RULES OF ENGAGEMENT

The desire of doing something starts in the mind long before that actual action occurs. For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, slander. (Matthew 15:19-20) However, all sexual desire must be directed only towards the spouse and not to another person, whether they are real or imaginary.

According to the Bible, God Himself designed the sexual intimacy and implanted it into the desires of the human’s body. Intercourse is a blessing and enjoyment given to us by God. However, the Bible has a strong firm in its teaching that intercourse is to be limited to marriage between a man and a woman, when the two is committed to each other.

The scriptures explains, having an intimacy outside of marriage are totally wrong, this type of act can get a person emotions so heightened that it can break down the defense and allow un Godly desire to manifest.

Because the Scripture did not specifically say, thou shalt not passionately kiss, or thou shalt not engage in pleasurable touching unless married, in order for it to be conflicting to God’s words. Many are overlooking the temptation which could lead to intercourse.

There are many passages that clearly explain this type of behavior. For example, Now flee from youthful lusts, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart (2 Tim. 2:22). This is a warning that flirting with temptation is dangerous to the righteous. The correct response for someone who care about each other and about fulfilling the will of God in there life, is to stay as for away as possible from lustful temptation. This is a command in Scripture.
Passionately kissing and pleasurable touching is sexual and is a part of the sexual relationship of intimacy called foreplay. Talking about the beauty of sexual act and how it can be that very action which protects adultery, According to Proverbs 5:18-20, the writer writes, Let your fountain be blessed, And rejoice in the wife of your youth. As a loving hind and a graceful doe, Let her breasts satisfy you at all times; Be exhilarated always with her love. For why should you, my son, be exhilarated with an adulteress, And embrace the bosom of a foreigner.
But then, this is interesting, the next couple of scriptures follow with, For the ways of a man are before the eyes of the Lord, And He watches all his paths. His own iniquities will capture the wicked, And he will be held with the cords of his sin (Prov. 5:21-22).

I hopped you getting the picture by now, all these fluting and touching is sin apart from the marriage bond. You could try all you want to rationalize and come up with explanation right and wrong and how individual people should behave and avoiding temptation, but God not only sees all we do and think, but He clearly explain that such ridiculous behavior has its consequences.
Don’t you know that foreplay is designed to arouse sexual desire in preparation for intercourse? This type of behavior could get out of hand. Don’t put yourself in the position to wonder why did you sleep with that person and put your relationship in jeopardy. Plus this is to be saved for marriage. Don’t you agree? _______

Here what Jesus said about this, if a man even looks on a woman with a view to fornication, it is the same as committing the act already? Doing this outside of marriage shows that your primary focus is sexual and not a spiritual relationship in which you get to know the other person and are concerned about what is best for them. Here what the scripture said,
Finally then, brethren, we request and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that, as you received from us instruction as to how you ought to walk and please God (just as you actually do walk), that you may excel still more. For you know what commandments we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God; and that no man transgress and defraud his brother in the matter because the Lord is the avenger in all these things, just as we also told you before and solemnly warned you. For God has not called us for the purpose of impurity, but in sanctification. Consequently, he who rejects this is not rejecting man but the God who gives His Holy Spirit to you. (Thessalonians 4:1-8.)
