Christian singles kissing while dating is wrong

Well the bible clearly states that we should flee from all appearances of sin (evil). Kissing might not be a sin, but it definately can lead to a sin so why indulge in it. It is not worth it for us singles to turn ourselves on unnecessarily when we know we can't yet have sex, so in my opinion I know it's best and wise to save ourselves the rush of hormones and just wait till the right time (marriage).

Paul's addition

I see what you're saying Seke, no point firing yourself up for nothing, and if you play with fire you will certainly get burnt, and kissing while dating as Christians is playing with fire, especially deep passionate kissing. The spirit might be willing to do the right thing but the flesh is always weak and as long as we remain in this human flesh, the flesh will desire fleshy things and you make it worse for yourself by putting yourself in a compromising situation.

I think one of the major problems is what we feed ourselves with as Christians, we watch the secular movies where it is a norm to do all those things while kissing and subconsciously we accept it as part of being in a relationship, but we must remember that we are not supposed to conform to the worlds way of doing things, just because its okay for them to kiss while their dating doesn't mean its acceptable for us.

We really must be careful what we are feeding our minds and hearts as Christians because your actions flow out of what you are feeding yourself and if your feed on the world you will be just like the world.

SELAH!

Thanks for the wonderful addition Seke.
