           Many people including some Christians view Freemasonry as nothing more than a good social organization. Some people even believe that Freemasonry is a Christian organization because they have the Bible in the Lodge and belief in God is a requirement.
To the men at the lower levels of Masonry it may seem to them to be just that. It is well known that many good people are Masons. The Masons are also known for many good deeds. The question is," what do those in positions of authority in Masonry have to say about it?" And is it compatible with Christianity? 
           According to the book "The Secret Teachings of the Masonic Lodge" by John Ankerberg & John Weldon on page 16-17 we learn the following. They sent a letter to each of the fifty Grand Lodges in America addressing the Grand Master at each one. They asked the following question, "As an official Masonic Leader, which books and authors do you recommend as being authoritative on the subject of Freemasonry?"
           "Twenty-five of the Grand Lodges in the United States responded. A response of fifty percent is sufficiently high to suggest that the responses of the other states would not have varied significantly. In other words, we may assume that these responses are normative for U.S. Masonry as a whole. Remember, for each state, no higher jurisdictional authority than its Grand Lodge exist." Although other books are mentioned, for this newsletter I have limited myself only to the books that I own myself.
           Out of the 50% of the Grand Lodges that responded 32% named Albert G. Mackey's Revised Encyclopedia of Freemasonry  as an authoritative work on Masonry. Also out of the 50% of the Grand Lodges that responded 16% named Morals and Dogma by Albert Pike as an authoritative work on Masonry. Concerning the16% of the 50% of the Grand Lodges that responded naming Albert Pikes "Morals and Dogma" this should not be taken lightly. The book "Secret Teachings of the Masonic Lodge" by John Ankerberg & John Weldon states the following "Albert Pike should also be listed among leading Masonic authorities.
