chachal: Wish him quick recovery. Reminds me of oscar pistorius's intruder story. Crime rate is so high in SA
Crime rate is ten times higher in Nigeria than SA.

It's just that in Nigeria , its not reported and many people don't bother with reporting it to the police. According to reports, Nigeria is second to Brazil as the kidnapping capital of the world.

bukatyne: I guess a woman pregnants herself. Naija people are filled with sin and Hypocrisy
No one is saying women are to blame. Although I think women are willing participants in getting pregnant unless you are raped.


i think many people just jump and comment without reading and understanding the context of the topic.

They cannot test a man can they ? No. So they have to test the woman. It's meant to be a deterrent to promiscuity .

There are a lot of people on NL with low IQ. I think its a disgrace that prople can not reason and construct valid arguments.

lacidi: The hypocrisy in your post made you to forget that all you need is to sleep with 1 man and not every man on the block, for you to get pregnant. Can you honestly say you are a virgin? Can you swear you did not have sex with your finacee b4 marriage? Hypocrites.
[size=14pt]You are calling me a hypocrite even though you are the one sleeping around and still want to get married in church . How can anyone respect you when you don't respect yourself enough to keep your body from sin[/size]?

To answer your question, I have not been intimate with a "financee" as I do not know what it is.

You are obviously intellectually and spiritually challenged so what can I say to you except ask you accept salvation FULLY not partially.

There are benefits in this policy:

It will reduce immorality
It will save lives (no more dodgy abortions)
It will reduce sexually transmitted diseases

Of course many ignorant people will not understand this.

eastermaris: Ur ignorance speaks in every line.Spare d rod and spoil d child.Are u saying there shld be no rules dat guide d church?. because all have sinned,so everyone shld go on a screwing spree of d opposite without caution? Its either u no christian or u simply a mo.ron!
Every religion kicks against pre-marital sex,wats wrong wit putting measures dat wld discourage it.It dosnt stop people frm getting pregnant b4 marriage,shld d living church(sure some churches re dead) den legalise it so dat people wnt commit abortn? Answer is 'NO'. Dats why some of such churches but measures in place.I wld drop one or two.
The church where my elder sist wedded made it clear to dem during counselling dat dey dnt wed pregnant women,and there was a preg test 3days b4 d wedding.D only option was if u are pregnant,put to bed first dem come to the church for blessing of marriage which automatically replaces a white wedding.A white weddind and dat veil on d woman signifies chastity and purity.If d couples decide to have sex secretly after d councelling b4 marriage thereby building there marriage on deceit,dats left for God to handle,but d church most play its role.
How can u preach against FORNICATION to ur youths in church and wed a 5months pregnant lady in d presence of d same youths?

Stop complicating christianity!
There are many other alternatives...satanism..paganism..hinduism..islam..etc

U cant repaint FORNICATION,pre-marital sex is FORNICATION and pregnancy b4 marriage is FORNICATION...and GOD hates FORNICATION.
I thank God for u!

d light: The marriage bed is supposed to b kept undefiled that's what d bible prescribes. So for any christian wedding this is expected to be adhered to.
Thank you. Poster @tete7000 please TAKE NOTE.

Please tell all the fake Christians on NL they are only deceiving themselves .

There is no grey area with God. You are either a Christian or you are not. Make up your mind today today to serve God fully and wholeheartedly .
Christianity EtcRe: Some Churches Carry-out Pregnancy Test Before Wedding: Why? by SELFWORTH:
tete7000: . Do u think as a human being u have the right to punish for God? Remember all have have sinned and fell short of Gods glory. Can u judge because ur sin are committed hidden while well exposed to God? U people never take a holistic view of the bible u claim u know. U pick one verse and base ur verdict on it. Christ came to set the sinners free. We are all like sheep each have gone his way but God place upon the punishment for our sins. No wonder heavven rejoice for a sinner that repents. Coming forward with pregnancy is a sign of repentance and resolve to live right henceforth. While does ur church stands betwEen people and their desire to reconcile with God. Maybe u ll choose they abort instaed and commit greater sin? Ignoramus.
I worked it out very quickly that :

1. You cannot be Christian. You are someone who thinks you are a Christian but your ways contradicts the bible.

2. You have engaged in sex before marriage and the way you were treated by the church is causing you to hold a lot of bitterness in your heart.

3. A Christian who makes excuses for sinning and lie to yourself that God is merciful so becos of that you can sin all you like.

Calling some one holier than thou and ignoramus gives you away in a big way. I guess these are words taken from your own version of the 'bible'.

Like poster@ mathewalab said Give your life to God and embrace salvation FULLY not on a part time basis or even as and when it suits you.

Every man is accountable to God and their conscience and I think yours is dealing with you. No one is forcing you to come and wed in their church, so go to your local mosque, registry or even your parlour with your 9 month pregnancy.

I wont bother responding to your insults especially now l know you are NOT a born again Christian. I dismiss your childish comments as being one of those that will perish becos of lack of knowledge or lies that God is merciful so let me continue to sin becos He will forgive me.

tete7000: . It is definitely clear you lack capability to undrstand the issue raised in my writeup no wonder u attend ur church. First no church condole immorality. Secondly a church is not a place of condemnation but of mercy. Thirdly God doesn't condemn, satan and sin do. Fourtly the marital vow even when taken with pregnancy remain a vow between the man and the woman, if u re not sure go to catholic church and obtain one. Names of the man and woman are specifically mentioned and nothing is mentioned of the baby. Finally even when baby starts coming after marriage God view family as a single unit of people, reason why catholic church keeps emphasising importance of raising children within Goddly families. And to add to this will your church accept convert who are pregnant while ignorant of gospel but now want to be born again if I may use ur slang? The bible says my people perish for lack of understandng. This is applicable to you and ur likes. Jesus exonerated the adulterous woman even while mosaic law demanded otherwise. You people are living under the law and not under grace. Too, too sad.
This is absolute nonsense .

Please what church do you attend?

What bible do you guys study in your church?

Poster @mathewalab said it all;
[b]
It is extremely sad that majority of those who have responded on this topic were fake christian who did not understand why they attend church services or being a CHRISTIAN.


A Christian is a little Christ( a follower of Christ, living and abiding with the principles of the word of God -BIBLE)
Please anytime we face with questions as regard our faith, the first question we should ask ourselves is - what is the position of the word of God - Bible?

Now, follow me to read: HEBREWS 13:4 "Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefilled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge"

Don Tim: Exactly why i said defeated purpose, at the end of it all we are only answerable to God.

It also suffice to say that most churches are only concerned with appearances. My opinion though.
"Most people" not churches. A church is made of human beings. It teaches the word of God but many will live their lives as they wish. The church cannot enforce righteous living on members. The word of God is supposed to bring change in the way live. People choose to live as they wish. Following God is by individual choice.

Not everyone who is called a Christian knows God or follow His teachings.

My church will not marry you but will come with you to the registry. If you decide to lie, you are lying to yourself and its between you and God.

Don Tim: Weighed the pros and cons

Conclusion :when am ready, wherever i find myself, there's always a way out.

But objectively, not viewing it from religious perspective or yet still, it's like crying over split m milk, preach and enforce abstinence hence no need for controversial test else its looks like a defeated purpose!
How can you enforce abstinence ?

Please enlighten me.

Everything the church does to encourage people to think twice before sleeping around is criticised by the same people who claim to worship God.

They want to live as the world does but be known as Christians. Is it possible?

naijababe: At the risk of stating the obvious, does it mean that Mary should not have been married to Joseph?! Just asking ni o
The post states that "churches carry out pregnancy test before wedding why?"... "She is asking whether this means Mary should not have been married to Joseph".

1. Are the churches doing the test to stop the wedding ? I don't think so becos you could easily have gone to the registry for your wedding. Why church ?
2. Did they have pregnancy test in those days?
3. Even a 6 year old in my Sunday school know that Mary was not impregnated by Joseph.
4. Mary was a virgin who was pregnant by the Holy Spirit. We are talking here about ordinary human beings who sell their bodies for peanuts. They sleep with any and all things. where is the similarity?

In my opinion, this question is trying to mock The Christian faith. Or it is possible she is just plain stupid.

bennynaza: Such 'churches' knw naught about d gospel of Christ or even if they do, chose to ignore it.

The essence of marriage is companionship. 'And GOD saw that it is not good for man to be alone...I will make him a helper'It was long after the above was accomplished that he blessed them to multiply.Being able to make babies aint the essence of marriage

Christianity EtcRe: Some Churches Carry-out Pregnancy Test Before Wedding: Why? by SELFWORTH:
booqee: In my own church, apostolic, it is absolutely against the doctrine to get married with pregnancy. Dats why during counselling, the couples would be probed on certain question and issues., they would ask if she's not pregnant. If u say she's not and they don't see any indication dat she's pregnant, they don't do pregnancy test,.they would just go on with the marriage. But the way the pastors would ask you these questions, u would not feel inclined to lie. And if u lied, they just believe its left to you and God. But no pregnancy test..no no.
Thank you.

If you live your life anyhow, will the pastor pay for it or the person.

People are not serving God with a pure heart. If you still want to be in the 'world' why bother with church? They want to continue to live in sin and expect the grace of God to abound. Well it won't happen.

Go and do parlour marriage or better still go to your local mosque with a 9 month old pregnancy.

Black Peni5: Yea...better to wait till the child is born before getting married, or preferably, kill the child and get married ASAP.

Afterall, marriage is simply the union of the man and the woman, the child is an obstacle to their love.

Also, since churches are like clubs, you can just walk into next one down the street and get married if the one you attend refuse the union.

dammytosh: The last time i checked marriage in the bible, it is a union between A MAN and A WOMAN.

Not a Man , A woman and Her baby.

If you can not abide, look for another church that will allow you marry with 9 months pregnancy. Not a problem.
Thank you.

If you live your life as God intended, then you will not be putting yourself in this position.

When people disobey God, they try and find excuses to criticise all and sundry except themselves .

My church will not marry you if this is the case but the. again we will give you a list of registry offices that will do.

It's not by force that you marry in a church.
