The Oxford Advanced Learners' dictionary defined lover as a partner in a sexual relationship outside marriage. (2) Lovers(plural), two people who are in love or having a sexual relationship outside marriage.

Having considered the meaning of lover(s), should the church or christians celebrate LOVERS' DAY? Is it not a way of celebrating sin?

Yes. Since God's love

Did Jesus celebrate LOVERS day

STFUareyouGod:
Yes. Since God's love

hmmmm is lovers' day not love day. i love you doesn't mean i am your lover.

Yes y not?

Leader01:

hmmmm
is lovers' day not love day.
i love you doesn't mean i am your lover.

since God is love, lovers can always celebrate the day their love started

I thought this lovers day started in the church ,when st valentine wedded soldiers and their fiancees before they left for the war front,

Everyday is Lover's day, Everyday love is shared in and outside the church.


Nothing special.

STFUareyouGod:
since God is love, lovers can always celebrate the day their love started

if you look at the dictionary meaning, lover(s) is a sexual partner outside marriage.

Now what does the bible say about sex outside marriage ?

NOPE

Obioraaa:
St. Valentine's day or Lover's day??

they're used to mean same.

The greatest enemy of knowledge isn't ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge,... We should try to understand something before coming to make a public stance on it! .. The origin of lovers' day stems from the story of St Valentine.. The day was set aside by the Holy Roman Catholic Church to commemorate the life and examples of this great saint.. The feast day was only recently hijacked by secular society sometimes around the 19th century.

back then the church I used to attend made it a youth thing,the general church don't celebrate it,but they made sure the youths did.
they invite a youth motivational guest speaker,,,,,truthfully by the time the guest speaker finishes his fun interactive session,you would never want to have sex ever again..used to be mad fun,missed it.

which church did it?
