Parenthetically Speaking (Before We Are Saved From the Wrath To Come)
A Rood Awakening Tv ^ | 7 February 2014 | Michael Rood

Posted on 02/09/2014 9:26:46 AM PST by Errant

Parenthetical clauses are used throughout scripture to explain how, why, when and where in close proximity to the main subject and verb.

Parentheses in the book of The Revelation explain cause and effect. They tie together the events that happen previously, to the events that transpire subsequently on the prophetic timeline. Unfortunately, parentheses, as a literary devise, come centuries after the actual parenthetical clauses so prevalent in both Hebrew and Greek linguistic constructions. Because of their late arrival into the English language, the parentheticals in the book of The Revelation have never been either deservedly researched or accurately articulated. Now, after more than 40 years in the making, The Chronological Gospels is complete with all of the extensive parenthetical clauses accurately assigned throughout the book of The Revelation.

Now, with its impending fulfillment looming large on the horizon, The Revelation can finally be understood with clarity and lived with integrity. This one feature (the parenthetical clauses in The Revelation) in The Chronological Gospels is worth one thousand times the price of the book itself.

Join Michael Rood for the first of the last four teachings on the very last book of the Bible, “Parenthetically Speaking (Before We Are Saved From the Wrath To Come)”.

It's show time!....Impostor Michael Rood playing dress up as a Wannabee Jew

Rood want's to be Jew, huh? You really think this is what this is all about and you really expect us to believe that?

You're just lying again caww. Your whole purpose since you've began your campaign is to prevent the truth the Almighty intends for the world to hear, from getting out. Who do you think benefits from that? Satan of course... And your never going to stop the Word from being preached throughout the world as Yeshua foretold 2,000 years ago.

These unremorseful attacks on Rood (a man of God Btw), lying without guilt, boastfulness without shame, hypersensitivity to criticism, and other symptoms, are indications of a 'possibility' of some kind of personality disorder that I recommend you seek counseling on before you make a bigger fool out of yourself darling...

Flaming and name calling is not considered providing facts with documentation or proof of anything except the inability to prove ones own statements or position Errant...which is your habit....

....Michael Rood has shown himself to be a manipulative pretender who is clearly willing to sacrifice God's Word to further his own so-called prophetic agenda........ his embrace of a reliance upon Rabbinical custom ( legalism), and his blasphemous ‘rejection of plain New Testament doctrine’ whenever it suits his program demonstrate he is completely heretical....Rood cannot practice true Christianity without the Jesus Christ of ‘Christ’inaity.

What Rood is preaching has nothing to do with the Biblical teachings of Jesus Christ as Savior, in fact at most Rood gives even little lip service to the salvation offered through the life, death and resurrection of the Biblical Jesus.

I know it isn't, so WHY do you insist on continueing to do it???

You utter the words above then continue on with your "Flaming and name calling", just like in this post I'm addressing now.

Another lie caww. You'd better ask the son of perdition to put you into his "False Witness" protection program!

Rood gives even little lip service to the salvation offered through the life, death and resurrection of the Biblical Jesus.

I thought you just got done sayin',"[Rood's] preaching has nothing to do with the Biblical teachings of Jesus Christ as Savior". You having trouble keeping your lies straight caww?

Michael Rood teaches WHY we should believe Yeshua is Messiah (based on hours of evidence he presents in his teachings about the Bible), quite different from you and those who think like you, who teach you either believe what we say you are to believe or else! You have more in common with the Mullahs than any established Christian Judah belief.

This is why I've said many times caww: "You don't have to have blind faith to believe, you have to be blind NOT to believe in Yeshua after you KNOW the truth." For our faith and that which we believe is built on the rock of truth.

Chill out on this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NKK8YDb4Cg, maybe it will give you peace in the awesomeness of the Almighty's power, and through that power, his truth and plan for ALL of us WILL be revealed caww...

Just a taste of Roods emotional and bizarre/twisted antics.....how anyone can hear this rambling and brazen outbursts defies explanation. But he does show why his followers are equally as brazen.

Alright, I'll play:

Rood followers fall into many of these listed, and these are just a few.

1. Almost all cults deny the Apostles creed which consists of the virgin birth, deity of Christ, his resurrection, his atonement on the cross and 2nd coming. ( Deny in part or whole)

While almost all Messianics adopt no creed, your particulars are met.

2. They have tendency to pronounce other groups as apostate and ‘they alone have the truth’.

While Messianics DO believe they are closer to the truth The movement is wide enough and varied enough that there can't be a 'they alone'...

3. They ‘devalue’ or ‘deny’ the deity of Christ.

Fully false.

4. They have ‘Extra’ sources of biblical revelation they may use Gods word ‘with something else’ to interpret it.

Again, fully false. You may point to the Hebrew calendar, but that is Biblical, as witnessed by prophecy. Prophecy occurs on YHWH's Holy Days, according to the theme of the particular day.

You might also point to Rood's synchronization of the Gospels, which is admittedly a teaching, But no more so than a Darby or Scofield.

5. They have salvation by works...either denying God’s grace or add performance. ....It will not always be easy to spot.

Fully false.

6. They will deny a major doctrine. Cult like groups take a minor doctrine and make it a major.

False - One can point to denial of trinity, But without the structure of trinity, the concept is still the same - Some Messianics consider the Ruach Hakodesh to be a force rather than a person, but since that force is emanating from the Father (and/or the Son), the person is still YHWH... so picking nits over something that cannot be perfectly proven... I might add that Christian Roots sects are pretty much-full on trinitarian...

The following are basic patterns, or characteristics, found in almost all cults that one can easily identify.

Additions:

Cults add to the Word of God by having ‘additional writings’ they call scripture, or by saying that only the Bible is God’s Word but you cannot understand it without their interpretation ‘from their own teachers or books’..... The Bible is discouraged to be read alone.

False outright.

Subtraction:

Cults ‘subtract from the Person of Jesus’ by saying he is ‘something less’ than Eternal Deity. Or they will add their own teacher as deity.

False outright.

Multiplication:

Every ‘false religion has works’ as part of their ‘system’ of salvation. They also ‘usually specify what works’ must be performed at a certain level for acceptance to their group and God.

False outright.

Mediators:

They will always have others involved for ones salvation by others. For the J.W.’s it is the 144,000. for the International Churches of Christ its discipleship partners. For Mormons it is to join their church for salvation and use their materials- Doctrine and Covenants, Journal of Discourses and the Melchizedek priesthood.

False outright.

Divisive:

Cults have people choose by ‘dividing a person’s loyalty’...It’s God through their leadership by claiming to be the only Spokesman or group for God....They also require obedience to their leadership to be in right standing with God.... They do not tolerate another’s differing opinions and it is looked upon as being divisive or of the enemy.

That sounds more like you than me.

......"Michael Rood teaches WHY we should believe Yeshua is Messiah".....

No he does not.....he teaches YOU why YOU need to depend on him for WHY you believe what YOU do.... .....all the while filling your mind with DVD'S of rubbish he's devised to engage and hold hostage his followers while he makes merchandise of them..... Once he has them then they promote his wares ...like the following:

Coffee time with some of Roods special blend for less than $20.00...one of three available on his website along with all his other keepsakes to entice and entertain his followers...ching-a ling!

Don’t know which side of the isle your on...my post is addressing Errant and Rood cult followers.....not true Messianic Jews....which Rood is not.

I will say though...my post on cults indeed is true on the similarities among them and false religions ...and what you can expect to see...Rood adheres to many of them.

Those I know who are true Messianic Jewish Christians, who believe in the Jesus Christ of the Bible for their Salvation..absolutely oppose Rood and his teachings for many of the reasons depicted on this thread.

No he does not.....he teaches YOU why YOU need to depend on him for WHY you believe what YOU do....

Funny, that's not what I got out of his teachings to ME. I got an overwhelming amount of evidence that GOD does not only exist, but that he sent his son Yeshua into the world, and while he has already fulfilled much, I got there is much left to be fulfilled. That's IS what this thread IS all about, no matter how much you try to make it about the messenger.

....”He God sent his son Yeshua into the world, and while he has already fulfilled much, I got there is much left to be fulfilled”.....

Jesus’s work of salvation was completed in full, not in part, HE said..”It is finished”. Price paid in full...there’s nothing more we can do of ourselves.

Rood on the other hand chooses to bring people into bondage under the law, as has been made clear in this thread. A truth you refuse to see, though it’s been pointed out to you ,and others, many times using scripture ...as well as many attempts to help you see through the veil blinding you by promoting and adhere to Roods teachings.

Whatever you think you’ve gained you’ll continue to wait for the next “Rood Awakening” discovery Michael Rood uses to keep his followers engaged and coming back to him as their source of truth.

Rood is one of many, and when he’s gone there will be more to replace him...all to keep people from the saving knowledge that is in Jesus Christ alone...and the grace He offers “freely” as the New Covenant God promised.

Life through Jesus Christ..there is no other way through any man.

THE HEBREW ROOTS MOVEMENT

A growing number of Christians are coming to an appreciation of the Jewish roots of Christianity and a love for the Sabbath and biblical festivals. Who are they? What can we learn from them?

A great ecumenical wave is sweeping through the Christian world. Increasingly, Christians are joining together across denominational and racial lines to affirm the great truths they hold in common and rededicate themselves to lives of discipleship. For example, in a 1994 declaration entitled, ``Evangelicals and Catholics Together: the Christian Mission in the Third Millennium,'' a group of American Evangelical and Catholic leaders expressed their resolve that all Christians unite to promote their shared values in a world that so sorely needs those values.

In the Evangelical community, thousands find strength, inspiration, and renewal at rallies sponsored by organizations like Women of Faith , Acquire the Fire,and Promise Keepers. I have never attended a Promise Keepers rally, but last fall, I experienced an ecumenical event that to me was at least as thrilling. On October 2-3, 1998, the Sabbath immediately before the Feast of Tabernacles, I participated in a joyous Feast of Tabernacles celebration held at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Kettering, Ohio. At this event, three hundred Christians from several denominations rejoiced, through songs and study of the Scriptures, in all the wonderful things that the Feast represents.

The celebration began with an inspirational Friday-night worship service. The excitement in the air brought back memories of services from the opening night of the Feast in years gone by. To my knowledge, though, I was the only one in attendance with any connection to the Worldwide Church of God (WCG).

The festivities continued the next morning with a stimulating Bible Study expounding the full context and meaning of Jesus' famous words from the Last Great Day of the Feast recorded in John 7:37-38. This study, delivered by Dwight A. Pryor, an elder of the Church of the Messiah (Dayton,Ohio), reminded me of some of the deep messages that I had heard at past WCG festivals and treasured through the years. The study was followed by a catered Israeli-style lunch, afternoon seminars, and a concluding worship service.

Events like this ecumenical festival gathering are far-from-isolated occurrences these days. A growing number of Christians are discovering the deep meanings of the Sabbath and annual festival days and the great joy and peace that can accompany their observance. These Christians join together to learn about and celebrate an important part of the common heritage of all Christians-the roots of Christianity in the biblical Judaism of our Jewish Messiah and His disciples. Together, they make up what has come to be known as the Hebrew Roots movement.

The Hebrew Roots movement is composed of a diverse variety of believers and ministries, united in the conviction that our understanding of the New Testament, our relationship with our Savior, and the mission of the Church can all be enhanced by a greater knowledge of the Jewish background of Christianity. These Christians and Messianic Jews hope to break down the barriers of mutual antagonism and ignorance that Christians and Jews have erected between themselves over the centuries, barriers that have exacted a high price for both groups. In particular, Christian antisemitism has led to intense persecution of the Jews through the centuries, placing a huge stumbling-block in the path of efforts to proclaim the true Messiah to the Jewish community. In addition, Christian ignorance of and hostility toward Judaism have often blurred Christian understanding of the teachings of Jesus and Paul.

A key scriptural passage for these believers is the eleventh chapter of Paul's epistle to the Romans. In this chapter, Paul describes Gentile Christians as “wild olive branches'' grafted into the cultivated olive tree of Israel to form one unified people of God. Of special note is v.18, in which Paul instructs Gentile Christians, ``... do not boast over those branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.'' (NIV) Christians in the Hebrew Roots movement take seriously this admonition from Paul to not take an arrogant attitude toward Jews or Judaism. They hope instead to be enriched by a greater knowledge of the Jewish roots of Christianity, and they pray for the time Paul speaks of in v. 26, when ``all Israel will be saved.''

So you bow to the curse name, I bow to Yeshua, the only begotten son of God.

It all fits perfectly:

Child of Lucifer/satan, Curse

Child of Yehova: Bountiful power of the Holy Spirit.

Don’t know which side of the isle your on...my post is addressing Errant and Rood cult followers.....not true Messianic Jews....which Rood is not.

Actually, Rood is closer to you than 'true Messianic Jews' are. Rood rejects the Teaching of the Elders (the Jewish Traditions), which Messianic Jews embrace.

I might add that the Karaites who are so roundly castigated in this thread ALSO reject the Jewish Tradition (the LITERAL Pharisaical tradition which IS the 'Judaizers' you rail against) 'Kara' means roughly 'Scripture alone', so Karaite Jews are to orthodox Judaism what Protestants are to Catholicism - They believe in sola-scriptura.

So if anything, you should have more against the Messianic Jews than you do Rood OR the Karaites.

I will say though...my post on cults indeed is true on the similarities among them and false religions [...]

Accepted. But what you fail to see is that Protestant Christianity meets several of those points itsef, and that you seem to be so inculcated with THOSE traditions, that it seems that you don't even know you are doing EXACTLY what you are preaching against.

Take that as it is meant - as an exhortation. I respect you - but it is all too evident that you do not respect me.

[...] and what you can expect to see...Rood adheres to many of them.

You wouldn't know - From what you are speaking, I don't believe you have ever listened to him at all... And what makes it funny is that even if Rood were gone today, these folks (that you express so much revulsion for) would still be there, and they would still be fed - For all that your ire is centered upon Rood, the Messianic movement, Messianics, Nazarenes, 'wannabe Jews' extend FAR beyond Rood.

Those I know who are true Messianic Jewish Christians, who believe in the Jesus Christ of the Bible for their Salvation..absolutely oppose Rood and his teachings for many of the reasons depicted on this thread.

They oppose him because he opposes the Tradition of the Rabbis. And as I have already stated, YOU are closer to Hebrew Roots folks -their doctrine is closer to yours - than the Messianic Jews... That being said, Hebrew roots folks are closer to each as they are in between the two.

Your article is an editorial from the Grace and Knowledge website..... which affiliated themselves with the Worldwide Church of God...WCG...why would I be at all interested in what they have to say about anything at all?

What is the differences between the Hebrew roots Movement and Messianic Jews?

The “Hebrew Roots movement “and “Messianic Jews and Messianic churches” are two different groups. A small percentage may lean toward the more exclusive teachings of the Hebrew roots (or the sacred name movement)

On one hand both still emphasize the law, though Messianic Jews will not say we are required to keep kosher or the Sabbath but choose to do so to keep their heritage. On the other hand, the Hebrew roots movement [HRM] (for the most part) insists that we must keep the Sabbath,we must to keep Moses law (or portions in it), which includes the Feast Days. There is no obligation to celebrate Hebrew Feast days.while it is beneficial to learn the Old testament from a Hebrew perspective, it is equally non beneficial to place non Jews and Jews under the laws that are not required. which is falling into the same Galatian heresy Paul addressed. It is good to understand how these feasts foreshadow and typify Christ, but again, they are not required to be kept. Yeshua died to break down (Colossians 3:11 & Ephesians 2:11-15). we are all spiritually one in Christ; which is not based on our natural birth but our Second spiritual Birth.

Their most ardent teaching is against using the name Jesus, which they consider pagan and even related to Zeus. So they combine a name from Yah for the Messiah, he is to be called Yahshua. Sacred name groups insist one must pronounce the name in Hebrew for salvation and prayer to be answered yet they cannot agree on the exact name 9Actually the correct pronunciation is Yeshua). Hebrew is a sacred language, the New Testament was not written in Greek

For the most part HRM does not believe Yashua (not pronounced Yeshua and certainly not Jesus) is God come in the flesh as the Bible teaches and they teach that all the laws are binding. Some reject the message of Paul and seem to not accept a new covenant, i.e through the gospel.

Messianic Jews do believe the gospel and that Jesus is God, but will often make certain parts of the law inclusive to living. They will meet on Shabbat and often have the 10 commandments displayed at the podium.There are Messianic Jews that confuse Talmudic Judaism with the Judaism of Moses, Some are also in the Hyper Charismania that has solidified itself in the church.

>> Jesus’s work of salvation was completed in full, not in part, HE said..”It is finished”. <<

.
Assertion out of ignorance of the word as usual.

“It is finished” was the traditional pronouncement of the Cohen Gadol as he completes the Passover. That is exactly what Yeshua finished. He has much to do, including saving us as he explained to Nicodemus, by changing us into incorruptible Sons of Yehova. If we are not changed, we will not be saved, as our present flesh and blood bodies of matter will cease to exist when the entire space/time universe dissolves with fervent heat and a loud noise.

Torah is not bondage in any way; it is love, and perfect liberty in righteousness.

If you hate Torah, you hate Yehova.

If you are not in Torah, you are not in Yeshua; those that love him keep his commandments.

You glow with hate of Yeshua and his Torah. You are iniquity personified.

Jesus’s work of salvation was completed in full, not in part...

Yes in part... Part II will begin shortly:

“Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

“Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.”

The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.

I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.

He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.”

We shall have to disagree Roamer...... I’m really not interested in who I’m closer to in what I believe. Rood or Messianic Jews.... It is ‘sufficient’ I know whom I’ve believed in and HE is able to keep that which I’ve committed unto him against that day.

Additionally.... I’m not looking to line up with groups attempting to unite the various faiths....regardless of what motives they use to do so.

At issue are the false and misleading teachings Rood spews and that these rob people of knowing Salvation through the Biblical Jesus Christ.....HE’s on another path and one Jesus warns of throughout Scripture.

It doesn’t matter from whatever side of the aisle they may oppose Rood... other than he’s known to be a liar and a fraud....that should tell anyone he is not to be believed nor relied on for the truth no matter if Messianic, Christian, or even without faith.

Additionally...I am very much aware of what is happening among the Protestant and Evangelicals today and it’s not good, rather an infiltration within the churches....none are exempt and too many are failing to see their condition as it is.

Look...we’re in a time where the enemy of mens souls is setting the stage for his entrance....one of the conditions is a falling away of the true faith...we are seeing that everywhere today. People seek “something” else apart and or mixed with the Gospel Message and many are taking the bait that’s given.

The bible teaches us there is only ‘one foundation’ we can build on, that is Jesus Christ.

You are right to say Roods teachings will continue without Rood, they were here before Rood.......... If we take Buddha out of Buddhism it goes on. ...One can practice Buddhism divorced from its founder......If Krishna is removed from Hinduism the teachings and the techniques continue. .....One can practice Islam without Mohammed being alive.

BUT...... if we take ‘Jesus Christ’ out of Christianity, which Rood does.... it crumbles............. Because Christianity is based upon a ‘person and His work done on the cross’, not our work.
