“It’s called a covenant. Research the ancient Jewish wedding contract. Then perhaps the covenant God has with people.”

Contracts are not wedding vows. Care to make up anything else?

“You claim bridesmaids are pagan? I thought Catholics read all of scripture? You obviously missed Matthew 25.”

Nope. I missed nothing. Matthew 25 says nothing about bridesmaids of the same kind used in Christian weddings. They served a different role in Jewish weddings. Anyone who studies this passage knows this. Apparently you don’t. http://judaism.stackexchange.com/questions/30984/does-a-jewish-wedding-involve-bridesmaids-or-groomsmen

“As for the wedding ring? I’ll just give you a hint. In a Jewish wedding these words are spoken by the groom. “”Behold, thou art consecrated to me with this ring, according to the law of Moses and Israel.””

And you fail again. Although ring exchanges are allowed in Judaism now, the only ring required is the bride’s. Notice, as I said before, weddings rings EXCHANGED. I’m sure that I also just said “wedding rings”. In both cases I’m right. Jews have adopted cultural practices from those they live with. The Jewish practice of a SINGLE wedding ring is from the Talmud in Masechta Kiddushin. Christians don’t follow the Talmud. You fail again.

Oh really? So you would say that a vow isn't binding?

Semantics will get you no where.

I wear no ring.

>>Christians don’t follow the Talmud.<<

I didn't say they did or should. I simply showed that those things you claimed were purely pagan have a base in scripture. Deny all you want but it simply makes you look petty.
