Tradition versus scriptures
In all ages of the world there have been those who cling to the idea of unwritten traditions. Jesus in Mark 7:1-8 speaks of the “tradition of the elders”, and refers to those who practice such as “hypocrites” and goes on to say that their worship is in vain and that their hearts are far from God. When we study the traditions of man, we find that they are unworthy of our faith and trust.
Great Awakenings: The Problem with Every Man’s Heart
Clay Center, Kansas – Why does God appear so hard on men versus women? He says, “Husbands . . . do not be harsh with [your wives].” (Colossians 3:18) And He follows that up with, “Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.” (Col. 3:20) Since God is all-wise, why did He not address the women, teaching them not to be harsh with their husbands, and urging them also to refrain from provoking the children?
