However, it’s important to remember that the enumeration of these commandments is not scripture itself. It is tradition. Yes, even the Protestants follow tradition.

Just a thought which I’m not interested in debating... equating the tradition of the Protestant’s 10 commandments to the myriad traditions of the Catholic church seems like quite a stretch.

But Protestants don’t put tradition on equal footing with scripture. And if there is a disagreement between scripture and our tradition, we ditch the tradition.

“Yes, even the Protestants follow tradition.”
All religion is man-made. Jesus did not come to make a new religion - man did that. Religion and its do’s and don’t’s are all about controlling people - no exceptions. The systems of men - political, economic, religious - will all crumble. In fact, we see the crumbling already begun.
