kimco: This is my take on premarital sex. In the days of old, people married early, so having premarital sex was seen as a sin cos i mean b4 18 or even 16, some even younger and u've already had sex, u gotta be a serious wh.ore. However, these days people have to think of how to settle dwn b4 marrying and that's like 27yrs least for males and 25 for females least for females, generally speaking. Also with sex everywhere in our daily lives, it'll be insane not to have sex, we'll be forced to masturbate...i have never dne it b4 and i'll never do it, ever. However, jumping from one person to anoda, is jux not ryt and for me damn stupid. It'll be extremely wicked for religious leaders not to identify with this problem and come to a compromise. Our God is a God of reason and compromise, he isn't that stiff odawise we wouldn't have had his son die for us and most def would have had the earth swallow us immediately we sinned. Besydes if we're to abide by the everything in the bible....then we wouldn't even be here talking... so pls when u open ur mouth to say things u think make u look smart, u think about the other rules that apply to u that u aren't even following. Thank u

I'm a christian btw... B4 clueless people accuse me of being otherwise.
Heresy from the pit of hell.

God is a 'God of Compromise'.

Stop reading logic into the scriptures, God's standards are high and it will remain high.

andymofia: Dear all, I have a friend whose wedding was billed for Saturday, September 21, 2013, but his pastor on interviewing the bride, discovered that they have had premarital sex and cancelled the wedding. Now the young man is confused and do not know what to do. I just hope he doesn't do something nasty. what do you advise?
Youngman, don't fall to the advice of running to another pastor for wedding, start life on a good foundation. The Pastor has done very right, he has the fear of God and I think the sister fears God aswell, for confessing. The way forward is for them to submit to whatever instruction or disciplinary action and ask God for forgiveness. In my church, rccg, they will be counsel to go into church blessing.

That is why no pastor in earth can tell me what to do. Useless pastors. Hypocritical in their personal lives but want everyone to conform to what they preach.

fluid26:

I disagree. The pastor is wrong on this one. Does it mean the girl would never get married? Or perhaps, he expects them to go 'delete' the embryo and return for approval? Or he is hoping for a natural occurrence to 'reset' the anomaly...a miscarriage ? Blighted ovum? Pre-emclampsia? What exactly did he advise as solution to something he identified as a problem.

He claims to be serving Jesus, but he doesn't fully understand the circumstances surrounding the birth of his Christ. Mary was pregnant before marriage [the method of conception here is irrelevant]. She was rejected by society, yet she was eventually married to Joseph. Why? It was Joseph who had the final say, not the society, not the church leaders.

What if the said girl had told the pastor that her conception was immaculate (like Mary's)? What if it was through IVF or other proven non-sex-related method? Would the pastor react differently?

I hate pastors and their ridiculously low mental capacity. Even if he lacks knowledge, he should borrow some common sense from past events and save himself this embarrassment.

You're a truth hater. What you call 'problem' God calls it SIN.

If they knew, why did they not find anoda church that will condone such promiscous act?

Once we find out, then we can nw dissect the situation..so let stop all this false accusation towards the pastor because what he did is not only right but honourable too.
So what if they were having sex before they became members of the church? Shey the pastor will ask them to leave the church?

Let him who has not sinned be first to cast a stone.The pastor should stop acting like a saint and know that we are living in a world full sin.Infact,sin is the nature of the flesh.If some grace & mercy had not found this pastor,where would he be today?Christ died for all & turning away someone who has fallen into sin,makes Christ's work on the cross useless.The blood of Jesus that saves the self-righteous & goes to the other extreme & saves the witch & the murderer,Iam here to say that blood has never lost it's power.It's still saving & delivering.

Very true and very correct. If the couple failed to keep the conditions of getting married in that church, they should not be surprised as to the result.

There is more to being a christian than doing what is "the going culture". Does the fact that so many political and government office holders are thieving crooks make it right for anyone to steal from government funds?

The Bible has specific rules and keeping the marital bed undefiled is one. The same Bible has always maintained that we should not follow the multitude to sin.

The best the pastor can do is place them on a suspension, postpone the wedding and suspend them if they hold any position in church. I am sure the church has disciplinary guidelines and the couple should be made to serve the term prescribed there. If the couple is truly repentant, they will agree to the church's discipline and then the mercy card can then be played and the wedding conducted. Anything else is rebellion - whether you like it or not, that is the truth according to the Bible.

The cancelled event can't be re-arranged/re-scheduled if both party seek the face of God.. (Repentance)

..also any Judge that wish to preside over the matter can as well join them in a customary court, not a Church..

Church nor be beer parlour, oga.


Well I really do not blame you.. The new generation Pastors have turned the bible up-side and down.. Nowadays, I wonder where they get their messages.. I keep wondering if they are still preaching the same word Paul, and all the Apostles died for...

May God save us all..

So now your new definition of LOVE & HOLY MATRIMONY is testing the genital organs of the opposite s€x..

So now, a man in a bid of searching for the woman to marry can test run the genitals of your sisters one after the other to check which genital best fit his joystick..
In a case whereby, Mr pervert is dissatisfied, he's free to further the genital hypothesis on your female cousins one-by-one...

Maybe, just maybe, after test running about 15 of them, he can then choose one that best fit on bed.. wow!

Mind you, thats Mr pervert hypothesis..

Another Mr s€xmaniac in a bid for marriage can also proceed from your sisters again one after the other on a queue testing running them each by each ... again and again... smiley wow..

Stupid pastor! Was he a Virgin before he got married? He shouldn't blame his sexual inadequacies growing up on a young couple who love each other and intend to spend the reminder of their lives together. Does the Cow of a pastor know Jesus even brought a prostitute close to him and didn't condemn her? Who is he to start judging people? If he has children and they had premarital sex will he disown them and wish they become single all their lives because they had premarital sex? He is a silly pastor and am sure if people check very well the bible he carries around all day trying to justify his sermons and doctrines could probably a Chinua Achebe Novel in Paper back disguised as a bible.
Re: Pastor Cancelled My Friend's Wedding Because Of Premarital Sex. by megareal: 2:33pm On Sep 18, 2013
Ok, they did wrong by having premarital sex. The church should have thought to discipline them a long ways before the wedding date. Discipline in this instance isn't a harsh punishment like wedding cancellation but more of stripping them of the cloak of pretensions by blessing their marriage. Else your'e simply throwing away the baby with the bath water. BTW, church wedding isn't the height of it because the minute the bride price is traditionally paid, the couple is entitled to be called married. White wedding is just the oyinbo way of doing things..., the real deal is the bride price. So if a couple had sex after payment of the bride price BEFORE the church wedding, thev'e done no wrong cos they are already married.
