Prophet Okose, a Nigerian clergyman and former singer-turned-pastor, recently sparked controversy with his views on premarital sex.
In a social media post, he argued that sex before marriage is not a sin, stating that God never explicitly prohibited it, but rather, it was a restriction imposed by humans.
He further asserted that it is unrealistic to expect two people who love each other to be in a relationship without being intimate.
He wrote;
‘’ABUSE ME OR CALL ME FAKE PROPHET I STAND MY GROUND TO SAY!!
SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE IS NOT A SIN.
GOD NEVER GAVE THAT LAW MAN DID STUDY YOUR BIBLE WELL.
THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS BELIEVERS PRACTICE THAT WAS THE SUGGESTION OF MAN NOT GOD, EVEN THE MATTER OF DIVORCE GOD SAID I HATE IT, HATING SOMETHING DOESN'T MEAN IT CAN'T HAPPEN.
WE LIVE IN A GENERATION OF RELIGIOU CONFUSED LEADER WHO HAS TRANSFERRED THEIR CONFUSION TO THE CONGREGATION AND NOW WE HAVE BUNCH OF CONFUSED PEOPLE WHO THINK AS THEIR LEADER THINKS.
TELL ME HOW DO YOU LOVE SOMEONE DEEPLY BOTH OF YOU HAVE SERIOUS AFFECTION FOR EACH OTHER AND YOUR TELLING ME SEX WILL NOT BE INVOLVED.
DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE WHO HAS SAID NO SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE AND STILL END UP MARRYING SATAN SON AS A HUSBAND.
MAY GOD DELIVER THIS GENERATION FROM CONFUSED LEADERS.''
His statements have generated significant discussion and debate, with reactions varying widely among different religious and social groups.
Some agree with his interpretation, while others firmly uphold traditional teachings that advocate abstinence until marriage.
