Me and my girlfriend are both practicing christians and we have never had sex, although we really enjoy each other's company and like to sleep in the same bed sometimes. I just want to hear some views on whether or not this is wrong in a christian veiw .

The amish do it...I'm serious...
No, I don't believe that its wrong from a biblical standpoint. My fiance' and I do so, and we have enough respect for each other to know that nothing will happen, so we don't even think about it. We just lay together, fully clothed, and cuddle untill we fall asleep...and we hold each other all night.
However, if you feel like there is great temptation for you or her to do more then sleep, then its best not too. Another thing - watch where your hands go. If you wake up and either one of you are touching each other intimately more then a couple times, I'd stop. You never know what might be happening while you are asleep.

I think it really depends on what your doing in the bed. As long as you aren't doing anything, it technically isn't all that wrong. However in Biblical times it definitely was. But the temptation is there, and you don't want to set yourself up to fail or do anything you would regret.
Also, if you ever told anyone this, you might get some looks, just because people assume.

Some will say yes,but i see no wrong even if you do have sex,you have been labeled with that in most peoples eyes any way.If you are a christian He will for give you want he like he for gives other sins nobody is sinless.so what is one more sin.I would think it would be a sin not to make love at this point he put you together to be happy,he make man and women to have sex or we would all be the same.

Absouloutly not, if you are both fully clothed then everything is cool. If you enjoy each others company then heck sleep in the same bed. But it would be wrong to have sex before marrige.

The only thing I find wrong with this is that you are putting yourself in greater temptation. You both must have enormous self-control, stubborn, determination or all the above. And where are the parents? Are you of legal adult age?
The Bible also says to avoid the appearance of evil. I doubt most people would believe you.

depends on your take...
from a conservative point of view, it's wrong; it's adultery, plain and simple
moderate and liberal Christians(like me)would say it's an expression of love which will be fulfilled in marriage and there's nothing wrong with engaged people sleeping together and even having intercourse
bottom line: your call, you have to live with your decision

No it is not. Sex it is not "Wrong" if done responsibly. Your personal morals should be the compass for that not your religion. Just think someone else decided that not you. Do you really want someone else making those decisions.

Only you can tell yourself whether or not it is wrong.
Personally, though, I would never buy a car I had not test-driven.

I'm not a Christian, but I don't think it's wrong.
