The formal church decreed that marriage was a sacrament, and thus, those wishing to marry needed the blessing of "the church" and the pronouncement of the priest or pastor. This formal acquisition of power in marriage can not be endorsed from Scripture. There is no Biblical power to marry invested in any ordained minister of religion.
