Tradition
The English word tradition means what is a customary practice. The term we see in the Greek text of the Bible is paradosis which shows up a dozen times in the New Testament scriptures[3] meaning "the act of giving up" and "the surrender of cities". In Greek it meant "delivery (of goods, parcels, etc" or from a military view "surrender".)[1] is also translated "ordinances".
In Mark 7[4] we see the Pharisees Making the word of God of none effect through their tradition.[4] By the same verse 13 we could see they had many things they were doing to add to that effect of neutralizing the word of God. We need to know what those traditions were to make sure we are not doing that with our traditions.
In verse 8[4] Jesus accuses them of laying aside the commandment of God replacing them with their tradition of men. In verse 11 we see that was the Corban of the Pharisees which was a system of the welfare state of Judea run through the temple in Jerusalem. That allowed children to often do "no more ought for his father or his mother" as we see in verse 12.[4]
The tradition of social security through the State by FDR does the same as the Corban of the Pharisees. The responsibility of caring for our parents was turned over to the civil state by the New Deal.
There are also traditions that have to do with the doctrines of men that counter the Doctrines of Jesus. Men create new things we are told we must believe in that Jesus never mentions. They impose the concepts on people which is bad enough but they often at the same time cause the people to walk in ways contrary to the Christ and The Way of righteousness.[5]

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