Dr. James White & Catholic Tradition
The following email was sent to Dr. James White of Alpha & Omega Ministries on Tuesday, April 3rd, 2007:
Dr. White,
I commend you on your critique
[.mp3] of the recent Catholic
Answers Live program on Scripture and Tradition. Catholic Tradition
clearly is not sustainable as a divinely inspired source of God's word. But
doesn't that put you in a bit of a bind? Are you not a Sunday keeper who
celebrates a Catholic Tradition every weekend? Where does inspired Scripture
command the abandonment / replacement of the seventh day Sabbath Commandment of
God with the keeping of Sunday?
"... is not every Christian obliged to sanctify Sunday and to abstain on that day from unnecessary servile work? Is not the observance of this law among the most prominent of our sacred duties? But, you may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we never sanctify."

We agree that Catholic Tradition has no divine authority. Catholics have
boldly asserted that Protestants who observe Sunday are squatters on the
Catholic ground of Tradition, which they in principle reject. Are you not
obedient to Catholic Tradition rather than the Ten Commandments, which by YOUR
Sunday tradition you make of no effect [Matt. 15:3]
