  • Richard Dailey on Psalms 91:7 - 3 years ago
    Psalms 91 was George Washington's prayer during the Revolutionary War according to the true side of history. The raging battle for liberty was often grim for Gen. Washington driving him to his knees in prayer. God answered as Angel's were dispatched to surround Gen. Washington in battle. History tell us Brittish sharpshooter had him in his sights many times but could not hit him. You know the rest of the story, he led his men to final victory gaining freedom from Great Britain. George Washington was a farmer at heart, that is all he ever wanted to do, but almight God had plans for George Washington to father this Republic and set it on course then he took Washington early in life just after his second term of President of the United States of America. God bless America, long live the Republic, Glory to God.

    The Lord does not hear the wicked. The wicked speak with words smooth as butter but in their heart is WAR. There is no Repentance for Esau/Edomites.

    George Washington was a Master Mason. Genuine question; Do you believe one can be a devout Christian and a Mason..Master Mason?

    Your comment is oddly verbatim of a somewhat recent Donnie Swaggert tv sermon..

    I don't know what it means to be a Master Free Mason. Being one requires an invitation, and is a secret organization. Scripture and salvation on the other hand is free and open too all men . Something drove our fore fathers to become separate from England. Freedom of religion was one of them! Carnal Power and the need for it corrupts. These gentlemen were responsible for their actions, at least what we know of. Wisdom and knowledge on the other hand, come from above, these having and producing, what we see today, a free nation. Freedom is not really free! It requires responsibility, by continuing in this equal wisdom and knowledge. The bible refers to works and their necessity for the physical relationship of man, but should never become dependent on mans salvation. So, is belonging to a lodge wrong? I think not as long as we put Christ first in all things .

    Fred thank you for your response. I do agree with the majority of it.

    To become a Mason you must take oaths. We know what the Bible says about taking oaths.

    You must perform "sacred rituals."

    You must agree that their is a higher power but you do not claim one in specific.

    We also know of forbidden knowledge that comes from a different source who was outkast from Heaven.

    The list is lengthy. Very.

    Many Christians who became Masons left for very specific reasons. I have also seen Christian Masons who never separated.

    Anyone who has studied history knows this country was founded on Christian principles as well as Masonic. It's very obvious.

    In "Will's" statement he claims being a Master Mason means nothing. I disagree however I am in no way trying to prove a point within this thread. Genuinely seeking the opinion of others especially biblically based. I also understand a Mason will provide a much different response than a devout Christian who would avoid such an organization.

    Can one be devout to God the Father of the Bible while being devout to Masonry through a blood oath? Would we not see idols here? Are there no conflicts from the strict word of God provided in the Bible? Masonry allows worship of the God of the higher power of your preference. This could be Satan, Buddha etc.

    Again, I hope noone takes this in the wrong manner. Thank you each for your responses.

    George Washington was an Edomite.

    George served the purpose he was created for. George enslaved hundreds of Israelites. being a Master Mason means nothing. The bible says Israel will be scattered because Israel disobeyed and now Israel must serve their enemies until this word is preached to all Israelites amongst the nations.

    Thank you Richard for sharing that, it is one of my favourite Psalms and I find it very uplifting.

    I can understand why George Washington used this as his prayer.

    I live in Queensland Australia but God Bless you and God Bless both America and Australia.

    Andy
