Dowry & Lobola pt.1

Theres a difference between roora(lobola based) and MINDA(RUVIMBO BASED-inside & out)

Minda is HUSBANDRY and the aspect of payment removes the foundation of the marriage and submits the relationship to principles of custom and culture or tradition.

Roora/lobola is not dowry and true dowry is a GIFT not a PREREQUISITE. Dowry means "IT IS OK IF YOU DONT HAVE IT, KEEP GOING", and a PAYMENY means "im sorry if yo dont have it you cant do it".

Do u see how people have misconceived the perceptions of their own traditions?

Jesus actualy exposed what i said here when the pharisees and saducees asked him why the disciples ate with unwashed hands.

His response actualy contained the words saying dowry is a CURSE and many people fail but now need to acknowledge this.

Here is his response:

Mat 15:2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.

Mat 15:3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?

Mat 15:4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.

The law was telling us we ought to honour our husbandry AS a father and mother faithful inside and out, that is honouring your parents. Not honouring man made traditions but GODS.

If you are looking for what Gods tradition is, you get the usage of the word RELIGION. The bible says TRUE RELIGION is VISITING ORPHANS AND WIDOWS.

There's no tradition of walking down an aisle and having a pastor announce you husband and wife as third witness, no this is an age old tradition created by man far longer ago than anyone today can remember.

Mat 15:5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to [his] father or [his] mother, [It is] a >>>gift,<<< by whatsoever thou mightest be >>>>>profited<<<<< by me;
Mat 15:6 And honour not his father or his mother, [he shall be free]. Thus ******have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.*****

So dowry in fact causes the COMMANDMENT OF GOD to come to no effect.

Mat 15:7 [Ye] hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
Mat 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with [their] lips; but their heart is far from me.
Mat 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching [for] doctrines the commandments of men.

He just told us that lobola or any tertiary third party requisite for a marriage to be deemed VALID is a curse.

***What GOD has put together let no MAN(or his tradition) separate.***

Mat 15:10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:

Mat 15:11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

If youre offended at hearing "paying lobola is a sin(curse)" then you are just as bad as a scribe and pharisee here.

*Mat 15:12 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?

*****Mat 15:13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.

Chose wisely between dowry rights and the COMMANDMENT OF GOD.

A man and woman are put together BY GOD not by  a third party nor a piece of paper.

"No sex before marriage" is hiding "SEX IS MARRIAGE"  in order to give place to moral-ize MAN MADE TRADITION as a means of foundation for relationships.

This in fact causes more problems than anyone can think of or actually see.
