Tradition and Scripture

The Continuing Church of God is pleased to announce a sermon posted at its ContinuingCOG channel:


1:20:04

Tradition and Scripture

Do any who profess Christ claim that the Bible is equal to tradition?  What does the Bible teach about tradition?  Do traditions affect people in many areas?  What did Jesus, John, Paul, and Peter actually teach about tradition and scripture?  How has the Church of God been affected by tradition?  When is tradition appropriate?  When is it not appropriate?

A written article is titled: Tradition and Scripture: From the Bible and Church Writings.

This was produced during the Feast of Tabernacles in 2014.  Here is a link to the sermon: Tradition and Scripture.

The Philadelphia Church Era
was predominant circa 1933 A.D. to 1986 A.D. The old Radio Church of God and old Worldwide Church of God, now the remnant of that era is basically the most faithful in the Church of God, like who hold to the beliefs and practices of the Continuing Church of God.
The Laodicean Church Era has been predominant circa 1986 A.D. to present. The Laodiceans are non-Philadelphians who mainly descended from the old WCG or its offshoots.  They do not properly understand the work or biblical prophecies and will face the Great Tribulation if they do not repent.
