The Final Word
Ultimately, the bottom-line is that all peoples, regardless of what TRADITIONS they were born into and have been practicing, need to decide if their traditions match and are in harmony with Holy Scripture or not. When they ask this, and if they find the answer to this is "no", then they must decide if they are content to follow man-made teachings, (fooling themselves), or of they will not settle for anything less than The Holy Bible from cover to cover. A perfect example of this is the TRUE definition of what Judaism is. When people are adults and have reasoning ability to question, they should not even allow their parents to dictate to them anything on Religion. Note that even if one finds one’s parents pushing on him or her false traditions, that person should always remain loving and respectful to his or her parents and be a light to them for truth. But all established Religion today has flaws in it! Yet G-d Himself is Perfect and without error! So the mentality of each person ought to be as if he or she is praying and reading The Bible on a deserted desert island away from everyone else! However, this does not mean that we should always set to isolate ourselves from others, even in worship. But this shoud be our mentality to come to learn G-d’s Truths. So when we question established traditions and find that they are incompatable with Scripture, we are to disregard them, (even if others disagree). For example, to date, I am unaware of anyone else on earth who believes in following Jerusalem Time for all Holy Times. Yet in my own personal conviction, I believe that Jerusalem Time for universal Holy Time is Biblical, so the fact that I seem to be the only one to believe this is irrelevant to me in my decision. So follow what you know to be TRUTH from the Bible, no matter how unpopular what you believe is. Ultimately, what other people think is irrelevant. We each have to answer to G-d for what we believe. He Gave us The Holy Scriptures for the purpose of knowing Him and His Will, and this is what we should be following to the best of our G-d-Given ability.
