The thing is that Ray did not finish his study on this God enigma. What we need to do is get into your Bibles people, if you have the Spirit indwelling, why can't you search the Scriptures for answers?

And that is the danger of posting an unfinished paper for all to peruse. It's going to cause a lot of questions that are not going to be answered because only Ray was allowed to teach here and now he's gone. The thing is as much as I valued Ray, he didn't teach me anything. There is no way any of us can understand spiritual truth unless God opens our ears. And indeed John tells us that we have no need for men to teach us;
1Jn 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you.....
I don't know, I guess I'm just wired a little differently but I don't get bent out of shape with myriads of questions and trying to figure everything out. God brings each of us along at our own speed and in his timing for us. There are some of the papers I read the first few times and didn't understand much at all and then the next time I read it truth just jumps off the page as the holy spirit gives illumination. When/if it's God's time for us to understand these things then we will. In the meantime just keep on keeping on.

Everyone step back and take a breath. Dennis and Kat have both alluded to the fact this was a work in progress that Ray never completed. Who knows, he may have found he could never complete it because of the questions that it raised.
Now then, I don't necessarily agree with it all but that would take more study and prayer before stating that unequivocally. But it does give us a lot to study and to search out for those so inclined; I do believe the fact of Jehovah as the name leaves little doubt.
Bottom line is don't let this article become a stumbling block to you, nor make it idol of your heart.

Rene:
The essay that was posted was not the "Solving The Enigma of God" paper. Ray stated:
"I am researching a paper on "Solving the Enigma of God." But as it is somewhere in the future, I decided to cover some of the shorter enigmas that will prepare us for a deeper understanding of just Who our God really is. So this paper is one of those related Biblical Enigmas."
Perhaps this paper that was posted by Dennis should have had a different title so as not to be confused with the actual paper Ray was hoping to present. :-\
Personally, I got a lot out of this paper and feel happy it was shared with us. :)

I didn't get the impression that Ray was teaching the Father and Jesus were one and the same being. What the paper is basically saying is that Jesus was given the Father's name, Jehovah was transliterated to the name Jesus. Children take their Father's name even to this day and we see where this custom came from.
Hope this helps,

John from Kentucky:
Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah. Deut 6:4
That men may know from the rising to the setting of the sun That there is no one besides Me. I am Jehovah, and there is no other. Isa 45:6
