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)”.
>> “The Council at Jerusalem addressed the Judaizers...” <<
Like I said, you are not his sheep!
The council of Jerusalem insisted that the converts should hear the scrolls of Moses be read every Sabbath day in their synagogue.
One that does not believe in Yeshua and all he taught will not be saved. You hate his Torah, even though you know NOTHING of his Torah.
>> “What else is there to be “fulfilled” in the Law?” <<
.
Everything but the spring feasts remains to be fulfilled.
If you don’t know why do you post such nonsense?
JESUS fulfilled the Law.
When we are in Him, we have also fulfilled the law.
He died and rose again, conquering death, therefore, IN HIM, we too have died and conquered death.
The Law has no more claim on us. Its power over us is broken and we are not bound to it or by it any more.
So, how is the Law written in our hearts int eh first place? By God's grace or do we merit it first?
And if by merit, how do we merit it?
YOU are the Judaizer.
You want us back under the Law.
The Councils decision was simple and it did NOT include telling the believers to observe the feast days.
What the Holy Spirit said was this......
” For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay on you no greater burden than these requirements: that you abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what has been strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell.” “
Not a thing about any part of the Law or feast days.
I'd say it is you who does not recognize the difference...
Acts 15:[5] But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.
The Pharisees here are not speaking of the traditions of men...They are speaking of keeping the the law of Moses...
And what was the response???
[10] Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
That is speaking of the same law of Moses...NOT man made traditions of the Pharisees...
This was the struggle that Paul endured as he brought the true Torah to the dispersed northern tribes that had been persecuted by Pharisees, and by the pagans among whom they were living.
Paul did not bring the Torah to anyone...Paul brought a new gospel to the people...And that is grace thru faith without works (the Torah)...
>> “Scripture says there is only bondage under the law but there is freedom under Christ.” <<
Jibberish!
The freedom in Christ is derived from obedience to his Torah.
That is what Paul, James, and Peter all say, how can you say otherwise?
You are a total Biblical imbecile.
The ‘vail’ of verse 14 that was taken away is the vail that Moses kept over his face as stated in the previous verse that you chose not to disclose.
You are deeply deceptive and dishonest in all that you post, taking the Word and turning it backwards.
I can’t imagine anything more disgusting.

>> “Christ didn’t die to make Law breakers into Law keepers” <<
.
Wow!
Scripture?
Rom 4:7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
Rom 4:8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
This is the 2nd time today I posted this to you...Apparently you don't get it...Or don't want to get it...
>> “The Pharisees here are not speaking of the traditions of men” <<
.
Wrong!
The Pharisees had the gall to declare their ‘law’ to replace the Law of Moses, and fully preached that Yehova himself had to bow to their oral law.
You jump in on things that you plainly have never studied, and make a fool of yourself.
Cherry pinking my comments, eh?
You can’t do any better than to misrepresent someone?
>> “The Councils decision was simple and it did NOT include telling the believers to observe the feast days” <<
.
You are a child of darkness.
The feasts were the very heart of worship until Constantine crushed it.
Just read the gospels and the epistles. Every thing they did was centered on the feasts. It is impossible to read Paul without seeing how he arranged everything he did around his ability to be in Jerusalem for the feasts.
>> “You can’t do any better than to misrepresent someone?” <<
.
Looking in the mirror?
You have reversed every comment I’ve posted in your strawman replies.
Act 15:5 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.
You are making it up...Here's the verse...The pharisees were speaking of the law of Moses, NOT their oral tradition...
We have the bible right in front of us...You can't make things up and get away with it...
You jump in on things that you plainly have never studied, and make a fool of yourself.
Insult all you want...I'm not too worried about looking like a fool...But you might want to be...
You are blind.
The Pharisees didn’t care a whit about Moses. What they considered to be the real law was their traditions. That is what Matthew 15 is all about. They pushed circumcision because they bilked the people to do them.
What whacked out theology. Jesus Himself told us that we need to be born again. Those who are born again, born from above, ARE Christians.
A little research into what the meaning of that word 'again' actually is will show the word is 'above' as is plainly explained in John 3:13. Call it whacked out theology all you need, but, I did not write it.
Furthermore it was not anything 'new', as demonstrated by the question Christ asked Nicodemus in John 3:10 Jesus answered and said unto him, "Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
12 IF I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
Here is the meaning of 'born from above' NOT 'born again'. John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, BUT He That came down from heaven, even the Son of man Which is in heaven.
Every soul, it is called 'breath of life' in Genesis 2:7 decides if they will take this flesh journey. Only those that take this flesh journey will have opportunity to 'see' the kingdom of God. Those 'Sons of God' of Genesis 6 refused to take this flesh journey, and that is who the book of Jude is describing. They and the devil are the only named entities that have already been judged to death as of this time.
In Jude those 'fallen angels' refused to take this flesh journey and they will not 'see' the kingdom of God.
God some Scripture to support that? I see an amazing number of people put forth their theology and make blanket, authoritative statements but are really short on providing Scripture to support it. Usually, they just devolve into personal attacks.
I gave the book of Jude as Scripture to 'support'.
I consider the accusation of me using 'my' theology as a personal attack, and then the follow up insinuation that my purpose is to attack personally. I did NOT WRITE the Scripture.
Funny thing about this discussion, we are not under the law, is my background. The only thing not required under the 'church' I was raised in was the act of sacrificing an animal. And if there was a way that could have been incorporated they sure would have tried.
No wonder the liberals have devolved into lawlessness they too are not under any laws.
Folly!!!! What do you think God records in His book of life? All sins not repented.
You stated to Cynical..
” If the Law is bondage to you...you are not His”
What would be the least of the commandments?
This is not the Sabbath or the 10 but ALL 613. The smallest “jot or tittle” of “the law and the prophets” will not pass away....... The jot or tittle is the smallest stroke of the pen in the Hebrew alphabet. This would include all the ceremonial laws as well!
If one insists on keeping the 10 then this means we would have to keep ‘all the Torah laws that Israel kept’, there would be no change from the new covenant.
If the law is still in effect then so are the penalties for breaking the law.... If one separates the penalties then the commands have no authority or justice on an individual.... But Jesus also mentioned the prophets, that all they have prophesied will be accomplished.
Jesus fulfilled all the laws requirement by his perfect obedience, taking upon himself the penalty and the curse of the law and with his dying rendered it inoperative for the believer (Rom.10:4-5; Heb. 8:13).
To say one is going to keep the Old Testament law because of requirement is to ignore the work that Christ did in our stead in the New Testament covenant.
Sure he did!
Sure he does!
It seems that you take the word COMMANDMENT and pack as many things into it you want.
