Matthew 15:2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.

Exactly what are the traditions of the Elders?

Where do you go to find out?

Why not go to the source?

Why not let knowledgeable writers explain exactly what are "The Traditions of the Elders?"

The linked website will soon have a new article titled "Traditions of the Elders" containing quotes from books and articles that were written for the purpose of outlining what is meant by the Traditions of the Elders.

Each quote will tell what is the titled of article or book and the author of each quote that is quoted.

It is left up to the reader to judged whether or not the Biblical commandments actually command the observance of the Traditions of the Elders keeping in remembrance that Yahshua said:

Matthew 15:3 But he (Yahshua) answered and said unto them, Why do you also transgress the commandment of Elohim by your tradition?

Mark 7:5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not your disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?
Mark 7:6 He answered and said unto them, Well has Isaiah prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
Mark 7:7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Mark 7:8 For laying aside the commandment of Elohim, you hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things you do.
Mark 7:9 And he said unto them, Full well you reject the commandment of Elohim, that you may keep your own tradition.
Mark 7:10 For Moses said, Honor your father and thy mother; and, Whoso curses father or mother, let him die the death:
Mark 7:11 But you say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever you might be profited by me; he shall be free.
Mark 7:12 And you suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;
Mark 7:13 Making the word of Elohim of none effect through your tradition, which you have delivered: and many such like things do you.

and many such like things do you. - exactly what are some of the "many such like things do you," some of those such like things are contained in the article at:

Statistical Tracking is the ability to record and analyze the use of a particular website and it's contents.

On this website there are three posts that link to another website on which are posted three Articles.

These links were provided in order to not use the band width of this website due to the size of the articles and allow for the analyzing of how effective is the posting of articles for viewing.

It also provided the opportunity to analyze whether or not the articles are actually viewed and read.

On this website we are constantly monitored by special programs that record new postings and they record the key words by which the browser programs find information on the web, as such it is hard to separate actual new visits of individuals from the visits by the browser programs.

The site on which the linked articles are located allowed for the setting up of a site meter that records each visit and whether or not the visit resulted from a search by the browser program or by an individual, how long was the visit and how many pages were viewed and which articles were viewed.

While the yahsaves website shows:

64 -- visits to :WHICH BIBLICAL FESTIVAL CALENDAR DO YOU CHOOSE TO FOLLOW? posted 04/17/09
78 -- visits to: WHERE ON EARTH IS THE PLACE OF SAFETY?........ posted 06/04/09
190 - visits to: Exactly what are the traditions of the Elders?........posted 06/08/09

The yahsword blog site shows:
4 -- visits to:WHICH BIBLICAL FESTIVAL CALENDAR DO YOU CHOOSE TO FOLLOW?
1 -- visit to:WHERE ON EARTH IS THE PLACE OF SAFETY?........
2 -- visits to: Exactly what are the traditions of the Elders?........

I find that this is totally contradictory to what was multiple requests I received for new articles to be written and posted on the web.

From this I would have to surmise that the search for truth is not as strong as it was in the past. That the individual search for Biblical Understanding for some is just a hobby.

The reason for this conclusion is another statistic, from 04/17/09 to 07/02/09 out of 20 total visits only 5 visitors actually looked at the linked articles

15 of those visits were for 6seconds or less.

It does tell me that raw numbers do not tell the full story. Also just because our website receives a visit does not translate into the visitor actually read and internalized any materials during said visit.

Error and curiosity also contribute to the number of visits.

So don't assume that if a website has a high number of visits it must be reaching a large number of people.
