I changed the answers to remove the real one on the Mordecai/Esther question. This way it will be more apparent whether people have been fooled by the tradition that says that Mordecai was Esther’s uncle.

It reminds me how easy it is to believe the tradition that said that Eve lied before she ate the forbidden fruit. How many people have been deceived by a prejudice against women without even understanding that deception? I just praise God that so many men that I have shared the “Eve lied” tradition with and then showed how that tradition is faulty, have see the faulty tradition fall from testing it with the Scriptures. Tradition must be tested and what holds to Scripture can be kept. But faulty tradition should have its place in the spiritual garbage can where it belongs.
