Sherri, I ask that you reread my post about Lucifer and his fall. I was making a remark about another poster's statement. That idea was not mine, but I can see how that you might have gotten confused. I was merely mentioning that I would like to hear how a person would use him to preach against jewelry, not saying that I embraced that myself, especially as I feel that there are many other places to draw from.

That being said, I am still against jewelry. By the way, that ring on the prodigal's hand was not a mere decoration, but was a signant ring showing that he could do business in his father's name. It goes to show that a backslider may pray back through and be restored to the power of God.

What does a wedding ring signify?

I agree, but it's still jewelry. I could say that my diamond dinner ring is a sign to show that I've been married thirty years. My weddding ring is a sign that I'm married. My Africa necklace pendant is a sign that I love missions. It goes on and on.........the logic breaks down somewhere.

Sorry, I'm not meaning to argue. This kind of stuff just makes me crazy. Just say it's traditions, and I'm fine with that. I have my own.

I wanted to stand up and ask him: "Dude, did you just not realize what happened BEFORE you stepped on the platform, or were you too busy with other things on your mind?"

I wasn't impressed after that...

Found this thread regarding Jeffers. Some of the posts seem to reveal the same sentiments I have...

I contemplated posting a new thread, but I did a quick search and found this one.

I'm very familiar with Dr. Jeffers. The last time I saw him, was in November of last year he did a Mens Conference in Tulare, CA.

This video will bless you. Dr. Jeffers preached this in 2007 at BOTT in Alexandria, LA.

"Now, you talkin' about a strange situation, the gentleman I'm bringing to you now, Dr. Jeffers, I'd never heard him preach. That's a scary thought, isn't it?"

Wow. As much respect as I have for Bro. Mangun, I'm rather shocked that even he would have someone with the amount of controversy behind him as stated just in this thread come and "preach" for his congregation, not to mention the fact that he's never heard him preach before.

I mean, that's what I heard him say. What more evidence is needed to be skeptical?
