Re: Wedding rings
I guess this doesn't count.....
Lu 15:22* But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
And I know about the theory that it was the ring of authority, but no where in this scripture does it say anything about "ring of authority." It says no more than just "RING"!
And what about that "BEST ROBE"! Sounds a little overdressed according to what some have posted here.

The theroy makes sense because in the parable the king was restoring him to royalty after he walked away from it.

Do we base Doctrine on theory or on scripture?

Have you ever heard of "rightly dividing?"
Some of the stupidity that has been added to scripture is horrendous. One of the narrow minded preachers from my past preached you couldn't wear red and the women had to wear seam hose! And that was just the start of many, many non-Biblical doctrines produced by human minds.

Sorry you had a bad expierence with preachers that did not explain stuff. I have always taught, and been taught, that there is some things we take a stand against cause "God said", some stuff we have principle in the bible to teach for or against it and some things are just house rules or keeping ourselves seperated from the world.
