Virginity is not overrated, but that is just me.

TecM0:





That's because scripture was written by Arabs and Jews of the Middle East, and it is part of their own culture and custum 2000 years ago


Bride price is a cultural thing and it is dumb to jettison your own culture for Arab and Jewish culture


Just imagine if Biblical Joseph had insisted virgin Mary had a bastard since he never disvirgined her, and he had being close minded forming Alpha Male, will there be bases for religion, will Jesus had have such loving upbringing

Beckysexy:
Hope you married your wife as a virgin? And I hope your children are virgins... if No, then shut the Bleep up.

If we wan follow this law, all the girls wey dey nairaland no go get bride price

escapethecage:
21st century thinking on marriage should be an elaborate feast without any form of tax called bride price, However, if your wife becomes confirmed as a virgin an expensive long lasting gift should be given to her for her victory over all the wild animals in every street of the world.

Octopusssy:

You are repeating yourself. Bride price is paid in almost cultures world over, and the bible reflects this. Ancient Jewish customs says no bride price non-virgins, my own native African customs insist bride price must be paid regardless of sexual status.

End of story

Speak for yourself and your family members.

rosemary21:
All these guys supporting Mr Reno thinks that being a virgin woman in this 21st century is a walk in the park, that is the most difficult journey for a woman infact as days goes by you will start seeing reasons to give up because the truth remains that 90% of guys here will want to have sex with you before marriage.Thats why I will continue to advise that if as a young woman,you want to keep your virginity,let it be a decision between yourself and your God and not necessarily for a man cos that way it will help you overcome the pressures that you will face.moreso be ready to get married later than most of your mates cos to find someone who will actually believe you and also control his urge till your are married wouldn't be an easy race,forget all these yarns you are seeing here.Bride price is a traditional thing that gives a man an authority over a woman,so whether a woman is a virgin or not,I think every woman deserves that respect of her bride price being paid.

Chidorx60:

As much as ..I want to send the message of Chastity in both women and men till marriage.....
I strongly agree with you...
Your points are very good....it's not easy at all....funny things is..most guys here are not even virgins...but they just want to enjoy slut shaming any girl they find who opposes Reno's statement here because lack of virginity and a life of promiscoucity shows more on a woman's body than in men.........it's not easy at all...these present generation is sadly wasted in immorality....


Aside from that....the truth is the truth...brideprice...the origin of brideprice is meant to be paid for virgins since time imemorial....young women..who were already "used or defiled " upon discovery on the marriage bed...were even killed....both in Bible days and in most African traditions....it's education and mordenization that has normalized everything

Lovelies1:


Thanks for the info on USA

But sharia law and christian ideology is never the same so keep your ideology. Never you mix Christianity with Judaism.

Angelfrost:


Okay... Here is the thing...

A lady's choice to stay celibate till the consummation of her marriage doesn't essentially or automatically make her more marriageable than the one that chooses not to...

It is certainly not a guarantee for marital stability and longevity!!!

While I respect a person's choice and ability to stay chaste till marriage, I will not place her far above those who failed to do the same.... There is more to life and character than sexual celibacy!!!

Onitola2:
lol, lobatan, so what's ur view on Judaism, enlighten me pls

Kaytixy:
oga ur theory is dumb. Having sexual intercourse with a man who is not your husband is a great sin before God. A chaste woman is far better than someone who has thrown her to some guys out there

Lovelies1:


Christian are not part of sharia law, any law you saw in the bible was mosaic law, God law is in the spirit not law. Moses was a mortal man is effort trying to put the law out became a problem.

The main giver of the law JESUS CHRiST came down to fulfill the law, meaning there was no law but the word of God. The Word Of God is the way that pleases God and you abide in God and God in you.

In all your ways seek the Lord, never trust in your own wisdom. Have a cordial relationship with God in this you can have with all men.

The law and the spirit are not the same

You were born in your family. you don't need a law to keep you in unity with your Dad, mom and siblings you know how to strengthen things out and let love lead. Cause your family is base on blood from the heart.

We are born in to one family of Christ with our all in us, Jesus, so why do we need law to live together when our love is stronger than any.

So it's a brotherhood and sisterhood under one father, so everyone knows how to see another person as yourself

Onitola2:
does that mean Christianity is lawless because every religion ( society ) has its own law.

PastorandMentor:
I agree with Reno.
All this girls with big hole waiting for bride price is a crime.
What should i pay for? Used hole?
You are joking.
Long before i married my wife, I always tell myself that it's either a virgin or i remain single or a single father.
Finally married a virgin.
Non virgins need or deserve no bride price.
They are loosed people

Please in your family which law do you practice in your family

HotPoundedYam:

Onitola2:
Islamic law, where it's applicable ( like morals ) civil law where it's applicable.

but I don't understand what you mean by saying that the laws in the Bible are for jews but Jesus came to enforce them, yet u said that the laws are not for Christians.
