While the Authorized Version remains among the most widely sold, modern critical New Testament translations differ substantially from the Authorized Version in a number of passages, primarily because they rely on source manuscripts not then accessible to (or not then highly regarded by) early 17th Century Biblical Scholarship.[102] In the Old Testament, there are also many differences from modern translations that are based not on manuscript differences, but on a different understanding of Ancient Hebrew vocabulary or grammar by the translators. For example, in modern translations it is clear that Job 28: 1-11 is referring throughout to mining operations, which is not at all apparent from the text of the Authorized Version.

Well the catholic church for one would give you a good argument.
Also, what constitutes evil. . ? To me a cult masquerading as a religion is something to be weary of especially when it claims to worship the same god as the christian faith. But to get back to the whole Illuminati thing.
The Illuminati are the illuminated ones while the freemasons are always searching for light!
You could argue that as the masons climb through the degrees gaining more light once they reach the top they would indeed be illuminated and become part of the illuminated ones, the Illuminati. . .

Then would you care to explain why such symbolism was used extensivley in the twin towers and numerology and ritualism surrounds the whole event (amongst the many other instances). Along with its connection to a small group of bloodlines that have controlled the planet for hundreds of years?
It looks like we have a group that secretly practises the occult and manipulates humanity at large in nefarious ways and they have been here for a very long time, you might very well call them the Illuminati. Do you disagree with this?

Have you ever heard the old saying, There's no smoke without fire? You spend ages telling us that you believe in god and then say that you couldn't give a crap what gods greatest followers, the catholic church, think of you!
Or prerhaps we're talking about different gods?
As for the Illuminati. . . they are certainly real members of which are evident in government, the banks, royalty, the Bilderberg group and, I fear, the freemasons. And before you start crying prove it I can't and neither can you.
All we can say is that these people in power wouldn't have got there if they hadn't belonged to a lodge.
You see, you don't know what goes on above you because you were never meant too. . .
Your job is to keep pulling the punters through the door, take their hard earned cash and fill their head full of nonsense.

I'm sorry but you seem to have the wrong forum for that kind of question. Try the 9/11 board for answers that are more likely closer to your taste
eta: Unless you believe that there was a Mason involved somewhere in its construction which (statistically speaking) there likely was. However, your whole post is kind of scattershot so it's hard to know just what you have in mind

As far as they're concerned their god, Satan, is the top dog. It doesn't matter if they are right or wrong, in their twisted little heads Satan rules the roost. To them he is god, period.
Therefore, if your masonic leader, the witchy master or whatever you call him, asked him if he believes in god he would reply yes, he wouldn't be lieing and as clever as you masons think you are you wouldn't be able to tell.
The same goes for those who want to climb the corporate ladder or gain promotion in some fields and careers. You cannot do it unless you belong to a lodge...

Its the same old story. masons are right, everyone else is wrong and when they get asked a difficult question or asked something difficult they have a little tantrum and start giving you an answer to something nobody asked them!

It's late so let me finish for tonight with this. My argument has always been that masons do not know what is going on above them and that the ordinary "brother" is there to sweep the floor, look after the building and make sure that the members are catered for. The response from the "brothers " was instant and in some cases, they even stayed on topic!!!
So if I'm wrong lets have a look what their beloved racist and masonic icon, Albert Pike has to say about it. . .This is what he had to say about the ordinary masons, the blue degrees.
So, next time one of the higher ranking masons comes along slaps you on the back and calls you brother he's possibly congratulating you for being a brain washed patsy.
Yes you read it right. As part of the rite masons have to swear to commit murder and kill a fellow mason if he breaks the rules! Now I ask you, who in their right mind would want to be part of this disgusting, dispicable cult?

So are you saying in not so modern times that a Mason would kill another Mason, did that happen back in the day???
