This completely false statement disqualifies you as an arbitor of anything Biblical.
First, Michael Rood has never claimed to be a Rabbi, and has completely denounced any person or organization that uses the title “Rabbi,” Just as Yeshua did when he walked the Earth.
If you believe that any person or organization that uses that term is anything but an instrument of the adversary, that removes you from the realm of ministers of the gospel. There are no "Great Men" in God's creation
Michael Rood has no connection whatsoever with The Way International, nor does any minister of the gospel.
The 28 existing generations of the original Hebrew Matthew bear no reliance upon any Greek translation, and differ in all areas of significance from the Greek translations.
Your perception of “problems” bears much similarity to other manipulators of the word of God.
The falseness of John 6:4 is fully supported by the chronology of the other gospels.
Sorry to say this, but this display of embrace of deception has certainly diminished you in my esteem. We have many popping jays here with flimsy understanding of the word with whom you now appear to share much.
Your “good summary” unsurprisingly begins with the same glaring falsehood that you chose to use to discredit yourself in this post; Michael Rood has never used or tolerated the use of the false title “Rabbi.”
He has consistently denounced unscriptural toys and banners,like Kippas, and “Stars of David.”
He has held solidly with the plain words of Yeshua in every way.
I have no association with Rood's organization, but to see professing believers espousing so many demonically false accusations against one of the few men that totally hold to Yeshua’s commandments gives me much grief, both for you and for him.
I certainly never would have wanted to have to write this post.
And one more thing: There are no “Jewish Roots” to the Christian Faith.
Judaism is a serious departure from the teachings delivered by Moses, and Yeshua spent the greater part of his life on Earth demolishing the error of Judaism.

It's where he was "ordained" and where he got his start. He spent nearly two decades in that cult. Are you now denying that? Well, let's look at some information.

Do we have to list all of the times he was promoted as a Messianic karaite Rabbi?
On searchbeat we find this.
Countdown 6001-New Moon Ministries - Messianic Karaite Rabbi Rood teaches seminars on Holidays and Temple. Provides teachings and an agriculturally and astronomically corrected Hebrew calendar, based on Karaite observation.
Now he has abandoned that website and we can easily understand why.
Cynical Bear has just posted proof that Rood has claimed to be a rabbi in the past. While he may have stepped back from that more recently and removed those references from his "official" sites, the record is there for those who wish to pursue the matter. So is the record for the other issues most of us have with Rood.
I know that Rood is an engaging teacher. He's also one that is very good at pushing the pride buttons: Oh, thanks to Rood, you now know the Truth that both the Church and the Jews are blinded to! And anyone who challenges Rood's teaching must be the instrument of the Adversary to keep men blinded to this Truth!
Don't let pride lead you to reject what we've been trying to tell you out of hand, nor to only get your information about Rood from Rood himself so as to confirm what you want to believe.
If you aren't willing to do your homework in this area, then you're no better than anyone else who blindly follows a tradition of men over the Word of God.
Shalom uv'rekha m'ach Yeshua HaMashiach
