Jesus said, “I will build My Church…” There is a single organization that teaches the entire truth of the Bible, and is called to live by “every word of God.” Do you know how to find it? Christ said it would:

  • Teach “all things” He commanded
  • Have called out members set apart by truth
  • Be a “little flock”

Would God consider it a sin to visit my uncle, who is a Mason?

I am supposed to be visiting my aunt and uncle for a few days. However, I have recently discovered that my uncle is indirectly involved with a semi-religious group known as the Masons. Due to my uncle’s association with this group, by visiting and staying with him, would God consider me “unequally yoked together with unbelievers” (II Cor. 6:14)? Would He consider it a sin for me to visit them?

Staying with your aunt and uncle would not be considered being “unequally yoked together with unbelievers.” Nearly every member of the Church has close relatives who are Protestant, Catholic or of some other religious belief. These members still visit and associate with their relatives on occasion, though their bonds with those relatives might not be as close as before. In short, we do not have to avoid contact with relatives of another religious association—unless they are unusually hostile or pushy in regard to our convictions.

The Bible indicates that, out of necessity, Christians have to deal with the people of this world. Christ does not expect us to become “monks” or “hermits.” But we must use wisdom in interacting with them (Col. 4:5).

Notice that the apostle Paul acknowledged the necessity of having to associate with people in the world: “I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must you needs go out of the world” (I Cor. 5:9-10).
