This is in reply to CatYron@aol.com  who said:


C>"By Solomon, King of Israel; Hiram, King of Tyre; and Hiram
C>Abiff -- for the good of Masonry, generally, but the Jewish nation
C>specifically."

Excellent point you made too.  The way I read the above quote you
made is this. If we are going to take the Christian oaths in the KT
degrees at face value alone and declare it exclusionary to non-
christians.  Then in cases like the 7th degree of York Rite Masonry
we must exclude non-jews since that degree is worded in favor of the
jewish nation every bit as much as the KT degree is worded pro-
christian.  These are both degrees in the the York Rite and I can't
see where it is logical to hold a double standard.
