"Paul illustrated what tradition is: “For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures. . . . Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed” (1 Cor. 15:3,11). The apostle praised those who followed Tradition: “I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I have delivered them to you” (1 Cor. 11:2).
Maybe if you weren't so Catholic, you'd actually read your Bible and know these things.
bwahahahahaha!
I bet you'd like to ignore the part of your Bible that talks about tradition.
You're just going to pretend it isn't there, or what?"
The word in 1 Corinthians 11:2 translated as traditions is the Greek word παράδοσις (paradosis) which means in this context-
a giving over which is done by word of mouth or in writing, i.e. tradition by instruction, narrative, precept, etc.
*objectively, that which is delivered, the substance of a teaching*
*of the body of precepts, esp. ritual, which in the opinion of the later Jews were orally delivered by Moses and orally transmitted in unbroken succession to subsequent generations, which precepts, both illustrating and expanding the written law, as they did were to be obeyed with equal reverence*
If you eat bacon or go to church on Sunday, you're not sticking with the traditions Paul's referring to. Your Catholic.com article even mentions the people in the crowd were Jews at a Jewish synagogue, and it still goes over your head exactly what that means.
I avoid pork and shellfish due to my studies of actual Biblical traditions as opposed to Roman Catholic traditions. The Catechism has nothing to say about that. You're accusing me of what you yourself are doing. You wouldn't even know 1 Corinthians existed if it wasn't for that Catholic.com article if you're like 99% of Catholics I knew growing up.
Someone wasn't properly Catechized or you're lying...and now you try to scandalize me? If you were Catholic, you would know how important Tradition is to the Catholic faith.
So I just told you I was raised Catholic, and rejected Catholicism after actually reading my Bible.
How does choosing the Word of God over Catholic tradition equate to not knowing how important tradition is to the Catholic faith? In fact, one's rejection of Catholicism naturally involves choosing the truth over tradition.
How exactly am I scandalizing you by disagreeing with you? Did I call you a Reddit-tier logician?
And as far as your threat there will be hell to pay, Yahweh is a loving God.
Romans 8:15
For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

The Bible cannot exist apart from the Catholic Church. In its origins and its formulation, in the truths it contains, in its careful preservation over the centuries and in the prayerful study and elucidation of its mysteries, Scripture is inseparable from Catholicism.

You didn't provide a single credible counter argument.

So you DO follow tradition? So which is it? You follow tradition or you don't?
Uh no, he was not talking about food laws.
