Gaborone:I don't think so. Neither do churches think so. Will you then say that the islamic wedding is also the court marriage (if it issues certificate, licensed by the government)? |

anukulapo: It's very okay to disagree, but it seems you didn't get my earlier post. If you may allow me, I'll explain a bit more tomorrow. And I'll try to answer your question too. We're too tired to think straight or type now. ![]() It's a night! 1 Like |

adjoviomole:That means you're not aware. . Here: . . Suppose a woman isn't engaged to be married, and a man talks her into sleeping with him. If they are caught (not necessarily in the act, might be due to pregnancy), they will be forced to get married. He must give her father fifty pieces of silver as a bride price and can never divorce her. Deut 22: 28-29 |

adjoviomole:If I had bet my life that you'll say "that's the old testament", I'll still be very much alive by now. I'm not surprised. . I really do not know how to help in this case anymore. I hope someone else can help explain to you. |

anukulapo: So impregnating A woman you are yet to wed is a good thing to u?. Even d part u quoted in d bible shows dat it was nt a good tin,because d dude was forced to do all d rights.marriage is not by force 1 Like |

adjoviomole: You really don't get the point. You're talking based on subjective apologetic (of morality) sentiment. adjoviomole:What you should be checking is the purpose of the injunction. Why do you think the law was put in place? However,back to the earlier point, the law said they should get married. It didn't say the "pastor" should exercise his "power" to cancel their wedding because of premarital sex. adjoviomole:That is the "consequence. More like saying since you two love one another so much as to have done that, then you should get married. I didn't make the law,neither did I place it in your copy of the bible. If you don't agree with it, just tell yourself that "it's old testament". That'll settle the matter. 1 Like |

What we have failed to look into which would save us a lot of stress is that (i) Christianity is not a religion but a way of life (God is reaching out to man) (ii) Religions are a sub section of tradition, therefore every group of people with a common tradition have their religion (ways of reaching out to God). The wedding ceremony is meant for people and not God - entertainment of human guests. God will not come to wine and dine with you during any of the receptions or ceremonies. So as a couple (bride and groom to be) you are to choose how you want your marriage contracted or the wedding ceremony you want. That being said, as a Christian you are to fulfill the will of God (no premarital sex) and the law in anyway you deem fit. IMO all that's necessary to fulfill the law are the presence of (i) a person authorized by the State (government) to conduct weddings and supervise exchange of vows and symbol of love (if you subscribe to use of rings or exchange of any materials), (ii) witnesses; doesn't have to be parents by fire by force - there are orphans in this world, there are people far away from home and people do elope to get married (iii) a clean slate that you are not legally married to someone else at that same time. God doesn't need an ordained minister to bless anything us, all He says are for us to pray in the name of Jesus and have faith. Therefore, I feel a meeting of families of the couple, presentation of gifts and or items requested by a family (generally bride's family in Nigerian What we have failed to look into which would save us a lot of stress is that (i) Christianity is not a religion but a way of life (ii) Religions are a sub section of tradition, therefore every group of people with a common tradition have their religion (mode of reaching out to God).

anukulapo: Had to put groom in the statement due to the way some ladies make it sound like it's possible to hold the event without one, whereas in alot of cases the groom does the most in bringing this dream to reality. He does the wooing, convincing, proposing, and payment of bride price, yet it's all about the bride... |

timifakay:All na end time things. . Changing the order of life. . Attend registry marriage and see the registrar hand over the marriage certificate to the bride "for safe keep". |
Re: How Biblical Is Church Wedding? by tpiar: 3:50pm On Dec 10, 2015 |
anukulapo: Have the registrar give it to you when you marry, or collect it from your bride. Really, nlers whine and nag too much over the same thing every single day, its annoying. the other guy had a valid point but YOU are just typing for typing sake. |

Mpanyi:ur contribution lacks objectivity and is very vague. Please it will more comprehensive if you qoute a verse in the bible and explain were it state explicitly that a single marriage was done in the synagogue as it were then. Even jesus turn water to wine at a marriage ceremony did u here dat d marriage was conducted in church or synagogue, Please lets be guided accordingly. |
