Brethren,

The part that has always confused me pertaining to this partiular phrase is "obey the moral law".

Whose moral law are we to obey? by having the word "the" before it, certainly there is but one specific law or set of laws being refered to.

Most that I have asked say it is the Ten Commandments. Of course they were Christian, also.

As I am not a Christian and my own personal beliefs contradict some of the Ten Commandments, Thou Shalt not kill, being one specifically, I find it difficult to imagine that there is one specific law or set being infered.

I have come to accept that this means the moral law of your particular faith.

The rest of the above phrase asserts that if one is truely a Mason and true to his obligations he will live by some form of religious doctrine.

Religion: 1. a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, esp. when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.

My opinions only.

Is there any discussion?

Fraternally,

Bro. Arthur
