I see some sense in what she says

but op has no gender

Is anything at all compulsory?

Tberry01:
it's her own point of view, but I will surely do mine

Why would you want to do a church wedding?

Geesaintagape:
Nice talk 100% truth.
Anglican church okwe asaba does not wed who does not pay tithe .
I have questioned d biblical backing no answer answer yet

I did not know this but I'm sure they're not on the only house of religious fraud that does this.

It's all a money grab.

Traditional or court weddings should suffice. No need for the church to stick their hands into your pockets even more than they normally do.

Nothing but a factual words. Some people are religious captivist. In my observation

Ellabae:

Don't worry, after u do yours the flamboyant style...ur reasoning go change.

I would want us to be prayed for and annointed so we can equally marry in a chapel the size doesn’t matter however the important thing is are the principles in our heart or are they just words for themoment

can't u pray 4 urself and anoint urself? Is it another mans prayer and anointing that will make ur marriage succeed?

DavidEsq:

there will b still b family members who weren't killed due to bombings.

ariesbull:
The most important thing is have your marriage certificate


If you are married but you don't have a marriage certificate ..legal backing

My dear you aren't married but living in union



Just like claiming a graduate no certificate to show

Marriage certificates are also issued at Marriage registry (aka court wedding)

Compulsory? Church wedding is a sham and a fraud.

No pastor has authority pronouncing anyone husband and wife. This is one of the reasons wives respect their pastors more than their husbands

I’m not in the ministry I haven’t gone through bible school. People don’t give pastors credit every one focuses on the outer appearances but never on the actual knowledge they possess about the scripture this is knowledge that has been tested mind you.

We can both pray for ourselves doesn’t matter where but a Man Of God must be there

u c that's d problem. That's y pastors feel like gods cos things u can do 4 urself, u feel pastor must do 4u. U don't need 2go thru bible school or b in "ministry". All u need 2do is read ur bible so u can understand ur authority in d religion u profess

The walk with Christ isn’t just about reading the Bible alone it’s also about listening to his voice acting on faith and walking in love. You can’t say because you want to bless yourself another can’t have a Man Of God pray at her wedding

am not talking about ur walk with Christ am talking about exercising ur authority. Exercising ur authority is a function of what u no and ur knowledge comes from studying d Bible. D question is y would u want a "Man of God" to pray 4u at ur wedding? Cause u feel u need his prayer 4 ur marriage 2 succeed. Am I wrong?

No and that’s a negative way to look at it As a Man Of God he is a witness and it’s his presence a blessing towards but doesn’t mean the marriage won’t be blessed without it’s just something I want you know not everyone wants the same thing

u have just corroborated my point. What "presence" does a "Man of God" carry that u don't carry? U are trying 2 say without d "Man of Gods" presence ti bless u, then u aren't blessed. I don't no were that is in d bible. Am not saying u shouldn't want certain things but u are making ur blessing 4 ur life&marriage a function of what a pastor does or doesn't do 4u. That's y I said u need 2 read ur Bible to no ur authority

I think your reading too much into it it’s a blessing to me to have someone ordained in the ministry bless my marriage I pray for it daily so what your saying is Just besides the point I’m all about recognizing the gift in a Man Of God rather than thinking you alone can do all things.

SolutionsGuy:
Not only that it is not compulsory, it is in fact USELESS. It is copied, a duplication and a function of inferiority complex.
We have traditional marriage recognised by God, the law and even the bible. All marriages the bible made reference to are traditional weddings. Then some folks came and said we must wear suits and some useless gowns to the church before God approves our marriages. What a dumb thing.

No white does black marriage. Our traditional wedding is our black marriage their own traditional marriage is their white wedding but we like copying and make ours inferior leading to triple marriage.

1 our traditional wedding (black wedding)
2 their traditional wedding ( white wedding)
3 court wedding ( registration of marriage)

The person wey bewitched us strong

Valid.. No wedding is even mandatory

exactly.it's time and money wastage as far as I'm concerned and a licence for every deek and Harry in your church WHO assumes they're older than you to give you unsolicited advice and pry into your business or start reminding you after one week to get pregnant aka womb watchers.abeg I no dey for church drama filled with religious and cultural dogmas

am not reading too much into it. U can't do all things alone neither can u attribute to someone authority over ur life&destiny when u also have that same authority. That's my point. D same gift u say d man of God has, u also have. What are u, aren't u a woman of God? U&ur pastor are both products of redemption with d same access&gifts. D problem is that he is more conscious of that fact but u arent

Bro, you are not sure of what u just typed... I don't blame you too for thinking that, because that is probably what you have been made to believe.

The Anglicans in Nigeria(the one I'm sure of) don't record tithes. The church doesn't know who pays and who doesn't pay.

What she records is Stewardship, and it is a free will cash paid to your parish, that identifies you to be a member.

NB: A lot of people think this stewardship is actually tithe, because they are actually collected same time during church service. The Sunday Matins conductor announces them same time and two collection boxes are dropped one is for tithe(which the priest will usually advice you to do, but not compel u) and the other Stewardhip(which is recorded, and considered important, but must be a free will contribution and not one tenth)

Pls do well to ask your priest questions or attend Friday classes if you are an Anglican so you can ask the Elders of your parish. As an Anglican do well to attend the Friday classes, that is where the church traditions, 39 Articles of Anglican Faith and Anglicanisn are taught and questions on important issues discussed for the growth of the church.

Thank u
