Truth Over Tradition
by Truth Carriers
Yeah… It's time we talk facts. No more echoes of tradition, no more hand-me-down beliefs. Just truth, straight from the pages. Let's go… People say when you die, you're in Heaven the same night, But the Scriptures say the dead sleep, no conscious sight. Ecclesiastes nine-five, the dead don't know a thing, No floating spirits in the sky, no angels on wings. Yahushua called Lazarus from a four-day grave, If he'd been chillin' in Heaven, why'd He bother to save? John eleven's clear, Lazarus was asleep, No tales of Heaven seen, no secrets to keep. We await the trump of Yah, the dead rise incorruptible, Not drifting 'round as ghosts, the Word's undeniable. Ain't no instant trip upstairs when your breath leaves, The righteous rest 'til the Son of Man retrieves. Truth over tradition, break away from superstition, Seek the Word with precision, fight religious division. What they told you ain't the vision, let's make the correction, Scripture over deception, that's the only direction! They say souls can't perish, but the prophets disagree, Ezekiel eighteen-twenty says "the soul that sins shall cease to be." Ain't no torch of Hell flames burnin' folks for all time, Death's the punishment, not eternal fiery crime. Romans six, twenty-three, the wages of sin is death, Eternal life's a gift, not automatic breath. If souls are immortal, why'd Messiah have to die? He conquered death itself, that's the reason why. No endless pain in flames while folks scream and plead, Malachi says the wicked's ashes beneath the righteous' feet. The lake of fire consumes, brings evil to an end, Not a torture chamber where pain will never suspend. Truth over tradition, break away from superstition, Seek the Word with precision, fight religious division. What they told you ain't the vision, let's make the correction, Scripture over deception, that's the only direction! They preach the Law's abolished, say it's nailed to a tree, But Messiah said in Matthew five, it stands eternally. He kept the Sabbath holy, the seventh day remained, No verse that changed it to Sunday's claim. Grace don't mean we sin like freedom with no guard, Titus two, twelve says live righteous, fightin' hard. The Law defines sin, it ain't abolished or gone, It's the mirror showin' us what we're doin' wrong. Romans seven calls the Law holy, righteous, and good, No contradiction in Yah's plan, misunderstood. Grace saves us from the penalty, not the definition, Don't twist salvation into lawless permission. Peter's vision in Acts, misread and misapplied, They say "all meats clean," but context's been denied. Yah showed him people, not animals to consume, Gentiles cleansed, welcomed in, that's the upper room. Leviticus eleven still defines the clean from the vile, Swine and shrimp off the menu, it ain't Yah's style. Messiah ate clean, no bacon on His plate, Why abandon Yah's wisdom that He said was great? So many voices preachin' things the Word don't say, Traditions blind the people, leadin' hearts astray. Truth's eternal, can't be changed by councils of men, We gotta read for ourselves, go back and read again. They preach hellfire eternal, souls screamin' without end, But Yah's justice is righteous, mercy and truth blend. The wicked are destroyed, not tortured in pain, Forever means result, not an endless flame. Psalm thirty-seven says the wicked vanish away, Malachi says they're ashes at the end of the day. A loving Father don't roast souls forever in despair, That doctrine's manmade, truth's written clear. So search the Scriptures daily, see if these things be so, Acts seventeen-eleven tells us how to grow. Traditions fade like shadows, truth forever stands, Put your faith in Yah's Word, not in doctrines of man. From life to death, from Law to grace, Let the Word light up your path, set your pace. Don't fear the truth, let it break every chain, Seek Yahushua's wisdom, let Him reign! Truth over tradition, break away from superstition, Seek the Word with precision, fight religious division. What they told you ain't the vision, let's make the correction, Scripture over deception, that's the only direction!
