Bible Question (short): What unmarried sexual acts are sinful? |
Question (full): What is considered a sinful sexual act between a man and a woman before marriage (what about during marriage)? While I realize sexual intercourse prior to marriage is spoken of explicitly throughout the bible it does not explain about other sexual acts besides intercourse. While I have searched for guidance in this area in many places I have often received conflicting answers. Some say that everything below the neck is wrong, others say that the physical intimacy should reflect emotional intimacy with the highest emotional intimacy (marriage) being equated with intercourse. Still others guide me by saying that one should know EVERYTHING about their partner before marriage in order to make a good decision in choosing a lifelong parter. |
