Church wedding is not Biblical, it is European – Reno Omokri argues on Social Media
Former presidential spokesperson Reno Omokri has sparked a debate online after sharing a lengthy post where he tried to prove that church weddings are not biblical but are instead of European origin.
In his post, the rather controversial writer known for airing his views on concepts and institutions practised and upheld in society quoted Bible verses which he used to emphasize that church weddings are not compulsory and are not biblical.
Omokri further expanded on what a true biblical wedding is. He buttressed his point with an example in the Bible and emphasized that the ways of God are simple and not easy. Church weddings thus fail the lithium test of ‘simple and not easy’.
Read his post below:
1-I was teaching on biblical marriage and I told my listeners that the ‘White Wedding’ being practiced by many Christians is not biblical. It is EUROPEAN. I gave an example of how SIMPLE biblical marriage is by quoting Genesis 24:67 #WhatIsABiblicalMarraige?

3-Biblical marriage occurs when there is consent between two adults, who don't have consanguinity (siblings, first cousins) and with the knowledge (not consent) of both parents, for the purpose of life long matrimony. Things of God are SIMPLE but not EASY #WhatIsABiblicalMarraige

5-In fact, it was PAGANS who gave the followers of Jesus the name Christians (Acts 11:26). Jesus and His disciples were/are Jews. Jesus Himself said "salvation is from the Jews."-John 4:22. You can’t collect BIBLICAL tithe and preach EUROPEAN wedding #WhatIsABiblicalMarraige?

7-Finally, I urge you my readers to discover your religion for yourself. STUDY the BIBLE. Don’t just take everything the European missionaries taught about Christianity hook, line and sinker. The truth is in your Bible #FreeLeahSharibu #RenosNuggets #WhatIsABiblicalMarraige?
