Traditions

"Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread."
He answered and said to them, "Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?
Matthew 15: 2-3


Traditions of some people and the commandments
 of God 
In life , many people hate to be told the truths.
Imagine if the pharisees and scribes 
were the racists , tribalism folks , 
antagonists , xenophobic people of these days? 
We all know that all the people are not tribalists , 
racists , xenophobic,  antagonists. 
If some relatives or neighbours , or colleagues
 are happy to be xenophobic, racists, 
tribalists and antagonists.
Who are we to feel guilty
when the truth is spoken about their wrong deeds
among some good folks? 
Remember , not every white people are  racists 
(but  some racism policies continue causing 
more dialemas in some countries ) 
Not every black or white people  are  tribalists. 
Not all people are criminals. 
I know that true Christians
are not racists or tribalism folks. 
False Christians don't care about the faith 
of Christ Jesus. 
Eating without washing the hands
doesn't defile a person in the eyes of God 
But hating some people provocks the  Lord. 
It is a sin to apply some cultural ( policies) 
principales which are  against the Will of Jehovah God.
