Notes from our Audio / Video teaching... |
• What is The Eastern star?
The Eastern star is a fraternal
organisation which was founded to
satisfy the curiosity of wives of
Freemasons. It is a Masonic
organisation which claims to be
based on teaching from the Bible.
• Who may belong?
Each Chapter must be presided over
by at least two men, so it is open
to both men and women. It is aimed
at adult women who are related by
birth, marriage or adoption to a
Master Mason.
• Are there other Freemasonry
groups for women?
In England women may also belong to:
The Honourable Fraternity of ancient
Freemasons
The Order of Women Freemasons
International Co-Freemasonry.
• How long has the Eastern Star
existed?
There are various claims as to the
origins of this organisation, 1730
in France, 1778 in America or 1849
by Rob Morris, an American
Freemason. Rob Morris certainly
developed the Fraternal in an
original way. His successor, Robert
Macoy, through financial abuse,
encouraged massive growth in The
Eastern Star throughout America.
There are currently around one
million members worldwide.
• What do Eastern Star members
do?
Eastern Star meetings include an act
of worship, and salvation by works
is implied. Through ritualism and
stories members are encouraged into
deep fraternal bonds with one
another. The stated purpose of each
Chapter is ‘charitable, educational,
fraternal and scientific’.
• Why are Christians saying this
organisation is ungodly?
As Bible believing Christians, we
are of the opinion that the Order is
founded on the distorted and mis-interpreted
Word of god, with the deliberate
intention of leading ignorant women
into the snares of Freemasonry.
Freemasonry is a form of Baal
worship, drawing on the same
spiritual roots as false religions.
This is incompatible with
Christianity, and brings spiritual
death and decay.
• Why is Eastern Star not
compatible with Christianity?
The belief that The Eastern Star is
a ‘fine christian organisation
within Masonry’ is simply not true.
Singing Christian hymns, naming
Jesus and learning that good works
are a ticket to heaven is not true
Christianity, it is a religion. True
Christianity is a personal
relationship with Jesus Christ.
The main aim of chapters is to make
more members. The main aim of
Christianity is to see people set
free to be disciples of Jesus
Christ.
Freemasons take oaths that are in
denial of Jesus Christ and his
finished work on the cross. As the
Father of Freemasonry is Lucifer,
anything done in the name of
Freemasonry gives glory and worship
to Lucifer.
To agree and continue with the
doctrines of freemasonry, one can
not hold genuine spirit led
Christian faith, for they are
opposing spiritual forces.
We believe that the vast majority of
people involved in the Eastern star
are ignorant of Masonry’s occult
nature. We hope that revelation will
enable your prayers of faith to be
used to set captives free.
