Hi Roberta. I read your comments about the wedding, and I hope you dont mind, but I thought I would respond to your response. I see that you are worried, the couple didnt take the ‘religious traditions’ seriously. My question for you is. Should we listen/obey traditions at all?? We know , that, as christians, we should follow Jesus as closely as we can, and obey his commands.Did Jesus say we should worship God with traditions? No , he said to ‘worship with spirit and truth’ (John 4:24) It doesnt say anything about traditions. The only time Jesus said anything about traditions. Was when he condemned the religious leaders of the day, for their traditions. So, are traditions, really ‘truth’? By what Jesus said , the answer can only be ‘no’. As Jesus said at John 8:32, ‘Know the truth, and the truth will set yoou free’. Free from what ? Please feel free to email me , if you would like to know , what from……….Peter
