were synonymous with anti-Mormons. The infamous expose of the Mormon Temple Ritual, "Lifting the Vail. (sic) The Endowment House Mysteries Fully Explained," was the work of Robert Newton Baskin, who was a member of Mt. Moriah Lodge No. 2. Remarkably for an organisation that promotes tolerance, Utah Masonry only removed its ban on Mormons becoming Masons in Utah on January 31, <strong>1984</strong>.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 22px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">From what I have read, I know of no offical ban from the Church on Mormons becoming Masons despite what some misinformed members might say. My friend need not be ashamed, for Brother Joseph was a "Brother" in more ways than one. Are there any Mormon Masons out there in the ‘Nacle? It’s time to come out.</p></div>Vincent Brunohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13311152241470112767noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931829708617830037.post-70539382338634474842023-05-16T08:49:00.000-07:002023-05-16T08:49:11.074-07:00[VIDEO] Joseph Smith’s Masonic Connections with Cheryl Bruno<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://bewiseasserpents.blogspot.com/2020/07/be-wise-as-serpents-table-of-contents.html" style="color: #538cd6; text-decoration-line: none;">See Table Of Contents</a></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTi5QuwiQPMwamMGSV6Kx20dGBbr5NB0k_Q8jPdHlIvGwMJOa1QKbNBnyw4VwHN2ZSSlDuEZulIzIicpH0X-FVRLiKksxdN3qZEWfZbYxR4p2Mbv5WcOqdQyxPRA0cVN1g4jNEfq-2lCdQTSN1ZJoBb-N_fPxSyKrdoMb-d83shJ2lmFVoFzxCyOpx/s400/02-JSmason%5B1%5D%5B1%5D.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="224" data-original-width="400" height="224" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTi5QuwiQPMwamMGSV6Kx20dGBbr5NB0k_Q8jPdHlIvGwMJOa1QKbNBnyw4VwHN2ZSSlDuEZulIzIicpH0X-FVRLiKksxdN3qZEWfZbYxR4p2Mbv5WcOqdQyxPRA0cVN1g4jNEfq-2lCdQTSN1ZJoBb-N_fPxSyKrdoMb-d83shJ2lmFVoFzxCyOpx/w400-h224/02-JSmason%5B1%5D%5B1%5D.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><b style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-size: large;">PLEASE SUPPORT ME </span></b><br style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" /><a href="https://www.patreon.com/VincentBruno" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #2196f3; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-decoration-line: none;">https://www.patreon.com/VincentBruno</a><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>Joseph Smith’s Masonic Connections with Cheryl Bruno</b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oY2RJwb-uCc">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oY2RJwb-uCc</a></p>Vincent Brunohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13311152241470112767noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931829708617830037.post-30742704768768065472023-05-16T08:35:00.002-07:002023-05-16T08:35:52.447-07:00[RECOMMENDED READING] Jew and Mormon: Historic Group Relations and Religious Outlook by Rudolf Glanz<p style="text-align: center;"> <b style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://bewiseasserpents.blogspot.com/2020/07/be-wise-as-serpents-table-of-contents.html" style="color: #538cd6; text-decoration-line: none;">See Table Of Contents</a></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKDBRSb8yYxnxBeSHlT7znpt6LtcP1n4bSPPafMYn2tWqMKhO_Ju9QFfWfeW-dUR1wRd4XadQQ5WBOWRfHQz1qjyqlnsRq2IlWYaKASMAsTMhmeQa1LRXbKWrmkuy_Wbd_WNecP-YXImqbzfHaU_9M78DgPl5TC5ySyQphFNd3Wa0ZgyIgLmbIXWj-/s525/LF6ukUD%5B1%5D.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="290" data-original-width="525" height="221" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKDBRSb8yYxnxBeSHlT7znpt6LtcP1n4bSPPafMYn2tWqMKhO_Ju9QFfWfeW-dUR1wRd4XadQQ5WBOWRfHQz1qjyqlnsRq2IlWYaKASMAsTMhmeQa1LRXbKWrmkuy_Wbd_WNecP-YXImqbzfHaU_9M78DgPl5TC5ySyQphFNd3Wa0ZgyIgLmbIXWj-/w400-h221/LF6ukUD%5B1%5D.png" width="400" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><b style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-size: large;">PLEASE SUPPORT ME </span></b><br style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" /><a href="https://www.patreon.com/VincentBruno" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #2196f3; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-decoration-line: none;">https://www.patreon.com/VincentBruno</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=xrkAAAAAMAAJ&source=gbs_similarbooks">https://books.google.com/books?id=xrkAAAAAMAAJ&source=gbs_similarbooks</a></p><p>Jew and Mormon: Historic Group Relations and Religious Outlook by Rudolf Glanz</p><p><br /></p>Vincent Brunohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13311152241470112767noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931829708617830037.post-67264200306670415342023-05-16T08:28:00.000-07:002023-05-16T08:28:19.556-07:00[RECOMMENDED READING] The Mormon Attitude Toward Zionism by Truman G.

Levenda also discussed the Mormons connection to Howard Hughes, Richard Nixon and Watergate as well as the role of Mormons in contemporary Presidential elections.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: -4px 0px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">This is the fascinating story of a purely American religion, its occult origins, and the rise of Mormons in American politics.</span></p>Vincent Brunohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13311152241470112767noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931829708617830037.post-80517995332379261582023-05-16T08:16:00.000-07:002023-05-16T08:16:17.187-07:00Mormonism's Gadianton robbers (freemasons?) and historical parallels by Daniel Peterson [Mormonism & Anti-Masonry]<p style="text-align: center;"><b style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://bewiseasserpents.blogspot.com/2020/07/be-wise-as-serpents-table-of-contents.html" style="color: #538cd6; text-decoration-line: none;">See Table Of Contents</a></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGgI4NPDEXCZApBF8AJHipQrcM_WMaxy3XXR1x7pBfMGy66T3j4MZJ4kvP_PK6mQqtuwqRqXA8uAwvAVcuFtW2NbyZc1Kq0hTmXDBaSwt9yAy7fMkphx7oH7CMyxJDD00aAqx362ITqVhAJvX6e4-R2AOl-X1iHsqrJ94BBUcbe_cWpLWuafPCueoY/s751/3350.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="751" data-original-width="700" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGgI4NPDEXCZApBF8AJHipQrcM_WMaxy3XXR1x7pBfMGy66T3j4MZJ4kvP_PK6mQqtuwqRqXA8uAwvAVcuFtW2NbyZc1Kq0hTmXDBaSwt9yAy7fMkphx7oH7CMyxJDD00aAqx362ITqVhAJvX6e4-R2AOl-X1iHsqrJ94BBUcbe_cWpLWuafPCueoY/w373-h400/3350.jpg" width="373" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-size: large;">PLEASE SUPPORT ME </span></b><br style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" /><a href="https://www.patreon.com/VincentBruno" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #2196f3; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-decoration-line: none;">https://www.patreon.com/VincentBruno</a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p><a href=" https://www.deseret.com/2010/11/11/20367641/daniel-peterson-gadianton-robbers-and-historical-parallels"> https://www.deseret.com/2010/11/11/20367641/daniel-peterson-gadianton-robbers-and-historical-parallels</a></p><p><b>Daniel Peterson: Gadianton robbers and historical parallels</b></p><p>By Daniel Peterson, Columnist</p><p> Nov 11, 2010, 7:00am EDT</p><p>Dan Peterson, For Mormon Times</p><p><br /></p><p>Secret combinations, especially the so-called "Gadianton robbers," figure prominently in the latter half of the Book of Mormon, contributing to the downfall of both Jaredites and Nephites. (In Joseph Smith's day, the word "combination" was essentially a synonym for "conspiracy.")</p><p><br /></p><p>"And it came to pass that they did have their signs, yea, their secret signs, and their secret words; and this that they might distinguish a brother who had entered into the covenant, that whatsoever wickedness his brother should do he should not be injured by his brother, nor by those who did belong to his band, who had taken this covenant" (Helaman 6:22).</p><p><br /></p><p>Critics of Mormonism have compared them to the Masons of the early American republic. Just prior to the 1830 publication of the Book of Mormon, in fact, near Joseph Smith's home, a man named William Morgan was murdered for divulging Masonic secrets, and denunciations of their secret oaths and alleged criminal activities were everywhere. In this environment, the robbers of Gadianton must, indeed, have seemed Mason-like.</p><p><br /></p><p>But subsequent generations of readers have been reminded of the Communists, al-Qaeda, Colombian drug cartels, and other malevolent and murderous conspiracies, and this should caution critics against trying to dismiss them as, simply, thinly-disguised Masons.</p><p><br /></p><p>In fact, there is much more to the Gadianton robbers than the analogy with the Masons can account for. They offer, for instance, a textbook illustration of basic principles of guerrilla warfare — military techniques with which we moderns have become sadly familiar since Vietnam (and in Afghanistan), but about which very little had been written prior to Vo Nguyen Giap, Che Guevara and Mao Zedong. They began as urban political assassins, but then, just as many such groups have done in the centuries since, withdrew into mountain redoubts from which they waged war against established governments.</p><p><br /></p><p>Moreover, the authors of the Book of Mormon themselves repeatedly declare that they are deliberately withholding information about the Gadiantons, presumably because of the seductive nature of Gadiantonism. It was, plainly, an alternate religious and political vision, a revolutionary ideology, that many Nephites and Lamanites found attractive. It had its own canonical texts, which, the Book of Mormon insists, were revealed by the devil.</p><p><br /></p><p>But the Gadiantons viewed them differently. In a notable letter written by Giddianhi ("the governor of this the secret society of Gadianton") to the Nephite chief governor — significantly, perhaps, Giddianhi's title mirrors that of the head of the Nephite state — and preserved in 3 Nephi 3, the Gadianton leader declares his "society and the works thereof" to be "good." "They are of ancient date and they have been handed down unto us." His followers, he says, "have dissented away from you because of your wickedness in retaining from them their rights of government," and he vows to "avenge their wrongs."</p><p><br /></p><p>Unless, that is, the Nephites "unite with us and become acquainted with our secret works, and become our brethren that ye may be like unto us — not our slaves, but our brethren and partners of all our substance."</p><p><br /></p><p>Obviously, these are not mere robbers; robbers need victims to plunder. The authors of the Book of Mormon employed prejudicial language — loaded propaganda terms — to paint Gadiantonism in an unfavorable light.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>In fact, far better parallels to Gadianton's robbers exist in the medieval Near East, in late republican Rome and in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica than in frontier New York. One faction of the Isma'ili Shi'ite sect of Islam, for instance, was actually known as the "Assassins," and we use that word even today because they were so very effective at what they did.</p><p><br /></p><p>Those insisting that the Gadianton robbers emerged solely from Joseph Smith's environment have not considered other periods, other environments, as much as they should have.</p><p><br /></p><p>Relevant Latter-day Saint studies of the Gadiantons include John W. Welch and Kelly Ward, "Thieves and Robbers" (1985); Daniel C. Peterson, "The Gadianton Robbers as Guerrilla Warriors" (1990), "Notes on 'Gadianton Masonry'" (1990) and "'Secret Combinations' Revisited" (1992); Paul Mouritsen, "Secret Combinations and Flaxen Cords: Anti-Masonic Rhetoric and the Book of Mormon" (2003); and Nathan Oman, "Secret Combinations: A Legal Analysis" (2004). All are available on the website of BYU's Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship. Some of my notes on the medieval Islamic "futuwwa" movement(s) are currently being edited for publication; parallels to Gadiantonism will be readily apparent.</p>Vincent Brunohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13311152241470112767noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931829708617830037.post-80912544636352640012023-05-15T12:17:00.001-07:002023-05-15T12:17:08.400-07:00[VIDEO] 412: Reconciling Joseph’s Magic & Masonry with Clair Barrus<p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://bewiseasserpents.blogspot.com/2020/07/be-wise-as-serpents-table-of-contents.html" style="color: #538cd6; text-decoration-line: none;">See Table Of Contents</a></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCdUBjkMRdxouxm0IaeeRj0ZtcuPLnnWhH_XqDvD8zSZc0jrBy7J6zSEHrmiomGyE22Izb2y23QMyG_a85R2wapSfjluAfEahL99liPmvDpr6WtgUi3_v0OWr5jsb7foU541Z4YsJapFzmT4VCQrjb5Ih0kXs3PfPkD46v1HT1wAswrSdXEUTZsHgk/s616/07-reconcilemagic%5B1%5D.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="348" data-original-width="616" height="362" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCdUBjkMRdxouxm0IaeeRj0ZtcuPLnnWhH_XqDvD8zSZc0jrBy7J6zSEHrmiomGyE22Izb2y23QMyG_a85R2wapSfjluAfEahL99liPmvDpr6WtgUi3_v0OWr5jsb7foU541Z4YsJapFzmT4VCQrjb5Ih0kXs3PfPkD46v1HT1wAswrSdXEUTZsHgk/w640-h362/07-reconcilemagic%5B1%5D.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-size: large;">PLEASE SUPPORT ME </span></b><br style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" /><a href="https://www.patreon.com/VincentBruno" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #2196f3; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-decoration-line: none;">https://www.patreon.com/VincentBruno</a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><b>412: Reconciling Joseph’s Magic & Masonry with Clair Barrus</b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmFgvI5b_SI ">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmFgvI5b_SI </a></span></p>Vincent Brunohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13311152241470112767noreply@blogger.com0
