Well, I never knew about the absolute hatred Catholics have for Protestants. When I was growing up, I knew 3 Catholic families and the kids were a few years older than I and one was years younger. I was really surprised and amazed to read stuff posted by Catholics on here. I never realized how hateful some can be. I also never realized they did not read the Bible as much as Protestants do. Some seem to have no clue what it says and they seem to depend on traditions a lot. Traditions can be wrong but the Bible is always right.
“Traditions can be wrong but the Bible is always right”.
You’re right. The Bible is always right.
2 Thes 2:15 “Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle” Paul is saying that we continue in the doctrine which was delivered to us by the mouth and writings of the apostles, through the free good will of God, who comforts us with an invincible hope, and that we also continue in all godliness our whole life long.
2 Thes 3:6 “Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.” Paul is saying that if any refused to labour with quietness, or walk in the tradition or the oral instruction which he had given to them when present (2Th 3:10), and subsequently committed to writing (1Th 4:11, 12), they were to note him with censure, and to separate from his company, yet they were to seek his good by loving admonitions.
1 Corinthians 11:2 “Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you” Ordinances-Greek, “traditions,” that is, apostolic directions given by word of mouth or in writing (1Co 11:23; 15:3; 2Th 2:15). The reference here is mainly to ceremonies: for in 1Co 11:23, as to the Lord’s Supper etc. Traditions of public assemblies, containing three points, that is of the comely apparel of men and women, of the order of the Lord’s supper, and of the right use of spiritual gifts.
