Jesus taught against tradition as did the apostles..

You lost me right there. IMHO He/they taught against SOME tradition, not all.

Honestly, I am trying to find a place where Christ taught against tradition, instead of simply expounding on Jewish law to his followers, or answering the legal challenges of the scribes and Pharisees...

Do you know any tradition He taught against, just off the top of your head?

“You lost me right there. IMHO He/they taught against SOME tradition, not all.”

If he taught against some, then it seems tradition isn’t as reliable as scripture.

What teaching did he authenticate from tradition? Where did he use or recommend tradition as useful for interpreting scripture?

All of us have traditions, but Protestants measure our traditions against scripture - or at least, we say we should. For a teaching as serious in importance as Purgatory or doing penance to be absent in scripture is pretty disturbing to most Bible-believing Protestants.

Jesus was speaking against all the religious tradition of the time. Can you point me to one tradition that Jesus taught??
