I Believe that the Holy Scriptures are God's Authorized Biography, and

I Believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is God's Authorized Autobiography

That's it.  It's all in there.  It'll come to you.  Just meditate on it a few years!

In the Love of God,

"Just meditate on it a few years!"

My dear Arc,
One of Ray's greatest lessons to me is that although God calls us (and maybe chooses us) it doesn't excuse us from putting  in the time to meditate and study His Word continually. We never "arrive" and there is always fresh truth that we can not receive all at once. We have to put in time and effort. Ray certainly did.
That said, I am going back to study all of Ray's teachings another time, and it won't be the last.

I've got so much studying to do to understand this. Anyone care to explain it? :-)

John from Kentucky:
Ray wrote that "It is the second part of my statement that contains the highest possible wisdom regarding the reason for the cosmos, the creation, the human race, and God's personal purpose for creating humanity".

The bold faced type is from me.  Ray is referring to his statement that Jesus is God's Authorized Autobiography.

What Ray is saying is easy to understand.  You just need to know what an Autobiography is.  An autobiography is a revelation about yourself, written by you.  Jesus is the Word.  The Word came from the Father.  Autobiography.  Jesus said that He and the Father are One.  Get it?

It also ties into Ray's April 2, 2011 message that this Enigma of God understanding is the most amazing truth that we will ever know from the scriptures.

Ray has left us a gift to meditate upon.

whyisthatso:
The Father is above all that exist. He is the Creator of all that exist. As such, the Father cannot be a part of His creation, not in the literal sense that He can coexist with His creation.  If this were not so, then creation would cease to exist as such, and there would be no "God" of creation.  The Father willed that the creation (creature), know Him. This is why He gave us His Son. The Son was "begotten" (came forth) of the Father. This is how the Father can communicate and interact with His creation. The Son is the express image and likeness of the Father, and in Him ( the Son), dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. " No man has seen the Father at any time, and none has heard His voice "  But, the Son says " .....if you have seen Me, you have seen the Father".  Also that " ...the Father and I are one ".  The Son is the "Word" (logos - revelatory thought) of the Father.  Just as the Father created all things by (through) the Son, we can only know the Fathers will by (through) the Son.  The Son is the "Spirit" (Holy Spirit) of God the Father.  It is this "power" (authority)  that the Father exercises to govern His creation.   If any would like chapters and verses of Scripture to substantiate these things, we can examine them together.  Ray was just beginning to understand the "relationship" when he passed on.
