Church wedding is a scam. It's not even biblical. Just propaganda upandan

xendra:
how about a no sex or just stay away from church wedding instead. y'all should stop this abortion nonesense, if people stayed away from sex b4 marriage there wont be need for abortion and thats what the church is tryng to avoid.

DjAndroid:


Thanks. I will read more.

Does it mean some guys have ever married so many wives unknowingly?

Richy4:



I do not mean to quote you but the Bible says thou shall not commit adultery... apparently, they have broken the 7th commandment ......even the church I worship Hillsong church....They don't join man and woman living together before their wedding..... If for some reason they do, they have to live apart for some months ie after confessing their sins and have repented of it..This could be bla bla bla.... But some church still instill biblical law and order....

xendra:
Thats not news, they did the right thing.
people should stop tempting churches, pastors and other christians.
If you are pregnant before marriage you best not do a church wedding.

xendra:
na you sabi o, stop wasting my mb cos i can see you have decided that its ok to keep crucifying christ because he came to die once.

AK6464:


The two shall become one not the three shall become one dear, they are not throwing them out but Gods standard should not be adjusted.

conquerour:
You are mad.

God bless you for me.

hopefulLandlord:
Even Jesus was not the son of Joseph

so he was conceived outside wedlock

MrPresident1:


A lot of things have been done and continue being done due to ignorance.

This message is for only the person who can take it.

2SWT:

For the bolded I'd refer you to my post above

I am not and would never be in support of abortion except for some cases


Let's be realistic here,
In our society presently, it's hard for guys to agree to a no sex relationship even if they are ready to marry you the next day.
There was a thread where a girl narrated how she was dumped for being a virgin she's not the only one with such experience I have too Lemme not talk too much

The church should be realistic at this point and maybe create a remedy for such scenario. By refusing to wed them, they have indirectly increased the number of abortions in the church

2SWT:
but they still join those who have sex before marriage

Wolexdey:


Sex outside marriage is Sin...Definition of Sin: success in nothing... GOD'S standard is supreme...

A true Child of GOD will do that which pleases the Father in every way possible...Let's stop giving excuses...GOD has empowered us to live above this temptation...We need to allow the Holy Spirit, the Word of GOD guard us through and we should key in obedience to the MOST HIGH GOD...

Obedience is far better than sacrifice.

Thanks!

2SWT:
If you say the church is not supposed to wed a pregnant lady then wedding should strictly be meant for virgins because fornication is fornication whether the lady gets pregnant or not.


Some aunties after series of abortion they put on white gown for church wedding and you all will go there and keep quiet then you condemn a lady who kept the baby.

If I were in her shoes I wouldn't even bother for a church wedding I will just do it in court and go for reception after all wedding is wedding wether it was in church or not.

One last thing; what is the relevance of church wedding?

Richy4:


God is a merciful God...there's something called genuine repentance....If any one sinned and repent of it, that sin will be wiped away and be forgotten ...The cross has made every one that genuinely repented flawless... Fornication is not the only sin on the planet..I hope you would remember who Paul was in the Bible...But the cross made him flawless just like the rest of us..

Do not make it as if it was the woman that was denied of the nuptial ceremony...The man was equally denied..when she gives birth, she will go for marriage blessings if she like...what the man and woman did was a sacred union meant for married people...what do you want the pastor to say to them during the service.....They have already done it and got an evidence through their union...so what is left is to bless their union...

2SWT:
would you rather advice abortion?

Wolexdey:


A true Child of GOD will do that which pleases the Father in every way possible...LET'S STOP GIVING EXCUSES...GOD HAS EMPOWERED US TO LIVE ABOVE THIS TEMPTATION...We need to allow the Holy Spirit, the Word of GOD guard us through and we should key in obedience to the MOST HIGH GOD...

Wolexdey:



Don't utter what you do not know...Remember you're talking about the Church of Christ...

Be wise!

paulbets:
Traditionally in Igbo Land, you can't pay bride price of a pregnant woman

So I don't think is much about the sinfulness of fornication, premarital sex or the shame of bearing child out of wedlock... but because marriage practically and critically involves only man and woman.

All the same people should always be truthful as there is always a way and some sort of arrangement to overcome all kinds of challenges, circumstances or conditions.

Honestly, we do a lot of things ignorantly.

FortuneTeller:
Must we marry in church? Traditional marriage is no longer recognized as valid

flamingREED:
God bless that church and the minister that cancelled that wedding of liars and adulterers.

Now, my dear,
What happened to Ananias and Sapphirah?

The Spirit of love killed them.

Pollute yourself if you like. But the consequences of polluting God's church is enormous.



Hear from Christ:

Revelation 2
22 BEHOLD, I WILL CAST HER INTO A BED, AND THEM THAT COMMIT ADULTERY WITH HER INTO GREAT TRIBULATION, EXCEPT THEY REPENT OF THEIR DEEDS.
23 AND I WILL KILL HER CHILDREN WITH DEATH; AND ALL THE CHURCHES SHALL KNOW THAT I AM HE WHICH SEARCHETH THE REINS AND HEARTS: AND I WILL GIVE UNTO EVERY ONE OF YOU ACCORDING TO YOUR WORKS.

Hear from Paul:

1 Timothy 5
20 THEM THAT SIN REBUKE BEFORE ALL, THAT OTHERS ALSO MAY FEAR.

1 Timothy 1
20 OF WHOM IS HYMENAEUS AND ALEXANDER; WHOM I HAVE DELIVERED UNTO SATAN, THAT THEY MAY LEARN NOT TO BLASPHEME.

1 Corinthians 5
13 BUT THEM THAT ARE WITHOUT GOD JUDGETH. THEREFORE PUT AWAY FROM AMONG YOURSELVES THAT WICKED PERSON.

Badgers14:



Please oga pastor, can you explain to me why Jesus went to dine and wine with Zaccheaus

Also why JESUS condemned stoning of the adulterous woman.

There is no justification for what the church did.. In my opinion they were 150% wrong...

So the lady should not get married then because she is pregnant?

Who are we to judge one another

Before you start quoting me, I want you to look inside your self and cast the first stone if you are without sin

felixomor:


I will advice abstinence.

Good for everybody.
