Emmanuel Okose, a well-known Nigerian preacher and former musician, has stirred controversy with his recent comments regarding premarital s3x. In a bold Facebook post, Okose asserted that engaging in s3xual relations before marriage is not a sin, claiming that such a prohibition is a human construct rather than a divine command.
Okose emphasized that God never explicitly forbade s3xual intimacy between loving partners. He argued that it is unrealistic to expect two individuals deeply in love to refrain from physical affection. He stated, “S3x before marriage is not a sin. God never gave that law; man did. Study your Bible well.”
The preacher further criticized the influence of religious leaders, suggesting that many have perpetuated confusion among their followers. He pointed out that various practices within religious communities stem from human suggestions rather than divine instructions, citing divorce as an example. “God said He hates divorce, but hating something doesn’t mean it won’t happen,” he noted.
Okose’s remarks challenge traditional beliefs about relationships and s3xuality, encouraging individuals to reflect on their understanding of love and intimacy. He questioned how one can truly love another without involving physical connection, highlighting the disconnect between religious teachings and personal experiences.
