God’s Secret Wisdom vs. Satan’s Secret Societies
The English words "secret" and "mystery" refer to knowledge that is "hidden", and that needs to be discovered. When dealing with the spiritual world, as opposed to simply the physical world, the method of discovering these "mysteries" or "hidden knowledge" is often referred to as "illuminating". It is like entering a dark room where one's physical eyes cannot see what is in that room due to the darkness, so a light must be turned on in order to see everything clearly. The English word most often used to describe the process of finding or discovering these mysteries or secrets, is "wisdom." The Bible clearly teaches that there are two categories of "wisdom" in the world: The wisdom of the world and the ruler of this world, and the wisdom of God, as revealed in Jesus Christ. Paul wrote: "My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power. We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. No, we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began." The secret societies such as Freemasonry have their own definitions of light, knowledge, and spiritual truth: "When you enter the lodge, Freemasons believe you seek light as you are in the darkness and blindfolded due to numerous reasons. In the Lodge, the term ‘Light’ has a different meaning. It is all about spiritual truth and knowledge. However, the ‘Spiritual Truth’ is something that particularly clashes with the teachings of Christianity. If you are a Christian, and if you are in the lodge, you cannot talk of Christ or consider him as God. Freemasons believe G.A.O.T.U (Great Architect of The Universe) is the true God of the universe. Freemasonry values freedom of thought, and for this reason, there is no particular religion a man must follow to become a Freemason." Fortunately, the "mysteries of the Kingdom of God" have now been revealed for everyone to know, and that "mystery" is that anyone, regardless of race, religion, nationality or any other classification of humans, can enter into the Kingdom of God and find true "liberty" in Jesus Christ. Any other claim to offer "liberty" is a different kind of "liberty" that leads to slavery to Satan and his kingdom.
