The debate of kissing
Posted : 20 Mar, 2011 07:05 AM

Is it reasonable to think there are guys out there willing to wait until he is at least engaged to kiss? This is something I feel God is laying on my heart and although my friends support me and have even joined me, all I keep hearing is that is it impossible. Any thoughts?

It's been in my heart to wait until marriage for the serious kissing for a while now - just so the flesh isn't enticed. If I like someone, I certainly don't want those...'in the moment' thoughts popping into her head or mine. Best to avoid temptation that way.



BUT...this is only from MY point of view - different strokes fer different folks, i suppose...

I think it's nonsens.. but that's just me probably.



If someone is like that, i wouldn't feel attracted at all!!

I think kissing is something that should be in a relationship.



But not with someone you don't know and not have a relationship with.



Why would you want to wait for kissing till marriage? etc..

Or are you affraid you are bad at it? Is there some excuse?

Please explain to me..



I see kissing and sex as something beautifull... alot christians see it as DIRTY and a SIN... i don't like that at all!!



It is GREAT ! ( within it's boundaries )

I myself would love to wait until my wedding day for that first kiss.

HarmJwill, I don't think anyone here will say that kissing and sex are dirty or sinful...within boundaries. For sex, the boundary is easy for most Christians to set (though that doesn't mean that people don't sin and cross that boundary line): sex is reserved for marriage only.

Kissing, on the other hand, poses a bit of a different problem. There are different kinds of kisses. Some are harmless; others are the type that can lead one or both people to stumble, either with their thoughts or by causing them to cross that boundary line they set for sex. Also, some people are weaker than others, or respond more deeply to kissing than others do.

I've heard it said (perhaps on this site, actually...though it could have been elsewhere) that boundaries are like walking along a cliff. Who is more likely to fall off the cliff? The person who is walking right along the edge, or the person who stays 10 feet back from the edge? I think I prefer to stay 10 feet back until I'm married, then I'll take a flying leap off this particular cliff!

Andy Stanley preached a message that would kind fo fall under this umbrella. Basically, its best for us (Christ followers) to set our own personal boundaries so far back from "crossing the line" that even if we were to, in the moment, cross our own line a little, we still wouldn't be crossing any moral boundaries. And it comes down to a heart thing.



I think too that the person God has picked out for you will likely be open to, not only knowing what your own "personal boundaries" are, but also to respecting them. I certainly hope mine is.
