STUDY ROMANS 13, WHICH SPEAKS OF HONOURING CUSTOMS FOR WHOM IT IS DUE. ALSO, JUDAIC PRACTICES ARE NOT NECESSARILY CHRISTIAN PRACTICES, THEY ONLY SHOW SOME SYMBOLIC SEMBLANCE. OP TAKE NOTE. WORK HARD AND PAY THE BRIDEPRICE OF ANY CUSTOM YOU HOPE TO MARRY FROM. SHALOM EVERYONE. 7 Likes |

So it was okay to rape a girl and have her for life, whether she liked it or not? that's interesting, the lord is really good. Bride price as far as I'm concerned is rubbish and should be scrapped, same goes for the list. 3 Likes |

Toks2008:Adaeze is right. The bride price is not paid in the church and not to a priest, but in a traditional setting to the woman's father. This is an African tradition not just a biblical one. And bride price in the bible is not just for virgins. Even Hosea the prophet paid a bride price on his wife Gomer the prostitute. Bathsheba was married to another man but when she remarried David, a bride price was paid on her. I personally have issues with the idea behind Bride Price. It reduces women to status of merchandise such as furniture and electronics. That's why you hear some men say "After all I spent as your bride price! You must do so and so or you dare not do so and so. 16 Likes |

freecocoa:My sister He is really good o. Imagine the joy of waking up every morning to the face of the man who forcefully had intercourse with you. Preparing his food. Having his children(probably under more forceful sex). Calling him 'my lord'. Going to the temple with him like a happy, functional couple. committing suicide later. OK I'm joking about that last part. But the above scenario is seriously bleeped up on some many levels. 2 Likes |

Am sure that no Nigerian was there as at the time the Bible was written else, all Nigerian marital Wrights would have been included from verse 37-999 of that exodus 16. However, those who wrote the Bible marry what ever God was telling them with their own culture. This is the Nigerian culture, learn it, know it and practice it.... Shalom |
