Please read your post again. Please what is fornication? Kindly consult your dictionary for the meaning. Define fornication. So sex before marriage is not a sin? May GOD forgive you.

SEX BETWEEN ANY PERSONS OTHER THAN THAT BETWEEN TWO LEGALLY MARRIED MAN AND HIS WIFE (a woman) IS A SERIOUS SIN. TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT!

Now you are being Radical here...

Do you think Bible is a dictionary? It was not written in English mind you... That was why Islam still prefers to read the Holy Quran in Arabic. The bible was originally written in Greek and the word translated to fornication means pornea as it means Sexual Sins, which includes Idolatry, Adultery, Incest and all...

You need to know the meaning to the words you read in the bible... The real context is Self Control..

1 Corinthians 7:2: "Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband."
.... it reads to avoid not to commit. Cos if you are not married, you will tend to sex this, that and drop and that is sexual lust, which is a sin. So it advises that to avoid it, get married so you will know a covenant is bounding.

Jude 1:7: "Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire."
...it also read going after strange flesh... like visiting harlots... that is fornication mind you.

1 Corinthians 5:1: "It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife."
...that proves another meaning of the word... having one's father's wife.


Please note that the pastors use it for unmarried reasons today so as to exercise self control, which is a good thing.

this is more like a trend amongst our young girls who use pregnancy as a tool to tie down their men for marriage. Personally i kw of three girls who rocked life well back in school but didnt get pregnant, even if they did, am sure they aborted it but am wondering why all of a sudden after graduation they are all pregnant and before you kw wots happening wedding bells are ringing.
pls i stand to be corrected if my observations are wrong.....the church should stop wedding such couples in my honest opinion

This is very funny. Are you implying the church should stop such weddings to prevent the women from taking advantage of these "innocent" men. And is this aimed at preventing gals who rocked life well in school from getting married in church?

kulyie: it is usually the tactic used by desperate women to pin down mr money guy.

Yesterday where i went to fix eye lashes,i met a young girl between 22-23 in that same beauty studio and i asked her hope the strike isnt affecting you,she said ha,no o aunty.infact,i am trying to get pregnant,i want to hook my new boyfriend down with pregnancy,i dont want him to escape from my hand,i said why do you want to do that,she said,he has money na.he is a big boy o.at least even if he doesnt send me again after the marriage,i can always use the baby as a tool to collect money from him.i said ehenn..school nko?wont you complete your education and earn a degree.she said abegiii.who needs certificate,i am all after money joor,dont you know its expensiveto do fine girl,i said lobatan.anyway the point i am trying to make is desperation and wrong priorities cause things like this

gbam thats exactly the point i was trying to make......infact education has lost its value that girls only think of how to get pregnant!

am implying that the church shuld not marry a couple when the woman is pregnant because the church also preach against it!

That should be the ideal thing.Anyone who wants to get married with pregnancy should go to the registry.
