well if ur both innocent parties - then yes, if you were in a relationship, i see nothing wrong with kissing.
 
May I add a twist to this discussion? Two chirstians , both devoriced, dateing for the first time in three years. Kiss or no kiss before marriage? And then if so where do we draw the line. If we know we will be married would it still be adultray? I do hope there are some 40ish people out there with some ansewrs.
I see nothing wrong with a kiss IF you can keep it at that. If you don't trust yourself than why mess around with that? Now as for sex even if you are going to be married, it is still fornicating and the bible talks strongly against fornicators.
 
Sex before marriage is okay now. Since we can not lose our salvation, then why not do what we want?

Hmmmm, what do you do with verses like 1 Corinthians 6:9-10? (and others like it?)

9Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders 10nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
 
2 Peter 2

[1] [2] [3]

2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in ****able heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

2:2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

2:3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their ****ation slumbereth not.

2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

2:5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

2:6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;

2:7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:

2:8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)

2:9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

2:10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.

2:11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.

2:12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;

2:13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;

2:14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:

2:15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

2:16 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.

2:17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.

2:18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.

2:19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.

2:20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

2:21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.

2:22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

He was trying to prove a point. He did this in like 8 different threads and went totally off topic. Just ignore it.
 
I believe sex before marriage is wrong, but sadly it happens a lot. I guess I can't talk much I'm not married yet so I have not yet totally escaped it. I hope I do though. :)

Lynn, Thanks for the reply. Once I get the anwsers started flowing I'm really going to get deep. But my question is , Two christians dateing(40ish) both devoriced after long marriages. Both loveing the total exsistance of the other, kiss or no kiss before marriage. And yes the concern of limits already have been discussed. and too isn't the act what unites the two in marriage, in God's eyes?
 
Sex before marriage isn't worth it. Trust me been there done that having a baby and we did it just ONCE. I wish I would have waited even though we are getting married it would make things so much less complicated.
 
As i think about this question. I believe that if you give a engagement ring to the woman that you plan to marry then i believe that having sex is okay. When God brought Eve to Adam was there a wedding License? The marriage license and the whole thing is what man requires, not what God requires. There is nothing wrong with waiting until the have the paper, but a paper shouldn't tell people that their married. Its a bond between two peoples hearts and minds, it has nothing to do with having a peace of paper telling a person that they are now married because the paper says they are!!!

You are, however missing the point dude!!!!

You are right

It is NOT about a piece of paper

It is NOT about a church ceremony

It is 2 things

It is a PUBLIC statement (like baptism is)

It is a LIFETIME commitment (until death do you part)
 
Unto to the pure all things are pure: even sex before marriage.
Foricators are ppl that go out to bang anyone, withno regard for love r lifestyle, a heathen pratice.
But sex wih loving adults and friends that may have life long intenions.. is no sin.
It is all apart of Gods process to find your helpmate.
 
Ideally, I'd like to wait. I'm willing if I fully trust my partner. There are plenty of marriages which fall apart because the couples are sexually incompatible. A lot of people don't think it's a legitimate concern but any issues in the bedroom which cannot be solved through counseling will cause strain on the relationship. Some can manage but few people are strong enough to stay married to someone with whom they cannot bond physically. My basic point is that it's not my place to judge what people feel is best for them. If they fall off course, God will be there to guide them back when they are ready :)

p.s. I hope people don't think I'm making an excuse to sleep around until you find someone who is a good time. I'm simply stating why sometimes what is ideal doesn't work out for everyone :(

Fornicators are people who have sex before they are married.
It is not just people who have no regard for love. Thats just pure stupid.
My big brother and his girlfriend have been dating for about 2 and a half years now, they can not and will not have sex before they are married. They are in love, but if they were to have sex before they were married, then they would become fornicators.

You're banned now but I have to say that you match the description of a Nicolaitan in case you see this.
 
Marriage was not something man made. God ordained marriage, it should handled very carefully. It is one man and one woman for life. If you are a man, and you just had sex with a woman before you two are married, you just stole her purity from her future husband. When you are married your body is not your own, and when you have premarital sex you are stealing from your future spouse. Marriage, before the Fall, was perfect. It is not any more. Now there are hardships added on, it's not a 50-50 relationship anymore. If like Adam fell in perfection, how much so have we fallen in your abomination?
 
The reason that it is a bad idea is because its a intimacy level that only two people joined by God should experience. God does not frown on sexual activity, however, he did not intend for it to be something between two people that are outside of marriage. It is a beautiful thing that should be shared between HUSBAND AND WIFE. As hard as it is now to avoid sexual activity, it is still the best option.

Way to go Billy, My whole reasoning in this question was to let people think about, Two Christains 40ish both devoriced and know they will be married soon is it sin to be intimate ?
