Relations Before Marriage

It does not say no *** but no holding hands :!:
Usually holding hands leads to ***
If only women knew that if they hold hands they will probably end up having *** before marriage less women would have *** before marriage

And all professing poly-wannabe husbands... :lol:
True story: when I was in hi skule (many, MANY moons ago...) the sister of one of my friends was crying. Her parents finally got her to say what was wrong.
"I think I'm pregnant."
"Why do you think that?"
"Because my boyfriend kissed me."
And she was in (I think) 9th grade at the time...so much for "health ed," the predecessor to sex ed, handing out condoms, and taking children to the abortion clinic without notifying the parents.
Don't you just love our public education system?
And do you remember the Beatles' scandalous hit?

I've always wondered what all the baptized-in-lemon-juice folks do with "greet one another with a holy kiss?" The "harumph" that I was taught in theological school was that "this was just a custom of the day, it's not for today." Hmmmmm, maybe like plural marriage? Who gets to cut and paste, me wonders... 
Seriously, though, having lived in a giant 'hood where honor killing occurs for less, me thinks Sweater Girl is getting off easy, at least in many folks' minds.

Yup, you guessed it...they took literally the command to "greet one another with a holy kiss" (in another place, it's "...kiss of love." "And," he said, "they don't use toothpaste!"
No toothpaste? So what's our excuse?
(Wish we had a "pucker-up" smiley!)
Greet you at the conference... :lol: :lol: :lol:
A church I was attending once had a rep from Gideons (the outfit that puts Bibles in motel rooms) who was telling about his trip to Russia. (Before Reagan "won" the cold war...pardon my political comment...)

Maybe Paul meant that the people were not kissing their spouses enough and the command only pertains to married people.
Or maybe the word could be translated to other things than fleshly kisses.

From Strong's:
G5370
φίλημα
philēma
fil'-ay-mah
From G5368; a kiss: - kiss.
G5368
φιλέω
phileō
fil-eh'-o
From G5384; to be a friend to (fond of [an individual or an object]), that is, have affection for (denoting personal attachment, as a matter of sentiment or feeling; while G25 is wider, embracing especially the judgment and the deliberate assent of the will as a matter of principle, duty and propriety: the two thus stand related very much as G2309 and G1014, or as G2372 and G3563 respectively; the former being chiefly of the heart and the latter of the head); specifically to kiss (as a mark of tenderness): - kiss, love. {emphasis mine}
Guess it means to kiss.
And I still wish we had a "pucker" smiley. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Maybe it just means to be friends.
So then would it be OK to kiss your neighbor's wife on the lips? :roll:
if you are attempting to get to heaven ahead of the rest of us it might be a good plan. be sure to choose the wife of the biggest, drunkest, heathen that you can findDiscussingTheTopic said:
in some families it is common to kiss on the lips while others kiss on the cheek. i have been kissed on the lips by a female friend and it was a little surprising (but not at all unpleasant
). i would say let the female lead on this one

You mean we can't just pucker up and go for it?

When I was a student in Bible school, another student brought this issue up, saying it was Biblical. Staff replied that it was indeed, but you have to kiss every boy in the student body before you kissed a girl. Problem solved. :lol:
uh...do you think I could get enrolled in an all-girl's Bible school...? :lol:
