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).
No one is talking justification here - and that doesn't mean one is to do *no* works. We are to keep the law because we love God - Let me say that more forcefully - We are to keep Torah because we love YHWH - Not for vainglory, not for justification, but for the LOVE of YHWH and our fellow man.
NO, they most certainly DID NOT.
I don't follow the 'two gospels' thing. There is only ONE Gospel preached to the whole world... One is not a disciple of Paul. One is to follow Yeshua.
Which of the 613 laws are we still to follow?
All of them, and more so, the whole of Torah. If you focus on the 'laws' you will fail.
Surely no the animal sacrifices.
There is no more the blood of animals for atonement, for the better blood has come (as the Torah dictates, so nothing has 'changed'). But one would suppose the rest of the blood sacrifices still apply, albeit not until there is an altar to put them on... Lest Ezekiel is made to be a liar...
And pardon me, but it seems your ignorance is showing - most of the laws are not for everyone. Some are for men, some are for women, some are for temple priests, and so on...
So how is it that y’all are sneaking around in B&P instead of having this on Rel? I almost missed the whole thread!
BTW, Errant, thx for the OP. Pretty interesting.
Do you do this one>
bind tefillin on the head (Deut. 6:8) (CCA9).
How about this one?
affix the mezuzah to the doorposts and gates of your house (Deut. 6:9) (CCA12).
Or what about this one?
Not to indulge in familiarities with relatives, such as kissing, embracing, winking, skipping, which may lead to incest (Lev. 18:6) (CCN110).
Maybe this one?
Not to borrow on interest (Deut. 23:20) (because this would cause the lender to sin) (CCN55).
We could go through all 613 because even breaking one means youve broken them all right?
Would you please help us out and tell us which of the 613 laws are still in effect?
LOL! The Tefillin is not described in Deut 6:8. The Tefillin is from the Pharisees. Yes I keep Deut 6:8. The spirit of it.
affix the mezuzah to the doorposts and gates of your house (Deut. 6:9) (CCA12).
Lol! More Pharisee. But yes, I DO have a mezuzah, and it will be on the house, once I have a doorpost.
Not to indulge in familiarities with relatives, such as kissing, embracing, winking, skipping, which may lead to incest (Lev. 18:6) (CCN110).
What, are you telling me it is OK now to suck face with your relatives? That isn't what it says. More Pharisee.
Not to borrow on interest (Deut. 23:20) (because this would cause the lender to sin) (CCN55).
Yes, I keep this generally anyway as good business sense. My last business never took a loan and operated on cash accounts and countered tickets.
We could go through all 613 because even breaking one means youve broken them all right?
Yep. That's what the blood of Yeshua is for. I can keep trying to get it right.
Not to remove the entire beard, like the idolaters (Lev. 19:27) (CCN177).
How about this one?
To slay the inhabitants of a city that has become idolatrous and burn that city (Deut. 13:16-17)
Surely you go around slaying the inhabitants of cities that have become idolatrous yes?
Or what about this one?
That the fruit of fruit-bearing trees in the fourth year of their planting shall be sacred like the second tithe and eaten in Jerusalem (Lev. 19:24) (affirmative) (CCI16).
Remember if you break one youve broken them all!
Maybe this one?
Not to intermarry with gentiles (Deut. 7:3) (CCN19).
Surely you havent married a Gentile have you?
Youre going to have to help us out here. We need guidance on which laws to keep.
Oh no, no, no, no, no! If you break one you have broken them all. You dont just try. You do or die. What did you think? Did you think this is just pick and choose or do when I get a chance? Not likely.
James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
Ye hypocrites!
For some reason, when I link to anything from Michael Rood, things tend to get a little rowdy.
He has done a whole series on the end times, with two or three more to go over a same number of weeks. I'll ping you next Sunday after ARoodAwakening.tv posts it to Youtube.
If I link to his website, it brings on all manner of accusations of me 'pimping' his website and worse in trying to get the thread pulled. IMO, I think it's just ole Satan trying to keep discussion of the Almighty's message from people.
I will also post a better list of the complete list of previous presentations soon, with the subject so anyone can go back and listen to the ones that interest them the most.
Glad you could join us! :)

Yeah, and some are for when you get a round toit.
"Mighty bold words for a one-eyed fat man!"
Matthew 5:20
For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
NOW we b gettin' somewhere; Jeroboam!
Which one's are for GENTILES?
Like corban?
That is not for me to decide, but yourself. I will tell you that using the promise of God's grace to justify your iniquity probably isn't going to work. I want to tread lightly as I think this subject which has been controversial for centuries and recently taken to an extreme, deserves a careful and thorough evaluation. To that end, I copy below some of what *Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary* has to say:
"God's restraints are not a bondage, but our own corruptions are so. The doom passed upon impenitent sinners at last, will be judgment without mercy. But God deems it his glory and joy, to pardon and bless those who might justly be condemned at his tribunal; and his grace teaches those who partake of his mercy, to copy it in their conduct."
Notice the mention of "impenitent sinners".
Matt. 7:12-13 "In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.13"Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. 14"For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it."
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary Concerning Matt. 7:12-14:
Christ came to teach us, not only what we are to know and believe, but what we are to do; not only toward God, but toward men; not only toward those of our party and persuasion, but toward men in general, all with whom we have to do. We must do that to our neighbour which we ourselves acknowledge to be fit and reasonable. We must, in our dealings with men, suppose ourselves in the same case and circumstances with those we have to do with, and act accordingly. There are but two ways right and wrong, good and evil; the way to heaven and the way to hell; in the one or other of these all are walking: there is no middle place hereafter, no middle way now. All the children of men are saints or sinners, godly or ungodly. See concerning the way of sin and sinners, that the gate is wide, and stands open. You may go in at this gate with all your lusts about you; it gives no check to appetites or passions. It is a broad way; there are many paths in it; there is choice of sinful ways. There is a large company in this way. But what profit is there in being willing to go to hell with others, because they will not go to heaven with us? The way to eternal life is narrow. We are not in heaven as soon as we are got through the strait gate. Self must be denied, the body kept under, and corruptions mortified. Daily temptations must be resisted; duties must be done. We must watch in all things, and walk with care; and we must go through much tribulation. And yet this way should invite us all; it leads to life: to present comfort in the favour of God, which is the life of the soul; to eternal bliss, the hope of which at the end of our way, should make all the difficulties of the road easy to us. This plain declaration of Christ has been disregarded by many who have taken pains to explain it away; but in all ages the real disciple of Christ has been looked on as a singular, unfashionable character; and all that have sided with the greater number, have gone on in the broad road to destruction. If we would serve God, we must be firm in our religion. Can we often hear of the strait gate and the narrow way, and how few there are that find it, without being in pain for ourselves, or considering whether we are entered on the narrow way, and what progress we are making in it?
What do you think atonement is for? What do you think sin is? Every_single_time you ask forgiveness of YHWH in the name of Messiah, you are asking forgiveness for breaking the law. You are using the blood of Yeshua (the better blood) in order to try again. It is, by definition, a blood atonement. It is a function of the LAW.
Ye hypocrites!
Hypocrite indeed! Those who turn law and atonement into license.
Do a Messianic Caucus or hang an ecumenical tag on it - this should really be in Religion just to have that advantage. CERTAINLY Rood is within the Messianic or Hebrew Roots community.
That certainly seems to be the overwhelming consensus of Christianity today.
HAY! I still got both my eyes and most of my teeth!
