"Adam never performed any marriage rites to anyone........" Obinim endorses fornication ?

The founder and leader of the International Gods Way Church, Bishop Daniel Obinim has encouraged his congregation to always cherish giving birth outside marriage. The controversial Bishop in a sermon to his congregation in one of his branches argued that God always blessed partnership between a man and a woman hence there was no need for two persons intending to marry to seek the consent of their parents. To him, the fact that Adam (the first man
ever created) and Eve (the first woman created) never performed any marriage rites to anyone indicate that God does not require the consent of parents before blessing a marriage. “When you are presented with marriage and children, choose the children because you can never afford to have children, a man can live with a woman for some time and God would bless their union even without the consent of your parents". “God blessed the union between Adam and Eve without Adam performing marriage rites to any family, He blessed the union directly and He would do same for you even with your parents being unaware…,” he argued. The man of God therefore told his congregation that God always blessed marriages even without the consent of the family hence they should never break up their cohabitation relationships.
