Freemasonry, the Occult, and Transgenderism
Christian J. Pinto discusses the dark spiritual forces behind the immoral agenda in America, and how it relates to certain philosophies that are found in the ancient mystery beliefs of Freemasonry, Rosicrucianism and the occult groups that practice the ancient mystery religions.

Okay, praise the Lord you guys and welcome. I’m Chris Pinto. This is Noise of Thunder Radio.
We have those who are in rebellion against God, flaunting their sin like Sodom. And even with all these troubling things, we remember the Lord’s promises to us. And one of my favorite promises is in Isaiah, chapter 46, verses 3 and 4, where the Lord says,
Isaiah 46:3-4 Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the womb: And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.
We’ve got to consider how great things God has done for us through the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. We’ve got to remember the great deliverances that God has given us. This is the thing that encourages me to think about the history of our ancestors, the history that we talk about in some of our films like Lamp in the Dark, and also in the True Christian History of America. We’re talking about how God delivered the saints one generation after another after another.
When we read about the horrible things that have gone on in centuries past with the Inquisition, with things like the St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre, or the Irish Massacre of 1641, or the Massacre of the Waldensians, etc. and many other terrible things, forms of persecution, far, far worse than anything we’ve suffered here in the Western world, at least in our lifetimes.
The Holocaust during World War II, of course, was a great, great atrocity. We know that. But as Christians, I say to my fellow Christians, we’ve got to remember, yes, there is often the mention of 6 million Jews. There is not enough mention of the 5 million non-Jews who were mostly Christians in Western Europe. It’s strange how in the churches, how Christianity does not acknowledge the persecution of our fellow believers during World War II.
Part of the reason why they focus on promoting LGBT because they want to sabotage America. And gays who know anything about history, know full well that America has never been a country that promoted or even accepted their behavior at all. We’ve always been against it, and Americans have been resisting and fighting against the whole homosexual movement going all the way back to (Alfred) Kinsey (who wrote Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (1948) and Sexual Behavior in the Human Female (1953), also known as the Kinsey Reports). All the way back to Kinsey where much of this began, where really the groundwork for what we are seeing today was established. Everything that you’re seeing right now with homosexuality, transgenderism, the targeting of children, all of this has its point of origin in our country, in our country with Kinsey.
Read the histories on this, the sodomites that are being described there were an ancient transgender cult called the Gali. You go read about them online, but they were a cult that worshipped a goddess and they were effectively transgender. They were men who dressed up like women and put on the garments of women and it signified them being transformed into the image of the goddess that they worshipped. So this whole transgender cult, this is why we have it in the scripture.
Why we have examples of warnings against this lifestyle and this behavior while they claim that they’re progressing society. The reality is they are moving our society in a retrograde manner. We’re moving backward toward pagan behaviors that have been put aside by the Christian world for centuries.
If you go to Deuteronomy chapter 22 and verse 5, it says, quote, “The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment. For all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God.” So God is clearly condemning this whole concept of transgenderism, which if you study it going back to the ancient world is a pagan, very Luciferian, very satanic idea.
And it goes to the heart of all of the ancient mystery religions in many ways. If you study the ancient mysteries, in fact, one of the books that we talked about when we did our Secret Mysteries of America’s beginning series is the book, The Secret Teachings of all Ages by Manly P. Hall. There’s all these different pictures or drawings and paintings and so on that are in the book.
And one of them is called the consummation of the Magnum Opus and it’s a Masonic poster. It shows an old sage wearing a robe and his long beard and so on. And he’s looking at this container, like a glass container, and inside the glass container are a man and a woman, a male and a female. And in between the two of them is a stone. And that stone is undoubtedly the philosopher’s stone or the universal stone. And you’ve got the woman touching it on one side, the man touching it on the other. And this symbolizes the whole idea that they have in paganism and the occult, that what happened in the Garden of Eden is that man became divided within himself. That is how they interpret the symbolism of Eve being drawn from Adam’s rib. This is what creates the conflict in every person is this division of the male and the female or the yin and the yang. You see the yin and the yang. It’s the same same idea. They repeat this theme over and over and over again.
You find that throughout the architecture of Washington, DC. So you have the male and the female, they come together and then they produce the divine offspring, which is a perfected being. And it’s all symbolic and they repeat this symbolism over and over and over again. But the consummation of the magnum opus, the great work.
And you can find this on the website at gnosis.org. Obviously, these are Gnostics, modern Gnostics, and all of this ultimately you can trace to Gnosticism. They have an article there that’s called When the Two Become One, the Gnostic Apostle Thomas Chapter 24. And they go on, there’s another subheading, male and female, into a single one. So at one point, Jesus from the Gospel of Thomas says, quote, “When you make the two into one and when you make the inner as the outer and the upper as the lower, and when you make the male and female into a single one, so that the male shall not be male and the female shall not be female, then you will enter the kingdom.”
Then you enter their version of what they’re calling the kingdom of God, presumably. Or perhaps they would say it was the kingdom of heaven or who knows, maybe a combination of both, their version of what paradise is. And of course, we believe fully that the so-called Gospel of Thomas is a false gospel. We were warned about it by Irenaeus in the second century that the Gnostics created false versions of the gospel and they corrupted the original Gospels, typically by editing them, by omitting things, cutting things out of them.
The whole idea that the male shall not be male, and the female shall not be female, that’s pure Gnosticism. That is what I believe is ultimately behind all of this stuff with transgenderism. This is the reason why it is important to have at least some understanding of the workings of the secret groups, especially groups like Freemasonry which is directly tied to all of everything that we’re talking about here. Gnosticism is the point of origin for the philosophies of Rosicrucianism and Freemasonry. That’s where much of this can be traced.
For years when we were working on the Secret Mystery Series, there were those in the Christian community, obviously, that were interested. But then there were others who just waved it off as a conspiracy theory, even though many of the churches, especially your Southern Baptist churches and churches across America, are full of Freemasons, just full of them. And they’re often pastors, they’re leaders, they’re elders and deacons in the churches, and they’re not all necessarily bad fellows as it were. You know, they’re often upstanding respectable members of the community. But if you talk to some of them, and I’ve had this experience directly, I’ve talked about it before, I attended a church out in California where much of the leadership was Freemasons. And yes, they believed New Age, pagan doctrines, while going to what was called a Christian church.
Part of what convinced me to pursue the research that I’ve done for more than 20 years now was that experience early on when I was yet a young believer. And there are a lot of things I didn’t know back then, but I remember encountering these guys and having discussions and debates with them, and they were promoting things like reincarnation and the idea of many paths to God and interfaith and so on. And at the time I didn’t understand why this was the case. But then I came to realize all of this is part of the inner workings of Freemasonic philosophy, Rosicrucianism, you can trace it all back to ancient Gnosticism. This is the heresy that we’re being warned about throughout the New Testament. That’s why it’s so important. That’s why it matters. Yes, it is a biblical issue to discuss these things.
And I’ve said for years when we’re reading the Old Testament and we’re reading about how Israel fell into idolatry and started worshiping idols over and over again, and they would go out to the grove and there they had their idols. The Scripture says clearly that the children of Israel did secretly those things that were not right in the sight of God. And that is 2 Kings 17, 9. And the full verse says, And the children of Israel did secretly those things that were not right against the Lord their God, and they built them high places in all their cities from the tower of the Watchmen to the fenced city.
Now, the high places were the places where they went to worship the idols. They would worship them presumably up on some hill somewhere and then out in the groves, the trees and that kind of thing. But they were secretly involved. Why? Because it was a violation of the First Commandment. God says, I am the Lord thy God, ye shall have no other gods before me. And Israel fell into idolatry over and over and over again.
But how did it happen? It happened because you had secret groups working behind the scenes. We’re reading about this over and over again. This is what you’re reading about in Ezekiel chapter 8, secret society at work, worshiping pagan gods, while still operating within the temple of God. And that’s what we have here in America. We have secret groups at work in the churches. And they have as their agenda a plan to radically transform Christianity, so-called Christianity, into something else entirely. Something that will be completely unbiblical. And it’s why I continually think about what happened in the days of King Josiah when the Sodomites built up their houses along the walls of the temple. That’s what it reminds me of.
So if we search the Scripture, we find that yes, there are warnings concerning these things. And we’re told as believers that we are not supposed to be ignorant of the wiles of the enemy, the wiles of the devil. And that’s what this is, the deception of the enemy. And using sexual immorality to entrap, to seduce, to undermine and to vex the people of God is a tactic that we find over and over and over again in the Old Testament and the New. This is what happened in the days of Balaam, the false prophet Balaam, where he gave counsel to Balak to send in immoral women and seduce the men of Israel.
This is what we find in the book of Revelation when Jesus is talking about Jezebel. He says to the church, I have somewhat against you, because you suffer that woman Jezebel who calls yourself a prophetess to teach and to seduce my servants. To commit fornication and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. So idolatry and sexual immorality, those are very common weapons of the devil.
We have these secret groups, the Freemasons, the Rosicrucians, you’ve got Satanists, you’ve got Skull and Bonesmen, all of these groups at a certain level are unified in their pagan occult philosophies and worldviews. There is a strange unity to the ancient mystery community, where they all speak the same language, even though they might be part of different groups and organizations with different names. But ultimately, they are all aimed in the same direction in terms of believing that their mystery wisdom is far superior to Christianity. And they say, they believe Christianity is arrogant. And they’ll openly tell you, they think Christianity is arrogant. I know, because I sat down with these guys and interviewed them, that it’s arrogant for Christianity to believe that it is the only true religion.
They want to embrace all the different religions, which they call wisdom traditions. That’s what they call them. Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, all wisdom traditions. That’s how they choose to interpret them. But at the core of their philosophy is this idea. I mean, this is what symbolized in the Pythagorean theorem.
If you watch Riddles in Stone, we go over this in great detail, because they repeat it over and over and over and over again. And what we’re seeing with this transgender insanity is an expression of this that has never before happened to my knowledge, not at this level in history. It’s happened in terms of localized cults, like the Galilee in the ancient world and other cults that took part in these things. But the global transgender movement is, I mean, it’s, it is a bizarre, disturbing phenomenon that we’re watching unfold in modern times. There is a whole occult philosophy behind this.
There’s a lot I didn’t include in the transcription. You can listen to the entire talk below.
