"Tradition: Avoid It!"
Matthew 15:6 says in the
Amplified Bible, "So for the sake of your
tradition (the rules handed down by your
forefathers,) you have set aside the Word of
God - depriving it of force and authority and
making it of no effect. The King James says,
"Thus have you made the commandment (or Word) of
God of none effect by your tradition." What is
the point? Man's tradition will negate the
power
of the Word! If you have tradition in you, the
Word won't work for you! That's pretty plain...
but that is what it boils down to! Jesus went on
to say in Matthew 15, verse 7, "Ye hypocrites,
well did Esaias (Isaiah 29:13) prophesy of you,
saying, This people draweth nigh unto Me with
their mouth, and honoreth Me with their lips;
but their heart is far from Me. But in vain they
do worship Me, teaching for doctrines the
commandments of men." If you desire to progress
spiritually, you are going to have to eliminate
the old traditions of men that are still lurking
around in your spirit! We have all been
taught things in the past that are just not in
line with the truth of the Word of God.
