TRADITION !!!!!!!

Mark 7:8-9 "You leave the commandment of God and hold to the tradition of men."   And he said to them, "You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to establish your tradition!" JESUS  was answering the "scribes and Pharisees" about eating with unwashed hands.  The "S&P" were wanting to make a big deal over the disciples not washing their hands "according to tradition".   Scripture did not set this as a guideline!  Man set them up!  TRADITION DID!   The response from JESUS located in Mark 7:6B-7 says  "'This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.".  GOD is not interested in our vain attempts to show our best "Sunday" suit, or how grand our choir at church is, or our One Hour fifteen minutes of choreographed rituals that we go through each Sunday morning!  HE desires a ONE on one relationship with each of us.  For the most part, Modern Day Christians are so caught up in "we've never done things that way" that if GOD HIMSELF directed a person to raise their hands in church, a committee would have to vote their approval!!!! I need to be careful NOT to try and put my GOD in a box!  HE is too BIG for what we can even imagine.  In Matthew 19:26 JESUS says "But JESUS beheld them, and said unto them, "With men this is impossible; but with GOD all things are possible".
