Scripture warns against involvement in secret societies, emphasizing the importance of transparency and honesty in all relationships. In Ephesians, the apostle Paul cautions against even speaking about the sinful actions of such groups, highlighting the need for believers to separate themselves from darkness. The prophets Amos and Isaiah denounced the evil practices of those who call good evil and evil good, while Jesus taught in Matthew that true followers should be truthful and straightforward in all their interactions. The Bible also urges discernment, as 1 John advises testing every spirit to ensure it aligns with God's truth.

Amos 3:7
★
Surely the Lord GOD does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants the prophets.
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who turn darkness to light and light to darkness, who replace bitter with sweet and sweet with bitter.
But I tell you not to swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; or by the earth, for it is His footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. Nor should you swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black. Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ Anything more comes from the evil one.
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God. For many false prophets have gone out into the world.
And this is the verdict: The Light has come into the world, but men loved the darkness rather than the Light because their deeds were evil.
“I have spoken openly to the world,” Jesus answered. “I always taught in the synagogues and at the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret.
You have set our iniquities before You, our secret sins in the light of Your presence.
This is the revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants what must soon come to pass. He made it known by sending His angel to His servant John,
For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light.
For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.
The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, so that we may follow all the words of this law.
