Jesus replied, "And why do you, by your traditions, violate the direct commandments of God?" Matthew 15:3 (NLT) ------------------ People should follow Biblical truth, not the hypocrisy and traditions of their church. We owe our life to the one true God. Lovingly, He has made Himself very known to us through His Scriptures. It is our duty and pleasure to read, study, and live our lives in accordance with the truths and principles of these scriptures. Sadly, the ancient church ignored many Biblical truths and continues today to teach goodhearted people to follow their man-made traditions. What is worse is that so many of these man-made traditions are in direct violation of scripture. Hypocrisy or Truth aggressively illuminates the scriptural hypocrisy and doctrinal lies of the "church" and will help you have eyes to see and ears to hear the Truth. Knowing and being obedient to Biblical truth is a matter of life and death, everlasting life or judgment. You should be more concerned with gaining the approval of God than pleasing your local minister or priest.
