But I am curious, just what tradition is it that YOU believe violates or contradicts scripture?
This, for one:
You shall not make to yourselves any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them. For I YHVH your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons to the third and fourth generation of those that hate Me,Changing the Sabbath to Sunday is another example. To be fair, many of my Protestant brethren flub the same command, but they claim neither apostolic succession, guardianship of the supposedly apostolic traditions, nor their denominations to be the "one true Church," so I generally leave them alone about it. Those who make such claims are rightly held to a far higher standard.
--Exodus 20:4-5
