Now if you are a friend of mines, you know I recently accepted Freemasonary as my profession. Now this is something that I am proud of and I will not let anyone make me feel like I shouldn't be. Since this has happened in my life, I have began to realize how much negative people will say. I've been told by others that "its not too late to save your soul" or " you sold your soul to devil" and even " being a mason means you must worship Satan." At first it was getting to me, because being a man of god I never wanted people to perceive me this way. But then I started to look at those who criticized me. Not to name call but I realized they are ignorant. When I say ignorant, im referring to the fact that they don't know what they are talking about and they don't even practice their religion correctly. I truly believe in the statement "Americans fear what they don't understand." Being the christian man that I am, I went directly to my Bible (King James is the version I prefer). I have versus that help guide my life. The one that I flipped open to on this day was Luke 6: 37. this verse states "Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not and you will not be condemned; forgive and you will be forgiven." Now this verse touched home because, it opened my eyes to realize who am I or who are you to judge a person. We are nothing but sinners ourselves, and my bible says there is only one judge when its all said and done. I also came across another verse that I felt applied and of course I marked it to comeback to for cases like this. The verse is Matthew 7:1-2, it states "Judge not, that you be not judged. For the judgement you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you." Again this verse just refers to the fact that as sinners it is not our place to judge our fellow brother.
Well I know that was a random rant, but I just want everyone to know that to place judgement on each other is not healthy for yourself. The more you judge others the more you condemned yours soul. So you can be a declared card carry christian, but you are still the same sinning empty vessel that I am. In the end we are all waiting to be judge by the all seeing lord and savior.
*** As always we will end this with a joke***
Judgement
(3)
A man died and went to The Judgment. St. Peter met him at the Gates of Heaven and said, "Before you meet with God, I thought I should tell you -- we've looked at your life, and your really didn't do anything particularly good or bad. We're not at all sure what to do with you. Can you tell us anything you did that can help us make a decision?"
The newly arrived soul thought for a moment and replied, "Yeah, once I was driving along and came upon a woman who was being harassed by a group of bikers. So I pulled over, got out my tire iron, and went up to the leader of the bikers. He was a big, muscular, hairy guy with tattoos all over his body and a ring pierced through his nose. Well, I tore the nose ring out of his nose, and told him he and his gang had better stop bothering the woman or they would have to deal with me!"
"I'm impressed," St. Peter responded, "When did this happen?"
"About two minutes ago," came the reply.
