Thread: Jack the Ripper the Freemason (The Hidden Truth)

    I still do not comprehend, nor understand, why the ability to see the deeper meanings of, and in, people and events in scripture requires the acceptance that the people and events of scripture never really existed or occurred as depicted.

    The actions of people, whether then or now, reflect either true or false interpretation of the text. The Scriptures cannot be fully and accurately interpreted by "moderns" if we filter them with our "modern" culture and worldview.

    I believe it is vitally important to research and study the language and culture of the people to whom scripture was Divinely inspired to write. We must think like an "Israelite" in order to interpret through the worldview of the Israelites who wrote the words we read and study.

    In my opinion, that doesn't mean that once we do this, we inevitably find out that the people and events written about are merely allegorical having had no real and earthly experiences or lives as we do.

    The terrestrial and tangible earth is not a figment of imagination nor was it created as inherently evil; God said it was good. Currently, it is in a fallen state as we can plainly see death, evil and destruction all around us. The promise is that it will be restored, along with us, when this age of evil and destruction is ended.

    This will not mean we will finally realize we, the heavens and earth and all of creation were all merely "allegories"... in my humble opinion.

    Something interesting regarding freemasonry...


    Manly P. Hall in The Lost Keys of Freemasonry (Manly P. Hall 1923) speaks of the Freemasonic teachings concerning the “immortals to whom the term “phoenix” was applied, and their symbol was the mysterious two-headed bird, now called an eagle, a familiar and little understood Masonic emblem” and that “the true philosopher, liberated from his own darkest part, is translated (read: Raptured/Transfigured) like Enoch without tasting of the bitterness of death. Of such an illumined and regenerated one it was declared:

    “He hath come forth by day.” Hall reveals how this belief was derived from “…the great Egyptian initiatory ritual of the “Coming Forth by Day”” as detailed in the Egyptian Book of the Dead. The Egyptian “Coming Forth by Day” was a symbol of the Biblical Resurrection-Rapture, it being the Egyptian mystery teaching equivalent. Hall gives deference to the symbolic Freemasonic version of the Resurrection (based on Egyptian beliefs) when he states: “It is, therefore, said of the candidate that he descends into the darkness of the tomb (representing one’s death), and,after having wandered in the gray halls of Hades (underground, as within a tomb), is reborn and received as one risen from the grave.”; and that such a one was considered, like Jesus, to be immortally living priests such as those “after the order of Melchizedek.” Such was taught to the so-called Freemasonic ‘Egyptian Initiate’ concerning the Coming Forth by Day/Resurrection-Rapture as esoterically revealed by the ancient Egyptians.

    They deny the existence of a God that has power to make life and his creative power: they deny him having sons which is to deny his interest in life or creation.
    They deny the existence of a God that has having any personality or any character: they instead prefer a god of forces.
    They deny the existence of a God who is good (see denial of personality): they instead offer up a dualism of equally-matched good and evil.
    To complete it and round it off, they deny the historicity and relegate everything in scripture to mere allegory (secretly fearing the retribution they might face should it all be true).
    Interesting how Ptah, potter, water and father somewhat sound alike.
