Jesus being Lucifer is in the Bible. Jesus in his own words explains that he is Lucifer.

The message does not have to come from Hip-Hop, the message is in the Bible.

Well since white people created the devil they of course would make him black. But white is the color of death, absence annihilation, empty. It's not even a color but the total absence of color, everything a good devil could hope for and dream about.

Fake Masons? What's THAT all about? People don't really just 'pretend' to be Masons, do they?
http://www.masonicinfo.com/fakemasonry.htm
Well, yes - in some cases they do! Even at the formation of the very first Grand Lodge there were rival groups, imitators, dissenters, and merely idle 'troublemakers'. Why? Heaven's knows - but it seems clear that today it's more for the element of spite than it is for the greed or the ribald humor.

And there are also those who create organizations so that the unsuspecting who want to actually become Masons will wind up giving them money instead. Long before telemarketing, degree peddling was a VERY lucrative business - and through the appearance of the internet, it continues unabated today! Particularly with the spurious groups, there's LOTS of dancing around trying to claim "We are legitimate!" while regular, 'recognized' Grand Lodges merely go about their business.

The moniker 'fake' may be harsh but what else can one call a group that solicits membership using the symbols of an organization they have no formal connection with? They make claims to being the legacy heir of some fanciful legend or their websites show the leadership in the trappings (sometimes looking like parodies of a jewelry store mannequin). They want you to believe that you'll be "a Mason" in all respects when, in fact, you're only a member of their own small group and certainly NOT accepted as a Freemason by the millions of Freemasons throughout the world.

If Jesus is Lucifer and then who is Michael the Archangel?

Revelation 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

In relation to the comments of "fake masons",

The term "fake masons" simply means that they do not have a lineage connected to the original lodge. So, if they are Black masons but they don't have lineage to the first African lodge which would make them prince hall then they are considered "fake masons". Now in relation to DarkMagic comments about the age of the square is over and the circle is in, are you implying that masonry is out or are you saying its still in under a different standard?

U CAN EMBRACE THE DARKSIDE ALL U LIKE BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY TO CHOOSE UR WEALTH AS OPPOSED TO UR RIGHT HAND WILL GET U BURNED..

LEARN TO EARN RESPECT.....

WHY SUCH ABUSE OF POWER DARKSIDE?

THE WAY JZ RAP IS THE SAME AS "ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE"...... IT AIN'T HIS STYLE ..... HE DIDN'T MAKE .... HE JUST TAKE IT......

THE WOMAN IS THE DARKSIDE, SO WHY SHOULD I FALL IN LINE WITH EGO WHEN EMOTION(DARK) IS STRONGER THAN EGO(LIGHT) AND THE EGO COME FROM EMOTIONS. I WILL END THIS WITH A STAR WARS QUOTE--

"The Sith and the Jedi are similar in almost every way, including their quest for greater power. The only difference between the two is that the Sith are not afraid of the dark side of the Force. That is why they are more powerful."
"The Sith rely on their passion for their strength. They think inwards only about themselves."

if you show them the path and they know not .... it's called being innocent... so weather you acknowledge yourself as a leader you know the rules...

some are not capable of "following" themselves.....

there are people that know...... you and I ...

people that don't..... ignorant people (meaning not knowing)

and those that know and don't care.....

the middle group ..... can go either way.....

the ones that know have a great respnsibility... (like they say in spider man)

in the same respect I hold the Pope personally responsible for the ignorant group of his people who he has led down the path to ruin..

the "new madonna" is a product of pope ceasar..... julius ceasar....

if u think she don't know exactly what she has done as one who know ...

anubis is the guardian of dead not the cause......

as far as the "gay" comment I meant more in a sense that she made him greedy..... being a strong black man who was the best defensive nba player of all time was a great accomplishment.....

Well Darkside,
I understand what you intend to mean when speaking of the square and the circle but let me see if i can shed light on a few points. The square in actuality represents the earlier degrees of Masonry however as people move up and attain higher degrees the square is left behind and the circle is their new symbol which is the purpose of the all seeing eye (circle) at the top of the pyramid. The square is what attaches the Mason to the physical/material world and the circle represent enlightenment of the spiritual world. Also, lets not forget that the square is also a circle. A square consists of 4 90degree angles so.... 90+90=180 90+90=180 180+180= 360degrees which is the degree for a circle! Hope I shedded some light on the topic!

SINCE THE INFUSION OF MORE DARK MATTER WHICH IS THE CIRCLE OR WHAT IS CALLED KALI YUGA, ONE CAN GET TO THE CIRCLE BY THEMSELVES. PLUS MY UNDERSTANDING IS THERE IS NO 360 IN A LODGE AND THE REASON IT IS 33 DEGREES IS THAT SUN/SON SIT ON THE CROSS IN THE SKY AT 33 DEGREES AFTER THE SPRING EQUINOX.

MasterDJ

very true, you don't need an organization to get to circle but at the same time using an organization to assist you in your efforts isn't wrong either. Now about the 360 degree issue...it is true that the lodge does have 360 degrees but not the lodges of Europe nor America simply because Black Masons in America and Europe are following a spin off of true Masonry. Black Masons in America look to the Grand lodges of england and france when in actuality the Nubian lodges of Africa predates Western Masonry by thousands of years. So, Nubian lodges do have 360 degrees but Western Masonry only goes to 33degrees.

The only KNOWN lodge that MAY have 360 degrees is the Reformed Ogboni Fraternity. Now understand the ROF is not the same as the Ogboni Society that operates in Yoruba villages. The latter is just a council of elders that make decision in the best interest of the Yoruba people.

Peace Lord!

It all depends on how you perceive a lodge to be. Are you looking at it from Western European lenses or on the actually essence of what it is? Throughout Africa, there exists guilds, similiar to European Freemasonry. These guilds were organized based on one's occupation. Depending on your lineage's occupation or your chosen profession, you could be inducted in a certain guild where the "mysteries" of that occupation would be revealed to you.

A case in point, the blacksmith held a prominent position in many African societies. He had the knowledge to change a metal into another metal and then use that product to build or destroy. In the Yoruba society, the patron of blacksmiths was Ogun, the original blacksmith or the originating energy (principle) of building and destroying in the universe. So blacksmiths and those with an affinity to blacksmithing (usually blood lineage) would be inducted in the Egbe Ogun where they would bring down the energy of Ogun unto their head to assist in their professions and advance them in their growth as beings.

Mande blacksmiths are called Nyamakalaw, which includes other professions. Nyama is the Mande term for the animating force permeating the universe, such as ase for the Yoruba and chi for the Igbo peoples. In the blacksmithing guild, the initiates are taught "daliluw", Mande term that "the secret knowledge about the use and nature of nyama."

Also, as a note, if we can please refrain from calling African people "tribes". They were not and have never been tribes. Europeans coined that term to make it appear that African peoples' social organization was less than theirs. African ethnic grouping and population settlement has always been organic and a phenomenon in flux. A group called Peul or Fulbe (Pulaar) is one example. They constitute a cattle-raising population that live by a set of rules called pulaaku. So for instance, a person born Bamana, but that adopts a more nomadic lifestyle and pulaaku would be a Pulaar and would be referred to as yimɓe pulaaku.

Peace!

The Ogboni Society is much more than a council of elders. They were adepts of the "mysteries" elevated to esteemed eldership status for their wisdom and devotion. They are inducted or initiated into the Ogboni and receive more specialized training. Many Yoruba men aspire to be inducted into their local Egbe Ogboni as the culmination of their training.

This true. In Afrikan occult societies, we take an oath in front of the spirits of that house, on pain of death and spiritual dissolution, to never reveal the teachings taught to us. Online you can find basic information which is harmless to outsiders, but never the "real deal" stuff. Afrikan occult societies are very different in every way from European occult ones.

You can find individuals who are members of certain societies, but never get initiated in the States. Palo you can initiate here, but the others I would say "no." Many of the uncommon societies, you can only initiate in Africa because the members are so secretive and the societies are underground even in their own countries.
