Church tradition in a nutshell: "Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition. Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men." Christians "draw near with their mouth and honor with their lips" but their hearts are set against God. They worship him in vain by their traditions. Christianity is Phariseeism. -- Nightbulb https://blog.nightbulb.net Flip the night switch
