femidejulius: Yesterday on this forum I read how a church bought sorrow to the life of a to-be couple by turning down their wedding even after people have been seated inside the church. A lot of churches nowadays will not give their nod to marriages because the wife to-be is already pregnant. Whilst this thread is in no way justifying pre marital sex, it does intend to open the mind of people to the truth about churches and their responsibilities as regards marriage and to save people from shame which might eventually lead them away from the church :
1. Church wedding is unchristian and unbiblical: Go through the bible and see for yourself. The weddings take place according to traditional belief. From this, traditional wedding is the acceptable wedding according to the bible.
2. These churches won't test for your virginity but will test for pregnancy. The result is that dos who have constant sexual intercourse but are smart enough not to get pregnant and those who have been severally pregnant but have done abortion are free to get married in the church. This is injustice by the church.
3. Lord don't despise sinners : Jesus throughout his life on earth is always seen amongst sinners. Remember the parable of the lost coin and the parable of the lost sheep. He said he came because of them. He will never turn them back. Okay, but the church will refuse to join the to-be couple together because they have sinned (she has indulge in pre marital sex). When you turn them down from the church, where do you expect them to go? A lot has since been discouraged from the church because of this.
4. Why do marriages still crash even after the wedding took place in the church? Why do even pastors wedding crash? Getting the "pastor's blessings" do not in any way guarantee your success in marriage. You don't necessarily need it.
5. I know some pastor and churches have turn the church wedding to money making venture. If you hear what they collect to make the church wedding happen in their church, una go fear fear. They ask for this and that before the wedding,but then, how much do they pay for salvation? Conclusion: A traditional marriage is what actually makes you husband and wife. While there's nothing really wrong about with church marriage, it is actually avoidable. You aren't committing any sin by doing only traditional wedding.

CC:lalasticlala Hi. this question has been on my mind for a really long time now and i checked here for some clues sometime ago. I agree with you that traditional wedding was what was accepted in tge bible times and infact its true. But these were mainly in the old testament and even in the new testament when the body of christ which is the church was still growing, it was not recognised yet as an institution that binds couples together. But if we are in christ and are new creatures in him, i strongly believe that the church wedding is the most important wedding. I also want to ask but i do have an idea.. is court wedding recognised by God also? |

Wedding in church is not a crime, but try as much as possible to treat all the same. preach against the sin as stated in the bible , but do not push them further into sin because you want to be holier than the pope.
Jesus came for the sinners and not the righteous, so the we will not perish.

You are absolutely right. Church wedding is never a biblical obligation. Church wedding is a doctrine derived from roman ethical ceremony of celebrating union of two lovers. Anybody that think he or she needs church wedding before their union is blessed does not know anything. The day your father and mother with the blessings of their families pray and consented to your union, that is the day Almighty God knows and bless your marriage. 7 Likes |

A Lot of Christians tend to be holier than God and Jesus. Be it known to you that fornication ain't an unforgivable sin. It Si equal in weight to any other sin you commit daily. White wedding has no place in the bible as traditional marriage is what is recommended. There is no record of any wedding held in a church in the bible. Search the holy bible well and be guided. I neva said white wedding is in d bible. White wedding is a thng d church decides to do. And they have set rules guiding it,if u brk any of d rules den d church have d right to reject joining d couple. Capish! |

nnahernest: my brother,don't encourage fornication,before I say anything read Hebrew 13:4 the bible said,marriage must be holy,with the marital bed undefiled,whoremongers and adulteries God will judge, secondly saying they only look after those who are pregnant so as to punish them and leave those who commit premarital sex you are wrong,in my church,if you have had sex with your wife to be no wedding,that is the correct standard of Christ,the bible said,if the foundation is faulty what those the righteous do,and the bible still said,the righteous has nothing to do,so therefore you can't start your marriage on a faulty foundation of fornication 3rdly,marriage in the scripture happened then before the establishment of church,and no church will tell you not to do traditional marriage, but what they avoid is pouring libation to the ancestors,which happens in almost every traditional marriage,and by the time you do that,you are connect the couples to the spirit of there forefathers,that is why most marriages experience what they don't know about,which is against the scripture in exodus 20:1_10,for more clarification add me on whatsapp, 07039476669 Couldn't read all... So church refuse to wed people that are pregnant but wed those that aborted.... . Lol.. . It means church supports abortion 1 Like |

I can't even begin to explain how much I detest this white wedding affair. The Orthodox Christians are the major culprits. Na them carry am for head. If the issue is about blessing the union, I see no reason why a priest or pastor can't do same right after the couple has been joined by the bride's father. The day I uttered this to some pals of mine,male and female alike, I could see smoke shooting out of their ears. I guess I will never understand the craze behind this fad. Some monkeys even go as far as saying that their marriage anniversaries' dates are those of their white wedding,thereby rendering the bride price payment unnecessary. I just tire for ourselves jare. We complain about wedding expenses but na we dey do ourselves. |
