TAKING SCRIPTURE AT FACE VALUE

AND

SIMPLY DOING IT.

IS HARDLY practicing anything of my own making.

I realize God's simplicity sometimes escapes us in the complexities of reality and life.

But the basics are rather straightforward.

As CHRIST SAID:

LOVE GOD WHOLLY.
LOVE OTHERS AS YOURSELF.
DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU'D HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU.

Therein lies the whole law [and any worthy 'traditions']

Chinese have been finding this so by the millions.

Too bad so many Romans and Protestants of every stripe are still stuck in fossilized traditions of men to the grief to anger of The Father, The Son and The Spirit.

Part of even you

KNOWS

that

but refuses to admit it because you instinctively know God would then demand change on your part. And your security and comfort zones are all wrapped up in the your RELIGIOUS STATUS QUO.

Define "traditions" vs "Traditions". I don't see any evidence that you have an understanding of the distinction.
