What is "Tradition" in the Paul's iggerot?

1 Corinthians 11:2 - "Now I praise you because you remember me in everything, and hold firmly to the traditions, just as I delivered them to you."

2 Thessalonians 2:15 - "So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word of mouth or by letter from us."

2 Thessalonians 3:6 - "Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep aloof from every brother who leads an unruly life and not according to the tradition which you received from us."

Is it Pharisaic tradition (since Paul is a Pharisee - Philippians 3:5, Acts 23:6)?

Above are verses for the (human) tradition.

Below are verses against the (human) tradition:

Colossians 2:8 - "See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ."

Mark 7:8,9 - "Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men. He was also saying to them, You nicely set aside the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition."

Matthew 15:3-6 - "And He answered and said to them, 'And why do you yourselves transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? For God said, Honor your father and mother, and, He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death. But you say, Whoever shall say to his father or mother, Anything of mine you might have been helped by has been given to God, he is not to honor his father or his mother. And thus you invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition."

Since your OP is "What is "Tradition" in the Paul's iggerot?" I suspect you can only use his writings on the matter to determine how he saw it.

Your second post includes only one quote of Pauls, the others of Yeshua.

Are you quite sure it is Pharisaic tradition (minus the objectionable tradition since it nullifies the Torah commandments)?

Some will say that Paul taught in the Pharisaic tradition, however even he himself gave commandments to follow that didn't come from them or from G-d as he says so himself.

I think some of his teachings were based on what he was taught but I think also he started adding in his own beliefs and 'revelations' which is what causes such a disjoint to reading his writings because you can't put them all in one box with one label.
