Who has the pure sound doctrine according to you?
Protestants?

The Foundation. The Prophets and the Apostles with Jesus Christ of Nazareth as the Chief Cornerstone. The only way to recognize this " sound doctrine " is through His Holy Spirit. When one reads the Gospel with His lens, one does not add a theological twist to His words. Denominations do not have the purity of His Gospel because they are institutions invented by men who do not do the will of The Father. Blessings

Luther wasn't an instrument of God?

Luther wasn't an instrument of God?

He was not the Foundation. Is this forum restricted to Lutheranism?

Under the umbrella of "Protestantism" there are all kinds of beliefs and practices. Even taking a particular protestant denomination, we cannot say, "That denomination has sound doctrine." Take Baptists, for instance. Each local Baptist church is autonomous. Here in the UK, some local Baptist churches stick firmly to the bible, and some don't. I am sure the same is true of most groupings of churches.

What is what? Protestantism? If that is what you meant, it's a term used to cover all churches and groups of churches that grew out of the Reformation. Sorry if that is not what you meant.

I've read 4 of your answers and you go around in circles. Don't take it as an attack.

I don't take it is an attack. I just apologise if I have been going round in circles. That has never been my intention. Without wishing to derail this thread, can you give me an example of the sort of thing you mean, so that I can avoid doing the same thing in the future? Thanks.

Tell me what church you choose and why that congregation meets the requirements to have the sound doctrine.

Tell me what church you choose and why that congregation meets the requirements to have the sound doctrine.

I would try to choose a church that bases its teachings, preaching, worship, and other activities firmly on God's Word, the bible. That meets the requirements because, as the bible itself says:

“All Scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,” (2Ti 3:16 NKJV)

What is a Protestant?

A member or follower of any of the Western Christian churches that are separate from the Roman Catholic Church and follow the principles of the Reformation.

Very few real Protestants these days (ignore the reformation) .... many if not most clasping the hand of the papacy and their teachings.

People need to seriously study the Word of God for themselves and quit being spoon fed by their churches.

...and make sure that the church they join (the local church - I'm not talking about denominations) is one which bases its preaching, worship, evangelism and activities on the Word of God.

Many can give you many interpretations of "the word of God"

Not to say anything against any Christian Church but as long as God gives his Holy Spirit to those of a church,they are acceptable to God and we should not argue amongst ourselves but accept each other as brethren in Christ Jesus.

You can argue

I expect they can. By the word of God I mean the 66 books of the bible.

In Proverbs 4:2, sound doctrine is to not forsake the Torah.

If “pure sound doctrine” means without error, then according to me none of us has it.

I would have to be very arrogant to think I had perfect theology. I am so limited and God is soooooooo big. Even though He is generous with the Holy Spirit, the bible and creation, our ability to receive and understand is highly flawed.
