Evince:
whats the importance of being wedded by a minister? The last time i checked, our parents or guidance are our god on earth of which with their consent and proclamation the deal is done

Are you a Christian?

Evince:
that u are christian doesnt mean that ppl that dont share ur belief and marry in their own choicest way are not married na

I never implied anything like that. It would be a very stupid assumption. I'm only trying to clarify issues to people who claim to be Christians and yet feel they don't need to be wed by a minister of God.

Evince:
so why must church decide whether to approve ur traditionally wedded wife?

Because I am a Christian.

Evince:
are u amrrying for the church or for ur own family

For myself

Etizz:
Thank u for making me to understand you point, but, do you mean after traditionally, God still will not accept me as married?

He won't.

Etizz:
So u mean after traditional marriage yet you are not husband and wife Abi?

So what are they?

U be dey make sense before until u mention that.... Trust me, u fukkd up over that statement...

Emphasis on in the eyes of God. You're husband and wife in your traditional community. But if you're a Christian, the Church does not consider you married. It's as simple as that.

Ishilove:
Yes. Why do you ask?

And yet you think Church wedding is irrelevant?

Ishilove:
PREACH

Ishi, are you a Christian?

Eaa247:
was Moses a Christian?
are Jewish tradition Christian traditions?
u mixed things up. Remember Judaism and Christianity are two different religions.
The truth is 'white wedding' was no where recorded in the Bible.
White wedding is a borrowed European idea.
I am not against it but I am not doing it.
Marriage is just getting d consent of both parents and paying the dowry

African traditional marriage is also not recorded in the Bible. Don't mix things up. And Christianity is reformed Judaism.

castiello:
I do not know why an increasing number of couples in our society are choosing not to legally marry, but we are doing them no good by rejecting them.

Let us instead welcome them, treat them as if they were married, and advocate for the benefits of public religious ritual and legal status.[color=#006600][/color]

They are the ones not doing themselves any good. You can't claim to belong to an organization and yet not follow it's rules and yet except to be treated as though you did. You may as well ask traditional communities to accept such couples as married.
No one is forcing anyone to perform any marriage rites but such couples would do well not to expect the benefits a married couple expects from the community.

Also, there are a lot of ceremonies performed in the church today not depicted literally in the Bible. So we might as well just go back to the Mosaic way of doing things.

My people suffer because of lack of knowledge and understanding.

I'mma throw some light on this so that those who really desire to be enlightened can benefit.

Once you profess to be a Christian, you must be wedded by a minister of God. It's not negotiable. Anyone claiming to be a Christian and yet does not recognize this fact is ignorant of his faith. Now, you may come at me with where "white wedding" is written in the Bible. I tell you brethren, if you insist on following the Bible verbatim, without interpretations, then your wedding should be done in the Jewish fashion with a priest descended directly from the line of Aaron and ye must meet all the conditions set by Moses as he received them from God.
Now, if you care for an interpretation, God has always given his followers directions on how to follow him. And if you read the Gospel, you'll remember Jesus telling his apostles "Whatever you have bound here on earth is bound in heaven and whatever you dissolve here on earth is dissolved in heaven". So if a minister of God does not bind your marital union, my dears, heaven does not consider your union bound.

Now to face the history teachers who suddenly know what gown Queen Victoria wore on her wedding day, the Christian wedding is not an indigenous western tradition. They adopted it just like us. Before most of Europe became Christians, they practiced rituals such as hand fasting, blood oaths, wine sharing (this one should sound familiar), and many other unique practices. They abandoned all these for the Christian wedding ceremony while retaining the reception ceremony. And even that has undergone different changes over the years and is different in different countries all over the world.
So, if you are going to be annoyed at any ceremony, it should be the reception. But good news, it's absolutely unnecessary. So you are absolutely under no requirements to do it.

On a final note, traditional marriage still remains important because WE still hold on to its significance. After much headache involving legitimacy of both marriage and offspring begotten, The Church often requires you to perform the traditional ceremony so as to avoid stories that touch for you or your kids. But still remember that you're not husband and wife in the eyes of God until His minister has blessed your union.

Lastly, the guys saying 75% of church marriages crash, where did you come up with these statistics? We need to see your research files.

clefstone:
Anybody that follows Nigerian artists(with a few exceptions) as role model is doomed. What do they inspire apart from drug abuse, unhealthy sex life and music without sense

Actually, you just described majority of artists all over the world.

mrMeen:
its passion man its passion gaming is my light something that will always put a smile on my face.

Same here

mrMeen:
You know i love gaming as much as i lobe breathing wanted to buy a ps4 then i calculated the cost of buying games and the cost of using fuel to power the gen and the cost of subscription to play online man i just jejely stick to my ps3 and mobile games.

But really does anybody knows how my heart aches when i see people playing zero dawn and god of war and uncharted and spider man and last of us and and and, excuse me please.

Your case is even better. My last console was a PS2. You sef wey get PS3 come dey cry pass me

YoungBlackRico:
If you're not a dunderhead, no offense, you'd notice in my reply to him where I mentioned that it's his prediction anyway, his choice.

Oh! I did. Right after you called his prediction "bull".

I so love Becky Lynch............ and her shoes.

WaywardSon:
mic drop achievement unlocked. You sound so juvenile. You've won the cup fanboy

E pain am

YoungBlackRico:
Choice bro.

Isn't it funny how y'all pull out the "choice" sign after dissing another person's choice?

pu7pl3:
Randy orton issa sadistic crazy motherfvcker

Talk about twisted. He's working the kind of matches we should expect from Ambrose. I don't mean sinister behavior but crazy antics like that screwdriver stunt.

pu7pl3:
Men this mixed match challenge is even more fun than the last one...there is no heel or hero Just pure fun

Men Rtruth issa legend I swear

Kevin Owens is still a heel even on MMC.

pu7pl3:
Who do you think is the bad guy in this rusev and english storyline?

Cos i think wwe has a serious problem on making heels and faces

They're forcing an unnecessary heel turn. So they're overselling Aiden English's villainy. Can't say who's side I'm on for now. Let's let the feud develop

WaywardSon:
realised how far you guys have gone in playing games. Im just a regular gamer who balances life and other things. I've played injustice and Arkham series and recognised these as games that appeal to mainstream gamers not zealous fanboys. To be honest I've not even played the other DC titles i listed here. They are way to linear and appeal to hardcore fans. If we really wanted to list we could've gone way into the 90's with games from both companies. But my point is that until spiderman ps4 came out (which btw I take back my utterances. It's a great game with good mechanics. And I'm planning to order) DC Has been in the driving seat with recognizable games that appealed to everyone. Just my 2 cents

4 titles in a series staring the same character. That's your definition of being in the driver's seat.
You're not even a regular gamer. You're just a FIFA/PES player who occasionally plays action games. A regular gamer would know about Marvel Vs Capcom, or even Deadpool. A mainstream gamer would know about the Telltales GOTG and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance.
The DC titles you listed aren't linear. They sucked. Big time. Except DC Universe Online and MK Vs DC. Those were good games. Due to your ignorance of video games, you probably just posted whatever you found on the internet. You couldn't even list Telltales' Batman and Justice League Heroes. You're just a Jon Snow in this field, bro.
*Drops mic*

Gmajor:
SMH
You read/saw the source material and now, you are complaining that the movie is predictable. WTF!!!

He can at least tell us witch storyline(s) they'll be adapting

hulk616:
10k too small, if you've read ms marvel origin, secret wars, and watched avengers earths mightiest heroes animated series, you will understand why I said the movie is too predictable.

Quit thr arguments. Give us the detailed plot, since it's so predictable, and win the money. You can use it for recharge cards or snacks if it's too small.

WaywardSon:
No Marvel game has or ever will win game of the year. Mark these words fools

You would think that in the age of Google, people wouldn't be insulting themselves by displaying lazy ignorance.
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance is a GOTY winner.
Can you sink any lower than this?

WaywardSon:
infinite crisis. Young justice legacy, DC Universe online, mortal kombat Vs DC universe, superman returns
Like I said -9 IQ

X-Men: Legends
Guardians of The Galaxy: The Telltale Series
The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance
Deadpool


P.S: Where are the games I haven't heard of? Thought you said you'll list games I haven't heard of before.

WaywardSon:
games for fanboys. Jeez how can I even explain this for your iq. The only big name there is spiderman ps4. Nothing else but crap. You can hardly find any joey who hasn't played or hard of arkham series or injustice or mk vs dc universe.
If your -9 IQ still can't understand please Holla so we can now leave the quality debate and make this about sheer numbers. So I'll murder you with the number of dc games yo funny asss has never even heard off

You're a kid if you don't know X-Men: Mutant Academy.
You're not a gamer if you don't know the Marvel Vs Capcom Series.
I dare you to list other DC games apart from Arkham and Injustice. We'll compare them with other Marvel games apart from Marvel Vs Capcom and Spiderman. Let's see which company has more successful games.

Shittaakeem:
The dude never play any of the game he listed

I don't even think he's a gamer. Listing critically and commercially failed games "to shut me down." I laugh in Kryptonian. Probably just did a lazy search

Michelle55:
I just weak... Why expose the property of one man to the whole world all in the name of fashion? Is it that if you cover up properly, no man will find you attractive or desirable? Let's learn to dress properly because that's where the real attraction lies.
You don't expect a sane man to pay for what everyone including him had seen free of charge during your fashion madness.

Is it your man? Is it your fashion? Why don't you just do you and allow other people make their own decisions?

WaywardSon:
Arkam knight and injustice rapes all those childish games you listed. Nobody plays Nintendo ds prick.
Mortal kombat vs dc universe
Dc unchained
Infinite Crisis. To shut you down

Who's this noob? Did I list any Nintendo exclusive? Spiderman is currently being shipped as a potential GOTY. None of the Injustice games can achieve the classic status of Marvel Vs Capcom 2.
X-Men: Mutant Academy
Marvel's Ultimate Alliance
The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction. To shut you up.

P.S: Seriously bruv, you're horrible at this. Quit before you insult yourself any further.

Nomad of Nowhere
Fell in love with Skout at first sight. Her character trope isn't really original but maybe I'm a sucker for US southern accents. Rooster Teeth's ability to make the Nomad adorable while mute is to be commended. Between Don Paragon & Red Manuel, I don't know who I love to hate more.

The Dragon Prince
That commentary for blind viewers in the first episode almost broke my heart. I was wondering where else I could source episodes with proper audio. Fortunately, the mishap is only in the first episode. The plot is forming up nicely. Good to hang with Sokka again. Or at least, his voice. The creators are always ingenious at creating lovable animal companions. Seems I'm going to be longing for more episodes by the time I'm done.

hulk616:
I dont understand marvel again their cgi is getting bad like DC. And marvel movies stories are too predictable.

Let's play a game. Predict the entire plot of Captain Marvel and if you're 50% right when it releases next year, I owe you #10,000.

WaywardSon:
great didn't dissapoint. What else are they gonna gloat with? After nearly 5 years of delay the looooooong awaited ps4 game finally dropped. (Yawns) marvels biggest video game till date.

Injustice Gods amongst us
Arkham Knight
Injustice 2. These are hits mofo

Is that how you want to play it?
Marvel Vs Capcom
Marvel Vs Capcom 2
Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3
Spiderman 2. These are hits as well, MOFO.
