Tradition
“For you set aside the mitzvah of God, and hold tightly to the tradition of men — the washing of pitchers and cups, and you do many other such things.”
Words of the Messiah from the Gospel of Mark 7:8 Hebrew Names Bible
History of Faith vs Traditions of History
In our previous Summer Rerun, I mentioned the Great Schism of the Christian Church & later divisions of the Protestant Reformation.
Before then, however, Christianity originates from the faith of Judaism.
In a prior Summer Scriptural Rerun we quote Jesus telling the Jews,
“You are mistaken, since you do not understand the Scriptures nor the power of God.
Jesus to traditionalist teachers
Now in this introduction to our next Summer Scriptural Rerun we will reintroduce the faith of Abraham.
By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he left, not knowing where he was going
Hebrews 11:8 NASB20
And what does this have to do with traditions of the Catholic Church?
In fact, Jesus makes the point to the Jews that FAITH through Scripture far outweighs the TRADITIONS of man.
Jewish traditions, Roman Catholic traditions, Orthodox traditions — even Anglican, Lutheran and other traditions of the Protestant Reformation must give way to Holy Scripture.
