The “oral Torah” is no more valid than the catholic “traditions.”

do you realize, and you will if you think for just a moment, that for the majority of time until the modern ages, all religion was taught and learned verbally....who had books, who could read them, where were they stored and who had access to them, virtually noone could afford the books that existed so the verbal word anf traditions paid a MAJOR part in the growth of Christianity.

Few, if any, modern people realize that. It’s one of the troubles we have thinking about the ancient and not so ancient past. We imagine that things as they are now are things as they always were.

Ignorance is bliss.

Verbal “traditions” are nothing but complex lies.

That is why Yeshua rejected traditions in favor of the written word.

If its not written, its not from Yehova, its from Satan.

Yehova has depended on the written word exclusively for at least 3500 years.

Somehow the word ALLOWED has dropped off your statement...
