Popular online influencer and former president aide, Reno Omokri has criticized the adopted culture of church weddings among Africans.
He made this known in a lengthy Twitter post where he described the culture of doing white weddings as a waste of money and unscriptural.
Reno supported his stance by using the Bible as a reference and stated that there is nowhere in the holy book that a church wedding was mentioned.
Not even the word ‘church’ appeared in the Bible too, according to Reno Omokri.
See full post below:
When you do a white wedding and then do a traditional African wedding, you have not done a Christian wedding and a traditional one.
You have actually wasted your money by doing two traditional weddings.
Read Scripture from cover to cover, and you will never find a church wedding. In fact, the word ‘church’ does not even appear in Scripture.
Church is a word that appeared in The Bible, which is a translation of Scripture. The original Scriptural word translated church is actually Ekklesia, which means gathering. Nobody in Scripture married in an Ekklesia, Synagogue, or temple.
ALL Scriptural marriages were done in the home (Genesis 24:67), and marriage was considered solely a family matter.
Yeshua Hamashiach, our Lord and Saviour, attended the wedding at Cana as a Guest in a home. John 2:2 is very clear. It says, “Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding.”
He was not there as the Officiating Minister. Stop allowing church, priests and pastors fool you.
Church marriage is unnecessary and unscriptural and is purely a scheme for financial exploitation.
