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!

starlingslimnet:
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

janefrancisca:
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.

starlingslimnet:
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.
May God truly help His Church and help us to make the right at all time.
God help the Church

Not 4 rich anglican members.

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

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

urchbarbie:
now ure talking. If ur line of argument is toward d elaborate ceremony......great. If it concerns d need to let ppl be in d way they dress for d ceremony..........Zero.

eyeview:


Exactly!
You have become too grown in theology that you have lost touch with the basic tenets of the faith.
Titus3:9 states 'But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain'.

As a grown christian,you of all should known that there are authorities which christ has placed his people under in the church. And here,these people have taken a decision to protect its flock from the nudity and irresponsible lifestyle that is eating up the fabrics of the society. And instead of your basic christian tenets to see it,you rather became over critical,no thanks to your 'over growth' in knowledge,thereby creating foolish questions and contentions that will not amount to anything but more argument.

Son,sometimes,its good to just sit back and follow the elders that have been given the authority. In trying to show how 'learned' you are,you showcase foolishness.
Selah.

It seems as if you are guilty of these or you are not a Christian at all.

Church or Christian gathering must be different from the World, if you cant abide by the rules then go get married somewhere else, they dont get honoured in you getting married in their Church.

But why the label ret.ardee, these are the builders of our faith in Africa, where were the pentecostal when theses orthodox were growing sending out missionaries [not yet born] - Read => 1 Tim 5:1, Matt 5:21 ....and correct yourself

GoodMuyis:


Lastly,I case you may not know, some in disguise of wedding, decided to lower the Standard of Godly dressing and that is their excuse, but the church that is preparing its members carve out those rules to still maintained Godly standard of dressing.

Be it in Wedding of a Normal Life a Born Again Christian must remain the same, be distinct from the World, Thats all

MadCow1:



My mum is an event planner and was planning on building an event center where a Priest would come and perform the ceremony and leave because of the way many churches are behaving towards couples.


I discouraged her saying: Nigerians are too rigid and stuck in their ways and wouldn't buy into the idea.

starlingslimnet:
Now this is stupidity and pure madness.....these guys should learn to separate tradition from Faith.

The church is blind... Anglican are blind

starlingslimnet:
FYI I don't do Religion I am a follower of Christ. And if a student is well Thought he will be like his teacher and that is from the mouth of Christ my Lord.So I don't need anyone to Teach me for the annointing teaches me everything.

It's not necessary you quote me if you can't understand my words

bidex:

what do you mean by that? so, they should dress like thug and LovePeddler to church? If you don't know, your comment sounds stupid. how dare you call a church of God blind? how dare you? from d writeup, did you see anything traditional or primitive there? Anglicans and Catholics don't condone bad dressing.

GoodMuyis:


Matt 5:21 "and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire."



Your Statement above Betray you, YOU ARE NOT A TRUE FOLLOWER OF CHRIST

It also extends to a lot of people coming for the wedding. According to @Eloka51, 'Looks like Anglican Churches in Lagos want to start enforcing the Wedding Dress Code.'

oluvick:




Are you through? Honestly we like this blindness.

The guidelines are not forced on the intending couple. So, the choices are totally theirs.


I am a proud Anglican and I am (we are) not blind.


Family values must be restored!

starlingslimnet:
The problem is the heart not the dressing....conquer the heart and there will be no issue of immodest dressing.that's why I say they are blind.... it takes a spiritual understanding to understand my words... it may sounds insultive but it's the Truth. Goodnight.

dhardline:


This is not stupidity..if whosoever wants to get married in this church does not like their standard then they should go to another church as simple as that.Their church their rules.

starlingslimnet:
I agree with you...except on the issue of a born again Christain because that doesn't exist since all Christains are born again

bidex:

......
what are u driving at with your post? what is your basis of posting this? what point are you trying to prove?

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

ladyF:
Hian! even guests too....its just best to let them do their church wedding and TURN UP for the reception Nothing can stop us from eating wedding rice.

Don't mention me if you're going to ask me when I'm getting married abeg.... is it your single??

It's [size=20pt]LadyF[/size] again

Handsomeemmy:
This is alright by me, the house of God is not a house for show up,beauty Pageant parade or wearing of seductive dresses. If societal morals is not uphold in church then where will it be uphold?
