THE HIDDEN POWER BEHIND FREEMASONRY
MASONRY'S RELATION TO MARRIAGE
CHAPTER XXV
Lt. Col. Gordon "Jack" Mohr
The Bible teaches that marriage is a union between man and woman for life,
when it is sanctified in the eyes of God. The very essence of Christian
marriage is in the consent of both parties, who join together before God and
publicly acknowledge their troth (faithfulness; loyalty) to each other. This
act, according to the Bible, makes them "one flesh." (See Gen. 2:23; Matt.
19:5,6; Mark 10:8; 1 Cor. 6:16; Eph. 5:31). This covenant between man and
wife can only be broken by the unfaithfulness of one or the other, or by
death. The marriage bond may only be broken through the "adultery" of one
party or the other, never for incompatibility.'' No man has the authority to
break this marriage bond; no judge, no preacher.
The marriage ceremony is a covenant, which imposes on both parties, certain
mutual duties and invests both with certain inalienable, God-given rights.
These rights must be jealously guarded by both parties. By becoming "one
flesh," they have become something special in the eyes of God. The mutual duty
of husband and wife is to remain pure and chaste, honoring and loving each
other. Neither may lawfully (God's law) join in covenants with others, which
will infringe on these conjugal rights.
This Christian Covenant comes into immediate conflict with the Masonic and
Judaic Covenants, since both of these protect the man's right to commit
adultery. If either of these covenants are accepted in lieu of Christianity,
it will doom Christian marriage and the Christian family. Of course, this is
the purpose of both Masonry and Judaism.
The wife in a Christian marriage covenant has the inalienable right to know
the nature of any contract her husband may enter into with others, especially if this contract might weaken or
annul his duty to remain chaste and pure. There is a Divine law involved here,
which neither the man nor woman may evade with impunity. Their agreement is a
matter of written record and neither has the moral nor spiritual right to
overstep the bounds of this contract.
The husband is bound to respect the law of God and follow it, just as he
should expect his wife to do. There can be no such thing as a
"double-standard" for either of them, as has been so common in both Masonry
and Judaism.
In the Masonic contract, the wife is not consulted on the matter of the
man's morals, neither by the Lodge, or by her husband. Even if she agrees with
him becoming a Mason, she knows nothing about the nature of the covenant he
has made with the Lodge and how it may effect her marriage. To all intents and
purposes, she has become a "chattel." The Masonic Covenant supersedes any
other covenant the Mason may make with God or his fellowmen. He must
subordinate everything, even his family, to his Masonic belief.
