Bible Question:
Is kissing wrong in GODS eyes? |
Bible Answer: Thank you, l'homme humble, for your question, which is "Is kissing wrong in God's eyes? ..... Of course not, under proper circumstances. Of Romans 16:16, "Greet one another with a holy kiss" John MacArthur says this: "Kissing of friends on the forehead, cheek, or beard was common in the Old Testament. The Jews in the New Testament carried on the practice, and it became especially precious to new believers who were often outcasts from their own families because of their faith, because of the spiritual kinship it signified." ..... And for a husband and wife to embrace, kiss and engage in other physcial intimacies is by no means wrong: "Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled" (see Hebrews 13:4). ..... I suspect that your question may involve broader areas than which I have addressed in this answer, and if it doesn't speak to your question, try to be more specific and resubmit. Someone on the Forum will almost certainly be willing to expand on my answer. Welcome! --Hank |
