More explanation about New Covenant Literal Application

The New Covenant Literal Application Code (NCLA) is an interpretive guide used by the authors to indicate which person categories a mitzvah applies to, and at what level of literal compliance.

It combines person categories such as Jewish, K'rov Yisrael, and Gentile, together with male/female distinctions and an application level such as mandated, recommended, optional, or prohibited.

This code reflects the authors' interpretive opinion and is provided for prayerful consideration. On this page, the technical code is summarized into plain language to help new readers understand it more easily.

Commentary

Rabbi Michael Rudolph

Despising and hating are similar. It is the authors’ opinion that one can reject and even despise Yeshua as a result of being wrongly taught that his claim to Messiahship and deity is false, but one cannot despise God without Satanic evil having overtaken the despiser. Despising God and /or Yeshua results in rejecting their values and disobeying their commandments.
