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

You are completely in error.
You have accepted the word of a man’s earned detractors, and defamed him.
What CB chooses to believe is between him and God, but when it is provably false the risk is great.
Michael Rood has been known for more than two decades to reject every element of Jewabieism, and has done so on a world wide scale.
The words of a man’s detractors are proof only of their venom.
If by “pushing pride buttons” you mean fund raising, every minister I have ever known of in my life does that.
That is one of the reasons why not one penny of my donations goes to any 501c-3 compliant corporation, large or small.
All of my cash goes to individuals doing the work of Yeshua out of their own homes.
