how much do those same teachings help you to discern between what is truth and what is unbiblical?
as a member of the lutheran church, i know plenty about tradition. for me, personally, traditional teachings have given me a firm foundation, but not much more, and still, i've had to discard some of those teachings, as i feel that a lot of church doctrines put limits on God. it has been very beneficial for me to study other doctrines, and to ''chew the hay and spit out the sticks.''
however, it's not the same for us all. i'd like to hear from everyone here- state your particular denomination (or lack thereof), as i am convinced that denominational teachings make a big difference in our opinions on this matter (catholics will most likely exalt tradition, while charismatics will most likely denounce it). for instance, i go to a lutheran church, and i'm a confirmed member, but i consider myself to be non-sectarian/ non-denominational, and i have already stated the reason for that.
