Making out and such, is a near occassion of sin and can easily lead to other acts, so it's best to keep it sweet and restrict that kind of contact to light kisses. It's never a good idea to play with fire.

[quote name='Sinner' date='Sep 28 2004, 11:38 PM'] "Making Out"........ not a good idea. Hold hands, short hugs, light kisses. More will usually bring about........ um more. [/quote]
More, and more... with a little more!

Yep. Always ask - why are you dating the person? Actually, if you are around that age where you are ready to date I suggest a few protestant books:

I kissed Dating Goodbye
I gave Dating a Chance
and Everyman's Battle or Everywoman's Battle (depending on gender)

If you're in it so that you're body can feel good, it's not a good thing. Love is self-giving, not self-seeking.

Sex is only for inside of marriage and is meant to be completely self-giving. Man and wife are to give themselves completely, not just their bodies or a part of themselves, but all of themselves, to one another. Likewise, this involves God, who blesses the marriage because of this pure self-giving, which is also a total gift to Him, as it is a giving of pure love and He is involved deeply in it.

Contraceptives are a grave evil and should never be used.

Think to yourself...would I want to give myself or would I want to take for myself? That is the difference between love and lust.

One must make the descision to love the other person and not use the other person.

Making out is using the other person for pure sexual pleasure (Inside of marriage affection that leads to arousal serves a greater purpose as it is possible for it to be intergrated into love and thus these actions are not using the other person).

When you cross the line between affection and arousal, you treat the other person no longer as a brother or sister in Christ, but an object.

I'd hate to think y'all are limiting yourselves a bit too much.

I see nothing wrong with (chaste) cuddling, as long as it's fully clothed and the hands never go where they shouldn't be. Short kisses ARE a good idea, though.

and really, if you should say...become aroused by light kisses, or cuddling, then you need to not do those things. Everybody has a different threshold. You need to learn to recognize the feeling of lust and squash it.
