The church stands for holiness - Deeper Life Church reacts after suspending couple’s wedding for allegedly eating from same plate

- Legit.ng earlier reported that a Deeper Life Church in Bayelsa suspended a couple’s wedding because they ate from the same plate before their marriage


- The report raised a number of criticisms from social media users and the church has now released a statement reacting to the case

- According to the church, it stands for holiness and the couple were in haste to enjoy the benefits of married couples

A Nigerian couple-to-be Bolingo Israel and Okpokpolom Jemima, who are members of the Deeper Life Church, had their wedding which was slated to hold on June 8, 2019, suspended by their pastor.

It was earlier reported that the wedding was allegedly suspended because the couple ate from the same plate a week before tying the knot.

Well, the Deeper Life Church has reacted to the reports. In a statement sent to Legit.ng, the church explained that contrary to reports, the couple had actually engaged in moral acts after sleeping in the same bed and it amounted to sin.

The church further explained that after feeling guilty and reporting themselves to their respective pastors, the couple was placed on disciplinary action by the state overseer.

After the church felt they had repented, the wedding was slated to hold again but was eventually suspended the second time after they discovered the couple had engaged in 'acts contrary to the laid down procedure by the marriage committee of the church'.

Concluding the statement, the church explained that it stands for holiness and members have been admonished to abstain from evil.

The couple was also described to have behaved unseemingly and were in a haste to enjoy the benefits of married couples.

Read the statement below:

"The church has a Marriage Committee that supervises marriage right from knowing the will of God, to obtaining parents’ consent, marriage registration to church wedding.

When the intending couples were told to go to Brass Region in Bayelsa state to obtain the man’s parents’ consent, they spent several days together before coming back to Yenagoa. They slept on the same bed and engaged in moral acts which amounted to sin and against the marriage process of the Church. They felt what they had done was bad and reported themselves to their pastors.

They were subsequently placed on discipline by the State Overseer. After some period, reporting that they have repented, the courtship was allowed to commence again.

As preparation for wedding was going on, it was discovered that they again engaged in acts contrary to the laid down procedure by the marriage committee of the church. This is after they had been disciplined earlier and warned not to engage in acts that will impact negatively on their proposed marriage.

When the Marriage Committee put a direct question to them based on the latest development, the man accepted their error. It is important to note here, that the church stands on holiness and members have been consistently admonished to “abstain from all appearance of evil. It is not also true that the parents pleaded with the pastor to wed them on the 8th June, 2019.

The summary is that they behaved themselves unseemingly, and were in haste to enjoy the benefits the church and God allow only married couples to enjoy."

Guy your name is on a list for fake news. If you don't stop you may be banned. Stop fabrication

.

Who fabricated the list of fake news Would the church leadership fold its arms and allow some social media unscrupulous elements to smear the name of the church and the Christian folds with junk journalism? Off course no. The information above is true and nothing but the truth. We should be wary of the danger of single line story purportedly spearheaded by online miscreants for cheap popularity.

I knew there was more to the story.

The mods should better send it to the front page as they quickly did the one that showcased the decision in bad light.

MISHIGAS!

Fools measure their Faith by following MAN-MADE DOCTRINES that are themselves INIQUITIES, being DELIBERATEL additions to and subtractions from The Law of God by Moses- which is the ONLY standard of SIN.

. LUKE 12:35-48.

34. "For where your Treasure is,
there will your heart be also.
35. "Let your loins be girded about,
and your lights burning;
36. "And ye yourselves like unto men
that wait for their lord,
when he will return from the wedding;
that when he cometh and knocketh,
they may open unto him immediately.
37. "Blessed are those servants,
whom the lord when he cometh
shall find watching:
verily I Say unto you,

'THAT HE SHALL GIRD HIMSELF,
AND MAKE THEM SIT DOWN TO MEAT,
AND WILL COME FORTH
AND SERVE THEM.'

38. "And if he shall come
in the Second Watch,
or come in the Third Watch,
and find them so,
blessed are those servants.
39. "And this know,

'THAT IF THE GOODMAN
OF THE HOUSE HAD KNOWN
WHAT HOUR
THE THIEF WOULD COME
HE WOULD HAVE WATCHED,
AND NOT SUFFERED
HIS HOUSE TO BE
BROKEN THROUGH.'

40. "Be ye therefore ready also:
for The Son of Man cometh
at an hour when ye think not."
41. Then Peter said unto him,

"Lord, speakest thou this Parable unto us,
or even to all?"

42. And the Lord Said,

"Who then is that faithful and wise steward,
whom his lord shall make ruler
over his household,
to give them their portion of meat
in due season?
43. "Blessed is that Servant,
whom his lord when he cometh
shall find so doing.
44. Of a Truth I Say unto you,

'THAT HE WILL MAKE HIM
RULER OVER ALL THAT HE HATH.'

45. "But and if that servant
say in his heart

,'MY LORD DELAYETH HIS COMING;'

and shall begin to beat
the menservants and maidens,
and to eat and drink,
and to be drunken;
46. "The lord of that servant
will come in a day
when he looketh not for him,
and at an hour when he is not aware,
and will cut him in sunder,
and will appoint him his portion
with the unbelievers.
47. "And that servant,
which knew his lord's will,
and prepared not himself,
neither did according to his will,
shall be beaten with many stripes.
48. "But he that knew not,
and did commit things
worthy of stripes,
shall be beaten with few stripes.
For unto whomsoever much is given,
of him shall be much required:
and to whom men
have committed much,
of him they will ask the more."

THE LAW OF GOD EXPLCITLY STATES THAT SEX CAN PRECEDE MARRIAGE.

. EXODUS 22:16-17.

16. "And if a man entice a maid
that is not betrothed,
and lie with her,
he shall surely endow her
to be his wife.
17. "If her father utterly refuse
to give her unto him,
he shall pay money
according to the dowry of virgins."

A MAN WHO HAS SEX WITH A WOMAN MUST MAKE HER HIS WIFE.

He cannot refuse to do so.

Her father, however, can refuse to give his daughter to him.

THE LAW DOES NOT SAY THAT EITHER OF THEM HAS COMMITTED A SIN BY HAVING SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE.

.   DEUTERONOMY 12:32-13:5.

32. What thing soever I Command you,
observe to do it:
thou shalt not add thereto,
nor diminish from it.
IF THERE arise among you a Prophet,
or a Dreamer of Dreams,
and giveth thee a Sign or a Wonder,
2. And the Sign or the Wonder
come to pass,
whereof he spake unto thee,
saying,

"LET US GO AFTER OTHER GODS,
WHICH THOU HAST NOT KNOWN,
AND LET US SERVE THEM."

3. Thou shalt not hearken
unto the words of that Prophet,
or that Dreamer of Dreams:
for The LORD thy God proveth you,
to know whether ye love
The LORD your God
with all your heart
and with all your soul.
4. Ye shall walk after
The LORD your God,
and fear Him,
and keep His Commandments,
and obey His Voice,
and ye shall serve Him,
and cleave unto Him.
5. And that Prophet,
or that Dreamer of Dreams,
shall be put to Death;
because he hath spoken
to turn (you) away
from The LORD your God,
Which brought you
out of the land of Egypt,
and redeemed you
out of the House of Bondage,
to thrust thee
out of The Way which
The LORD thy God
Commanded thee to walk in.
So shalt thou put the Evil away
from the midst of thee.

PEOPLE CLAIMING "REVELATIONS FROM GOD" TO CONTROL OTHER PEOPLES' LIVES WITH UNLAWFUL COMMANDMENTS, ARE NOT SPEAKING BY YAHWEH GOD, BUT FROM ANOTHER GOD- A FALSE GOD.

That actually is a SIN.

. MATTHEW 15:1-20.

THEN came to Jesus
scribes and Pharisees,
which were of Jerusalem,
saying,

2. "Why do thy Disciples
transgress the Tradition
of the Elders?
For they wash not
their hands when
they eat bread."

3. But he answered
and Said unto them,

"Why do ye also transgress
The Commandment of God
by your Tradition?
4. "For God Commanded,
Saying,

'HONOUR THY FATHER
AND MOTHER:
AND, HE THAT CURSETH
FATHER OR MOTHER
LET HIM DIE THE DEATH.'

5. "But ye say,

'WHOSOEVER SHALL SAY
TO HIS FATHER OR MOTHER,

"IT IS A GIFT,
BY WHATSOEVER
THOU MIGHTEST BE
PROFITED BY ME;"

6. 'AND HONOUR NOT
HIS FATHER OR HIS MOTHER,
HE SHALL BE FREE.'

Thus have ye made
The Commandment of God
of none effect
by your Tradition.
7. "Ye Hypocrites,
well did Esaias
Prophesy of you,
saying,

8. 'THIS PEOPLE
DRAWETH NIGH UNTO ME
WITH THEIR MOUTH,
AND HONOURETH ME
WITH THEIR LIPS;
BUT THEIR HEART
IS FAR FROM ME.
9. 'BUT IN VAIN
THEY DO WORSHIP ME,
TEACHING FOR DOCTRINES
THE COMMANDMENTS
OF MEN.' "

10. And he called the multitude,
and Said unto them,

"Hear, and understand:
11. "Not that which goeth
into the mouth defileth a man;
but that which cometh
out of the mouth,
this defileth a man."

12. Then came his Disciples,
and Said unto him,

"Knowest thou that
the Pharisees were offended,
after they heard this Saying?"

13. But he answered and Said,

"Every plant,
which my Heavenly Father
hath not Planted,
shall be rooted up.
14. "Let them alone:
they be blind leaders
of the blind.
And if the blind lead the blind,
both shall fall into the ditch."

15. Then answered Peter
and said unto him,

"Declare unto us this Parable."

16. And Jesus Said,

"Are ye also yet
without understanding?
17. "Do not ye yet understand,
that whatsoever entereth in
at the mouth
goeth into the belly,
and is cast out
into the draught?
18. "But those things
which proceed
out of the mouth
come forth from the heart;
and they defile the man.
19. "For out of the heart
proceed Evil Thoughts,
Murders, Adulteries,
Fornications, Thefts,
False Witness, Blasphemies:
20. These are the things
which defile a man:
but to eat with
unwashen hands
defileth not a man."

[b]THE REAL SINNERS HERE ARE THOSE WHO DIVERT BELIEVERS IN GOD FROM THE LAW AND WAY OF GOD TO OYINBO-MADE "GMO" COMMANDMENTS THAT DO NOTHING TO MAKE ONE MORE RIGHTEOUS, NOR HOLY.[/i]

How can you have "REVELATIONS FROM GOD" that tell you to declare SEX-BEFORE-MARRIAGE a SIN, when there is NO COMMANDMENT OF GOD that declares that?

Yet you have NO REVELATION WHATSOEVER that THE HEBREWS WERE BLACK PEOPLE- even, our course- countrymen, the IGBOS, were descendants of the tribe of GAD the whole time?

Why does your alleged Voice-of-God never tell you that the image the Oyinbos foisted upon us as "THE FACE OF THE SON OF GOD," is in fact the portrait of the illegitimate son of POPE ALEXANDER VI, a Whoremongering Serial Killer.

We have been taught to revere a Tyrant and murderer, yet none of those who claim to hear the Voice of the Lord, or The Voice of God, ever heard anything like that!

THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH distorted Biblical Doctrine to make their murderous version of Christianity fit Pagan beliefs.

[See: THE TWO BABYLONS, by Reverend Alexander Hislop for the extensive details.]

This included making "THE APOSTLES" into gods- to be worshipped and prayed to, contrary to Scripture.

"SCRIPTURE" itself is not what we have been told. A diligent scholar should research how The Bible was actually made, instead of blindly believing that It is "THE BOOK OF GOD."

PROPHET ISAIAH mocked the creation of wooden idols, and The Bible, printed on wood pulp, is consistent with that. All the parts of the wood thrown away are regarded as unimportant, but the finished idol, a mere fraction of the tree that was destroyed to make it, is regarded as a god.

The Bible replaces GOD: Sins and Iniquities are justified, if ONE VERSE in "THE BIBLE" can be used to justify them.

THE NEW TESTAMENT is built upon Sins and Iniquities.

. DEUTERONOMY 18:15-22.

5. The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee
a Prophet from the midst of thee,
of thy Brethren,
like unto Me;
unto him ye shall hearken;
16. According to all
that thou desiredst of The LORD thy God
in Horeb in the Day of the Assembly,
saying,

"LET ME NOT HEAR AGAIN
THE VOICE OF THE LORD MY GOD,
NEITHER LET ME SEE
THIS GREAT FIRE ANY MORE,
THAT I DIE NOT."

17. And The LORD Said unto me,

"THEY HAVE WELL SPOKEN
THAT WHICH THEY HAVE SPOKEN.
18. "I WILL RAISE THEM UP A PROPHET
FROM AMONG THEIR BRETHREN,
LIKE UNTO THEE,
AND WILL PUT MY WORDS IN HIS MOUTH;
AND HE SHALL SPEAK UNTO THEM
ALL THAT I SHALL COMMAND HIM.
19. "AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS,
THAT WHOSOEVER WILL NOT HEARKEN
UNTO MY WORDS
WHICH HE SHALL SPEAK IN MY NAME,
I WILL REQUIRE IT OF HIM.”

20. But the prophet,
which shall presume
to speak a word in My Name,
which I have not commanded him to speak,
or that shall speak in the name of other gods,
even that prophet shall die.
21. "And if thou say in thine heart,

'HOW SHALL WE KNOW THE WORD
WHICH THE LORD HATH NOT SPOKEN?'

22. When a prophet speaketh
in The Name of The LORD,
if the thing follow not,
nor come to pass,
that is the thing which
The LORD hath not spoken,
but the prophet hath
spoken it presumptuously:
thou shalt not be afraid of him.

THE BASIS FOR SERVING LORD YESHUA IS THAT MOSES COMMANDED US TO.

We apply Moses' Prophecy to Yeshua of Nazareth because WE THINK he meant HIM:

By the way, "JEHOVAH," "JOSHUA," "JOSEPH," "JERUSALEM," "JESUS," and so on are all FALSE NAMES, because the letter "J" was invented about the same time the Oyinbos began claiming that the Lord was a WHITE man, like them. "YESHUA" is argued to be closer to the correct spelling and pronunciation- but it is merely an ARGUMENT no one can prove conclusively.

Another important fact "THE VOICES" don't talk about.

. MATTHEW 16:13-20.

13. When Jesus came
into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi,
he asked his Disciples,
Saying,

"Whom do men say that I
The Son of Man am?"

14. And they said,

"Some say that thou
art John the Baptist:
some, Elias;
and others, Jeremias,
or one of the Prophets."

15. He saith unto them,

"But whom say ye that I am?"

16. And Simon Peter answered
and said,

"Thou art the Christ,
The Son of The Living God."

17. And Jesus answered
and Said unto him,

"Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona:
for Flesh and Blood hath not
Revealed It unto thee,
but my Father
Which is in Heaven.
18. "And I say also unto thee,

'THAT THOU ART PETER,
AND UPON UPON THIS ROCK
I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH;
AND THE GATES OF HELL
SHALL NOT PREVAIL IT.'

19. "And I will give unto thee
The Keys of The Kingdom of Heaven:
and whatsoever
thou shalt bind on Earth
shall be bound in Heaven:
and whatsoever
thou shalt loose on Earth
shall be loosed in Heaven."

20. Then charged he his Disciples
that they should tell no man
that he was Jesus The Christ.

EVERYBODY WHO BELIEVES "JESUS" IS THE CHRIST BECAUSE SOMEBODY TOLD THEM SO IS LYING.

That is NOT REAL BELIEF in the Lord.

. MATTHEW 11:25-30.

25. At that time Jesus answered
and said,

"I thank Thee,
O Father,
Lord of Heaven and Earth,
because thou hast hid these things
from the wise and prudent,
and hast revealed them unto babes.
26. "Even so, Father:
for so it seemed good in Thy Sight.
27. "All things are delivered unto me
of my Father:
and no man knoweth The Son,
but The Father;
neither knoweth any man The Father,
save The Son,
and he to whomsoever The Son
will reveal him.
28. "Come unto me,
all ye that labour
and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.
29. "Take my Yoke upon you,
and learn of me;
for I am meek and lowly in heart:
and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30. "For my Yoke is easy,
and my burden is light."

ONLY GOD CAN TELL YOU WHO LORD YESHUA IS.

If you believe Yeshua is the HaMISHIACH because SOMEBODY TOLD YOU, then your Faith is in MEN, not in GOD.

. MATTHEW 24:1-5.[

AND Jesus went out,
and departed from the Temple:
and his Disciples came to him
for to shew him the Buildings
of The Temple.
2. And Jesus Said unto them,

"See ye not all these things?
Verily I Say unto you,

'THERE SHALL NOT BE LEFT HERE
ONE STONE UPON ANOTHER
THAT SHALL NOT BE
THROWN DOWN.'

3. And as he sat upon
the mount of Olives,
the Disciples came
unto him privately,
Saying,

"Tell us, when shall these things be?
And what shall be
The Sign of thy Coming,
and of The End of the World?"

4. And Jesus answered
and Said unto them,

"Take heed
that no man deceive you.
5. "For many shall come in my Name,
saying, I am Christ;
and shall deceive many."

THE FIRST DECEPTION IN FALSE CHRISTIANITY IS THAT GOD AUTHORIZED MEN TO TELL MEN THAT YESHUA IS THE MESSIAH.

Once people have swallowed THAT Deception, they will be wide open for further Deceptions.

. JOHN 6:35-45.

35. And Jesus Said
unto them,

“I am The Bread of Life.
He that cometh to me
shall never Hunger,
and he that believeth in me
shall never Thirst.
36. "But I Said unto you
that ye also have seen me,
and believe not.
37. "All that The Father
giveth me
shall come to me,
and him that
cometh to me
I will in no wise cast out.
38. "For I came
down from Heaven,
not to do Mine own will,
but The Will of Him
that sent me.
39. "And this is
The Father’s Will
Who hath sent Me,

'THAT OF ALL WHICH
HE HATH GIVEN ME
I SHOULD LOSE NOTHING,
BUT SHOULD
RAISE IT UP AGAIN
AT THE LAST DAY.'

40. "And this is The Will
of Him that sent me:

'THAT EVERY ONE
WHO SEETH THE SON
AND BELIEVETH IN HIM
MAY HAVE
EVERLASTING LIFE,
AND I WILL RAISE HIM UP
AT THE LAST DAY.' "

41. The Jews then
murmured at Him,
because he Said,

“I AM THE BREAD
WHICH CAME DOWN
FROM HEAVEN.”

42. And they said,

“Is not this Jesus,
the son of Joseph,
whose father and mother
we know?
How is it then that he Saith,

[I]'I CAME DOWN
FROM HEAVEN?' "[/i]

43. Jesus therefore answered
and Said unto them,

“Murmur not among yourselves.
44. "No man can come to me
unless The Father
Who hath sent me draw him;
and I will raise him up
at The Last Day.
45. "It is written in the Prophets:

‘AND THEY SHALL BE
ALL TAUGHT BY GOD.’

Every man therefore
that hath heard and hath learned
From The Father
cometh unto me."

NAMELY, THAT GOD GIVES HUMAN TEACHERS TO TEACH THE CHURCH.

That is not the Christianity Lord Yeshua gave his life for. But that is the type that criminalizes Divine Rights.

Once you allow people to invent Fake Sins like this, you accept a blindfold through which you will never see light again.
