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)”.
Ah ha! So you worship a pantheon of Gods!
And you have posted NO Scripture showing anyone else here that they are wrong.
If all of us are wrong about Jesus deity, SHOW US FROM SCRIPTURE.
Your say so doesn't amount to the output of that pony's behind that you keep referring to us as.
Gee, that sounds eerily familiar......
Would that include Michael Rood who has condemned Christians? How about those who have accused me and others of being Satan?<<
Understanding of the trinity may not be pertinent to salvation but I can assure you that convincing someone to go back under the law most assuredly is.
God tells us in Exodus 20:1-3 And God spoke all these words, saying, “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. “You shall have no other gods before me.
If Jesus is not God, you can't put Him in the equation for salvation and say that we have to go to the Father through Jesus, because that would be putting another god before God the Father and breaking the first commandment.
If Jesus is indeed God Incarnate, problem solved. The first commandment remains unbroken.
.....>>”Have you figured out what you’re going to say to Yeshua at the Great White Throne about your deliberate false accusation”<<.....
Of Course not....my name is written in the Lambs Book of Life.
The great white throne judgment is strictly for un-believers .... believers have already been glorified in the different stages by the first resurrection.
Where have you been?
We've been posting reams of Scripture.
...”I won’t be there...I will have already gone up in the 1st resurrection...”....
Yep, me as well. But it sure sounds like Rood Followers believe they will be standing there at the Great White Throne Judgement.....which testifies they really have no understanding of Jesus Christ’s Life, Death, Burial and Resurrection...or where He is now.
Isa 44:6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.
Isa 44:8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.
Isa 43:10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
Isa 45:5 I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
Jas 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
...”Has anyone seen Editor prove us wrong on the triune nature of God?”...
Not yet, but I got a ways to go to catch up ...
We certainly have a difference of opinion on the "law" as well. So which issue would you like to discuss in a reasonable and honest manner first?
Let's see how much we agree on before disagreeing on anything.
Understanding of the trinity may not be pertinent to salvation...
See, as I expected, we can find something we both agree on. Maybe this issue is already solved, unless you just wish to discuss it in greater detail?
Had to move back, I looked like this guy...
The concert was great tho...
Right along with a couple billion Catholics...
Yeah, I hear you.
At least with the hearing I have left.......
Rev. 1:4:..... “To the seven churches which are in Asia.” “Rev 1:4...... Revelation does not include Colossae, Miletus, Hierapolis, or Magnesia...... The seven named are chosen to symbolize the whole Church...... Compare Rev 2:7. Seven being the number of the covenant, we have in these seven a representation of the Church universal.” (from Vincent's Word Studies of the New Testament) All believers learn and are able to see themselves in these 7 churches that represent the whole. Further... you would do you well to read again my post in response to your post 'concerning Elohim'...which explains clearly how I see this.
The most sound and relative interpretation for the ‘seven Spirits of God ‘....is that it emphasizes the totality of the Spirit:
“There is the ‘one’ Holy Spirit with seven manifestations here to the seven churches.....
Rev 3:1: ...... “And to the angel of the church in Sardis write, .....’These things says He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars:”....( Notice it says who has (not is) the seven spirits of God.)
Seven here is the fullness of the Spirit, the seven stars is the light of the seven churches. As stated, the epistle is to the church at Sardis (Rev 1:16 He had in His right hand seven stars.) Corresponding to “the seven churches.”
Rev. 4:5: “And from the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings, and voices. Seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
There are seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. This again refers to Isa. 11 and the seven attributes of the (one) Holy Spirit.
Much like the 7 branched lampstand in the tabernacle/temple that gave light in the holy place. The lamps are emblematic of the seven Spirits of God. Lamps were filled with oil to give light in biblical times. They represent the various influences of that Spirit in the church in the world or the operations of that Spirit
Rev. 5:6: “And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes,... which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth.”
The most sound and relative interpretation for this phrase ‘seven Spirits of God ‘....is that it emphasizes the totality of the Spirit:
“There is the ‘one’ Holy Spirit with seven manifestations here to the seven churches.....

Have you figured out how you will convince Yeshua to let you into heaven when you have denied His deity? He DID say:
The Pharisees challenged him, “Here you are, appearing as your own witness; your testimony is not valid.”
Jesus answered, “Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I am going. But you have no idea where I come from or where I am going. You judge by human standards; I pass judgment on no one. But if I do judge, my decisions are true, because I am not alone. I stand with the Father, who sent me. In your own Law it is written that the testimony of two witnesses is true. I am one who testifies for myself; my other witness is the Father, who sent me.”
Then they asked him, “Where is your father?” “You do not know me or my Father,” Jesus replied. “If you knew me, you would know my Father also.” He spoke these words while teaching in the temple courts near the place where the offerings were put. Yet no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come.
Once more Jesus said to them, “I am going away, and you will look for me, and you will die in your sin. Where I go, you cannot come.”
This made the Jews ask, “Will he kill himself? Is that why he says, ‘Where I go, you cannot come’?”
But he continued, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am he, you will indeed die in your sins.” (John 8:12-24)
Acts 15:19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God: 20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.<<
And
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved”
What other than that is required for salvation?
Very good, and to Christ are ascribed uniquely Divine titles, glory and attributes.
What other than that is required for salvation?
"That" isn't where we disagree. And perhaps we're not in disagreement to great extent, if we only look at the extreme ends of the matter. To me, believing on the Messiah means you are willing to change from a life of iniquity to one of trying to live righteously. That means following the teachings of Yeshua on how we should live our lives and treat others.
Remember what he said the entire law hung on?
