Protestants have their own traditions, so the debate is more than a bit moot.

The article lists 10 Catholic traditions which clearly contradict scripture.

Can you name any protestant traditions that clearly contradict scripture?

The issue is not the existence of traditions, but whether or not a tradition is in direct contadiction to the revealed word of God in the scriptures.

You want to debate that issue?

"Can you name any protestant traditions that clearly contradict scripture?"

Not off of the top of my head. If you have some illustrations, I would be willing to look at the evidence.

I believe the point of the article is more along the lines of tradition over scripture. A case inpoint might be infant dedication vs. infant baptism. While I have seen both in Protestant churches, only in a Luthern church have I run into a "have to do it this way" mentality.

You would first have to determine what constitutes contradiction - including exegesis. And you'd have to get over the hurdle of sola scripture (no merely contradicting, but not addressed in scripture.)

But I am glad to hear the issue is not tradition vs. no tradition - or the canard "traditions of men."

The Eucharist for example was changed (by some) after 1400 years of tradition. Scripture did not change.

So again, you come to whose tradition and what authority. [Using scripture as your sola authority is a circular argument.]

One Protestant tradition is counter the Bible - the denial of the real presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist. Read John's Gospel, chapter 6.
