Kissing and French kissing are very common activities between both couples who are dating and married couples. There are two important passages that will give us a biblical principle about kissing before marriage. The first passage is 2 Timothy Now flee from youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart. This verse commands us to flee the strong lusts that occur in youth. This word refers to strong passions and emotions.
These lusts are greatest in adolescence and usually decrease with age. This verse teaches that we are not to intentionally cause ourselves to experience the passions that are especially strong at a young age. While there are many passions that are common in youth, sexual passions are the strongest of all emotions. What can incite sexual passions and emotions? The answer is touching someone of the opposite sex or daydreaming about someone of opposite sex .
Matthew warns us to not indulge in thinking about having sex with another person who is not our husband or wife. This means that it is a sin for an unmarried man or woman to do anything that will cause himself or herself to be intentionally sexually stimulated. It is also a sin to cause another person to be sexually stimulated, unless we are married to that person.
