“Traditions, Traditions”- To Jesus: Why do your disciples break the traditions of the elders... Jesus: “Their teachings are but rules taught by men.” Celibacy, Intercession of the saints, Mariolatry, Penance, purgatory, the sacrifice of the mass and worst of all a gospel which is unclear and uncertain. I thank the Lord that in spite of all the falsehood in the Roman church, there reside many simple believers who put their trust in Christ.
What about Protestant traditions like:
- Infant baptism or adult baptism
- TULIP or Born Again
- Saturday is the Sabbath or Sunday is the Sabbath
- KJV or NIV or ??
- YEC
- Male pastors only or not
- Pastors (if they're to be trusted) really must be married or not
I guess at least with Protestantism you can pick and choose what traditions you want to orient your religious life around.
Interesting that a conservative would lambaste support for tradition. Pulling that line out of the Scriptures is a favorite of leftist Christians who want to flush everything down the memory hole and reinvent Christianity into some form of Marxism.
Amen!
