Freemasons are members of an international fraternal and charitable organization known for secret rites and signs. They use builders' tools as symbols to teach basic moral truths and promote the brotherhood of man. According to their history, Freemasonry began during the construction of King Solomon's Temple, with stonemasons organized into grades and classes. However, Freemasonry is widely considered to have been formally established in 1717 with the first Masonic lodge in London.

At first christianity arrived to britain
Christianity first arrived in Britain in the early 4th century and was accepted by Roman emperors, spreading among Celtic areas and controlling large regions. When England was Christianized, the first archbishop was sent to establish Christian authority, teaching the faith to ordinary villagers. The religion was useful to the government and church for conveniently controlling the people's minds, with bishops creating a center of power at kings' courts. While one church focused on people's hearts, the other emphasized authority, and Christianity increased its influence rapidly except in a few remaining areas as it helped kings consolidate power by claiming God's approval for conquests.

The document discusses how some historians believe globalization can be traced back to 320 BCE with the establishment of the Maurya Empire in India, which developed international trade with Asia and Europe. In the 2nd century BCE, China established the Silk Road, a major trade route connecting China, Egypt, Persia, India, and Rome. By the 10th century CE, most imperial societies were engaged in international trade and the cultural exchange of religion, philosophy, crops, livestock and other biological organisms alongside economic links.
The medieval church
By the 4th century, Christianity had become dominant in the Roman Empire and the Church played an increasing role in the new European civilization. Local parishes were led by priests and bishops, and people demonstrated their faith by building magnificent Gothic cathedrals between the 11th-12th centuries, featuring pointed arches, stained glass windows, and sculptures. The Pope grew in power and established the Roman Catholic Church and its laws, wielding authority over kings. Monks lived dedicated religious lives in monasteries and played an important social role through missionary work, education, medicine, and agriculture.

Freemasonry 182 introduction to freemasonry - ea
This document provides an introduction to Freemasonry for those newly initiated. It begins with a brief history of Freemasonry's origins in the collegia of Roman times, when guilds of architects and builders were allowed to organize freely. After Rome's fall, some builders found refuge on the island of Comacina and kept architectural traditions alive. In the Middle Ages, there were both local guild masons and traveling "free masons" who were absolved from certain restrictions due to their skills. The introduction aims to give new Freemasons some initial context around Freemasonry's symbols and morals.
261 the ceremonies
Masonic ceremonies are a means to impart the principles of Freemasonry to new members through drama and symbolism. The ceremonies have changed and developed over time from simple questions and answers in the 17th century to more elaborate rituals today. A key development was in 1813-1816 when a Lodge of Reconciliation standardized the rituals across English lodges, expanding the ceremonies while removing Christian references to make Masonry appealing to men of all faiths. The basic structure and purpose of the ceremonies remains the same, using drama and symbols to introduce new members, though interpretations by individual writers are not sanctioned by the governing Grand Lodge.

This document provides a summary of theories about the origin of Freemasonry. It discusses groups such as the Druids, Culdees, Rosicrucians, Essenes, ancient mystery schools, and various guilds of stonemasons.

Freemasonry has its roots in the morality and philosophy inspired by the Bible as a whole. In medieval times, craftsmen banded together to protect their trades and ensure high standards of work. Their instruction went beyond craft skills to include moral teachings supported by biblical passages.
Stories from the Bible were commonly used to teach lessons in an engaging way, accessible to all but with deeper meanings for those prepared to understand. Allegories and symbols were used to convey Freemasonry's system of morality while maintaining selectivity. This

Experiencing the Psalms
This document provides an overview of psalms and Hebrew poetry. It discusses that psalms were originally songs of praise and poetry in the Bible. Psalms express a wide range of human emotions and are prayers and praise to God. Hebrew poetry differs from Western poetry in that it does not rely on rhyme but uses thought parallelism between lines and imagery. There are various categories of psalms including hymns, laments, thanksgiving psalms, and more. Many psalms are attributed to authors like David, Asaph, the Sons of Korah, and others. The document also examines features of Hebrew poetry like parallelism, imagery, acrostics, and more. It provides examples and homework assignments analyzing specific psalms.

Christian Science
Christian Science was founded in 1879 in Massachusetts by Mary Baker Eddy, who had up to 400,000 followers worldwide. She was influenced by Phineas Quimby's teachings on spiritual healing and added her own interpretations of Jesus using prayer and the mind to heal people. Eddy established the Church of Christ, Scientist and its headquarters, the Mother Church, in Boston. She authored the Christian Science textbook Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures and founded a publishing company and newspaper.
Jehovah Witnesses Their Beliefs
The main beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses are:
1) They have a strict hierarchy with sole authority given to the Governing Body who are responsible for interpreting the Bible.
2) They use their own translation of the Bible called the New World Translation and believe only their organization can properly interpret scripture.
3) They believe in one God named Jehovah but do not believe Jesus is God and reject the Trinity, seeing Jesus as a created being.
4) They do not believe in hell and think death is a state of unconsciousness until resurrection for judgment at the end of times.
Rastafarianism
Rastafarianism originated from Marcus Garvey's "Back to Africa" movement in the 1920s. Garvey proclaimed that an African king would be the redeemer for black people, who were being oppressed by Western religions. In 1930, Ras Tafari Makonnen was crowned emperor of Ethiopia, taking the name Haile Selassie I. Rastafarians saw Haile Selassie as a manifestation of God and the Messiah, and the followers began calling themselves Rastafari. Rastafarianism believes Ethiopia is the true homeland for black people and that Haile Selassie was God in human form, challenging the notion that Jesus was white.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
