Subject: man's tradition |
Bible Note: Hello Al, I think you misunderstand how Paul used the word "tradition". The word means to transmit or transfer behavior or lifestyle or body of knowledge to others. I think we can agree here. So in that regard, Paul is insisting that others follow apostolic teaching as delivered and apply that in the local churches. What it does not say is that we are allowed to make new traditions in the church. The truth of the one holy apostolic and catholic church has largely (and sadly) been ignored by God's people. Steve |
