Yes, that's correct....traditions can and do get in the way of truth and Christ spoke of these as so. People hold traditions fast in their grip...they do comfort or make one feel special so in putting these aside there is a fear of loss of the familiar. Not realizing these traditions can actually stop the otherwise blessings God would have them know. Like a choice between better or best...some do settle for just better. In other cases the traditions bind a person and they cannot experience the freedom in Christ he gives. But dancing is done...the two step continues...and on occasion some decide they don't want to dance anymore...then they are “still before God” and find His peace, strength and freedom.
