How have the traditions of man affected the Church?

Dennis Gunderson explains in this video that one of the primary results of the Protestant Reformation was the forsaking of many traditions that been encrusted onto the Church by the Roman Catholic Church. During the Reformation, many of those traditions were cast off and replaced with sound, biblical thinking. 

Although the Reformation took place 500 years ago, we need to continue to be faithful to not let the traditions of man infect our worship, doctrine, and evangelism. Today, there are still so many different areas where the traditions of man have replaced Scripture and continue to do so.    

Colossians 2:8 (NKJV) – “Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.”

Well, one of the primary results of the Protestant Reformation was a forsaking of multitudes of traditions that had been encrusted onto the Church by the Roman Catholic Church over a period of many centuries, at least a number of those things were cast off and replaced by sounder biblical thinking. So we need to continue to be faithful to keeping away from letting men's traditions infect and infest our worship, our doctrine, our evangelism, our view of the proclamation of the word, even our view of church leadership. There were so many realms in which traditions had replaced the scriptures.
