paladinan:  ">>look at your left hand. Do you have a wedding ring there?<<"

CynicalBear:  "NO, nor would I be using it in my service to God if I did."

"Deuteronomy 12:30 and after they have been destroyed before you, be careful not to be ensnared by inquiring about their gods, saying, "How do these nations serve their gods? We will do the same." 31 Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God"

=============================================================

Does the Holy Spirit, using that "Sola Scriptura", guide certain Protestants, like Calvinist Pastor R. C. Sproul, Evangelist Rev. Billy Graham, Preacher Jimmy Swaggart, Preacher John Ankerberg, Preacher John Hagee, The Late Pastor Jerry Falwell , Preacher Kenneth Copeland, and Pastor Rick Warren, to one understanding of the meaning of the Holy Scriptures in regards to the rightness or wrongness of wearing a "pagan-inspired" wedding ring, and you, CynicalBear to a contradictory, completely incompatible conclusion, in your own personal understanding of the Holy Scriptures regarding that same issue?

In other words, does the Holy Spirit give different Protestants opposite, contradictory, and completely incompatible understandings of the Holy Scriptures, and of what is right and what is wrong, and various other teachings?

(CynicalBear, please take special note of all these "pagan-inspired" wedding rings these men (and this lady) are wearing, all being worn in direct contradiction to what you say the Holy Spirit taught you personally about that matter from your own study of the Holy Scriptures. Maybe these guys didn't study the Scriptures as much (or as effectively) as you did, or maybe they just didn't ask the Holy Spirit to guide their Scripture studies properly, like you did, huh?)

(The Holy Spirit does not teach contradictory, incompatible truths/untruths like that. Human beings, using "Sola Scriptura" and their own private biblical interpretations, do.)

Goodnight to all, and may God bless all of us with a better understanding of His Holy Will.

Is the best argument against sola Scriptura you have to pick on people for wearing wedding rings?

Because that’s really pretty lame. What a stretch.

Sinless Mary??

 

 

Luke 2:22-24

 

When the time came for the purification rites required by the Law of Moses, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord  (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, “Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord”),  and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord: “a pair of doves or two young pigeons.”

 

Leviticus 12:7-8

 

Then he shall offer it before the LORD and make atonement for her, and she shall be cleansed from the flow of her blood. This is the law for her who bears a child, whether a male or a female.
'But if she cannot afford a lamb, then she shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, the one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she will be clean.'"

>>CynicalBear, please take special note of all these "pagan-inspired" wedding rings these men<<

As soon as you explain to me how those are used in the worship if God.

their own private biblical interpretations, do.)

You do realize that every Sunday your priest gives his own personal interpretation of the scriptures ??
