You know this little debate re parables will end, there will be a very clear answer. The personal price for not correctly understanding these scriptural admonishments is high. There will be a rapture, it will be quick and sudden. The door will be shut and there will be those pounding on the door trying to get in but they will be too late. THey will be too late because they did not heed the groom's instructions. They did not heed the groom's instructions because they listened to smooth talkers that removed the sting of the conscience that the Holy Spirit tried to warn with.
 
You have a wedding ring? No, it is an engagement band. The wedding ring is placed at the wedding.
