Flee from all appearances of evil.

Firstly kissing is not a sin but a way of expressing love and emotions towards our partner but it must operate under the umbrella of marriage because your motive alone and action goes hand in hand.

No

Kiss one another with a holy kiss

Yes.
Is Negative imagination/thoughts a sin? Of course YES!

Now be sincere to yourself, can you KISS innocently? NO!
Once you lock your mouth together, thoughts begin to flow in.
So the question is are those thoughts Godly?
I doubt!

It is a sin, obviously...just like SEX before marriage.

However, I want to ask the believers this question. My elder Sister is a virgin at 38, she married the love of her life in the year 2020 (after dating him in the 'believer way'), a fellow believer. Long story short, the marriage has been dissolved and she is still a virgin( apparently 'complete impotency' is real, I never truly believed it could happen to a young guy). How will you convince her now that SEX before marriage is wrong?

Meanwhile, if you have an elderly loved one, or a friend who is sick or disabled...and you need a reputable company to [provide quality care for them, kindly check my signature for the best caregiving service company around.

Hebrews 13:4 Tell her to read this verse of the scriptures.

Pinchomik:
Not to sound overly spiritual but it definitely is a sin, the Bible expressly warns us to flee EVERY appearance of evil and kissing is a prelude to romance or anything salacious outside the confines of marriage thereby we could classify it as "evil" in this context.

Ecclesiastes 7:16 says " Do not be over righteous less you destroy yourself".
Before a Wise lady will follow a man to the alter, She has to be sure that the man is not an impotent. One of the ways of doing that is occasionally kissing the man and observing whether he will have an erection.
Kissing before marriage is not evil. As Christians, we have to be as Wise as Serpent.

Kissing � is a sin cos na from murmuring madness dey take start

Many many kisses in the bible... One woman even kissed Jesus feet... The other man betrayed him with kiss.... So what so special Abt kiss

If you think it's not a sin, why asking?

Jossymekoos10:


My dear, those are qualities of a true Christian. It has nothing to do with being a pastor or not
Now to answer your question
What prompts someone to kiss a particular person or does the person kiss everyone in this world?
It is to satisfy the desires of the flesh for that particular person that he/she kissed
When you have lustful desires towards someone and you go ahead to gratify the desires,
Yes that is sin
Bible said that we should run away from lusts both in thought and actions
Hope your question is answered

I disagree with your opinion. Marriage goes beyond Spiritual understanding. We also need Worldly understanding.
The main reason why people get married is to have kids. Hence when a man proposes marriage to a lady, She has to make efforts to know whether the man's penis is working or not.
One of the ways of doing that is for the lady to occasionally kiss the man and observe if he will have an erection.

No its not

If the kiss is a holy one, it's not wrong

Coz I give aholy kiss, even the Bible said that we should give holy kiss
So na holy kiss I de give, that one is not a sin[center][/center]

abikason:

Can your daughter have sex with whom she's married to in your presence?

At least i must let go when they're both going into a private room as in the two of them alone because they are now married, she is no longer my responsibility immediately both of them are declared man and wife! Genesis 2:24
That is what i can't do until the day she said "YES" in my presence to another man who now becomes her husband and owner! Matthew 19:4-6

Since we don’t see explicit examples of kissing before marriage in the context of dating in the Bible, we have to consider what the bible says.
The Bible tells us that whatever we do should be for the glory of God. And this includes kissing.
“So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” – 1 Corinthians 10:31 ESV
And understanding the intent or motive for kissing is the key to addressing whether kissing before marriage is a sin and is glorifying to God.
The Bible tells us a lot about lust and sexual immorality, and that we are to flee from sexual immorality and lustful desires.
“Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.” – Colossians 3:5 ESV
“For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God;” – 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 ESV
Kissing before marriage stimulates lust or leads to sexual immorality, it is a sin and should be avoided between couples that are not married.

Even if a couple starts thinking lustful thoughts toward each other, kissing should be avoided.

“You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” – Matthew 5:27-28 NKJV

When dating someone, it is so important to guard your thoughts and not let your mind stray towards lustful thoughts. Even if you are engaged and are planning on marrying the person, God still calls us to flee from sexual immorality and to think pure thoughts.

“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” – Philippians 4:8 ESV

I'll try not to be a hypocrite.
I agree that talk is cheap
Help me O Universe.

I just wonder why most people often talk about child abuse or pedophilia, is it because they weren't present when the man/woman was kissing their son/daughter or simply because they never gave their consent before then?

I had this discusion with a friend of mine, and I would like we share our personal and Biblical views about the subject topic. For me its a sin, cos there's an intent to sin(sex), conciously or not. Jesus also said if you look at a woman lustfully and in your heart lust for her you have sinned. Please am not a pastor 'lol'. Awaiting responses.

Kissing is under lust of the flesh, hence, it's a sin

An expression of sexual feelings towards opposite sex include

Kissing , fingering, mouth action, breast sucking, plate licking etc

Judas kissed Jesus. He did it with an evil intent. If he had no evil intent it wouldn't have been a sin, so to me if you kiss your fiancee because of the love you have for her it's no sin.

Two persons planning to marry have the right to ask questions about sex it's not something to be ashamed of, in fact both need to talk about how they're feeling regarding sex because even though both are potent it's wrong for a horse to be yoked with a goat that is also called "unevenly yoked"

Both of them must be potent and not only that but share the same feeling towards romance and sex!

saintvc:
When God gives you lips. You are free to decide what to do with it. The lips become your property

Including insulting people with it. Including smoking cannabis with it.

You can't just do anything with your lips

It's a sin....cos it's pontential sex act

Muslims cannot kiss without marriage.
That is the rule.

All forms of sexual immorality are sinful. Including kissing.

juman:
Muslims cannot kiss without marriage.
That is the rule.

Quotations please!

See what the Bible tells us

No

Kissing is a sin...banging is a sin....looking at woman is a sin....
The only way out is rub ashes on your head and pray all the time
