“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.”

History of Faithvs 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.
Now in this introduction to our next Summer Scriptural Rerun we will reintroduce the faith of Abraham.
ByfaithAbraham, 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
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.
No man on earth has ever completely understood history except the Son of Man, Christ Jesus. You don’t and I certainly do not know near enough about the history of the Bible and history attested to by the Bible. We know very little of Empires other than a few. And what do you understand about centuries of church history?
With History in mind:
So in this brief 3-part series we take a prerequisite look at some events from the timeline of history. More specifically we look the beginnings of the English Bible, the fall of the Roman Catholic church and other historical issues.
Note that I have reversed my original title of eight years ago with the intention of bringing us into focus on Church Doctrine. - RH
