Dear Cutting Edge respondent,

As much as we would like to answer each and every issue raised by our 
Freemasonry articles, it has become a practical impossibility. We are currently 
receiving just under one million "hits" a month on our site and the subsequent 
email is tremendous. For this reason, we must reluctantly offer the following 
blanket statement and ask two or three questions:
 
"Proving" something to someone who is not willing to be objective is well nigh 
impossible, whether it be issues regarding Freemasonry or the Christian faith. 
And surely you can understand the enormous amount of time and effort it takes to 
answer just one irate person's demands for a point-by-point response. Therefore 
we must stand by the statements as presented in the various articles and will 
try to add to them. Our sole aim is to alert God's genuine saints to the subtle 
occultic influences in the world around them and not just to antagonize those 
who disagree with our position of Freemasonry. So with these thoughts in mind, 
we would like to ask the Christian some questions relative to Freemasonry:
 
(1) Why would any dedicated and knowledgeable Christian take the bloody oaths 
required by the various degrees? Ask yourself if Freemasonry is merely a 
benevolent and fraternal organization, then why the secrecy and need for such 
oaths? What secrets are you trying to protect?
 
(2) Biblical Christianity demands the undivided loyalty and service of the saved 
individual. If you in fact claim to be among this number, why are you wasting 
your time, energy, and finances on Freemasonry (or any other fraternal 
organization) when Jesus Christ should be receiving them?
 
If none of the above speaks to your heart, any arguments or proofs we might 
offer would likely be in vain anyway.
 
In Christ's precious Name,
 
Ron Riffe, Cutting Edge Ministries.
