For the record, I'm not suggesting that Father and Son are one-and-the-same. I don't know what the alternative to that is, so how could I? I'm saying only that Father and Son are ONE. I think that statement is true, scriptural, and also what Ray taught. Feel free to figure out the rest in any way that suits you.
My "journey" in this has not been to explain the "enigma of God", but to understand it. I just
can't understand it theologically. I came into it from Scripture, and as far as I know so far, it doesn't contradict scripture (spiritually discerned). It does do a number on certain 'theological assumptions', but that usually makes me happy.
At the same time, it doesn't "contradict" what Ray taught as far as I know. Why "as far as I know"? Because Ray himself was grappling with these things toward the end. That video is documented evidence of that. And what Ray taught earlier on is still true. That Father and Son are One in Spirit is still true. That the word "God" (Theos) is a "title" and not a name is still true. The One who holds the title has a name. That the God-head is "family" is still true, else why inspire the words Father, Son and Children at all?
It was Ray who taught me the basics of what "spirit" and "soul" meant, and who taught me when you body dies, soul goes to "the unseen" where there is no knowledge of anything.
Ecc 12:7 And the soil (body) returns to the earth just as it was, And the spirit, it returns to the One, Elohim, Who gave it."

And in conclusion
:
Jesus Christ as a Man had
two parents. Let's not forget that either. Might be important.
