SELFWORTH:. 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. |

ANYONE'S OPINION, VIEW , IDEA IRRESPECTIVE OF WHO YOU ARE IS USELESS, WHEN THE BIBLE SAYS SOMETHING ELSE 1. GOD HONOURS VIRGINS.....E.G MARY, IT SHOULD BE A PRIDE TO YOU THAT YOU KEPT YOURSELVES FOR EACH ODA ONLY 2. GOD IS TOTALLY AGAINST PRE MARITAL SEX.... 3. IF PRE MARITAL SEX HAS HAPPENED, THEY CAN'T BE JOINED. INSTEAD THE CHURCH SHOULD DISCIPLINE THEM E.G SUSPEND THEM FROM THEIR GROUP ACTIVITIES. THE PROBLEM OF MOST PEOPLE IS THEY WANT TO DO WHAT THEY LIKE, CHRISTAINS NOT CHURCH GOERS WHO MISTAKENLY FALL INTO SIN WILL BE SOBERRR NOT ARGUING ON GRACE. 1 Like |

mathewalab: 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.. It is sad u don't even know when marriage starts. PremaritaL sex means sex before marriage and cannot defile marriage bed but rather defile the culprit body. What is done after marriage is adultery and that is what defile marriage bed. UnfortunatelY many of u here and ur pastors commit adultry and will still refuse people marriage becos they come open with pregnancy. Fortunately God is always ready to forgive even adultery as Jesus demostrated with that woman in the bible. Finally with ur recommendation had God been like u, u ll stop existng long ago becos u re not rIghteos as u made urself look. Infact ur claim to being so holy is itself pride and a major sin for our righteousness is like filthy rag before God. |

vanstanzy: Pregnancy is a result of premarital s*x, that is, if the couples are not married yet! The Catholic Church frowns at God frowns at premarital sex or fornication and fornicators will not enter his kingdom. so, we all as ourselves, is it about what we feel should be done or what God want from us? is it about our own feeling and our objectives or that of God? dont forget, we all claim to love and serve him, we love n want to serve in an acceptable way, we love what he loves and hate what he hates. 3 Likes |

Infact ur claim to being so holy is itself pride and a major sin for our righteousness is like filthy rag before God. It appears to me that you dont understand God through His word you seems to quote out of context neither will you understand His (God) act even at reality. Please I like you to understand detail of the word of God on issues being discuss and connect the the works of salvation that Master Jesus Christ did for mankind. First of most, No doubt about God wishes that all sinners be repented and save for them to live with Him in peace BUT can we continue in sin and expect grace to be abound - "NO WAY" the standard of the word of God is sure and anybody that come closer will be save. Let me ask you - do you termed the act of coming before the whole congregation for wedding terms to the public repentance - certainly NOT AT ALL. Please think deeply about the issue on discussion. Get this properly, we are not talking outside church, the issue affect CHRISTIANS and not any other fellow outside the church - probably you need interpretation of what christain is all about. You either be one or NOT - A marriage programme is not an hour decision; and for you to be a christain - you must have been going to church services regulary: that is even a spirit of God filled church not common one that filled everywhere now, and again marriage is not for baby but ADULT, how then do you say a mature adult christain did not undertand that its unbiblical to engage in sex before marriage? Because they are not strange to the church teaching or even personal Bible study will expose you to the truth of the word of God --- listen carefully, am not God nor an Angel but this is the position of the word of God. See, God can not lower His standard either you like it or not. Again you made mentioned of Jesus Christ decision about the woman caught in the act of adultereous - listen carefully, whenever you read Bible, dont jump into conclusion on ordinary alphabetical letters expressed BUT ask why this happened like this; and you know what, we have a great teacher (HOLY SPIRIT) to guide. Jesus Christ did not approve the adultreous act but He chooses to condemn hypocritical acts of Pharieses and Temple scribes. It is my appeal to you to embrace full salvation and live for God, this no be joke ooooooooooooooooo because that is the only condition to make heaven and reign with Him in the kingdom to come. God bless you in abundance. 1 Like |

ijawkid: One thing I do know is that making pregnancy tests mandatory only would make couples who intend to marry resort to abortion(double wahala)...........what the churches should focus on is disciplining those who are caught engaging in pre-marital sex,because that is what leads to pregnancy in the first place.....I'm not saying the churches should go ahead to unite couples who are pregnant....NO.....but I don't encourage this pregnancy test thing...........because many would commit sexual immorality and avoid pregnancy(either kiLl the unborn baby or make use of condoms and other birth control measures) as much as they can............ |

Miss Ope:Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah. I said it earlier, these major pentecostal churches don't joke with the issue of chastity before marriage, neither are they begging anyone to come and wed there. But if u must wed theren then u must comply with there strict rules. Every memeber has responsibilty to uncover any immoral activity of another otherwise such memeber shares in your guilt before God. In Older Pentecostal churches almost every sunday, members are stil publicly excommunicated for adultery, fornication, stealing, wife beating just name it. Church ought to exercise some sort of moral discipline over its members. I ve been in church where a sister and brother were invited in front of church and excommunicated for fornicating during courtship and several other instances. 2 Likes |

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. 1 Like |

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. 2 Likes |
