One glaring man made tradition is the use of chlorinated, flouridated tap water for the sacrament, instead of wine made from their own hands.truthseekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08419352868231802092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5522395037956936623.post-62004572275206260232015-11-11T21:39:03.830-08:002015-11-11T21:39:03.830-08:00Nicely done!

How about these? <br /><br />"You must attend all of your meetings (3-hour block, unless you're a fireman, doctor, policeman, etc.) in order to remain in good standing in the Church."<br /><br />"You cannot post a picture of Jesus (or any other graphic) on Church property without receiving prior approval from those in authority (i.e., only "Church-approved" representations of the Savior are allowed, as if THEY know what He REALLY looks like!)."<br /><br />"R-rated movies are evil." (I remember Schindler's List being mentioned in GC once. Of course, how would they know? It was rated R.)<br /><br />Etc. etc.<br /><br />(I'm just having fun.) <br /><br />It's damning to embrace "traditions" and the "commandments of men" as God's word, for it puts SOMEONE ELSE in God's place as our Lord and Law Giver! Even GOOD advice is damning if it keeps us from coming directly to the Source of all Truth.
