In response to Esq-
Jesus made an amazing statement to the leaders of his day.
He said,"You make the word of God to no effect BY YOUR TRADITIONS".
Therefore, there would be an effect by the word of God - (thru people- that is usually how God works) if the lies of tradition weren't in them.
Since faith comes by hearing, if you are hearing falsehoods- those falsehoods have the ability to block faith.
It is apparent in the Bible, that God has chosen the manner of acting on belief prior to seeing the result. We have plenty of input all around us to interfere with that process.
