Christian relationships!!!

i wasn't aware kissing was considered sexually impure. is that an across the board belief or a personal one? i am not criticizing you or what you said at all, (i am pointing that out since this is the internet so you can't hear my "tone", and i don't want to step on any toes ). i thought that as long as that was innocent, not, well, you know [insert hand puppet motions here], it was considered okay.

Yeah I understand lol

Personally, I get convicted if I were to kiss someone or even play with the thought in my head. But in a more thought out sense, kissing is apart of romance and romance is for married people. Also, you can cause not only yourself but your brother to stumble by kissing because it could lead to some dangerous, sensual, impure things.

We are also called to "Flee youthful lust" and that's a dangerous situation.

I love that song in your signature. It's my favourite song by Red :3

I think that is more of a personal conviction. The Scriptures say, "Greet one another with an holy kiss" (2 Corinthians 13:12).

In some cultures (some of which my family grew up in [European]), they kiss each other on the forehead or cheek and mean nothing by it. Men and men, women and women, it doesn't matter. And it's not homosexuality or impurity because it's just what they do. It's kinda hard to explain, but that's just their culture.

Still, the word purity in the Bible is a hard one. We should be strongly convicted by that word. I would suggest a study to anyone on here on the word purity and how it is used in the Bible.

As in kiss, I was referring more to a french kiss not like a greeting kiss lol. The people in the church I started to attend kiss both cheeks as a greeting.

Oh and I'm glad you posted that Paul Washer video, Paul Washer is my favourite preacher!

Paul Washer is definitely my favorite too. I find him very biblical especially when it comes to Christian courtships and God's sovereignty.
