Biblical proof of being the church versus playing church with men’s traditions and customs.

James 1:27
Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

How could and tradition or custom beat pure and undefiled religion?

Matthew 22:37-40
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. [38] This is the first and great commandment. [39] And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. [40] On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

If we love God with all our heart, soul and mind and love our neighbor as self, what does it matter if we have the same tradition and custom or not?

1 Thes. 5:21 (KJV)
Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

More proof? Who could possibly need it? Besides, these passages were already considered.

That the children of the Kingdom would engage in the works of the Kingdom - who but a Kool-Aid drinker would question that? Surely none of them would wander into this place.

And say, didn't a couple of people just 'complain' about this topic going "round and round?" I'm just gonna follow their advice and close it up for now.

Let's move on to some other issues and perhaps return later. Onward and upward.
