asuustrike2009: Consider also Exodus 22 : 16. And since the GOD of all creation in HIS wisdom and holiness makes provision for fornicators to get married (giving the fact that pregnancy can take place within minutes after sexual intercourse) where did pastors and priests derive their self-righteous dogma to deny these sets of people church marriage? Who even ordained them to conduct marriage? Certainly not GOD. |

asuustrike2009: What was supposed to be a blessing or pray over for the married christian couple after or during traditional marriage by a priest or pastor has long been hijacked by power-hungry clergymen to gain more control and influence over the people |

TheUmbra:The question hasn't be answered. There's no Bible backing for blessing of marriage or church wedding. The alleged pastors are doing so because most Christians don't study their Bible and ask questions. Left for me once the bride price has being paid,the intending couples are joined together which is scriptural. All op is saying wouldn't change anything until we go back to what the Bible says. 1 Like 1 Share |

TheUmbra:I feel like giving you some of my snails for this wonderful remarks especially the bolded. When I was to get married, upon meeting my wife's pastor. I told him I was not interested in church "white" wedding. He didn't debate knowing no biblical fact as I questioned. Africans have lost it. 1 Like 1 Share |

asuustrike2009: You're absolutely right. Even the blessing of marriage is the parents' responsibility, not even that of a priest or pastor. |

Pavarottii:Wait, did Jesus die on the cross for you to live and be comfortable in sin? Jesus died to give you and i a new life and the grace which is enabled by the Holy Spirit to overcome sin and satan, not to continue in it. Godbless. |
Re: It Is Unchristian To Deprive A Couple Marriage On Account Of Pregnancy by 701ecilana: 4:12pm On Jul 30, 2017 |
Pavarottii:I don't understand pls. You mean all our sins are forgiven so we can free continue in them? Shall we continue in sin so that grace can abound? God for bit. Romans:6:1-2 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Jesus didn't die for you to continue in sin. He kept saying, 'Go and sin no more'. |

Is church wedding biblical? When Jesus turn water into wine in that wedding in the Bible was it in synagogue or at the parents of the brides place? In as much the church doesn't criticize you if you do only traditional marriage why criticizing the church for their stand against pregnancy before church wedding. The church must not go bend in their laws just to please you. Every institution or organization has their rules and regulations to adhere to likely the church is no exception. If you're pregnant knowing the church position why not opt for the easy way instead of making yourself to be condemned or ridicule by the church. Go for a traditional and full court wedding there after reception and even the church members will still attend. |

PrinceMario:Why should it even get to abortion? I don't get it. How are you not supporting fornication here? You are sir. Without fornication how will pregnancy come for you to start talking about murder? Do we even understand what SEX is to God? Do we really understand why we are called the Bride of Christ and He our groom? Anytime the Bible wants to explain his relationship with the Church, He uses man and a woman in marriage, why? Why do we have Children? Have you asked yourself this? Defilement everywhere. We men wants to just disobey and live as we like, okay. |

Oghumu1:My stance is against pre-marital sex which brings about the pregnancy, not even the pregnancy. The Op stance is encouraging sex outside of marriage hence insist that they be wedded. If folks are having sex outside of marriage but taking pills or using condom, they are sinner/fornicators deceiving themselves in Church. Oh, that we know the consequences of fornication, we won't encourage it. The worst sin before God is idol worship, and fornication to God is likened to idol worship. Adultery and fornication carries the same consequence. Let anyone who feels because nobody see him/her doing it not think he/she is safe, that sin is a two fold sin. You sin against God, and against yourself. Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit and God says anyone who defiles his temple shall be destroyed. |

mikedimeji:Pls don't bring King David into this matter o. Go and read what he paid as a result of his action. His actions caused a human life. The child died, that's grievous. If we should go by that, the child in the womb of the lady who insists she be wed with pregnancy should die to pay for that sin? Abeg nah. |

It's obvious that certain People feel Jesus was wrong in stopping the Adulterer from being stoned and telling her "Neither do I condemn you, go and sin no more". They feel Jesus was condoning Adultery. . These people accuse you of condoning fornication because you allowed a pregnant lady marry who impregnated her in the Church. Yet these people have not told me how they want to stop couples who use contraceptives or even aborted their pregnancy from having same marriage. 1 Like |

701ecilana: I would do no such thing. The SPIRIT of WISDOM has a different approach from man's way of enforcing righteousness. Remember, those people in CHRIST's days who thought they were strict and pious had their beliefs thrown on their faces when JESUS came into the picture..; Feasting with sinners Correct the Sabbath misconception Preaching love, forgiveness repentance not condemnation and ostracization. HE demonstrated this with HIS encounter with the adulteress, even with the thief who repented just at the expiration of his life. You win people over (to CHRIST) by love. Teach them to understand how GOD loves them and how to love GOD back. Now, let me go back to the question; If you believe the warped dogma of some churches (only GOD knows where they get the idea from) that says marrying a pregnant woman to the husband means joining three people in marriage because the woman is pregnant, then you must also forbid a husband to have sex with his pregnant wife because it means the man is joining himself to two other people. |

Mine is for the lady who is bringing her village's custom in this discussion. According to her, her father will not give her out in marriage if she is pregnant unless she has delivered. Well that's her custom. In my place, I can pay dowry for a girl I impregnayed while she is still with the child. And my people claim to come from Israel cos our marital custom closely resemble that of the jewish. Now whose custom should be followed in this debate? 1 Like |

Sincerely, whats the argument here?! Church/Institution: We do not believe in premarital sex and will not encourage it in any way. Couple: It's a bit cold...body dey do me somehow. They eventually end up having sex, maybe once, maybe a couple times but it ends up in pregnancy. Couple then goes to the church asking them to drop whatever laid down rules they have and wed them. This is plain silly and disrespectful! How do you judge the church/institution without judging the couple? Why not just do your traditional and court marriage and live happily ever after?! Church wedding or blessing is not compulsory but if you insist, then respect their rules. Usually, when I don't agree with some doctrine ma of a church and I believe it may lead to a clash, I quietly pack my bible and leave. I am sure there are some churhes that may wed them so they should go searching rather than acting silly. MODs, please close this thread biko. |
