This happens to be my first post.

Reading interviews of most pastors and preachers especially about how they met their spouses, they seem to meet their intending partners as this untouched, no-relationship, never-had-sex kind of female.

Does it mean they all married virgins ?

If there still available

MightySparrow:

Lol..... Baba I was actually wondering if it was a necessity for them. Because they seem to always condem premarital sex too.

Like wouldn't a non virgin help their ministry ?

Why not? it is only a thing of pride if a girl can keep herself till marriage.

good question.

God glorifies even women and men who come from prostitution. He does not. Check your sexual history before using you. It is man that does that.

@OP, your pastors there are ordinary men who think announcing the sexual history of their spouses will give them creds they need with those they seek to court in the name of God.

To the pure, pure things are pure; to the corrupt all things are corrupt.

pure what?

To the pure all things are pure? Does life know this?
Sounds like some sort of delusion.

As far as God is concerned, your sexual history or lack of it means nothing. What corrupts is sin and that he will not abide!

Alright guys. I have gotten the reply I needed.

Which God?

The God of the Bible.

That told you chastity is delusion?

MightySparrow:

To God, yes, purity has nothing to do with Chastity.

Now, to believe that Paul wrote of chasity when he wrote "to the pure ,all things7 are pure", is in fact a delusion. I believe that by reading that verse within the context it was presented, you get clearer insight into what Paul was indeed talking about there in Titus 1.

God is interested in our obedience than He is in our sexual history, or lack!

It's a fat lie. Many pastors don't marry their wife a virgin. Though they will not say it because you are bringing up their past. It is their duty to teach about the importance of virginity. Some will even use style to avoid the topic and will use smartness to say virginity is not important when you choose a wife or husband but love by repeatedly quoting the Book of John

Importance of virginity to whom though? God or men? I feel it is important to make it clear that such things do not matter where God is concerned.
Man on the other hand, particularly the hypocrites among them, believe it of importance to marry women who they believe to be "chaste" in that way.

Yes it's not important but why are they not encouraging it. Many of them are ashamed of saying they were not virgins when they married. When they see someone that they suspected and is obviously not a virgin, they spite that person

So fornication is an injunctlon to obeyed?

I believe in the Nigerian case, since virginity holds a place in the cultural mindset of male society, some of the same males have sought to try to integrate it into Christian beliefs, even though nothing in the Christian idea suggests it holds any real importance to the Almighty.

Well, some of coursr out of ignorance of what God really says, have chosen to ingest the falsehood of virginity and accept it as indeed being a part of the faith, like so many other lies put there.

People who spite others are themselves ignorant and blind to the fact that even there spite has no place in Christianity as far as sinners are concerned.

Fornication is a sin just the same as lying is a sin.
God does not care if you have told one lie or a billion lies. That is not what matters. What matters is your obedience of his every commandments to you.

Since god doesn't care no girl should be married as a virgin?

wait a second ... what about boys and their virginity? you mean to say God does not care about boys being virgins at marriage?

God does not care whether you marry as a virgin or not and he certain does not have special prices for those who do, or do not. What He cares about is the condition of your heart and your obedience. Does He know that being human, that you might fall a couple of times, yes He does and He is not out to penalize you for it.
