The 'power' of a priest to pronounce a couple 'man and wife' comes from man, not from GOD – Reno Omokri
Reno Omokri has just explained that God didn’t empower any priest or pastor to join a couple in holy matrimony.
According to him, ‘the power of a priest or pastor to pronounce a couple ‘man and wife’ comes from man, not from GOD.
Quoting the Bible, Reno Omokri went on to say, ‘read The Bible for yourself. It is God’s letter to YOU. There is nothing like that in The Bible. Marriage is PURELY a FAMILY matter, not a CHURCH matter. It involves the couple and their parents ONLY. The first time marriage was mentioned in The Bible, it proceeded from God’s Mouth DIRECTLY.
He said “Therefore shall a MAN leave his FATHER and his MOTHER, and shall cleave unto his WIFE”-Genesis 2:24. Jesus played NO PART in the MARRIAGE at Cana. He was invited as a GUEST.
The only thing He did was turn WATER to WINE during the FEAST that FOLLOWED the WEDDING. If you want to justify CHURCH WEDDING, then couples should go to church with WATER for the PASTOR to turn to WINE
