The Antinomian Michael Rood

In a few articles on my website I reported how Michael Rood went over a patroled fence in Israel---because he chose to not honor or respect the locked gate --and other behaviors contrary to his claimed "torah observance". His stated view is he is on a mission from 'god' so the conclusion must be that whatever he deems good to do must be so. Any violations of the Bible or laws of the land are seemingly willingly overlooked by followers. That's just Michael, you know. While it's been shown time and again that he is a false prophet and false teacher, he continues on, changing tactics for whatever crowd he wants to garner support from.

His recent foray into Germany provided video footage which is almost laughable it is such garbage. But it isn't funny. This is a man who claims to be serving God who deliberately breaks a countries law where he is a guest, and videos it as he fully flaunts that law. He then makes up information to make it appear he has something worthwhile to say.

This latest fiasco began with a focus on Jews during the war and their placement of flag holders on their window frames. In order to go to one home, he chose to break the law.

Standing at a walkway beside a bridge that has a metal bar and sign across the entrance, he refers to the sign and says,

Quote:"Any time I see the word "verboten" on anything - unless I ask you, please do not tell me what is "verboten" . But here we are at this bridge going over the river and this looks like [pointing to sign that reads "Durchgang verboten"]... it looks like it says dutch gangs are forbidden, and since I am not a member of any dutch gang then I thought you can join me and I wanna show you something on the other side of the bridge. Come on follow me - as he deftly puts one leg then the other over the bar that is across the bridge and walks across it.

It should be obvious that a gated bridge with a sign on it pretty much means don't cross in any language. Except in Michael Rood's antinomianism.

"Durchgang verboten" means "NO Passage" or "NO thoroughfare!". It's not that complicated a concept. Even a child would comprehend what the barred gate meant.

After going to a house, he then moves on to a large complex. Standing next to a sign that says:“Benutzung der Sportanlage ohne Genehmigung der Stadt verboten - der burgermeister”, Rood states:

Quote:“This is a school that 10 years ago housed 800 children … now there are only 80 children in this entire facility at this point. It’s almost a national monument to the abortion epidemic in this country [Germany] which is funded by the government. … This sign in front of me as you can see says the all familiar word “verboten”.

I can only assume that this sign now means that children are forbidden. You are forbidden to have children … and signed by der burgermeister and commiserate with Burger King – where we in America are feeding our children with meat that come from animals that are filled with bovine growth hormones ….."

In his rant about abortion he claims that children will soon be forbidden due to government not allowing any more children to be born.

Here's what "Benutzung der Sportanlage ohne Genehmigung der Stadt verboten - der burgermeister" means:

"Use of Sports Facilities without Permission of the City banned - the Mayor" [permission> authorisation, or similar; Banned> forbidden, etc]

So Michael Rood presented the whole spiel about the 'school' and the 800 children down to 80....and his whole spiel had nothing to do with the Sports facility he stood in front of that he claimed was a school.

Let's see what the Word of God says about these things.

1 Peter 2:12-14 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. 13. Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; 14. Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.

Tit 3:1 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work.

Eph 4:25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

Romans 13:1-3 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. 2. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 3. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:

Revelation 22:14-15 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. 15. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

Colossians 3:8-10 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10. And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

Since Michael Rood claims to abide the Law of the OT, let's look there:

Lev 19:11 Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.

Lev 6:2 If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against the LORD, and lie unto his neighbour in that which was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived his neighbour;

Pro 14:5 A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.

Pro 14:25 A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies.

Pro 19:9 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.

Pro 17:4 A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.
