Mormonism Live: Mormonism and Masonry

Post by Dr Moore »

Out last week, RFM and Bill Reel interview Cheryl Bruno, co-author of Method Infinite: Freemasonry and the Mormon Restoration.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKBtX2KXok4

Others may have already come across much of this information, but my mind was blown at several points.

For instance, did you know that the phrase, "The Book of Mormon is ... the keystone of our religion..." conveyed a deeply Masonic meaning?

Wow!

The interview is full of surprising tidbits like that. I'm excited to get the book for further study.

Thanks, Dr. Moore! I can’t wait to read the book too. I ordered it from Amazon, but it never shipped!

ETA: I just canceled the order. I’ll buy it from the publisher instead.

It was terrific! Dan Vogel and I are scheduling him on my show not this Sunday, but starting next Sunday - more to come on Masonry and Endowment of the temple. we will also be covering Masonry and the Book of Abraham

I think Masonry and the Book of Abraham are sufficient evidence that Joseph lied about receiving revelation. Unless Joe's definition of revelation was "making sh1t up."


If he had received revelation, the would have been able to actually translate Egyptian. Or actually restore an authentic ancient Jewish ritual. Something miraculous that couldn't have been accomplished without revelation.


Instead we just get a blatant near verbatim plagiarism of the modern masonic rites, and a mistranslation of the papyrus that is complete nonsense. The exact opposite of miraculous.

There seems to be little truth to the rumor that Joseph’s translation was MAHABONER.

That’s not what Fanny Alger said.
