Luke 5
As I have served, I have found that in the Church, many are steep in tradition. Sometimes so steep in tradition that many follow traditions rather than the current inspired instructions found in the handbooks of instruction.
Because of scribes and Pharisees, the Jews had fallen into the trap of traditions over truth thus Jesus -
"...spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old.
37 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.
38 But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.
39 No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better." (New Testament | Luke 5:36 - 39)
Thus when instructed by priesthood leaders and guided by the Holy Ghost, we should prepare ourselves to abandon old traditions and have a "new beginning".
