Such is the force of the missile dropped by the leadership of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) on its congregation. No doubt echoes of its effect will be felt for a long time to come.
Genital Checks: Good move by the RCCG
The church prohibits premarital sex. The Bible labels it fornication. The church condemns premarital physical intimacy between intending couples. The Bible deems it sexual immorality. The church abhors marital separations and divorces. The Bible says marriage is for better and for worse. And many christian denominations interpret the Bible to mean that a divorcee cannot re-marry. So christian marriage is considered sacrosanct.
