OP stop deceiving people here about Deeper Life mode of marriage. You are the one holding yourself not the church or the committee. I just attended a wedding of Deeper Life where the sister is about 22 year. I married in the church and I can boldly say that if you take a 100 samples of the marriages join in this country by churches it will be hard to get a higher sample of successful ones other than what we have in DCLM. The MC is to guide us as believers and not a stumbliy block like you are insinuating.
By God's grace and if not for the MC I would have married a disaster. I know this by hind sight.

Uncle G, it makes no sense. He has not even approached his love interest but he has approached the church council and is waiting for their approval. I mean, what the actual frock?? What if, after 'approval' the said lady does not agree to be courted?

He needs to examine himself well and stop blaming the church for his inability to be settled.

Regex:

We are both saying the same thing. He doesn't like the doctrine of Deeper Life Church, he should leave, but, I'd advise he leaves after he has gotten married to the woman being arranged for him, because he's sure going have issues with Socializing.

Better emancipate yourself from the religious fanatical slavery.

Jesus Christ instead warned you against following the Doctrines and traditions of men . He informed you these doctrines and traditions of men are nothing but lies, an abomination to God - Matthew 15 vs 1 - 14

My friend we're social animals...your God made it that way, his situation is not healthy for his mind...a church person should be married and settled at 25 so he can focus on other churchy things. I personally cannot trust any single churchy person at 35....Yes.

Brought up by Deeperlifer, graduated as a biochemist, with the indoctrination of the church, waiting for the marriage committee to sanction a relationship even when am yet to speak to the lady in question understandably because I dont wanna go against church rules... my fear is, its unheard of!! No relationship at 35 and isn't this ABNORMAL

We all know that marriage committee isn't scriptural, and for a church that actually preaches sound doctrine, that's a lot to deal with.
Also, many folks in that church are actually enduring their marriages..

A fool at 35. Remain 5 years then you gon be a fool forever.

Well ion want it to seem as tho I'm talking against the Church but if at this age and time ur still following Deeper life's marriage committee doctrine then ur making a mistake. as far as I'm concerned the committee has been giving lotta members problem and Pst Kumuyi said he'll scrap it if it continues to cause problem and division in the church but the truth is, their system can't change. well to me the marriage committee makes you understand ur wife after the marriage which is why a 2months wedding will look like a 20years old marriage

Issues like this is why a 22 year old would end up marrying someone that's about 10 years older than her. Omooooeux!
Allow people to look for their preferences, meet up with the said person and both go to the marriage committee. Is that so hard? Instead, everything is supposed to be under the corners.

Aside the few extremes, a lot of young people are leaving the denomination because of this same issue.

Doctrines are different from Administrative rules.
Organisations have standard and procedures for various operations. When you belong to the organisation you follow the process and procedures .
Absence of procedures will mean everyone doing it his or her own way and orderliness will be lacking.
So let's not mix up doctrines with administrative procedures. Every Church I guess have there marriage procedures.

We are not saying the same thing at all.

1. By living under the doctrines and traditions of his church, he is living in sin against God Himself and so his worship of God is in vain - Matthew 15 vs 1 - 14

2. If he should marry from this place and afterwards leaves with this woman, will she be happy with the new arrangement forced on her?

You want the church to sanction a relationship that is still in your imagination?

You are almost 40. Please let your foolishness end before you are 40 so it doesn't become permanent.

VlamesIffect:



Some of us went through the system, Jesus Only is our message - you code.

But at the end, this life you have to explore & have experiences, stop carrying all thay churchy thing in your head & approach the lady you like BE A MAN.

Real talk from me to you, you remember back then in SAY early 2000's. That was when i learnt to differentiate our church's doctrine from practical application in the real world.

I know when you finally overcome thay deeperlife sentiments you'll do things. Things wey go make devil SHOCK.

Because na we dey BAD pass.
