Tradition:
"a handing down or on" (akin to paradidomi, "to hand over, deliver"), denotes "a tradition," and hence, by metonymy,
(a) "the teachings of the rabbis," interpretations of the Law, which was thereby made void in practice, Mat 15:2, 3, 6; Mar 7:3, 5, 8, 9, 13; Gal 1:14; Col 2:8;
(b) of "apostolic teaching," 1Cr 11:2, RV, "traditions" (AV, "ordinances"), of instructions concerning the gatherings of believers (instructions of wider scope than ordinances in the limited sense); in 2Th 2:15, of Christian doctrine in general, where the Apostle's use of the word constitutes a denial that what he preached originated with himself, and a claim for its Divine authority (cp. paralambano, "to receive," 1Cr 11:23; 15:3); in 2Th 3:6, it is used of instructions concerning everyday conduct.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
