When asked why his disciples were not participating in an oral tradition of Judaism that had been passed down through the years by various rabbis, Jesus responds by addressing the real issue: sincerity. Whether or not a tradition has value and should be retained and supported, or is harmful and should be discontinued depends upon two questions: (1) Does it conform to the Word of God? {Or is scripture silent on the issue} (2) Is the tradition being adhered to with sincerity of heart? Traditions in alignment with scripture have value, how much depends on us.
