Unlearning Tradition, Relearning Scripture

An online dictionary defines tradition as the passing of customs or beliefs from one generation to the next. This site aims to address or unlearn traditions or theology that claim divine authority but are not supported by Scripture. Paul, the apostle of Jesus Christ, did endorse traditions. He wrote in 2 Thessalonians 2:15, “So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by our spoken word or by our letter.” The traditions Paul endorsed are those with apostolic authority, taught in the Scriptures. In another letter, Paul warned: “I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them (Romans 16:17).” This site is not against traditions related to Scripture. Our aim is to correct traditions that are not explicitly supported by biblical teachings or clearly backed by the Bible. 

The Bible is a unity; both the Old and New Testaments are coherent. The Old Testament declares, and the New Testament affirms, its fulfillment. Jesus told His disciples: “These are My Words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms must be fulfilled (Luke 24:44).”

Our goal is to be consistent with the truthful teachings of Scripture, not to create conflict. The Old and New Testaments complement each other, serving as mutual commentary. Only then can we be true to God’s Word. Our mission is to enable you to read and teach the Bible confidently and accurately.
