Sister, post some pics of that bad boy! I'd like to see how the other half gets to live!

There is no evidence in Scripture that God is against gold, silver, and precious jewels. Matter of fact, the opposite is true. He enthusiatically embraces these things. He simply doesn't want this to be the adornment that distinguishes us as individuals.
I definitely don't want my wife running around without a wedding ring on. I think it's a disgrace for married women to be out and about without a wedding ring on, when this is the accepted cultural way of designating her marital status in our society. When I see a woman with children my first thoughts are that she is a single mother.
I think this teaching against wearing of rings is one of the most ridiculous teachings in Pentecostal circles.

I am in total agreement. I couldn't have stated it better. One of the most annoying issues is seeing UPC women , with children, and a bare hand!
In a culture that has accepted single motherhood, we need to "proclaim" marriage, and a ring is the recognizable symbol!.

Thank God, our culture doesn't believe in a anaconda bone through the nose.
Anyone care to produce the scripture that says a woman must wear a wedding ring to show she is married.

I will agree it's not a spelled out thou shalt not type of thing, but the principle is still there.
I see the hair, pants, etc. thing to be the right principle, but misapplied.

Actually the OT does not merely have God tolerating Jewelry, but promoting it by referring to righteous Israel having jewels or how God wanted to deck Israel with Jewels....it was when Israel was bad that God wanted to take her jewels and that was the same principle of Israel taking off their jewels to get right with God...they also put on sackclothe and ashes. That doesn't mean God hated Jewelry or only tolerated it.

Sister, the only thing nutty about Pensacola is that insane Baptist preacher Peter S. Ruckman ( an the Brownsville Haunted Church). Other than that it's a nice little countryfied town.

I agree that this is most probably the case. What I'm trying to say is that it is unnerving to realize that I WAS THE GUY that knocked over the FIRST DOMINO.

Might I add that if THIS is really true, then we should all live in shacks and take the bus for fear of causing someone else to be tempted with a bad spirit and go buy a more expensive car or house...

Be careful. This is scriptural. You just might turn yourself into an UC . . .

Yes. So sad. And saddening to watch them fall.

Notice James did not once try to apply fault to the person wearing the ring or the clothes? Something is wrong, really wrong when we blame everyone else for our own stinking spirits

Yeah. I guess you kinda had to be there . . .

Thank you! 
Thank you for responding with your position.
I can't help but notice that you've assumed all the partiality of Switzerland. Hard-nosed ambivalence - what a way of life!
