The Freemasons, Freemasonry--a Satanic Sect? Options

Good day,

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but since it is under "religion" I thought it'd be alright. I became quite stunned when a certain person told me that the Freemasons were a Satanic sect. Can we disprove or approve of that? Please send your helpful insights as they are always greatly appreciated.

Yours Truly,

Mr. Curi

Of course it's Satanic. It encourages us to buy books delving into the question at hand, thereby laying up treasures on this Earth, thereby stunting spiritual growth.

This sounds a little provocative and stating your reasons for this belief might help here.

My own personal belief is that we continue to grow spiritually whatever path we are on, it is inevitable because it is intimately bound up in our life experiences.

Apologies, I am unable to offer anything on the Freemasons, but the thread is interesting and I had no idea that there was a gap because of the 60s.

Satanism is a Christian fear, "laying up treasures" is a Christian proverb, therefore laying up treasures breaks a proverb that is found in God's law, Satan wishes us to break God's words as it creates space between us and Him, therefore anything that causes us to lay up treasures is Satanic.

Does the laying of treasures include spiritual treasures? I remember reading something or other in the bible about not hoarding material treasures here on earth but rather to gather heavenly treasures. Based on what I have read thus far, Freemasonry is concerned with spiritual development...and not Swiss bank accounts. On another note...the riches nations in the world happened to be dominantly christian. Europe, North America...see what I mean. Now, if your logic holds true, than the gathering of heavenly treasures (spiritual enlightenment) creates a barrier and so...we are all condemned to an eternal damnation.
