ArchivedReality v.s. TraditionAineo wrote I agree,any tradition that contradicts the Bible cannot be from God. But the Traditions of the Church dont contradict the Bible, so therefore they are from God. Also when Jesus was talking about the "Traditions of men" as you say, he was talking about the Pharisees and sudducess. Quote the Bible in Context. "In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy." Luke 12:1, KJV "Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition." Matthew 15:1-6, KJV As we can clearly see, Jesus is clearly talking about Tradition that contradicts the Word of God. And that he is specifically talking to the Pharisees, not in general. "He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death: But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free. And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye." Mark 7:6-13, KJV Again Jesus only speaks about tradition to the Pharisees and sudducess, because with their traditions they forgot Gods Law. This applies Only to Tradition which contradicts Gods word and you have still yet to show me how the Catholic Church does that. Tradition Is Biblical; "Now I praise you that ye remember me in all things, and hold fast the traditions, even as I delivered them to you" (I Cor. 11:2). "Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which they received of us" (2 Thess. 3:6). Where are the Protestant church traditions? there are none it has no Apostolic tradition. The Catholic Church does! Sola Scripture? You have yet to show me it in Biblical light, as you cant show me it in Tradition I am waiting on you Aineo or Alpha for that matter. There are many reasons why we reject Sola Scriptura: The first and most important reason is that it is unbiblical. Other reasons are that it is unhistorical, illogical, inconsistent, impractical and improbable. Sola Scriptura is unbiblical. Nowhere does the bible teach that the bible alone is our sole authority Peace |
