Bible Question: Hello all. I'm new to this forum. I joined to ask a question and possible get some guidance as to bible verses to read. I'm in a relationship with a girl and we are not sexual active. Sexual active meaning no intercourse or anal. She does not want to have sex till marriage and i feel that sex is not an important part of a relationship and is worth waiting for. But we do perform oral and mutual masterbation. She feels that what we do is not going against the teachings of the bible. I don't feel 100 percent that way either but have had questions. So we both talked about it and funny enough we're both attempting to justify what we do. But I remember grandma saying "With the bible its never kinda wrong." So to cut this short because i could type forever. I'm basically looking for bible verses that say something about foreplay. All the ones i've looked at so far deal with fornication which i translate as sexual intercourse which is not what we are doing, but thats just my translation, i may be translating it wrong to better suit me. Help. |
Bible Answer: Dear James, I wanted to add one more thing. I hope I didn’t come across as too harsh. I commend you for your willingness to look into this and to be as honest as you have been. Most people would not have had the courage (and many simply would not have cared) to even ask. I pray you’ll make the right decision. Ocelot |
