Premarital sex or pregnancy has to stop...its against church doctrine. There the church is on the right part. As for you,go and get pregnant too before wedding, na green gown you go wear so. See as you get moral dey yan dust. shame!

Liljeez:
I've been an anglican from birth and i want to fault the op's claim....white signifies purity and as such has been taken as the official wedding colour of the anglican bride.Now it isnt peculiar to Nigeria alone.....This was generally agreed upon at a meeting at the headquarters of the anglican church worldwide..
The Westminster Abbey London....Present at this meeting were representative of anglican churches from each country....
Which above? Of God or of men?


What im saying is you cant fault that particular church cos dey where only following orders from above

You're a church go-er.There is a difference between a church go-er and a Christian.
Don't you people always see the contradiction in your arguments?You do not want to recognise the church and it's standards yet you still want to come to the church for your program?It's like a young man who says to hell with university education and yet attacks UTME for not giving him admission.
Not everyone has gotten married in Church and you don't have to.If you say you are married traditionally,then why do you still bother with church?Isn't that an irony?

I said lawful not legal..I chose my words carefully..a marriage that is witnessed and accepted by the families of both man and woman is lawful before men and before God that is my point.. A court wedding is a legal marriage before the government..I will consent to a church wedding because of my woman..but NOBODY can make me feel guilty for knowing my wife after paying her dowry and getting the blessings of both families..

You are the one embarrassing yourself

Take time to Google white wedding gown

So4baba:
My church, my church, my church. This is what I have bn noticing from the first page. When will Christians turn to saying my Bible? The word of God! Every church has its own dogma as the only Christian doctrine we have as Christians is in the Bible and cut across all "churches"..white wedding ISNT scriptural, so it is not a DOCTRINE, it's more like a DOGMA. but if you think you need to follow a particular church DOGMA as concerning their wedding rites, den pls obey their rules and regulations. The marriage DOCTRINE as postulated by the Bible is the payment of dowry and the acknowledgement by both concerned parents in the presence of the law governing the land.

"Lawful" connotes an agreement with requirements of the law. So, I agree that church wedding is lawful, but it's not compulsory. And again, the church preserves it's right to make it's bye laws/ requirements for every event which it is to be involved in. If the church is says a pregnant bride should wear colored clothing, then I think its your choice whether to do the wedding in the church or not.

The white gown is symbolic and if you don't fit into the criteria, then why do you want to wear it at all cost?

Only sensible comment here! The writer was busy ranting and calling Anglican Anglican Anglican. I have seen a church that called a lady that got pregnant before her wedding to d alter, said all sorts of things and gave her "Back Seat" in d church. Every church has their own doctrine. It has been on for centuries, they didn't see her and make d law. Stop blabbing already.

If in a school, the rules and regulations are against malpractice and it's consequences are clearly written, will she cry fowl when d school punishes her? She knows that pregnancy before wedding is against d doctrine of the church, she should expect d punishment that follows.

Biko "White" wedding is not by force, if u think u can't cope with d Rules, do Ur traditional and make Babies. MyOneKobo

what's your biblically backing for church wedding?

thorpido:
Stop promoting fornication
It is not compulsory to get married in church.Noone will force you to.If you decide to get married in church then you ought to do the right thing.You ought to know (and should know) that pregnancy is not allowed so why bring the pregnancy there?
Have you traditional marriage and go to the registry,chikena..

eyeview:
I believe every institution has rules governing it and if you want to be part of that institution,then play by its rules. Simple.
And if you are not ready,you are very free to walk away and use the services of another institution.
But you can't be in an establishment and want them to follow your own rules.

Don't bother with that question anymore because you will get no answer from them.. Because there is none to give..

You talk as though you don't know the pressure the church mounts on their members. If you don't do traditional marriage and don't do church wedding,you are labelled a sinner. This churches have somehow become a part of our daily life and when you are taking a decision like marriage you just can't ignore them. Well,the churches should go easy with their rules.

olakan22:
Premarital sex is a sin. God commanded that an adulterer or adultress should be stoned to death. However we learnt in the new testament that fornicators won't see heaven. Therefore the Church should be able to instill this teaching and discipline those who are guilty... It's wrong to make sexuality pass for immorality. Btw did they force u to marry in Church?

netizenbuzz:


Please let us call a spade a spade. It is not about the church, it is about what is right in the sight of God. Now whose value will you hold on to?

netizenbuzz:


Traditional marriage is marriage and no scripture stands against it. Educate yourself. I was going to say don't fornicate until I read that they have already done trad. Besides, it takes two to comot fornication.

dioman:


The church should look beyond pregnancy test, virginity test should be encourage...

sarutobie:

Point taken.. I am just pointing out the fallibity of such doctrine..the Bible said"do not define the matrimonial bed"..now did a man and woman who got the blessing of their parents and did the necessary rites before intercourse defile the bed?? I think not..why then will a church judge them to be defaulters because they have been blessed with the fruit of the womb..but judges the other couple fit to be wedded? So couple A and couple B have sex after their traditional marriage rites,but couple B is guilty because they got pregnant? Amazing logic..

SIRTee15:


Couples that have performed the established traditional wedding rite.......
The man has paid the bride price n the woman's family has accepted it.
Now u re telling me they are committing fornication.
You are sick.
