Hello folks, I am a believer and would like to ask this question because many churches and believers seem to be following a trend which I see as unscriptural. Why would a church ask an intended couple to run a genotype test before "permitting" the wedding. although I have my own position on this I would like to hear yours. God bless us all |

Yes. Most churches insist on the tests. They recognise that Sickle Cell Anemia is a serious illness and it causes a rift in the family. A family in a church I attend has two boys suffering from the illness and it is really disturbing. Anyway, I think churches insist on these tests to help the couple make an informed decision. If after the testing, the couple insist they want to marry, the church (at least, the one I attend) doesn't say no. They still wed the couple... |

perhaps I didnt make the question clear enough. I asked this from the context of a believer and also directed at believers who want to wed. I do know that as believers we are of a different and higher lineage. The bible says we are in the world but not of this world which means we operate under a different law. Is it Gods wisdom for genotype tests or is it mans wisdom? If we permit and run genotype tests where then is the place of faith? Is God now unable to perform the miracle of AS and AS producing AA continually? Was it lack of faith that brough about these tests or is it just human wisdom? |

It has nothing to do with Christianity but the awareness and precautions to breeding healthy offsprings...awareness and knowledge can come from anywhere..either church, mosque, babalawo cabana, market place, etc 1 Like |

'My people perish for lack of knowledge'. So it's good to know, try to know all you can so you won't perish for lack of knowledge. |
