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

We are able to study Scripture and pray alone, but Scripture is emphatic that we assemble with the brethren. It does not say how, when, or how long, but clearly not never. The reason is that we have been created to be in relationship to each other, and our relationship to God is not only person to person, but also corporate. Matthew 18:19-20 explains it this way: “To repeat, I tell you that if two of you here on earth agree about anything people ask, it will be for them from my Father in heaven. For wherever two or three are assembled in my name, I am there with them."
