God's Preserved Word: King JAMES vs Freemason Myth Psalm 12:6-7 KJV

 

Psalm 12:6,7 KJV

Today I received a message stating quote:

"Apparently King James was a Free Mason. I have serious questions...." 

Essential Background Studies:

No, King James 1 of England (VI of Scotland) was NOT a Mason or Sodomite.  I've dealt with this several  times over the years.  "They" (mostly Jesuits and their fellow children of Satan) hate King James with a passion and have for years done everything to destroy the 1611 KJV.  I can go back and send you videos and posts on this.  In short on the FREE MASON issue the main claim stemmed from a Lodge in Scotland making a claim that can not be confirmed by records going back to 1601.

Andrew Sheets, [12/24/2025 10:15 AM]

But let's just say for arguments sake that he was initiated into one of those Scottish rites which one lodge claims without the receipts >  we would have written or injected Masonic teachings into the translation. But no he did not. I have tons of evidence on this. He did NOT write the KING JAMES BIBLE. as many feeble minded fools claim. NO he COMMISSIONED 54 of the most brilliant minds - scholars from 3 of the most prestigious schools CAMBRIDGE OXFORD and WESTIMINIJSTR to TRANSLATE the Masoretic texts and Textus Receptus of Erasmus into the English Language.

I just double checked.

i know XAI is flawed but just a quick XAI search did you look at this?

Evidence Against the Claim and Reliability IssuesLack of Contemporary Evidence: There are no primary sources from 1601 documenting the event—no letters, court records, or diaries from James's reign mention it. The 1658 document was created during a period when Scottish lodges were formalizing records to assert antiquity and precedence over others.

 Historian Edward Macbean calls it "apocryphal," noting the absence of direct proof.

Anachronistic Nature of Freemasonry: Organized "speculative" Freemasonry, with its rituals and degrees, didn't fully emerge until the formation of the Grand Lodge of England in 1717—nearly a century after James's death.

 Pre-1717 groups were operative stonemasons' guilds, not the symbolic fraternity we know today. James's era had guild structures, but claiming him as a "Freemason" retrofits modern concepts.

Motivations for Fabrication: The 1658 record was commissioned by the lodge itself, potentially to bolster its status during disputes with other lodges.

 Scholars like those on Quora and Reddit dismiss it as unreliable Masonic mythology, similar to other unsubstantiated royal links.

James's Own Views and Actions: As a devout Christian who commissioned the KJV to unify the church and counter Puritanism, James showed no interest in secret societies. He wrote extensively on theology and kingship but never referenced Masonic involvement.

 Conspiracy theories linking him to Freemasons often tie into anti-KJV narratives but lack substantiation. 

@UltraMamaTee

In summary, while the 1601 initiation is a persistent Masonic tradition, it rests on a single, belated, self-serving lodge document without corroboration. Mainstream historians and even some Masonic researchers find it unreliable or legendary. James was not a Freemason in any verifiable sense; the claim is best viewed as folklore rather than fact.

But let's say this is all masonic lies to hide his true identity.  I go back to the King James Bible itself

Please read Final Authority by Dr. Grady

Andrew Sheets, [12/24/2025 10:21 AM]

He goes into detail of the process of the translation and who these translators were.

Andrew Sheets, [12/24/2025 10:23 AM]

I couldn't care less about King James as a man but only how God used him to commission the group of 54 men to translate the final book into the 1611 Bible. I also have all the receeipts about why it is superior to the  Geneva and why it replaced the Bishops and Tyndale.

Andrew Sheets, [12/24/2025 10:24 AM]

Another reason for reading Dr. Grady's book is to see how the Jesuits tried unsuccessfully to kill King James in the infamuous GUN POWDER PLOT with Guy Faukes

Andrew Sheets, [12/24/2025 10:26 AM]

I will end with this comment.  When you do a study on why the Vatican brutally tortured and murdered William Tyndale for translating the bible into English - from the Masoretic and Textus Receptus and not Latin Vulgate and Septuagint etc we see him saying MAY GOD OPEN THE KINGS EYES.

175 YEARS LATER KING JAMES BIBLE WAS PRINTED

Andrew Sheets, [12/24/2025 10:29 AM]

IT Took a King to control the process and stand against the Vatican

Andrew Sheets, [12/24/2025 10:31 AM]

would be small in comparison of the battle between the archangel Garbriel and Michael against the Prince of Persia in Daniel.

Andrew Sheets, [12/24/2025 10:32 AM]

Anyway sorry for the rant.  Please continue on your research. If you find solid evidence that King James as a Mason I would respect that of course.  but again this has no bearing on the actual translation.

Andrew Sheets, [12/24/2025 10:34 AM]

oh minor point  I stated 54 translators of King James Bible.7 there were 54 selected but  7 were removed at final selection so it was 47 who were divided into 3 committees in 3 universities OXFORD CAMBRIDGE and WESTMINISTER.
