I was having a conversation with a Facebook friend when the following question was asked: Do I think Kissing Is Ok or should you wait until marriage: Kissing is a gray area because it's an intimate act reserved for married couples as a way of showing love. If you're married, there's nothing wrong with kissing your spouse. That's what couples SHOULD do if they love each other. If a couple is saved but unmarried, kissing can lead to sexual activity. Let's keep it real: You're spending time with your (wo)man, and they're looking right. You've been together for a year and you two enjoy each other's company. One day, (s)he invites you over to their place for a movie. Popcorn and soda is ready, and as you two are watching the movie, someone's going to make a move. What starts out as a peck on the cheek can turn into full-blown sexing between a saved couple. To avoid fornication, set boundaries for spending time together.
My friend's pastor said he believes there should be no deep kissing to avoid sex, and he's right. The Bible says to not give off the appearance of evil, and deep kissing is doing just that. You can get by with a kiss on the cheek; a peck is ok, but nothing further. Most people aren't content with a peck on the cheek, they get to full-blown tongue because they have such a strong desire for each other. Before you know it, hands start roaming and clothes disappear. After that, the saved couple ends up between the sheets, and you know the rest. You want to lay hands on your mate, but not in a Godly manner. Having said all that, do I believe that kissing leads to sex? Absolutely. With fornication being so rampant in society, it seems like couples would sex each other first before getting to know each other.
