The Puritans And Wedding Rings.

[Scott Hutchinson]

I have been reading a book by J.I. Packer about The Puritans.
I have read in the book ,that the Puritans opposed the usage of Wedding Rings ,because they felt wedding rings enforced the doctrine ,that marriage was a sacrament.
I thought this was interesting ,also they opposed the use of the sign of the cross in baptism so called which I assume was the affusion method or sprinkling ?
Although the Puritans did not have full -truth they did have some interesting teachings about living a life of faith.
The Puritans seemed to have been opposed to corruption in The Church OF England.

I'll double check my sources, but I believe the puritans refused to use the KJV. They preferred either the Bishop's Bible or the Geneva Bible.

That sounds correct.

I think Epley and Old Paths should stop celebrating Thanksgiving since the puritans used a Bible that wasn't KJV authorized.

I'd never had lobster but I do eat Cat-Fish.

I try to avoid scavenger fish. To me it's like eating at the chineese restaraunt next to the pet store. There is at least a little element of concern about what's in the food.

Those other two Bibles did come prior to the KJV and were not commissioned by King James as a Bible that was to be read out loud in churches.

We did pizza one year for Christmas... the joys of living in California. It was 72 degrees that day.
