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.

Detailed codes: GFm - Gentile female, mandated | GMm - Gentile male, mandated | JFm - Jewish female, mandated | JMm - Jewish male, mandated | KFm - K'rovat Yisrael female, mandated | KMm - K'rov Yisrael male, mandated

Commentary

Rabbi Michael Rudolph

Compassion is part feeling and part cognitive identification with a person’s trials and ordeals. Scripture says that God and Yeshua are both compassionate and merciful. Their compassion often leads to mercy, but there are times when it does not, such as when justice requires punishment. Knowing about their compassion and knowing it firsthand are two different things. We know about their compassion from Scripture, but we know it firsthand when we are its recipient despite our knowing how unworthy we are to have received it. Knowing about it and knowing the blessing of it are both required of us in this Mitzvah .
