femidejulius:Apart from opening yourself to criticism, you've shown yourself up to be very stupid too. There are so many references to marriage in the Bible: Mark 10 VS 8 to 9; 1 Corinthians 7:1 - 7:40 - Ephesians 5:22 - 5:33 - Ephesians 5:25 - 5:33 Just to mention a few. Secondly, you're confusing "wedding" with "marriage". Wedding is a ceremony, marriage is an institution. The Bible laid down the template of a Christian marriage as the voluntary union of a man and woman for the rest of their lives. What manner of ceremony they choose in solemnising their union does not matter as long as the SUBSTANCE of the union complies with Biblical standards. I sense you are not a Christian and that may account for your ignorance. And if indeed you call yourself a Christian, it is possible you may be living a lie. Read the Bible well before disparaging it, or God's wrath will abide on you. |

femidejulius:In Anglican church wedding, u pay about 10k for marriage certificate. U give all the presiding priests money average of 10k. U give all d priests food n drinks as well, that's all I can remember. @ Least about 30k don go. Thieves |

femidejulius:Hi. this question has been on my mind for a really long time now and i checked here for some clues sometime ago. I agree with you that traditional wedding was what was accepted in tge bible times and infact its true. But these were mainly in the old testament and even in the new testament when the body of christ which is the church was still growing, it was not recognised yet as an institution that binds couples together. But if we are in christ and are new creatures in him, i strongly believe that the church wedding is the most important wedding. I also want to ask but i do have an idea.. is court wedding recognised by God also? |

TruthHurts1:Even court marriage? |
| Re: How Biblical Is Church Wedding? by charlsecy(m): 10:38am On Dec 06, 2015 |
Traditional marriage is the regular marriage. White wedding is done just to fulfill church requirements, and for registration purposes. |

nnahernest:Jesus did not set any standard for marriage because he didn't marry, did he? Don't drag Jesus into this, the OP is talking about the practice of some churches that is discouraging and driving people away from church. So you think because nobody poured libations during your traditional wedding you are not connected to your ancestors? It's not libations that connect us but our blood, libation is just a ritual. How can it be traditional wedding without ancestral connection and recognition? Ancestors does not always connote evil, after all Abraham, Jesus and all the ascended and departed masters are part of the ancestors.. and one day we all shall be ancestors. |

As u said is ur personal opinion but let remind u is not evrytin that we do as Christian that is recorded in the bible. Secondly, the Church is there to help us or quide to live a good moral life. Thirdly, if ur're born again in Christ Jesus it is presumed that u have leave ur old life (including traditional belief) and embraced d new life. |
| Re: How Biblical Is Church Wedding? by Francislms(m): 10:49am On Dec 06, 2015 |
@OP I agree with you hundred percent. church wedding in Nigeria is actually western ( English) wedding. How does the churches ascertain who has fornicated b4 wedding just because the are not pregnant Wedding in church is not a crime, but try as much as possible to treat all the same. preach against the sin as stated in the bible , but do not push them further into sin because you want to be holier than the pope. Jesus came for the sinners and not the righteous, so the we will not perish. Food for thought. |
| Re: How Biblical Is Church Wedding? by ibisko04: 10:50am On Dec 06, 2015 |
femidejulius:You are absolutely right. Church wedding is never a biblical obligation. Church wedding is a doctrine derived from roman ethical ceremony of celebrating union of two lovers. Anybody that think he or she needs church wedding before their union is blessed does not know anything. The day your father and mother with the blessings of their families pray and consented to your union, that is the day Almighty God knows and bless your marriage. |

adjoviomole:A Lot of Christians tend to be holier than God and Jesus. Be it known to you that fornication ain't an unforgivable sin. It Si equal in weight to any other sin you commit daily. White wedding has no place in the bible as traditional marriage is what is recommended. There is no record of any wedding held in a church in the bible. Search the holy bible well and be guided. |

TruthHurts1:Being a xtian doesnt mean u should swallow everytn a pastor tells u hook line and sinker. Even d bible says u should test every spirit. Meanwhile,op was talking about wedding,and how d church is making it look like if u dont do it it in the churxh den u r condemned,and d way dey turn it into money making venture,wch I was a victim. So,d truth is we r just copying the white mans tradition. One can actually choose not to have his wedding in any church,and invite a pastor to a hall for blessing of marriage after havijg their engagement and court weddings....shikenah! |

nnahernest:Who told you that until libations are poured on the ground before you get connected to your ancestors. The blood that is flowing in your body make you connected and you can do nothing about it. It's because we African descendants don't understand our priorities that makes us remains the backwards continent of the world. All the gadgets you are using today are made by those who know how to connect with their ancestors. With all sense of humility, kindly forget about what you are taught and begins to do a lot of research on how things are evolving. Are we saying African Christians know God more than the Asians that are driving the world of technology today. How many countries in Asia that are as religious as we are in Nigeria particularly. The Almighty God is as it is yesterday today and tomorrow. |

I can't even begin to explain how much I detest this white wedding affair. The Orthodox Christians are the major culprits. Na them carry am for head. If the issue is about blessing the union, I see no reason why a priest or pastor can't do same right after the couple has been joined by the bride's father. The day I uttered this to some pals of mine,male and female alike, I could see smoke shooting out of their ears. I guess I will never understand the craze behind this fad. Some monkeys even go as far as saying that their marriage anniversaries' dates are those of their white wedding,thereby rendering the bride price payment unnecessary. I just tire for ourselves jare. We complain about wedding expenses but na we dey do ourselves. |
