No its not, it simply means we have misplace[b]d[/b] priorities, we honour and sees religious leaders as a super-being hence we're forced to do their will not because we want to but because we fear that the outcome of not doing it will be.

Accepted!
What about many hundreds who were brought up to accept anything said by a Pastor/Imam.

There are some pple whom their parent can't even decide for them not untill a prophet is seen and so keen that they can't live their lives even as an adult except a prophet/imam is seen!

your parent is your earthly god therefore you must listen to them before taking a marital decision because they knew much secret about your life than your so-called prophet. your parent know your strenght and weakness than anybody else so is better to involve them and listen to the in order to avoid future problem.
Re: Marrying Without One's Parent Consent - Is It Ideal ? by Nobody: 7:27pm On Sep 16, 2012
It's not ideal not to involve your parents. Even if they are going to reject your proposal, you still just have to let them know.

And, have you also prayed about it? What is God laying in your heart to do? Sometimes, we need to be certain of God's leading ourselves and not be enslaved. I'm sorry to say this, however it's really so pathetic that we sometimes exalt the words of a Prophet more than the written
Word of God -The Bible!

Remember the Bible says that the Spirit of the Prophet is subject to the Prophet...maybe you should request the Prophet to pray against the purported reason why you should not involve your parent -delay in child bearing. I'm certain that God can move this mountain, too. smiley

[b][size=16pt]The only man of God I know and I trust his Prophesy, is Prophet T B Joshua.

He not only prophesy into your life but, has the Anointing that breaks the yoke in your life and resolves all the issues including members of you family. To me that's a true Prophet of God - He says it and there you have the complete package - Healing, Deliverance and Restoration plus abundance Blessing! What else, do you need?

Therefore, until another Prophet with greater Anointing than that of Prophet T B Joshua's powerful Anointing emerges then, I will begin to listen to those stories about modern day Prophets - until then, chew on this to realise what the Scripture taught us on how to know a true prophet of God.

In Deuteronomy it says, You may say to yourselves, "How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the Lord?" "If what a Prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true, that is a message the Lord has not spoken. That Prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him." (Deuteronomy Chpt. 18 v.21 - 22. NIV)

As you can see, that's the standard with which to measure them. I have had so many Prophesy from men that claimed they are Prophets that never manifested therefore, the one I know is the one I trust.

No it isn't. It's always better to have your parent's blessings in that sort of thing.

Re: Marrying Without One's Parent Consent - Is It Ideal ? by Nobody: 7:49pm On Sep 16, 2012
The only prophet i know and trust is Jesus Christ! Any other prophet that says anything to me must be supported by God's word or message to me. What did the bible say about "honor your father and your mother so that your days will be long". The only commandment with a promise.
If God also confirm what the prophet said to you then God will surely change your parents heart towards you.
The blessing of God does not add sorrow to it.

Opoki:
@BOLDED: You sounded so harsh, remember that this is Africa where we see our religious leaders as been closer to God and hence we always want to adhere to their direction so no need to abuse or use derogatory word(s).
Peace

What is harsh about the truth? What has PROPHET to do with Africa? The idea "supposedly" comes from the Bible but the truth is IT DOES NOT. Religious leaders are seen as closer to God? Is that even Biblical for crying out loud?? shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked People have bibles to read and learn truths for themselves, they refuse to do just that and you tell me it is harsh of me to tell them the truth? Since when did being African become synonymous to being STEWPID?

One can only read through so much of the STEWPIDITY without loosing it . . . . sad sad sad sad sad sad sad

Hmmm. It's odd.

But if the tory was true, the guy should inform his parents about the marriage. Parental blessing is important.

'Prophecy' hmm... People dnt fear God at all. The question in d 1st place lacks logical coherance. By implication, it means dat his parents are against d idea (d gal) or they may stop him frm haviN children... This is a trap, weddin has nofin 2do wit child bearin ability.

This is a trap dat only boys/gals fall into...

Let's stop twisting Bible abeg . . .Honor Father and Mother have absolutely nothing to do with wedding ooo . In fact the Bible says you will leave father and mother and go marry the person you wan marry. In the old days.

Some traditions had it that men went out and kidnapped for themselves wives and that was it. It still happens in some parts of the world today. And those marriages do ~~ ok. Like some have said, there is no guarantee when it comes to consent or none.

But doing it secretly shouldn't apply to his parents. I understand some couples do low key weddings because they were advised to or they can't afford a big one but exempting their parents is ludicrous. I mean it can be done with just their parents present, no friends or family members.

If I were the lady, I won't accept because women always pay for the consequences, if tomorrow she is kicked out, what proof is there that there was a union- no family witness/albi
