Wedding in the church on it's own is unholy and unscriptural!


Case dismissed!

Practice ur culture stop practicing wester culture it had done more harm than good. Our marriage ceremony does not include kissing. Kissing is western tradition. I wonder why people after completing traditional wedding also go further to do white wedding filled with its controversies. After traditional marriage u only go to church to bless ur marriage. Tnx

Where in the Bible does it say, thou shall not kiss the bride? We in Africa love to invent our own version of godliness.
Kissing I would believe, is a Jewish way of showing love. When Judas kissed Jesus, it was to pretend that he loved him.
Hence, as long as Christianity is acceptable to us, we cannot pick and choose what part of that way of life to follow.

The Bishop of Niger Delta West Diocese, Rt Rev. (Dr) Emmanuel Oko-Jaja, has said the act of kissing the bride in the church during their wedding service is unscriptural, unholy and therefore be discouraged, Tribune reports.

Shedding more light on the issue, Oko-Jaja further explained that unwholesome practices that are taking place in churches during matrimonial services promotes immorality and corrupt the mind of especially teenagers that are in church to witness the practice.

Dr Oko-Jaja expressed his displeasure while delivering a sermon during the child presentation and Thanksgiving Service of the baby, Woyengilayefa Godfriend Atasi at St Mark’s Anglican Church, Biogbolo in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.

The Clergyman who premised his sermon on 1 Kings 22:1-28 also warned Christians to be wary of false prophets in sheep clothing who are intensifying their efforts at derailing believers.


He further explained that the act letting the Groom kiss the bride in the full glare of both the young and old persons gathered in the church to witness what is expected to be holy solemnisation of a wedding between a man and woman emanated from the teachings of false prophets.

He, therefore, enjoined all true believers to jealously guard against the antics of fake gospel preachers with their false prophecies of prosperity and protection from death, which they use as a bait to deprive unsuspecting Christians of their salvation.

“The practice where couples are allowed to kiss in the church during wedding service is unscriptural. I wish to direct clergymen and church workers in this Diocese to guard against such unholy conducts.

“According to the scriptures, the church is not supposed to serve as a place meant to promote immorality but encourage people to uphold and practice Christian virtues with a view to winning souls for Christ.”

Is the Church the Place for wedding, Hence there is no such thing as Church wedding. Marriage is tradition and culture.

I totally agree.

But trust humans. Dem go start to bash the man for saying the truth. Na pastors way dey deceive them dem dey like.
Nobody Is Bashing The Bishop But He Just Want To Trend Too, Thank God He Got What He Wanted ! Remember Bible Admonish Us To Give Each Other A Holy Kiss.
