They're taught to say this and they repeat it incessantly, the old "you follow a man" statement. Well, the fact is they follow a woman, a false prophet named Ellen G. White. And do we follow traditions? Certainly we do -- 2 Thessalonians 2:15. Scripturally theses traditions are the orally given Word of God. That's another dagger to them as they place the writings of EGW above Scripture. Scripture must and does come under her lens of interpretation, writings that are contrary to and outside of Scripture. Yes, they "follow a woman."
Like I said to your friend, I follow no man, woman or church only the Word of God. You say you follow the traditions of God's Word (2Thess 2:15) but there is no scripture in the Word of God that says God's 7th Day Sabbath commandment has been replaced with Sunday worship. This is a teaching of man over the Word of God making the commandments of God of none effect (Matt 15:3; 7-11). If we knowingly break God's Law we are guilty before God of sin because sin is the transgression of God's Law (1John 3:4) and without repentance for sin are in danger of the Judgement.
If you followed the traditions of God's Word like you say, Jesus would be working His will in you and as you have faith in His Word you would be walking in the Spirit and through God's power in your life be fulfilling the righteousness of His Law being made free from sin (Rom 8:4; Heb 8:10-12). However, you break God's Law to follow the teachings and traditions of man over the Word of God. Sunday worship is a man made tradition that you follow over the Word of God making the commandment of God of none effect (Matt 15:3). God's Word says...
1John 2:3-4
And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keeps not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
Isa 55:6-7,
Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
God bless
