🔥 TRUTH OR TRADITION? 🔥
Brothers and Sisters…
I’m going to say something that may make some uncomfortable…
But truth was never meant to be comfortable.
It was meant to set you apart.
We have been handed down traditions…
celebrated them…
defended them…
even taught them to our children…
But how many of us ever stopped and asked:
“Is this actually rooted in what is written?”
Or…
have we been following what was passed down without question?
Because when you start digging…
you begin to see something:
Not everything called “set apart”
came from Yahuah.
Some of it…
came from mixture.
Let’s talk about it.
Many celebrate what is called “Easter”
and connect it to the resurrection…
But the symbols tied to it?
• Eggs
• Rabbits
• Fertility themes
None of these are found in Scripture.
These are not small details—
they come from systems that existed long before…
systems rooted in seasonal rituals and false worship practices.
And this is where it gets real:
📖 “Learn not the way of the heathen…” — Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 10:2
📖 “Take heed… that you inquire not after their mighty ones, saying, How did these nations serve their mighty ones? even so will I do likewise.” — Debarim (Deuteronomy) 12:30
Yahuah didn’t just warn us about false worship—
He warned us about adopting their ways and attaching His Name to it.
This is not about arguing holidays…
This is about obedience vs tradition.
Because mixture is subtle.
It doesn’t come looking obvious.
It comes dressed in something familiar…
something widely accepted…
something “everyone is doing.”
But wide has never been the standard.
📖 “Narrow is the way… and few there be that find it.” — Mattithyahu (Matthew) 7:14
Brothers and Sisters… hear me clearly:
You can’t walk in truth
and refuse to examine what you’ve been taught.
At some point…
we all have to choose:
👉 Comfort in tradition
or
👉 Alignment with truth
Because following Yahuah was never about blending in…
it was always about being set apart.
This is not about condemnation—
this is about awakening.
Some of us didn’t know…
because we were never taught.
But now that you see…
you can’t unsee.
And once truth is revealed—
you’re responsible for what you do with it.
So I’ll leave you with this:
💭 Are you willing to let go of what feels familiar…
to fully walk in what is true?

Reflecting on my own spiritual journey, I've found it deeply transformative to scrutinize long-held traditions in the light of Scripture. Many of us inherit customs simply because they are familiar or widely practiced, without realizing that some might have origins inconsistent with biblical teachings. For instance, symbols like eggs and rabbits associated with Easter are indeed rooted in ancient seasonal fertility rituals, not in the resurrection narrative itself. What resonated with me profoundly is the reminder from Jeremiah 10:2 and Deuteronomy 12:30 about not following the ways of the heathen or inquiring into their idols. These scriptures highlight the importance of discerning the origins of our practices rather than adopting them uncritically. It’s easy to fall into the comfort of tradition, but true faith invites a narrow path, different from the multitude. In my experience, moving away from inherited traditions required honest examination and sometimes discomfort. Yet, this process set me apart in a way that felt authentic and spiritually fulfilling. The challenge is real—mixture disguises itself as familiar and acceptable. Remaining vigilant and anchored in Scripture helps in distinguishing what truly honors the faith from what merely comforts the familiar. Ultimately, the decision between comfort in tradition and alignment with truth is personal and ongoing. It’s about awakening to a deeper obedience that may not be popular but is fulfilling. This perspective encourages a continual re-evaluation of beliefs and customs to ensure they uphold the faith’s core values rather than dilute them.
TRUTH!!!!!!!
