    Giant leap.

  • Frank Agyena-Karikari. 1 month ago

    It is a Giant Leap backwards. I know kissing is has more European ancestry but it is not a sin. The Church should fight against Homosexuality that has engulfed the World. Is kissing not a form of showing appreciation and love ...

    They should concentrate on pastors impregnating the women and peoples wives. They can’t even speak about the way their women dress to church.

  • KISSING IN A CHURCH IS ABOMINABLE - Ghanani 1 month ago

    Kissing before a church altar is abominable. .It degrades the sanctity of the altar and shows total disrespect for God's house. Moslems will never do this in a mosque. Kissing in a church shows the extent to which Christiani ...

    Instead of a decent symbolic peck, people resort to obscene,amorous and intimate deep kissing,as if it's a prompt to act out a pornographic movie. GOOD RIDDANCE TO BAD RUBBISH!!!

    Is it not nonsense to be doing that in church where couples are made to Kiss at weeding cérémonies.

  • Frank Agyena-Karikari. 1 month ago

    I don’t see this as NONSENSE because Jesus Christ was not married to Mary Magdalene but according to the Disciples, JESUS CHRIST KISSED HER OFTEN.

    False. There's no evidence supporting this claim.

    Can you go ahead and read the Gospel according to Philip? You can find it there. Don’t you believe that there are other Gospels that have not been included in our regular Bible? I don’t mean any harm or disrespect to your ...

    Which sane persons, who are genuinely interested in the Truth, rely on known fake documents such as the gospel of Philip, the gospel of Mary magdalene, etc, some which were authored as recently as the 16th and 18th centuries?

    In most cases, the couple will perform the traditional marriage in the home before they come to the church. If one performs the traditional marriage, is the woman not the wife of the man and as such can't they kiss as husband ...

    @Osonoba. What you call "traditional marriage" is marriage but it is customary marriage. The marriage ceremony performed in many churches in Ghana involves blessing the marriage but is also ordinance marriage since many of th ...

    @Agyeman. If the church won't allow you to kiss during your wedding and you are pissed, take your wedding to the court. Even there, they have stopped.

    Islam started the slave trading first. Look at Boko Haram and others? See how Islam destroyed our civilization in Egypt, Sudan, etc? Don’t bring Islam as an alternative. It’s worse.

    No worries. He has kissed her saaaaaaa before the wedding. If you knew what they would be doing at the eve of the wedding, you will even ban marriage. You people are not serious kraaaaaa

  • AK 1 month ago

    This decision is long overdue. We have blindly copied the white man to our shame. Some churches don't do it and I hope all churches will go along this line. Our tradition is supreme.

    Very bold and fantastic stand taken by the Apostolic church ghana. During weddings now, more attention is palced at the session of "you may kiss the bride" than the gosple itself.
