So, can we really throw out all traditions? The problem is making our traditions God's. They ceace to derive their purpose from their effectivenss and become fixtures of society, family, or the church long after the reason for existance is past.
Knowing which man-made traditions to alter and when is tricky.

Amen. I agree.
We have to have structure in our lives and much of that is traditions handed to us.
