Kudos to the church.

The church should keep doing its best to resist the nude craze that has enveloped the society from infiltrating it.

P/s,whoever is not comfortable with their rules is free to take his or her wedding anywhere else. Its not be force.

all d rules are ok, i dont see anyting wrong in any

@OP it's called AVMCC Diocese of Lagos west not "a church" no dey derep my anglican church abeg

The rules are very OK by me. The church Sud be separate from the world.

Full gown? Some of us don't want full gown

Did the Bible Teach the above or the church itself? The bishop said and I quote "They are expected to respect the 'beliefs' of the Church" Seems here the belief of some reta.rdee is what is paramount not the Faith of Christ!

The Bible enjoyed believers to dress moderately and not seductively, the Bishop and Church elders have done litttle or nothing wrong here, you will agree with me that there is need to stop the current negative tide of what is happening is our churches today, one can hardly differentiate some churches from club house.

Christains don't need rules and regulations brother.....besides those rules up there is meant for self abasement... Perhaps I should tell you something that might come as a shock God has no hands in Weddings.

Can the couples wear this too? Add 33083427 to purchase yours!

Very much on point.



In fact I will copy out these instructions and advise our Marriage Counselling Dept to adopt same.


Greatttt

Crap.....Last time I checked Christ own the Church!! They are wrong and need to be corrected! The Church belong to Christ and not some sets of ret.ardee who likes to abase the members!

Yes Christ owns the church and the priests you see here are his mouth piece present here in this ever changing world or are you waiting till you see a notice in the church signed by Christ?
Mind you if the situation is not curbed before you know it some people will want to come and wed naked just as it has started in the western world then you'll probably come and cry foul not knowing that allowing it over time is what got it there.

Pausibly..... yet that doesn't justify the rules and regulations bearing in mind God doesn't ask us for wedding in the first place did He? No weavon, no earring.... no this... no that.... the people writing this laws are saying they are above this things and they sit to Judge anyone that errs. This is not a solution to the negative tides in the churches today as it is it is the problem; the rules and regulations. The solution is the Holy Spirit.Let the leaders leave out rules like do not touch,do not wear and concentrate on Teaching the flock to depend on the grace of God. If asked how these things were wrong Trust me they will have no Biblical injuction to back it up.

starlingslimnet:
And by adhering to the rules you think you will make heaven? I. tell you No!!

oga no derail. Common sense should tell one to be decent in dressing even without the church admonishing one to do so. In the first place why will a female expose her breasts for everyone to see, what then is left for her prospective husband to admire?

veekid:
Na by force?

yes na by force!

Seen but well, thanks for showing me coz am no longer a member of ur church

Modesty my brethren, modesty is the key, you will be surprised that many are mad, few are unclad. Nobody stops you from going to registry if you want to be bare breasted.

Priest? Did you just say priest? There are no more priest! What we have is brethren in Christ and all must function as one to work together. To stay clear which Biblical injuction command wedding? Yea...None do so.If they want the church to move forward Let wedding be done away with in the Church and Let marriage be allowed.

Human beings no matter how civilized need rules and regulations to curb some excesses and irrational behaviours. Christ instituted the first marriage in Cana oga

What am saying may be above your understanding yet your reply can not potray Christ in you. Don't you agree then the Church should focus on moral evaluation than dressing evaluation?

Come to think of it you don't expose anything with. earrings do you?

You are right in almost everything you wrote up there, in as much as the Spiritual is more important than the physical, the physical should not be neglected, the church is not just a home of grace but of rules and Regulation, what's outside can hardly destroy except what is inside agree with it, it is a fearful thing to play with the tail of a snake, I don't see it as passing judgement, I see it as setting standard so that people will follow, it is better I nurture the few sheep I have than for me to invite goats in and call it sheep altogether. See, I am not saying the elders are free from sins or righteous, but this rules are not to hard too adhere to.
Conclusively spiritual growth should be encouraged in our churches as you rightly said, if it is sustained, there won't be needs for all these rules, but you have to agree with me that we must start from somewhere.

In trying to sound intelligent,you ended up most foolish. I plead that you speak no further.
Anyone engaging you in an argument would be wasting his time in endless argument.

The Jews have rules more than nations on earth. God. give them countless of rules and regulations yet it does them no good.Rules is not the Solution the Holy Spirit is and unless the Church realize this she will continue to blend with the world.It's not by strength nor by might but by my Spirit says the Lord.

Thank God you said Marriage and not wedding... or you don't come to know they are two different thing

What am saying is above you.... you will understand as you grow in Christ

I kinda support this,brides be taking things too far these days.

why will a guy wear earrings at the first place? The dressing evaluation is an aspect of moral evaluation too. As for Christ not bin in me, i don't think u are in the position to decide that Mr Judge.

I quite agree we must start somewhere... I agree with modesty in dressing but not fundamentalism....Only if the leaders have the right intent like I can see in your spirit will this be productive but they are interested in giving the people fear instead of boldness.

God help the Church

you av done well in explaining to him/her. What is indecent is outrightly indecent. Some cant go for job interviews the way they appear in church. lil respect for our maker

Not 4 rich anglican members.

We all know the truth

N need to shout; curse or hate the Church; it their principle if u cant accept it...you can go to a club to get married in your birthday suit...

cleavage showing shouldn't be encouraged in the House of God..... where is the sense of modesty

I Tim 2:9

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73_HYeb2Io8 the judgement and revenge of the God of justice has come and he has began in the spiritual and will be manifesting little by little as the things of God remains a gradual process and those who knows about the spiritual understand this truth and revelation

Am a follower of Christ not of Religion.... I believe in Christ not Christendom. And as far as the Word of God is concerned God identify with only one thing and that is "Marriage" and not wedding.Since wedding ceremony brought in these problem why not remove it since God has no blessing for it anyway.Remove weddings and all these will be gone

I don't even plan to wed in church, outdoor weddings are my thing
