In a more serious note sir, tradition cuts both ways. Remember for the Pharisees, Jesus could not have been the Messiah. He violated to much of their Tradition, for instance in healing a non life threatening injury on the Sabbath. Not to mention the issue of eating with non Jews and unclean people.

They made the same claim to the authority of tradition that many Roman Catholics make, and it blinded them to Christ.

You're mistaking tradition small "t" with Tradition capital "T" the former man made but not ipso facto bad, and the latter God given therefor always good.
