Continuing the extract from the Blog (http:
//s201453435.onlinehome. Duane Andry us/); these are More Ravings
of a Religious Fanatic. These topics are edgy--while maintaining
spiritual accuracy--analyses of religious principles, practices and
doctrine: Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came
not to send peace, but a sword. (Matthew 10:34) Our destination is
this: Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and
having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with
the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the
shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery
darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the
sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: (Ephesians 6:14-17)
These are tools to strengthen the thrust of the sword of the
Spirit. However, you cannot just repeat what you read here; rather,
you must also apply Scripture: Beloved, believe not every spirit,
but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false
prophets are gone out into the world. (1 John 4:1) Do not let
circumstances push you to the point of accepting mediocrity in
worship. Regardless of the challenge that faces you, stay strong in
the Lord; keeping the example of the life of the apostle Paul in
mind, as a reminder of the grace that allows us to overcome any
contrary persuasion. And lest I should be exalted above measure
through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a
thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I
should be exalted above measure. For this thing I besought the Lord
thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace
is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in
weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my
infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I
take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in
persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak,
then am I strong. (2 Corinthians 12:1-10)
We must not submit our self to the angst that produces discord. The
understanding of truth and peace is possible. Achieving that
understanding was not so much of a problem for us when we were
children; and, we can return to that state, again. What; you
thought your childhood would go away, and the peace thereof would
end? Not in the kingdom of God and of His Son. This, we will
discover, from the beginning, moving toward the end (for, as of
this writing, we have not reached that point, yet).This is our
search: to understand and appreciate the products of God, on behalf
of mankind, and beyond. To do this, we will start, From the
Beginning.By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a
place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and
he went out, not knowing whither he went. By faith he sojourned in
the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in
tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same
promise: For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose
builder and maker is God. (Hebrews 11:8-10)

Written to provide a progression from the creation of mankind to
the end of mankind, following the book of Revelation, this text
