Your tradition - D, later Syriac in the margin, Saxon, and all the Itala but one, add τῃ μωρᾳ, by your Foolish tradition, your foolish law: - Anglo-Saxon.
John Gill Bible Commentary
Making the word of God of none effect, through your tradition,.... Beza says, in his most ancient copy it is read, "your foolish tradition"; and such it was indeed, that a vow made rashly, and in a passion, or if ever so deliberately entered into, should be more binding upon a man than the law of God; that rather than break this, he should transgress a divine command; and that though he might see his folly, and repent of his sin in making such a wicked vow, he could not go back from it, without the permission of a wise man: should his poor distressed parents come to him for assistance, he was obliged to answer them, that he had bound himself by a vow, that they should receive no advantage from his substance; and should they remonstrate to him the command of God, to honour them and take care of them, and observe that that command is enforced by promises and threatenings; he had this to reply, and was instructed to do it, that it was the sense of the wise men and doctors, and agreeably to the traditions of the elders, to which he ought rather to attend, than to the words of the law, that he should keep and fulfil his vow, whatever command was neglected or broken by it. Which ye have delivered: they received it from their ancestors, and delivered it to their disciples; and it is in this way, that all their traditions were delivered: they say (x), that "Moses received the law (the oral law) at Sinai, "and delivered" it to Joshua; and Joshua to the elders, and the elders to the prophets; and the prophets to the men of the great synagogue; the last of which was Simeon the just; and Antigonus, a man of Socho, received it from him; and Jose ben Joezer, a man of Tzeredah, and Jose ben Jochanan, a man of Jerusalem, received it from Antigonus; and Joshua ben Perachiah (said to be the master of Jesus Christ), and Nitthai the Arbelite, received it from them; and Judah ben Tabai, and Simeon ben Shetach, received it from them; and Shemaiah and Abtalion received it from them; and from them Hillell and Shammai.'' Who were now the heads of the two grand schools of the Jews; these received, and delivered out these traditions to the Scribes and Pharisees, and they to their disciples: and many such like things do ye; meaning, that there were many other traditions besides this now mentioned; whereby, instead of preserving the written law, which, they pretended, these were an hedge unto (y), they, in a great many instances, made it void. (x) Pirke Abot, c. 1. sect. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. (y) Pirke Abot, c. 1. sect. 1.

The Tradition of the Elders
12he is no longer permitted to do anything for his father or mother.13Thus you nullify the word of God by the tradition you have handed down. And you do so in many such matters.”

(Excerpt) the Great Falling Away
By Milton Green3.0K04:31Falling AwayMAT 15:3MRK 7:8MRK 7:13REV 12:17REV 14:12In this sermon, the preacher addresses the issue of the falling away from the faith in the last days. He criticizes the church for prioritizing their traditions over the commandments of God. He refers to this church as a poor harlot-bablin church that glorifies and boasts in worldly achievements. The preacher emphasizes the importance of holding to the testimony of Jesus and following the commandments of God, rather than teaching the opinions of men.
Salvation & Water Baptism 2003
By Danny Bond1.3K54:38SalvationMRK 7:13MRK 16:15In this sermon, the speaker shares a story of a man on roller blades who witnessed a baptism event at the beach. The man was initially just observing, but after hearing the gospel, he decided to get baptized and came to the Lord. Another person at the event had a sign that said "10 years of disobedience ends today," and he too got baptized, symbolizing the death of the old self and the birth of a new life in Christ. The speaker emphasizes the importance of baptism as an outward sign of an inward reality and encourages individuals to follow their heart's desire to be baptized, regardless of their previous experiences or age.
The Law and Faith (Compilation)
By Compilations1.1K09:06CompilationMAT 23:23MRK 7:6MRK 7:13ROM 10:6GAL 1:8GAL 3:13JAS 2:8In this sermon, the preacher emphasizes the importance of love as the purpose of God's commandments. He explains that through embracing Christ and the law of love, believers are renewed and no longer live for themselves but for Christ. The preacher also highlights that the commandments containing ordinances, such as "do not taste, do not touch, do not handle," have no profit against the desires of the flesh. Instead, the law of love, which is the fulfillment of the law, is what truly brings profit. The sermon concludes by cautioning against mere religious practices and legalism, emphasizing the righteousness that comes from faith rather than the law.
Christian Fundamentalism - 1
By Anton Bosch0DEU 5:32ISA 66:2MRK 7:13JHN 8:311CO 2:132TI 3:152PE 1:19REV 3:8REV 22:18Anton Bosch discusses the varying definitions of Christian labels and emphasizes the importance of understanding Christian Fundamentalism according to Professor Malan's comprehensive definition. Christian Fundamentalists strongly adhere to basic Scriptural principles and values, recognizing the authority of the Bible as the literal and inerrant Word of God inspired by the Holy Spirit. They interpret Scripture literally, reject spiritualization, acknowledge spiritual realities, and maintain theological conservatism by interpreting the Bible in its plain meaning without altering its fundamental truths.
The Oral Law (Part 2)
By Robert Wurtz II0EXO 24:7PSA 19:7MRK 7:13JHN 16:131PE 3:15Robert Wurtz II preaches about the dangers of relying on the Oral Law, emphasizing that the covenant the Children of Israel were bound to was the written covenant sealed in blood, not a manual for interpretation created centuries later. The Oral Law, depicted as elevating a man above Moses, distorts the word of God and hinders the Jews from embracing the perfect law that converts the soul. Wurtz urges believers to understand the falsehood of the Oral Law to effectively lead Jews to their Messiah with love and compassion, emphasizing the importance of relying on the Holy Spirit for guidance in these conversations.
Ten Reasons Why I Believe the Bible Is the Word of God
By R.A. Torrey0Authority of ScriptureFaith and DoubtMAT 5:18MRK 7:13LUK 24:27JHN 10:35JHN 14:26JHN 16:13R.A. Torrey presents ten compelling reasons for believing that the Bible is the Word of God, beginning with the authority of Jesus Christ, who affirmed the divine authorship of both the Old and New Testaments. He emphasizes the fulfilled prophecies, the unity of the Bible despite its diverse authorship, and the unmatched moral teachings found within its pages. Torrey also discusses the historical resilience of the Bible against attacks, the character of its believers versus its skeptics, and the transformative power it holds over lives. Ultimately, he concludes that the direct testimony of the Holy Spirit confirms the Bible's divine authority, making it a unique and indispensable guide for believers.
