Which group believes in The Great Architect of the Universe?
Answers
Freemasonry. Masonic historians such as William Bissey Gary Leazer (quoting Coil's Masonic Encyclopaedia), and S. Brent Morris, assert that "the Masonic abbreviation G.A.O.T.U., meaning the Great Architect of the Universe, continues a long tradition of using an allegorical name for the Deity."
Hey mate!
I am here with your answer!
The Great (or Grand) Architect of the Universe is clearly the Creator God. “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1). The fact that the world is the result of an Intelligent Designer (a Grand Architect) should be a common starting point for all people (see Romans 1:18, 21).
The term Great Architect of the Universe is used by a number of groups but figures prominently in Masonic teaching. The problem is that those groups often use it because it is ambiguous. Many people—Christians, Jews, Muslims, Deists, and many Native American tribes—acknowledge a Creator, and, without a deeper look into their belief systems, it appears they all worship the same God. Speaking of a Great Architect of the Universe is essentially no more than an acknowledgment that God exists. According to the Bible, the acknowledgment of the Grand Architect of the Universe is the starting point, not the destination. One does not come to a fully biblical faith until one acknowledges that the Grand Architect has laws that we all have broken. We stand guilty before Him and deserve condemnation. But in His love the Grand Architect became incarnate in Jesus Christ, died on a cross to pay for our sins, rose again, and is coming again to gather His people to Himself. In the meantime, He has sent us His Spirit. The biblical Grand Architect of the Universe is a Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
