Pastor Austin Hamrick was bestowed a Sword and Trowel

The Masonic Order of Royal and Select Masters 

The Sword and Trowel is the symbol for the Masonic Order of Royal and Select Masters (the Cryptic Rite).  

Why is the Order of Royal and Select Master named a "Cryptic Degree?"

"The 'Select Master' is supposed to be held in a crypt (hence the name 'Cryptic Degrees).'" (L)

Only Royal Arch Masons can become Royal and Select Masters

"The Order of Royal and Select Masters, commonly referred to as the Cryptic Rite or the Council of Royal and Select Masters, is an invitational Masonic body that serves as an extension of the York Rite. This highly regarded and exclusive order is dedicated to preserving and perpetuating the lesser-known 'Cryptic Degrees' within Freemasonry...

"Membership in the Order of Royal and Select Masters is by invitation only, and candidates must be Royal Arch Masons in good standing to be eligible for consideration. (L)

What is Royal Arch Masonry?

"Royal Arch Masonry (also known as "Capitular Masonry") is the first part of the American York Rite system of Masonic degrees. Royal Arch Masons meet as a Chapter, and the Royal Arch Chapter confers four degrees: Mark Master Mason, Past Master, Most Excellent Master, and Royal Arch Mason. " (L)

The degrees of the York Rite are classified as Symbolic (Lodge of Masons). Capitular (Chapter of Royal Arch Masons), Cryptic (Council of Royal & Select Masters), and Chivalric (Commander of Knights Templar). Biblical students and archaeologists know of the vaults or crypts beneath King Solomon's Temple. The Cryptic Rite or degrees derives its name from the setting of the degrees of Royal Master and Select Master in the underground crypt beneath King Solomon's Temple.  

The Obligations / Oaths of a Royal Arch Mason

According to Duncan's Masonic Ritual, the following are just two of the many oaths to which a Royal Arch Mason must swear:

"I furthermore promise and swear, that I will assist a Companion Royal Arch Mason when I see him engaged in any difficulty, and will espouse his cause so far as to extricate him from the same, whether he be right or wrong."

"To all which I do most solemnly and sincerely promise and swear...binding myself under no less penalty, than to have my skull smote off, and my brains exposed to the scorching rays of the meridian sun, should I knowingly or wilfully violate or transgress any part of this my solemn oath or obligation of a Royal Arch Mason."  (Duncan's Masonic Ritual p.230)

Oath taking is Evil

Does the Lord Jesus Christ approve of oath taking?  

"But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil." (Matt 5:37)

Pastor Austin Hamrick must be a Royal Arch Mason

During a Masonic Ritual at Cornerstone Chapel, Pastor Austin Hamrick's Masonic status was publicly recognized when he was bestowed the Sword and Trowel, the symbolic insignia of the Order of Royal and Select Masters. This is considered a significant Masonic honor, as the Sword and Trowel is only conferred upon those who have completed the Royal Arch degree and are accepted into the Council.

Cornerstone Chapel's Masonic Book and Sword Logo 

The logo for Gary Hamrick's Cornerstone Christian Academy is the Masonic "sword and book" within a Shield.

"The Masonic symbols we will explore today are the sword and the book. This symbol combines two powerful elements that represent both wisdom and righteous action. The sword symbolizes the protection and defense of truth, principles and Masonic morals...The book represents the eternal wisdom that must be sought and applied by the Mason in his daily actions." (Gordano Lodge 6244)

"In the Third Degree the newly Raised Master Mason learns that "The Book of Constitutions, guarded by the Tiler's Sword, reminds us that we should be ever watchful and guarded in our words and actions, particularly before the enemies of Masonry, ever bearing in remembrance those truly Masonic virtues, silence and circumspection." (Every Brother his own Tiler)

Freemasons Venerate Lucifer and not God

"The Masonic religion should be, by all of us initiates of the high degrees, maintained in the purity of the Luciferian doctrine...Yes, Lucifer is God." (Albert Pike 33° Sovereign Grand Commander Supreme Council)

The Masonic Leader website declares: "The Craft should rightly venerate Lucifer." 

Does Pastor Gary Hamrick Worship Jesus Christ or Yeshua?

Notice on the wall above Pastor Hamrick's desk is framed "Yeshua," with a Jewish menorah within its letter Y.

Yeshua is not Jesus Christ but the false messiah of Talmudic Judaism.  

(See The Devils of the Talmud: Yeshua and Yeshu)

Yeshua is Metatron, a Demon in the Jewish Talmud / Kabbalah

Yeshua is not Jesus Christ, but Metatron, a demon who's mentioned in both the Jewish Talmud and the Jewish Kabbalah (witchcraft).

"The Babylonian Talmud mentions Metatron by name in three places: Hagigah 15a, Sanhedrin 38b, and Avodah Zarah 3b." (L)

In the article, Yeshua, Prince of the Presence, and under the subtitle, Yeshua as the Metatron, it states, "...some scholars believe Yeshua and the Metatron refer to the same individual and not a separate messenger."

Gary Hamrick's Shofar

On the top shelf in Gary Hamrick's church office is a shofar.  The shofar is a ram's horn blown during Jewish religious observances.

"The Shofar is a powerful technology for prayer, meditation, Tikkun Olam, music, and transformation." (L)

Gary Hamrick is a Director of the Museum of the Bible

Pastor Gary Hamrick on the Board of Directors of the Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC.   

The Museum of the Bible proudly displays the Babylonian Talmud

According to the Museum of the Bible, 

"The Bomberg Babylonian Talmud is the first complete printed edition of the Babylonian Talmud. The Babylonian Talmud is the crowning literary achievement of the largest and most significant Jewish diaspora community of late antiquity and the early medieval period."

Important Note: The Babylonian Talmud opposes God and His Word, the Bible, and blasphemes the Lord Jesus Christ by calling Him a "Fool who practiced Magick."  Only Satan and his Synagogue would consider the Talmud to be a "crowning literary achievement." 

Pastor Gary Hamrick teaches to "Unite with Evil to do Good"    

At 47:00 in the video below, Pastor Gary Hamrick referenced the words of Frederick Douglass, who said, "I will unite with anyone to do right and no one to do wrong."  

Of interest, the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Ohio considers Frederick Douglass, like Pastor Gary Hamrick, to be a Freemason.  

"The distinguished Prince Hall Freemason, Frederick Douglass, was in his prime as a social activist and leader of Black America."  (Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Ohio)

By quoting Frederick Douglass, Pastor Gary Hamrick was denying absolute truth (God's word) in favor of compromise (human reason) because contrary to this teaching, it's never OK for a Christian to unite with evil to do good.    

"Light hath no communion with darkness" and we must "abstain from every form of evil." 1 Thessalonians 5: 2

Pastor Gary Hamrick endorses Rabbi Jonathon Cahn
