I don't have time, this morning, to do much more typing. But the upshot is that the custom was to dedicate one's inheritance to the temple, thus placing it off limits for caring for parents. This custom ended up violating the 4th Commandment of the Decalogue.
Thus, in the context of what was written, we should acknowledge that people who obey the traditions of men OVER AND ABOVE the Word of God are in error and sin against God.
The same holds true to this day: little "T" traditions that go against the Word of God are in error and bring people to sin.
However, what is identified as big "T" Sacred Tradition, being the orally passed-down Word of God, can not contradict Scripture, the written Word of God. I challenge somebody to show where it does.
Just what "orally passed-down Word of God", that does not contradict Scripture, are you talking about? Could you let us know exactly what those "oral words" are? I have yet to see those "words", although thebig "T" is referred to quite often.
