New Testament scripture itself identified those traditions as obsolete (in the context of Christian observance). They survive in non-Christian Jewish observance, of course.

There, I believe, is the great deception, born many years ago.

Sounds good to me. Thanks Hi-Tech! Good compromise.

If “great deception” it is in universally recognized New Testament canon.

You pays your money and you takes your choice.

There are, were, and always will be until Christ’s return, “Judaizers.” Who will insist the Jewish style is the only valid Christian style.

“The great deception” is not about various styles of worshiping Christ. It’s about pushing Christ out of the picture altogether. Once Christ has actually been encountered it is unmistakable who He is, and this is not now a God that stands on ceremony.
