Johnson5258:
Your head is correct. Deuteronomy 6:16 King James Version (KJV)
16 Ye shall not tempt the Lord your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.

Scientific testing of God’s perfect work instead of absolute trust is the temptation of the Lord here, by fake gods of men who can’t see spiritual things.

Really? Yeah!

cheeyoma:
I think it's a good one. Considering that the church preaches abstinence, some people with genital issues (those who know) hide it from their intended spouses knowing fully well that they'll only find out when they get down after marriage. RCCG is looking out for their own. The catholic church even uses this as a basis for dissolution of marriages.

As far as I am concerned, this is not overboard. If you don't hear cases of willful deception in marriages, only then would you not support this.

Some months ago, I heard the case of a brother who got married to a sister on the recommendation of a woman of God. After marriage, sister no gree make brother see her unclothedness. Brother didn't make a fuss but went ahead to install CCTV cameras in the house.

He found out that sister had no breasts!!!! They had been cut off because she had battled cancer about a year before he met her. Brother later found out that the woman of God who recommended the sister to him knew about it all along!

You don't need a prophet to tell you that that marriage has been dissolved. So if this step will prevent occurrences like that, then I am in total support of it!

RCCG Pastors should be able to see vision or discern spirit when they see an intending
couple that one of them do not have private part na

That's good but do you realise that a god can even be your evil thought that sucks away your faith? which means you aren't serving God again? which He is jealous about.

How will you see the fire without the scientific process developed by people who may be atheists?
Abi na redeem develop the tests ni

the church is not saying that it must be the pastor or Evangelist that will carry out the test but if they have a good doctor that can do it good and fine.

Lol...na small-small. they will soon get to our standard: fvckk before you marry!

Save yourself the trauma...marriage is meant to be enjoyed and not endured.

seguno2:


If the pastors can see witches and prophesise prosperity, please why can’t they identify impotent men and infertile women through their spiritual lens?
Why wait for scientific tests developed by people who may not even believe in God?
Are you saying that they are fake gods of men

They're beginning to realise they can't rely on visions and prophesies again o

All what you people are saying is rubbish do you knw how many cases they are facing with their married members of the church? I have a friend which he knw he has low sperm count he did nothing to treat it, he went ahead and marry this innocent girl this is seven good years no child. So tell me where RCCG went wrong.

I apologize in advance oo but which one is genital test?
To know if your d.I.c.c.c.k is actually a d.I.c.c.k or what?

I can’t believe it.
Ayam not understanding!
Why do they expect their congregation to continue relying on visions and prophecies but the Ogas can’t

Abi oh.
Simple and easy matter.
If they can see vision for more complicated issues of witches and generational curses, why do they need scientific tests for blokos matter

Wolves in sheep skin.
They are everywhere.
How can an internal memo find its way into the public space.
And whats even wrong with it.

Why should a man suffer from the consequence of abortion that took the womb of his intended wife and vise versa?!

balaclava:
When I wanted to get married, it wasn't my family, or my spouse's family or friends or money or materials or any other thing that gave me problem. It was this church that gave me the biggest problem, stress and headache of my wedding.

I quickly abandoned them and arranged for a court wedding.

No time Abeg.

No be by church wedding.

You did well jare. No time to waste time

I think it is a good one. A lot of people get married knowing they cannot have children. They wait till after the wedding to speak up and now expect the spouse to accept it since they are already married.

I don't understand this memo. They should have defined "genital status".

Will doctors also measure the length, width and depth of genitals? Is this going to be a medical-related or a physical examination? Talking about the physical, will RCCG set a benchmark for an ideal d.ck? What happens when a brother measures below the benchmark?

RCCG is merely looking for more wahala. This table they're shaking will result to something beyond their control. The only true test for sexual performance is SEX between two adults.

They probably see it as necessary wahala because of the so many cases they have to settle on a daily or weekly basis. They wouldn't bring this up if there was no probable cause. It's different if the spouses know what they are getting themselves into and agreeing to go ahead with the marriage. But if they are unaware of a certain medical condition, it could spell doom for the marriage, giving the pastors too much trouble in the process

How will they test a church brother? Hospital to engage the services of olosho to see if bro can rise to the occasion.
I don't blame them sha there are so many bobriskys around now.

Nbote:
Dis is arrant nonsense... So where's d faith dey preach about in their churches or dey no longer believe in d miracles dey preach about? Dis is becoming really embarrassing.. I think these churches shld jus stick to d bible and it's teachings and leave other issues for trained professionals. Rubbish. How many of d churches comes to d financial aids of their members despite d stupid members abiding by all their useless rules jus to please dem.



So those who have naturally occurring health conditions what happens to dem? D fibroid tests U carry out on members, what happens wen a member is actually diagnosed with it? Do U treat dem? I have a family friend is wedding next month and I have been pissed at some of d numerous hypocritical conditions U ppl attach for members intending on marrying in d church. Most of these these are absolutely irrelevant. Imagine lots of pastors coming jus to inspect a wedding dress?? Asking a couple to write attestation letter on how dey are sure dey want to marry? What happens to all d forgiveness, faith, and "new creature in Christ" teachings? Mary Magdalene was a slut and Jesus dared anyone to cast d first stone. Jus advice d couples to do d needful and dat will b u playing ur part, not imposing stuffs on dem.

chai!!!!!!!!!

Know ur status, genotype and treat std if any no go marry like 5 Yr olds wey de play mummy and daddy

Nbote:


Seriously d govt needs to start taxing dem since dey have decided to delve into issues dat doesn't concern dem. Anyone who is interested in marrying, go and do d traditional marriage rites and if ur church refuses Bleep dem and go to d courts and have a court wedding or simply invite a Pastor to ur wedding venue to perform d ceremony. A white wedding is simply a mere formality and there is nothing like a church/Christian wedding even in d bible

Are you sure you are potent

I can not say what RCCG has done is good or bad. who am l? But I taught when a brother or a sister has seen someone he or she wants to marry, they are told to pray and seek counsel from God if the person is his wife or her husband first. What if both have prayed or probably it is show to the pastor in a vision by God that they are destined to be couple. Then prior to the marriage this so call test is conducted and it is now stated "scientifically" that they are not compatible. Which side will the church support, God's given vision or the scientific report? I know God performs things beyond human reasoning which we call miracle. All the miracles we have seen or heard him performed are beyond scientific explanation. What if the intention of God is to use them as a point of miracle which could even trigger many to even believe more in God? Have you forgotten God uses what is not to shame or surprise what is? And one other thing, that you are tested and found potent or free even before marriage does not mean after the marriage you will be potent or something evil will not occur. What if something now happened after the marriage such the one of the couple is affected? There could be a case whereby an accident occurred thereby rendering the man impotent, so of what use is the test you have conducted before the marriage. That which you wanted to prevent has now occurred after the marriage. how will you handle that? We should sometimes use something for something because what I have seen here is like wanting to use science to do what should have been done by the church itself which claims to believe in God through vision, "abi nna no dey see vision ni". This brings me to the story of Uzzah in the book of 2 Samuel. Read 6:6. Only God is wonderful in counsel.

MemphisRaynes:
I aint a member of RCCG nor a fan of Adeboye, but I do admire this rule, its only a mere test to prevent deception that may end up breaking a marriage in the long run, if intending couples know their genital status and decide to go ahead to get married irrespective of a negative result, it will be an informed decision.

Yeah it's good. Just that from genital status, this will lead to trying to know other status that will cause wahala. This is Nigeria.

What led to all of this? This is because individuals who calls themselves Christian are not mature enough spiritually to discern what is right and what is wrong. In mans quest to be led man totally forget they will surrender their freedom to such leaders. What will such leaders do to such freedom given to them? They continually legislate and use authority to subject those under their leadership knowing too well their followers are too weak to decide simple matters on marriage including those bordering on premarital activities. Christians are becoming too weak to read, meditate and ponder hard on the scriptures they carry about. They want to go the easy way, everything in black and white written for them. Unfortunately they will still have difficulty applying the policies their denomination is giving them.

1 Cor 7:23 ..........Stop becoming slaves of men, you are bought with a heavy price. Policies, decrees like this only makes you as a Christian relinquish some of the freedom Christ bought for you at a high price. Policies like these not supported scripturally will only make Christian under this denomination enslaved, hardened, disillusioned towards issues bordering on premarital activities.
So where is the faith, where is the love? These are the qualities that should supersede all this minor issues. Issues that should never be legislated upon in the christian community. It seems Christians never really love one another, its just loved expressed from a distance after all because love as described in
1 Cor 13:5-7 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Keywords:does not dishonor other........ Self seeking....not delight in evil......always trust.......always hope....... Romans 13:10 loves does no harm to a neighbour. Whose is that neighbour.....your partner in marriage to be........intending marriage spouse........
key all these into this latest policy or decree you will agree the policy becomes meaningless.

Personally, I think this should be an agreement between the couples. The church or pastors shouldn’t be involved in the test.

You guys are getting it wrong.Because,pre-marital sex and divorce is not allowed in RCCG.Lots with medical and physical challenges have hidden under this guise to deceive their partner and realities to be found after the wedding night.So,either of the couple can't divorce untill death seperate them

[To prevent this,the elder council came out with this rule to prevent such deceit into marriage.If either of the spouse reveals the problem and his/her partner agree to go ahead with the relationship and agreed to pray,its another keg of tea.quote author=ajadematanle post=67785732]You guys are getting it wrong.Because,pre-marital sex and divorce is not allowed in RCCG.Lots with medical and physical challenges have hidden under this guise to deceive their partner and realities to be found after the wedding night.So,either of the couple can't divorce untill death seperate them

This is a welcome development to me.
I see nothing wrong in it. Marriage is not to be founded on lies or pretense if it must stand the test of time hence, it is very essential to know each others genital status before delving.
When you know and still decided to go on, then you won't have anyone to blame fir the outcome
