I don't have a concordance.

2 Peter 2:16 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.

I don't know if you have a man's voice, but if you want to take it that this means you should act like a dumb ass, I guess solo scriptura allows you to do so.

[Titanites]

The true church never used or co-opted any pagan rituals such as making a mark of Shiva on the forehead.

Who said anything about a mark of Shiva?

[Titanites]

Jeremiah 10:2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen

I see you use notations for chapter and verse. Where does does the Bible tell you to divide scripture into chapter and verse?

I think it would depend on what significance that the ritual has. If someone believes that kneeling before their front door on glass three times a day will give them more grace from God (ridiculous example, I know) we have a right to say, biblical, that is wrong. Grace is a free gift of God, not merited -else, not grace.

As to Romans 14, the context is not judging people weak in faith who have certain practices. We don't want to be a stumbling block to someone's growth. But if their belief is clearly unscriptural and is leading them in the wrong direction, those who are stronger have the obligation to point the error out and try to lead the person back into the right path.

You do know that Baptists use wedding rings?

Where does does the Bible tell you to divide scripture into chapter and verse?

2 Timothy 2:15  
Study to shew thyself approved unto God,
a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of truth.

I'm not as well versed as all of you Romanist's, (I don't have a magistrium to tell me what to think and believe) but at least in my church we frown on this ignorant type of language. Full Court must really be hitting some nerves.
