We are not supposed to take oaths but as Christians we will also give an account for every idle word ''oath or not'' we've ever spoke .. Signing any contract is as much of taking an oath as anything in my opinion .. I took an oath in court once ''as a witness to a break-in'' to swear to tell the truth , I don't need to take an oath to do that .. If the judge had told me ''as a Christian you must take an oath'' as a test , I would have told him ''no, I do not need to swear to tell the truth'' .. Do you see what I'm talking about ? ... There was one Baptist church I did not join because they required an oath to become a member, ''they knew better'' than to require it ..
I agree with and Dr Martin makes good points to those who think being a Mason can earn you heaven with a/our/your/any god .. As far as I know the ''G'' in masonry stands for geometry and it's based a lot on King Solomon's temple .. I wasn't in as an active member long enough to really study it or care , and before you actually get in you don't know anything about it .. It's secret !!! .... And they don't ask you, you have to ask to join .. I had some good mason friends who were ''good ole boys'' and good guys who helped support children's hospitals and such .. And it seemed masons enjoyed favors from other masons such as at work and such .. Can God answer prayers through the unsaved ? .. I was not a Christian when I joined and was still raising a little hell , there were some other ''good ole boy'' non Christians in our lodge too .. It was just another club to me .. In my 40+ yrs I've been a Christian I've backslid and raised a little hell a time or two except Jesus jerked a knot in my rear-end and brought me back ..
No good works, no church, Mason's or organization, will ever save anyone .. Only by being obedient and under the Blood of the Lamb of God (Born Again Through Repentance, Faith in Jesus life, Death and Resurrection ) and His righteousness will ever only save anyone to eternal life and from eternal hell fire ..
