Does anyone here think that maybe her witness would've been better recieved had she wore a wedding ring, or do we simply think that this woman was right because of a teaching that she recieved regarding no jewelry whatsoever?????
What a stretch! LOL!

If only our God would have had this kind of foresight & wisdom then He could have instructed us to wear a ring as a sign of our marriage.

But alas... twas not to be.
