Go to john 2:1-10. Forget my typing error.

I've read it now and I know that scripture.

So how does the chapter mean that the bible instructed Christians tp do white wedding in church?

Apina:
Christianity is not devoid of culture and traditions. What you call white wedding is but a European way of getting married which has come to be accepted by many around the world due to culture integration. What matters to CHRISTIANITY is the VOWS, not the wedding dress, food or pomp in which you choose to celebrate not minding anything contrary you might hear from whomever.

Having your marriage in the church is a necessity. It's you asking The people present to stand as witness to whatever promises you make to your spouse before God.

There was a thread about a couple on front page sometime this year who had their marriage on a Thursday afternoon at Mass in a Catholic church and gave those present, who were not more than 30 there and had come for their personal worship rice and coke as guest. So whoever chooses to go overboard is only doing his or herself, it's not by force to invite the whole village

u wrote right , but the point nessecity, I don’t agree with . Marriage is a traditional occasion , they don’t have to be in church before God accents to the union.. the major element of maraige is the promise and the witnesses .. pastors have been misleading people to believe it’s a nesescity..

How many of us here can afford not doing the white wedding....talk is cheap

PrecisionFx:



The church is holding bomb sef on top head of anyone who doesn't want to do white man's wedding

I don't agree

PIPnator:


And its worse to know that you have to marry her 3 time to have your marriage certified.
Traditional marriage, court marriage, and then church marriage for one person!
Nigerian women must really be special.

You don't necessarily have to do all that. Traditional alone will do then register it @ local govt

Total waste of money jare,i always say i dnt want dat white wedding,its jst too loud,and i really dnt like people putting eye on me,bt IF my husband to be insists,we'll jst do it in a very low key,families and close friends,make we dey go house jeje

Eaa247:


was Moses a Christian?
are Jewish tradition Christian traditions?
u mixed things up. Remember Judaism and Christianity are two different religions.
The truth is 'white wedding' was no where recorded in the Bible.
White wedding is a borrowed European idea.
I am not against it but I am not doing it.
Marriage is just getting d consent of both parents and paying the dowry

African traditional marriage is also not recorded in the Bible. Don't mix things up. And Christianity is reformed Judaism.

For me its just registry and family dinner of 50 guests including friends, that millions of Naira dt we will spend on parties will be deposited in a trust fund for the kids.

The bible most times, teaches us in parables. This verse of the bible is just a parable of our Lord Jesus Christ and church! How the church (Christians) should keep themselves holy and to be rapturable when he is to come back again. Not literally a marriage between a man and woman!


[Lquote author=Mandynews post=71381692]In Rev. 19:7-9 the Bible says, "Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to Him; for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife has made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white; for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And he said unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he said unto me, These are the true sayings of God."[/quote]

But nobody is holding a gun to your head that you must wed in the church

Many Nigerian ladies are holding pistol

EVILFOREST:

Thanks for REPLYING him.
Anyway, my man leave wetin people go dey talk.
Just carry your girl, do traditional with court.
Except your lady no gree.
She can also wear her WHITE GOWN to the court if she deems so. Most times na white Gown and Facebook be women problem.

A lady is more interested in what people will say about her, than what pleases her.
They always want to please others at their own detriment.

Gbam!!! You nailed it

The Catholic church will forbid you from partaking in certain sacraments until you're wedded in Church.

There are many churches out there

Its Nigerian christains that decreed it o.

some mothers in-law actually do... lots of girls these days will also pressure the guy into doing a "white wedding".

Soleymania:
Weddings are usually a ceremony of great joy but today the sorrow that follows some wedding ceremonies raises questions in ones heart.

Who decreed that Christians must have white weddings which we have now christened church or Christian marriage.

How many marriages were conducted in the sanctuary or temple in Bible days? Should we really spend so much to get married?

PREACH

No mind them.

Ishi, are you a Christian?

Lovely.....


Mind You OP, the church didnt ask anyone to do extravagant reception anywhere.....
U can receive ur guests at home and provide what u have or dnt do reception at all, church wudnt persecute you for that

The question is about weddings not receptions.

The most important part of a marriage is the parents consent as symbolized by the acceptance of dowry or bride price. Ceremony or no ceremony. The rest is jara.

Christians also need to learn to separate Jewish/Oyinbo traditions and culture from our African traditions and culture. We infuse Jewish and oyinbo traditions into christianity, then we call our own traditions fetish or archaic or mundane. Such is the practice of today's Nigerian Christian and it is fueled by all these fine boy pastors and con artists.

Some churches will tell you that you must do white wedding before traditional as traditional is seen as unclean and fetish. Such ignorance.

A marriage is already blessed by God once dowry is paid and accepted. Go and read your Bible, don't rely on what the con artist priest says.

When Constantine became a Christian,in order to lure his subjects to his new found religion,most of their local traditions where infused in Christchurch .we can still ask who decreed that Christians must celebrate birthdays?who decreed that Christians must celebrate new Year days?who decreed that Christians must celebrate Christmas?who decreed that Christians must celebrate Easter?if you check the Bible, this rites were never practiced in the first century Christianity.Constantine damaged Christianity.

Katier00:

I can make you do any thing by making by making you respect me love me subject to me promise to give you you deepest desires and suggest those things. And you'll do it without me putting a gun to your head.

They are senseless and thinkless who wants to add and do add costs to things thst need be costless and free!
What a world!

Our poor parents got married without this funfare. Seeing them, we even wonder, "how did this poor couples got married"?

The thinkless ones among our generation thinks because they have money and can borrow, the world is under their feets.


Ah..., must we steal or loan before marriage?


"Married brothers and sisters, get me a virgin girl, let me end this decade-long sexless-fast"!

stinggy:


The "Lamb" used in Revelations depicts Christ and the marriage depicts rapture.

Btw, what do you have to say about the wedding where Jesus turned water to wine? It was done in the family house and not a "white" wedding.

thank u jare, the girl is just misquoting d Bible, is she d lamb or her husband

Ignorance...!!!

They are senseless and thinkless who wants to add and do add costs to things thst need be costless and free!

I wedded 8/9/18 I did traditional marriage n I'm at work now. I no send my Anglican wahala I'm a man. I no even tell church say I dey marry. Guy if u see wedding list u go open mouth. Marriage is family vs family. Church has no place.

Christianity is not devoid of culture and traditions. What you call white wedding is but a European way of getting married which has come to be accepted by many around the world due to culture integration. What matters to CHRISTIANITY is the VOWS, not the wedding dress, food or pomp in which you choose to celebrate not minding anything contrary you might hear from whomever.

Having your marriage in the church is a necessity. It's you asking The people present to stand as witness to whatever promises you make to your spouse before God.

There was a thread about a couple on front page sometime this year who had their marriage on a Thursday afternoon at Mass in a Catholic church and gave those present, who were not more than 30 there and had come for their personal worship rice and coke as guest. So whoever chooses to go overboard is only doing his or herself, it's not by force to invite the whole village

where is it written that wedding in church is a necessity and who told u that it is only in church u can get people to witness ur wedding.. marriage is an arrangement based on agreement btween two ppl and with the consent of parents .

bigocean:
The worst is even the priests saying God does not recognize a union until they have done church/white wedding.
Fat lie! Deception at it's peak. God established the Marriage institution in a way that once a man and woman decides within themselves and gets the blessings of both parents to be together; marriage has already happened o. Any other thing they decide to do, they are doing for themselves oo.

To op post, my fiance should know that after our traditional marriage, the only reason I might even consider going to court is because of the certificate which I might need for a few transactions; if not na traditional be all for me.

My nigga, same thing i have planned, if she doesn't like it let her foot the bills i will only participate
