1 | What does it mean to be Christ like? | 2 Pet 3:18 | flinkywood | 106371 | ||
Thanks, Makarios. Indeed, "traditions" must refer to oral and written instructions, as you say. I had first assumed this, but the word "traditions" here seems also to refer to some early liturgy, like communion, which Paul has duly mandated they hold fast to. I can't recall any epistolary mandate concerning communion (can you?), so where does communion derive if not from oral traditions? "Traditions" sounds not only like study of the gospel truth, prayer, evangelism, etc., but very much like liturgical practice. Can we make this reading here? If so, if Paul is indeed talking about congregational communion, how essential is this to the growing in grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ? Colin |

2 | What does it mean to be Christ like? | 2 Pet 3:18 | Makarios | 106395 | ||
Greetings Colin! I'm a bit confused now.. :-) Are you speaking of "communion" as in "The Lord's Supper", or the gathering of believers as a whole? Also, I believe that you are saying that you interpret "the traditions" to include liturgical practices? That is interesting, since I interpret "the traditions" in a much different way... Blessings to you, Makarios |

Makarios, maybe it's easier to ask whether "traditions" could refer also to liturgical practices in this context. Do you think there is room for this interpretation? This would include communion, Roman Catholic style. Colin |

Greetings my friend, No, I do not believe that liturgical practices, such as "Roman Catholic style" communion, are being referred to within the context of 2 Thessalonians 2:15 ("the traditions"). Blessings to you, Makarios |
