Discovering Biblical Truths and Rejecting Traditions that are not based on Scripture

Unlearning Tradition, Relearning Scripture

Tradition is commonly defined as the passing down of customs or beliefs from one generation to another. This site seeks to challenge or unlearn traditions and theological claims that assert divine authority yet lack support from Scripture.

The apostle Paul acknowledged certain traditions. In 2 Thessalonians 2:15, he wrote: “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.” These are traditions with apostolic authority, firmly rooted in Scripture.

Paul also issued a warning in Romans 16:17: “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.”

Therefore, this site does not oppose traditions aligned with Scripture. Instead, it aims to correct those that lack clear biblical support or are not explicitly grounded in God’s Word.

The Bible presents a unified message, with the Old and New Testaments forming a coherent whole. The Old Testament proclaims truths that the New Testament confirms through their fulfillment. As Jesus declares to His disciples, “These are My words which 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 commitment is to uphold the truthful teachings of Scripture, not creating conflict. We recognize that the Old and New Testaments work together, each illuminating the other as mutual commentary. By embracing this harmony, we remain faithful to God’s Word. Our purpose is to equip you to read and teach the Bible with confidence and clarity.

Disclaimer: We do not dismiss the use of extra-biblical resources like lexicons, Bible dictionaries, or encyclopedias – especially in aid of understanding historical contexts or relevance.
