We write this as an appendix to our study of the "ONE LORD". We need to be aware
of the evil seed and the line of attack adopted by the enemy, but we need also to beware
of being side-tracked from the pursuit of positive truth. Consequently we leave to every
reader the responsibility of choosing how far he should prosecute his investigations into
the myths and legends of ancient Egypt; we, in the prosecution of the stewardship
entrusted to us, while `warning every man' where necessary, must pursue the positive
teaching of all Scripture that focuses our wondering attention on the One Lord, God
manifest in the flesh, the Lord Jesus Christ, or our faith, our love and our hope.
