Michael Rood

[Vic]

Despite extensive research and analysis from 2003 forward, Michael Rood has had a few doors opened over the years into the Messianic, Hebrew Roots/ Two House and also Christian arenas.

One can review the many articles re Michael John Rood or Michael Rood, Michael Rood Ministries, A Rood Awakening, at http://www.seekgod.ca/topichrministries.htm#michael

That Michael Rood has less than Scriptural or factual teachings doesn't seem to matter to those who like their ears tickled. For the many who have taken the time to research and find out what exactly Michael Rood is about--good for you.

For those who have fallen for the many carrots dangled as 'new doctrine' or 'new understanding' or 'new revelation' or just plain conjecture, unverified information, plain incorrect information, denigration of the person and name of Jesus that "pagan" Christians believe in...etc...you need to step back and consider that we are called to prove all things.

Michael Rood's June newsletter, which can be found at his michaelroodministries.com, was again filled with himself and his claimed exploits and as is normal...ZERO documentation to prove anything has been done, other than at his own computer....we see his claim of many travels worldwide...at the expense of others, if it has taken place at all....and we see such unbiblical statements as:

"...We held a Passover Seder for 250 people. ... Seated at the raised head table with me were the most important people attending the affair..."

Forgotten were the Scriptures of Jesus Himself who said,

Mat 23:4 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.
5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.

Missing is also knowledge of the first part of that passage Mat 23:3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. --Michael Rood spouts this passage many many times--and misses the whole issue.

James also wrote: Jam 2:2 For if there come to your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;
3 And you have respect to him that wears the gay clothing, and say to him, Sit you here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand you there, or sit here under my footstool:
4 Are you not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
5 Listen, my beloved brothers, Has not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to them that love him?
6 But you have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?
7 Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which you are called?

As for giving sacrifices again for Passover or whatever....we have been discussing that in the thread http://www.seekgod.ca/forum/showthread.php?tid=318

Jesus was the final sacrifice, and is the final Passover Lamb. Therefore to advocate further sacrifices is to overturn His sacrifice and the Scriptures...something which Michael Rood excels at.

The June letter again provided those following in Rood's footsteps another opportunity to see the recurring failed prophetic predictions again put forward as something new... prefaced with the usual concept of world events, 'just as I said it would happen'.

I have several times listed in articles concerning Michael Rood, and tracked all his failed prophecies and predictions, and regurgitated statements when proven false, and disclaimers and heretical statements.

People that follow false prophets and false teachers like Michael Rood tend to get what they pay for, but not necessarily what they pray for.
