Knights Templar And Baphomet

[spathiphyllum]

Why if the Knights Templar are a Catholic military order were they (falsely) accused of worshipping Baphomet?

[nailit]

//All perceived ideas stem from one elemant to make them similar and hint on the same things across the board.. that element is truth//
Spath, look up/research astro theology if ur that interested m8. Worth looking into if you are a genuine inquirer (as opposed to a closed minded theist whose mind is already made up)

[Theland]

Jesus Christ is Truth.
Try investigating Him.
Seriously.
You put the effort in, the Reward will come.

[Theland]

There is no,such thing as a, "closed mind theist."

How could there be?
Theists believe in Gid who is capable of limitless possibilities. Nothing closed about that.

Sad that some scrabble around the undergrowth of belief and spiritual matters, constantly belittling the whole subject, searching g but n ever finding, and ridiculing those who have finished the journey to truth

[Theland]

I would assert, that you might have finished with God, but God will never be finished with you.

More directing at the templars here nailit...

Appreciate that Spath but you seem to be lumping opposing belief systems all up in the same pot. Wicca has nothing to do with Satanism, Freemasons are not Devil worshippers.

The Bible says otherwise...chapter and verse available upon request :-)

[spathiphyllum]

Nailit, do you know of the beleif system that Freemasons require?

[jackthehat]

There is no belief requirement in anything other than 'a higher power'.......never described; and no talk of religion is allowed 'in Lodge', nor that of Politics.

[vulcan42]

Theland, your mind is closed. You believe in one God only, you cannot have a more closed mind then that.

[nailit]

A belief in a supreme being (not a belief in Satan)

[spathiphyllum]

A belief, and a strong one, is required. That can be in any higher diety for members.. However, the structure, itself, is quite christian. It's association with the Templar for example.. Especially regarding Solomon who is part of the Hebrew Bible, Quran and Hadith

[nailit]

So now you are saying that they are quite Christian?
Earlier on you said
//The freemasons have been notorious for their odd initiation ceremony's, their clothing, their cult like behaviour.. This reflects the initiation for satanism / wicca / occultism / witchcraft what not//

Lost me a bit here Spath?

[spathiphyllum]

And you said saitan was a christian concept

[nailit]

Yes, Satan is a Christian concept but Christians don't worship him and neither do Freemasons, wiccans or (ironically) LaVeyan Satanists.
