He aha ka pilikia o ke kuahu pagan magult o Freemasonry?
Mai kahi mea kākau i hana i nā makahiki noiʻi e pili ana iā Freemasonry - "Ka mea, ke ike nei na kanaka maikai, me ka ike ole ia lakou, ua ae lakou ia lakou iho i na akua hoomana i ke kukuliou i ko lakou mau kuli i ke kuahu o Freemasonry." (Kapala 13) Ua hele ʻo Mr. Campbell i ka haʻi "Inā pololei kaʻu mau ʻōlelo ʻike, ʻike palaka ʻo Freemasonry, a me nā ʻōlelo hōʻino hopena i pili i ke komo ʻana ma Freemasonry he mea ʻole inā he make no ko Masona a me ko lāua mau ʻohana." (Campbell 13)
Ua kākau ʻo Campbell ʻo Freemasonry paha "He hui laulā, paʻakikī, me nā ʻano he nui o ke kumu o kona mau aʻa, nā hōʻailona, a me nā hoʻomana." (Campbell 18) Kuhi ʻia ʻo ia ka ʻike ʻikepili a ka lehulehu me kāu e ʻike ai ma Freemasonry ka mea i ʻike ʻia i ʻike 'exoteric'. ʻO kahi mea hoʻohālike, ʻo ia ka mea e hōʻike ai ʻoe inā ʻoe e hele i kahi keʻaila Masonic. Ma Freemasonry, pū kekahi me Moramona a me nā ʻekele hoʻomana ʻē aʻe kahi ʻokoʻa, ʻike ʻia ka ʻike e hoʻokaʻawale ʻia wale nei. ʻO kēia ʻikepili he 'esoteric' a i ʻole 'huna' ʻike. Kapa ʻia kēia i ka ʻike ʻekekele ', no ka mea ua' huna ʻia 'a' huna 'ʻia a hōʻike wale ʻia i ke lālā i hoʻokumu ʻia. Pono ʻoe e lilo i lālā kūpaʻa o ka hoʻolālā ma mua e aʻo ʻia ai ʻoe i kēia mau mea. (Campbell 18) Ua haʻi aku ʻo Mason iā Mr. Campbell e lilo i ka lula i nā Mason, akā he kaiāulu me nā mea huna. (Campbell 24)
Hoʻopili nā kāne he nui no Freemasonry no ka mea e like me ka maikaʻi no ko lākou wā e hiki mai ana a i kā lākou mālama. Hiki paha iā lākou ke lilo i hoa hou aku a manaʻo hoʻi ke komo ʻia ʻo Masonry iā lākou a me ko lākou ʻohana. Hiki iā lākou ke hoʻonohonoho pūnaewele a hana i nā mea ʻoihanaʻoi aku. (Campbell 31-32)
Hōʻike ʻo Campbell ma ka ʻaoʻao, ua hōʻike ʻo Freemasonry i mea e lokomaikaʻi ʻia, 'akā ua nīnau ʻo ia "he aha ke Mystic Tie e hui pū ai i nā kāne o nā lāhui a pau a hāʻawi i hoʻokahi kuahu i nā hoʻomana o nā hoʻomana haipule? (Campbell 35) ʻO kekahi mea hoʻomana Worshipful Master Mason, ʻo Edmond Ronayne, i kākau ai - "Ma nā mana āpau kaulana a Freemasonry a me kāna mau hana maʻamau o ka mana kiʻekiʻe a me ka pono, ʻehā mau huaʻōlelo i hōʻoia ʻia i hoʻokumu ʻia ma ke kumuhana o kēlā keʻena, e like me kēia: ʻO ka mua, he ʻālunu haipule. ʻōnaehana o ka ʻepekema hoʻomana. ʻO ka lua, ua hoihoi hou ia i kāna 'puka o waho i kēia manawa i ka makahiki 1717. ʻO ke kolu, ʻo nā ʻemonlela a pau, nā hōʻailona, a me ka mōʻī kaulana o Hiram i ke kumu M Master Mason, ua hoʻopiʻi pilikino ʻia mai ka' Mysteries Old kahiko, 'a i ʻole ka hoʻomana huna o Baʻala, Osiris, a i ʻole Tammuz. A ʻo ka hope loa, ʻo ke hoʻolohe pono i kāna mau kauoha a me nā kuleana he mea e pono ai e hoʻokuʻu i ke kanaka mai ka hewa a hoʻopaʻa iā ia i ka make mau ʻole. " (Campbell 37)
Ua ʻōlelo aku ʻo Paulo i nā poʻe Korinto. “Mai hoopaʻa pinepine ʻia me ka poʻe hoʻomaloka. No ka mea hea ka hui me ka hewa? A he aha ka launa ʻana me ka pouli? Heaha hoi ka manao hookahi o Kristo me Belial? He aha hoʻi kahi hapa o ka mea manaʻoʻiʻo me ka mea hoʻomaloka? Pehea hoi ka ku like o ka luakini o ke Akua me na kii? No ka mea, o oukou ka luakini o ke Akua ola. E like me ka mea a ke Akua i olelo mai ai, 'E noho wau i waena o lākou a hele hoʻi i waena o lākou. ʻO wau auaneʻi ko lākou Akua, a ʻo lākou hoʻi koʻu poʻe kānaka. ' (2 Kolinito 6: 14-16)
