In what manner did God speak?
According to paragraph 071, God put His Spirit onto Jesus. According to paragraph 054, the Holy Spirit did not speak to people through Jesus (and therefore not through anybody else either) except by parables. According to paragraph 041, parables need to be understood. The fact that they need to be understood indicates that they are riddles. The words of God therefore necessarily form riddles.

Which words are the words of God?
According to paragraph 010, a person can discover which of the words in the Bible are the words of God by using the principle that every word [of God] is established [to be a word of God] in the mouth of two or three witnesses. This principle was therefore applied to the Bible, beginning at the four gospels which are the first four books of the "New Testament". The words of God, which were established by this principle to be words of God, were collected into a document.

What was the document called?
A document having been formed, a name for it was needed to distinguish it from other documents. According to paragraph 116, Jesus-Holy Ghost named his-His gospel "this gospel" to distinguish it from all other gospels. Considering that the Holy Spirit did not speak except by parables which are riddles, His gospel must therefore consist entirely of riddles. The name given to his-His gospel was therefore This Good Riddle.
