Description
Summary:This article contends that, at times, Christians validly practice a principle for which the Pharisees are condemned in Mark 7:8,13 and Matthew 15:3,6. The principle considered is when tradition is regarded as having greater weight than scripture in one's practice, which leads to the setting aside, or even opposition to, an express commandment of God. The paper will focus particularly on Mark 7:10b and Matthew 15:4b as it explores this thesis.
