Thus He moved obedience from a ridged adherence of the word of the Law to the spirit of the Law

I agree, brother, Jesus was teaching adherence to the Law for the sake of love, not for the sake of following rules. But this has nothing to do with "tradition" or a teaching given orally vs. written.

What kind of tradition of man would defy the Holy Word of G-d which clearly identifies the day of the week to keep Holy and instead claim to have the authority to move it to a celebration of a Pagan sun god.

As you know, the Christians worshipped God on Sunday because Christ rose from the dead on that day, not because of a pagan God! The "Day of the Lord" is clearly written of in the Scriptures - IF the Scriptures are the Word of God, then God is allowing this new dispensation.

What kind of tradition of man would condemn the celebration of a appointed time i.e.( Pesach; Passover) which was celebrated by Y'shua with His Apostles and again create another Pagan festival for Ishtar from Babylon

Christians celebrate Passover and call it "the Last Supper" celebration. It is a commeration that Christ commanded of us. The Passover is a shadow of the good things to come - and Christ's death, the death of the Lamb of God, supercedes the Passover lamb of Moses' time. Easter and the Triduum have nothing to do with Pagan festivals...! Christians willingly went to their death for the express purpose of NOT succumbing to pagan ideas!

These seem to be two examples of the tradition of man moving men AWAY from G-d!

I respectfully disagree. History clearly sides with me, as both celebrations are found in Scriptures, the Word of God.

Tradition at that time was whoever sat in the Chair of Moses was to read the Tanach as it was written.

Clearly, then, you admit that ALL traditions are not bad? Jesus Himself told the Apostles to follow that tradition!

Because there was already the written Holy Word of G-d!

The New Testament was not written yet when Christ ascended into heaven.

Regards

The "Day of the Lord" is clearly written of in the Scriptures -
IF the Scriptures are the Word of God, then God is allowing this new dispensation.

Y'shua rose from the dead on the G-d defined feast of "First Fruits"
(Bikkurim) which is to be celebrated on the day after the Shabaat following Pesach.

Pesach is commanded by G-d to be held on the 14th of Nissan.
This is the feast where the sacrificed lamb is consumed

This is followed by the commanded feast of Hag HaMatzah
( the day when all leaven is removed from the house;
this is a metaphor for the removal of SIN)

The day following the Shabbat following Pesach
just happens to fall on a Sunday ( first day of the week)

The Festivals of the Lord found in Leviticus, chapter 23,
were given to us by God so His people could understand
the coming of the Messiah and the role that the Messiah
would play in redeeming and restoring both man and
the earth back to God following the fall of Man in the Garden of Eden.

Christians celebrate Passover and call it "the Last Supper" celebration.

Very few Christians celebrate Passover or even understand it's meaning.

Most prefer to celebrate the pagan festival initiated and mandated by Constantine,
who called the first Council of his universal Roman church at Nicea.
