The effects of Imperialism and colonialism have dealt with Africans not only in our socio-economic lifestyle but even in our sociocultural way of life and we are indeed paying for it painfully. Take a look when you are organizing a Christian Wedding, you must get a Wedding dress, a Wedding suit, a Wedding cake, a Wedding ring, Bridesmaids, Groomsmen, a Wedding reception, an Event planner, a DJ, a live band, a Bouquet, and a Confetti. No wedding BIBLE, the most critical of all. Only recently some Churches introduced the Bible as part of the solemnization process....CONTINUE READING
Honestly none of the above are necessary for an ideal Christian wedding. They are all European culture. Africans were brainwashed to see White Wedding as Christian weddings.
It is NOT! It is cultural domination by colonialists and imperialists using religion. It’s just a forcible indoctrination that a white Man through the power of Colonialism and neo Imperialism have coerced us all into believing that a Christian marriage must have the aforementioned bridal process. It’s all lies from the pit of hell.
Like the Sons and Daughters of Issachars, Read Scriptures, a Scriptural wedding has its bridal train and procedures this way:
-You find a girl
-You ask her to marry you
-She says yes
-You inform your parents
-If (and only if) she is a virgin, you pay a bride price-Exodus 22:17
-She leaves her parent’s house for yours
-You have a feast you can afford.
Few of the African traditions when it comes marriege is closely related with the Hebrew concept of marriage. It’s in a way Biblical if you want to go the African way that is in tandem with the Bible concept of Marriage.
Guys don’t kill yourself with unnecessary White Man’s Marriege when you want to settle down please
