Kissing when not in a relationship - is it wrong/sin?

To say something actually on topic I agree with the general consensus that it is a matter of conscience and will attest to having been in relationships where that matter of conscience has been different

If anyone wants to kiss me, I'll be waiting. ;-)

I'm just curious. Because most Christian seem to think it's fine to kiss their partners before marriage (while still in a relationship), so I'm wondering how it's any different to do it when not in a relationship. After all, a relationship is not formal at all, just like not being in a relationship is not formal.

I don't see how it could be a sin or be wrong to kiss someone you're not in a relationship with.
For me, I prefer to save kissing for someone that I really want to kiss, rather than someone I feel obligated to kiss.

I don't see it as wrong, but I would only want to kiss someone I love.

1. Just because the Bible doesn't say it is wrong, doesn't mean it is permissible.

2. You cannot draw a line around every rule and definition. Many things in life have fuzzy boundaries. And for some reason vagueness makes us feel uncomfortable.

It can be a sin if the kiss is prompted by lust. In that case the lust is the sin and the kiss is the act that shows/confirms the lust.

A kiss is an awakening key to love, sexuality.....

Like in fairy tales. Sleeping Beauty woke up because of a single kiss. Snow White too...

So though kissing as a form of greeting sounds fine (because it means 'hello' in other countries, the holy kiss greeting, etc), I don't think I would like to kiss someone romantically while not being in a relationship with them. That kind of kiss sounds so meaningless and hollow, not to mention a waste of my time and energy. Might not even please God.

I'm a hopeless romantic anyway. I want to kiss the man I'd want to spend the rest of my life with on my wedding day. And it would be my first kiss too. See, first kiss=love awakening. So cheesy...Big lol!

It's arguable that it's sin outside of marriage.. But I suppose what's okay and what isn't seems to change with the times.

Do I think it's wrong? No, ofcourse not. Sinful? Well, kissing isn't a sin, lust is.

And I'm sure I've reiterated what others have said already.

No kissing outside a relationship.

It's only wrong for people who think it's sinful, or are otherwise uncomfortable with the idea.

Good answer

if there is nothing wrong with kissing, then you shouldn't mind your girlfriend making out with me....
