SELFWORTH:

The only people who would find the request offensive are those who have slept with every man on block.

lacidi:
The hypocrisy in your post made you to forget that all you need is to sleep with 1 man and not every man on the block, for you to get pregnant. Can you honestly say you are a virgin? Can you swear you did not have sex with your finacee b4 marriage? Hypocrites.

dammytosh:
The last time i checked marriage in the bible, it is a union between A MAN and A WOMAN.Not a Man , A woman and Her baby.

If you can not abide, look for another church that will allow you marry with 9 months pregnancy.

Mutaino7: some people made mention of mary the mother of Jesus. *knuckle heads* get this in ur skulls mary was visited by the holy spirit and when her spouse Joseph discovered, he had the intention of putting her away quietly until he was told otherwise by God's angel. I think most of this pretenders should study the bible more before opening their canal. Even d old local tradition frowns at pre-intimacy.

SELFWORTH:


Your point?

scarred: I can't believe that this is being discussed, the Church should not do it. On whose behalf are they doing it. It can't be God. This practice is so beyond the pale, it hardly merits discourse. Would it not have been interesting if Josephs marriage to Mary was subjected to this...things happen. We are human beings, we are not perfect....

mathewalab:



It appears to me that you dont understand God through His word you seems to quote out of context neither will you understand His (God) act even at reality.

Please I like you to understand detail of the word of God on issues being discuss and connect the the works of salvation that Master Jesus Christ did for mankind.

First of most, No doubt about God wishes that all sinners be repented and save for them to live with Him in peace BUT can we continue in sin and expect grace to be abound - "NO WAY" the standard of the word of God is sure and anybody that come closer will be save.

Let me ask you - do you termed the act of coming before the whole congregation for wedding terms to the public repentance - certainly NOT AT ALL. Please think deeply about the issue on discussion.

Get this properly, we are not talking outside church, the issue affect CHRISTIANS and not any other fellow outside the church - probably you need interpretation of what christain is all about. You either be one or NOT - A marriage programme is not an hour decision; and for you to be a christain - you must have been going to church services regulary: that is even a spirit of God filled church not common one that filled everywhere now, and again marriage is not for baby but ADULT, how then do you say a mature adult christain did not undertand that its unbiblical to engage in sex before marriage? Because they are not strange to the church teaching or even personal Bible study will expose you to the truth of the word of God --- listen carefully, am not God nor an Angel but this is the position of the word of God.

See, God can not lower His standard either you like it or not. Again you made mentioned of Jesus Christ decision about the woman caught in the act of adultereous - listen carefully, whenever you read Bible, dont jump into conclusion on ordinary alphabetical letters expressed BUT ask why this happened like this; and you know what, we have a great teacher (HOLY SPIRIT) to guide. Jesus Christ did not approve the adultreous act but He chooses to condemn hypocritical acts of Pharieses and Temple scribes.

It is my appeal to you to embrace full salvation and live for God, this no be joke ooooooooooooooooo because that is the only condition to make heaven and reign with Him in the kingdom to come.

God bless you in abundance.

SELFWORTH:

This is absolute nonsense .

Please what church do you attend?

What bible do you guys study in your church?

Miss Ope:

Yes my friend attends Winners chapel,, last year, her wedding was cancelled after it was discovered that she engaged in premarital sex before the D -Day.... We all proceeded to the reception to celebrate the unjoined couples but together she's blessed wt a baby boy.

tete7000: Many people think fornication and adultery is about sleeping together. How wrong they are, anyone who lusts commit immorality in their hearts. Jesus demands purity of heart because every action emanates from the heart. How do you catch someone who fonicates by lusting so as to stop them from wedding?

Logicboy03: [size=18pt]To all the fools supporting this;


How does this test catch a man that was cheating on his fiance and impregnated another woman? HMM?

How does this test catch a couple who had se.x minutes before the test?


Fake churches, fake doctrines, fake rules, foolish pregnancy tests[/size]

eldoradoxx: As human beings we only punish for known sins by prohibiting then from wedding in church, God punishes the unknown sins like abortion etc . After the lady puts to bed n if they wish, they can come forth and dedicate their home before God after confessing to fornication, but for them to be joined together with ring and all marriage rites, NO way. Infact why do they want to conduct marriage rite over a marriage that has been consummated already? Who says that repentance takes away the consequences of sin? Yes, you have repented and God has forgiven your sins, but the natural order of things must follow, you reap whar you sow. A man gets reckless in early life, drinks and smokes and sleeps around, he later repents but that does not take away the fact that his liver and kidney are packing up, or that he has Aids!!! So allowing people to wed with lady's protruding tummy on the ground of forgiveness by God can only give people more room to engage in it. Like I said earlier even in our core traditions as Africans, pre marital sex or pregnancy outside marriage was/is a taboo let alone christendom.

chiteny:
Add this, How does the test catch a couple making love every second with condom one month before the wedding?

Oluwaadajo:

Your ignorance seemed to have helped you to miss the point of Chastity.

It’s not about pregnancy but about holiness which I guess is a Greek word to many people like you.

It doesn’t matter how many men you sleep with. It’s about not going to church and trying to deceive the priests that you are holy when you know you are not. You can deceive yourself but not God. Why deceive innocent people too?

Niger people . They love sin soo much.

please what is a "finacee" . Keep sinning and expect the Grace of God to abound in your life. It won’t happen.


There is no controversy with this issue. It’s simple. Take you pregnancy to another place and get married in your "white dress". There are many alternatives if you are turned down by a church that has high moral standards that people like you struggle to cope with.

Bidam: it starts from the heart but you have to carry it out to a logical conclusion in the flesh before you can call it a sin. Look @ this scripture: " but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed.then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin when it is full grown, gives birth to death.(james 1:14-15). In other words TEMPTATION IS NOT A SIN.

This is exactly what I've been asking..........is pregnancy suppose to be the main focus or fornication...??..........

Mutaino7:
guy you fall my hand. Ok let me ask you some questions from the bible. If you must know a bible believing church do stress on abstinence but in order not to encroach too much into ones private live pregnancy test and medical reports are being required of the couples.
1. Did God not know b4 hand that Cain killed Abel. Y was he asking for abel knowing he was dead already.
2. Jacob deceive Isaac to get his brother blessing. Even though isaac recognized jacob voice he still went aheard to bless him.
Note dat humans can decieve themselves but they cant decieve the holy spirit. We modern day christians are just being saved by grace cos if it were to be in the early years most of us would have been struck dead. Human standard are being placed so as to allow some decency. Finally God standard still stands.

tete7000: read Matthew 5:27 and if you can the entire chapter for further enlightement. For sure you can't know more than Jesus Christ.

ijawkid:

The pregnancy test been enforced on couples who intend to marry to me sounds more like prying into the private lives of people..........

Like I have said and also many have asked,99 percent of persons would engage in pre-marital sex and still not get pregnant....so this pregnancy test issue is just gibberish...the church should rather keep an eye on its individual members and sanitize the church off those who are immoral.............this is exactly what the early christians did............we have politicians who sit down in the front sits in church and are renowned immoral individuals.....what have the churches done about such ones??.........pregnancy test for couples is just a complete waist of time...........

bukatyne: I guess a woman pregnants herself. Naija people are filled with sin and Hypocrisy
