Rood covets to be Jewish though he is not, and this is his way to unite himself with the Jews..... Sheesh, just the fact he goes about wearing Jewish Messianic garb should be enough “alert” the guy has gone off the edge.
I would not call Roody a ‘Messianic Christian’ by any means.....in fact he opposes much if their teachings....Additionally those who are Messianic Christians ‘warn’ about Roody and his teachings...(Run)...and do not see him as a Messianic Christian, and that with very good reason.
I will say again...and this regardless of the mask Roody wears "to appear" to understand Hebrew Customs and traditions, which he makes countless errors in and of to "fit" his agenda.........Rood undermines the clear teachings of Jesus Christ and His plan for the Salvation of men's souls in order to achieve his own following and significance... and by doing so leads people away from the truth...the Gospel of Jesus Christ.. to adherence to the very Law Christ set us free from.
Colossians 2:9-15 makes it very clear we are no longer under the LAW of 'sin and death'..rather the 'Law of Christ'. For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, 10 and in Christ you have been brought to fullness...... He is the head over every power and authority..... 11 In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision 'not performed by human hands'...... Your whole self ruled by the flesh was 'put off' when you were 'circumcised by Christ', having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead. When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, 'God made you alive with Christ'.... He forgave us all our sins, .....having 'canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness', which stood against us and condemned us; ....(the LAW)....he has taken it away, 'nailing it to the cross'. .... And having 'disarmed' the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle 'of them', 'triumphing over them'..... by the cross!
I dug deeper into this guy to see if your claims about him are accurate - and some of them are as you say.
However, I did not find anything that would justify a declaration that Rood is not a Christian or judge his standing before the Lord based on his doctrines and worship practices.
I would disagree strongly with many positions and teachings Rood preaches - but I will not do as you have done and state as a ‘fact’ God is not with him in any capacity and that he teaches a counterfeit Christianity.
I’ve repented of such things, and have found The Father gives His Spirit to whom He chooses - even though I do not share particular doctrinal beliefs or worship practices.
What I did find interesting is that you and Rood have a similar methodology in terms of making declarations of whom God gives His Spirit to.
You declare Rood is not a Christian and is peddling a counterfeit Christianity.
Likewise, Rood allegedly teaches those who are involved deeply in his ministry that any involvement of any kind in the denominations of “historical Christianity” leaves them in bondage to a Satanic counterfeit of Biblical teaching.
You declare God is not working with Rood, he is not a Christian.
Interestingly Rood has said those who do not observe the seventh day Sabbath and the Biblical holy day cycles are under threat of imminent divine retribution, no matter the sincerity of their attempts to understand and serve God.
You two are just alike but polar opposites on that score.
What I gather from your rants are that you consider those who do observe the Sabbaths and Holy Days not of Christ and under threat of ‘judgment’ no matter the sincerity of their attempts to understand and serve God.
It’s the height of hubris to declare another Christian not of God because you disagree with their biblical or doctrinal understanding and practices.
As I said earlier - this kind of division among the Body being the sum total of effort and energy of many American Christians - it is no wonder we lost the culture to secular hedonists and are now ruled by tyrants.
