Protestants claim to base their doctrines on the Bible. ‘Sola Scriptura’ (Latin for ‘Bible Alone’) was the official rallying cry of the Martin Luther’s Reformation movement. Yet, Roman Catholics and others have noted that Protestants have many practices, such as Sunday, oaths, and baptismal matters, that were adopted out of tradition. Even Harvard Protestant scholar Harold Brown wrote that Lutherans learned “the usefulness of tradition” when encountering doctrines based upon the appeal to the Bible alone. Does the Continuing Church of God or Protestantism better abide by ‘sola scriptura’? What about Saturday, Sunday, Holy Days, and Holidays? What did Martin Luther King, Jr. teach about Mithraism, Sunday, Christmas, and other doctrines. Does truth in worship matter? Can the truth be known? Did Paul write praises of imitating the Churches of God that were in Judea? What were some of their practices? What about unclean meats? Are Christians to do what Jesus said? What have Chris and Kerry Shock taught about the importance of keeping the Sabbath? Do Protestant scholars teach that both Jews and Gentiles kept the Sabbath? What about in the Celtic regions such as the British Isles (including Ireland)? Did Polycarp of Smyrna and Theophilus of Antioch keep the Sabbath? Are there Protestant mistranslations of Hebrews 4:9, Colossians 2:16-17, and Galatians 4:8-10 that have confused Protestants?
