Surprise, surprise!
The feeling some people get when their tradition is challenged is not a warning to beware, it is fear of change. It is my opinion that the uncomfortable feeling some people get when they hear of a difference of opinion they believe is God warning them to stay away from "bad association", but it isn't. It is a natural, evolved human trait. So, by obeying it, they make nature their master and their belly (where fear is) their lord. Philippians 3:19 And I think it is Christian tradition to believe "their god is their belly" means greed. I think it might mean fear. Proverbs 29:25 A man's fear sets a snare.
I read about people's fear of change in a book I picked up while away last weekend. The Ordeal of Change by Eric Hoffer Harper & Row 1052, 1963

Hoffer's opinion is that change causes a revolution and not the other way around.
