Christians throughout the world celebrate the last Sunday in October as "Reformation Day."  This is in remembrance of how Martin Luther posted his Ninety-five Theses on the door of the CastleChurch in Wittenberg, Germany in 1517.  Luther's actions exposed the Catholic Church as full of false doctrine, superstition, and ignorance.  His main disagreement centered on salvation by grace through faith. 
 
After Luther's courageous acts, the Protestant movement gained popularity.   Luther changed the Sunday worship service to focus on preaching instead of the Eucharist, but he left other Catholic traditions intact.  The "new" Lutheran worship style differed little from the Catholic Mass.  "Luther retained the basic order of the medieval Mass along with the ceremonial aspects of lights, incense and vestments," Maxwell, Outline of Christian Worship, page 77. 
 
Luther talked much about the "priesthood of all believers" but did not allow the reformation to affect the services of worship.  Luther said, "It is not now nor ever has been our intention to abolish the liturgical service of God completely," Luther's works, LII, 20.  Accordingly, the pulpit and not the altar table is the central element in most contemporary churches.  Many similarities still remain between the Catholic Church and most Christian denominations like Episcopal, Lutheran, and Methodist.  Did Luther go far enough?  Was the Reformation the needed resistance of evil and the complete return to righteousness?
 
Sadly, Luther's actions did little to change church worship.  Yes, Luther led a drastically needed reformation of doctrine BUT the Protestant movement has continued to mirror many Catholic traditions.  It's been almost 500 years since the first Reformation Sunday but the church is still stuck in incorrect Catholic practices.  Here are a few examples:
 
 
"Is not every Christian obliged to sanctify Sunday and to abstain on that day from unnecessary servile work? Is not the observance of this law among the most prominent of our sacred duties? But you may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we never sanctify." Cardinal James Gibbons, The Faith of Our Fathers (1917 edition), p. 72-73 (16th Edition, p 111; 88th Edition, p. 89).
 
History shows that Christ-mass is a leftover holiday with symbols of Madonna and child which were borrowed from Egyptian worship of Isis and Horus.  This is in violation of Exodus 20:3.
 
On June 29, 2008 the Vatican Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments banned the sacred name of "Yahweh" from being used in liturgy or music.  The name of "Yahweh" is seldom heard throughout Christianity.  This is in violation of Exodus 3:30.
 
Catholicism and much of the modern church teaches that the Pastor or Minister acts as a mediator for confession, sin, or learning of doctrine.  This is in violation of 1 Timothy 2:5.
 
Luther participated in a reformation that continues until this day.  Many people are laying aside unbiblical practices and searching for the truth.  This movement will continue until the return of the Messiah.  The Savior will make His second coming when the truth faith is restored completely.  He will return when there is a full reformation.  "Repent therefore, and be converted, that your sins may he blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; and He shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto You: Whom the heavens must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began," Acts 3:17-21.
