I think 'Lucifer' is a concept unintentionally created by the monk Jerome when trying to translate scripture.
In the Book of Isaiah the Lucifer verse appears to refer to a fallen angel, but when taken in context it refers to the fallen king of Babylon.
"Light Bringer" ironically and "bright and shining star of the morning" also refer to Christ later on in the Bible.
Of course there is the possibility that it means what appears to mean as well. The Urantia Book has an extensive explanation of the Luciferian Rebellion and the Fall.
For a time. If it is the same truth I found, I too held that belief, that it should be hidden. But at what cost, and length of time. Who does "hiding the truth" protect and who does it harm? I'm not so certain anymore.
If you hide the truth, at least you can keep it safe.

There is a great deal of evidence that Jerome either mistranslated it on purpose or by mistake. The passage refers to a bright king. Lucifer was a Greek word used for Hebrew text.

Freemasonry is not a Christian organization although many of us are professing Christians, and the God we worship is the Christian God - Salvation can only be attained by a belief in the divine revelation which exists in the form of a Sacred Volume for every religion and of course for we Christians this is the Holy Bible. What then does Masonry and Christianity have in common? Masonry is not a religion but it is religious - it is not a church but is a worship in which men of all religions may unite - It is the friend of all, having emphasis upon those truths which underlie all religions. Masonry seeks to instill in its members a standard conduct and behaviour which will be acceptable to all creeds and hopefully that its teaching will be complimentary to that of any religion. The basic tenants of Masonry, brotherly love, relief and truth are complimentary to any man's Christian beliefs and must become a part of a Christian's search for more light in his continual search for truth - that true Spiritual Light who for a Christian is our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

do you mean the House of Temple of the Scottish Rite, southern Jurisdiction? The very same one that Brother Pike was a member of? Yea, he has a lot of things relating to him there. How about you look into where he fits in the the Northern Jurisdiction, or where he fits into English freemasonry. But you won't do that.

Just for the record, "Lucifer" is Latin, not Greek. The Greek is "Heosphorus".

Don't you mean "Santa Clause"? Or how about "The Master".

I've come to think it will find its way out exactly when its supposed to.
Until then, keep it safe.

Masons, stay the course! Stay the course.. You will find your reward in the next life. Did you know that when you deal with reptilians, you know, alligators and snakes, you must use unconditional love and acceptance, even when they are eating you alive. Stay the course!

Proto,
I think you'll find I'm the least politically correct person on these boards. I don't pretend to be tolerant or full of light. I am quite the opposite of those things. I only claim to be well-mannered until angered, well-educated, and as humble as possible at all times. My only trouble is that when people keep saying they follow religions of love and light etc., yet seem to find an enemy lurking around every corner, the hypocrisy is comical. Jewish, Muslim, Christian, New Age, all do the same thing. And you can take my word on it, since, as a theistic Satanist, I've been on the receiving end of vitriol from all of them
First, you were convinced Masons were evil people bent on world destruction, then you changed your mind, and now it seems you are afraid that Muslims are trying to destroy Christianity. Don't jump from one fear bandwagon to another. If you look hard enough and deep enough, you'll find the one group bent on world control. And it won't be the Masons. Just follow the money. Always the money.
When I was writing my thesis, I took a trip out to the Levant. I met a very interesting gentleman, a Mason btw, who had an amazing library. There were four books in there that he said would interest me, and he laid them out on the table, said he would turn his back and leave, and would give me half an hour to read them. Two of them were Gnostic, two of them were Islamic. None were of the bible or the Koran. All of them blew my mind. I realized exactly how much had been hidden and changed completely. After half an hour, he came back, we went to dinner and never said another word about it.

New Age, all do the same thing. And you can take my word on it, since, as a theistic Satanist, I've been on the receiving end of vitriol from all of them

Theistic Satanism, sometimes referred to as Traditional Satanism, or Spiritual Satanism, is a form of Satanism with the primary belief that Satan is an actual deity or force to revere or worship.[1][2] Other characteristics of Theistic Satanism may include a belief in magic, which is manipulated through ritual.[3] Unlike LaVeyan Satanism founded by Anton LaVey in the 1960s, Theistic Satanism is theistic[3] as opposed to atheistic, believing that Satan (Hebrew: הַשָׂטָן ha-Satan, ‘the accuser’) is a real being[3] rather than a symbol of individualism.

It's not for me to say, as I was shown them on condition of silence.
I am a Satanist, but I am not a Mason.
It is a secret that belongs to all of mankind. I believe Cody, and even admire him now. He is not a Mason, but you need not be a mason to know this truth. You merely must have an open heart, that of a child.
What secret might that be that you are keeping? Are you sure you know the truth?
