Name of the Father?

Acts 17:21 For all the Athenians and the foreigners who were there spent their time in nothing else but either to tell or to hear some new thing...
This is not meant to offend or ridicule, just something to be aware of. Religious hobbyists spend more time speculating than anything else, as this scripture attests to. Being content in sound doctrine and patience towards new revelation are signs of spiritual maturity.
Again, not meant to offend but a reminder to how weak the flesh is, even when it comes to talking about God.
Craig:
Ecclesiastes 1:9 (NIV)
9 What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.

I remember knowing sound doctrine and it got smashed to bits. I know speculating got me to this website. Could someone be considered a religious hobbyist for having a real desire to know and learn the scriptures? What is the standard for spiritual maturity? Going along with the peer pressure? Keeping quiet until someone who has been designated as more important speaks up? This is not a mock or sarcastic response. This is real, I mean I can see these same sort of lines being thrown at Jesus from the Pharisees. Often this journey is very difficult to handle. No offense intended either with this post.

Ladies and gentlemen, please. Let us not derail this thread. Though I know speculation often times avails no good reward, as river has pointed out, speculation can sometimes lead to new revelation.
I started this thread with the intention of finding out what ray has said about the name of the Father, if anything at all. It seems so far no one has been able to point me to anything specific ray has said about this name so I must assume He has said nothing specific on it.
That being said, I was also trying to understand what if anything about the relationship between Christ and His Father with my current understanding could be considered contradictory in nature. I also don't understand the confusion that I've tried to understand around what ray claims is the apparent contradiction we currently face.

It will be awhile, be patient.

I will be patient, just trying to gather what current information their actually is out there and to try and understand the apparent confusion.
