Bible Question (short): What does Bible say about making out? |
Question (full): Hi, I am eighteen years old and have been saved since I was a child. I have been in a relationship with my girlfriend(also Christian,same age)for a little over a year now . Early in the relationship we both set boundaries according to the Lord's word and teachings. We both saw and still view dating as an exercise to meet a spouse(not just fooling around). One of these boundaries is fornication(obviously) We all know that physical affection reaches a point of no return that leads to fornication. My girlfriend and I have made a promise to keep the right mindset and to keep the boundary lines there, as a "way out" of temptation. Sometimes, my girlfriend and I do kiss for longer periods of time("make out")We make sure that we are controlling our actions and not turning off our brains. Am I doing the right thing here? Also,I am wondering if there are verses in the Bible that relate to this?? |
