I guess my verses when over your head and you didn't even answer my question. There is either a contradiction OR there is 2 types of traditions:NetDoc said:Victor,
I have no problems with "traditions", and in fact I have pointed out that no one should "pass judgement" on these kind of things.
However, one should NOT teach tradition as being a commandment of God. Or do you disagree with my Lord on this?
1. "traditions of men"
2. Oral Tradition from God
Let's certainly disagree. But since you seem to at least respect the Aramaic. How about you take a look at the Aramaic.NetDoc said:As for your handling of Jesus' response to Peter's confession, I disagree with your analysis of the event. The petra (pebble) was Peter, but the ROCK was his confession: that Jesus is the Christ. Rely on the former ONLY AS it reflects the latter!
NetDoc said:But in reality, the NT is filled with churches doing things wrong and for all the wrong reasons. It is also full of references to apostles screwing up as well. Only Jesus is perfect: the Apostles tell us this.
And how is this relevant to the topic? I'm not arguing perfection.
