Kissing?
French Kissing?
What about touching?

Is It only sex thats forbidden?
I really need to know the answer to this question.
And any scripture would really help.
Thanks.

Not sure. Apparently Mary went all the way...

but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Matt 5:28
This is one of the most challenging battles men in America face today in part due to how much sex floods every aspect of our culture. You must fight the battle for your purity and hers every day up to your marriage. If Christ is the first love of your life you'll do your best to honor him by waiting until marriage. Most people I know in the church believe that hand holding and perhaps brief kisses are okay, the condition is don't lose control of your thoughts and emotions. Believe me, God will reward you for striving to remain pure in this relationship.
The other noteworthy thing is to remember that if this is the woman you are marrying how she respects you and trusts you depends on whether or not she can trust you to be strong in your love and devotion to her and her well-being.
God bless you both.

I believe that the Bible clearly states that purity is the best solution before marriage. God really emphasizes that sex (intercourse) is for marriage only. (Hebrews 13:4) Other forms of sex such as kissing and such are determined from the biblical standard of purity. I personally would rather wait after I am married to do these things because my future wife does not belong to me at that time and therefore I do not have a right to do any of those things with her. It all comes from God's standard of purity. Hope that answers your question. God bless.

Hebrews 13:4 tells us the marriage bed is honorable and the unmarried bed is defiled. Not only that, but we are told that "God will judge" sexual activity outside wedlock. Many young men and women pay a lifetime for a few minutes of pleasure.
You should know that you are playing Russian Roulette with your life for a few moments pleasure.
Now days if you sleep with someone they will have slept with 15 people, you have essentially slept with the 15 others, also. Are you willing to take that chance with your life in these days of AIDS and STDs?

I'm afraid you'll have to accept that the Bible is pretty silent on the specifics. It seems to be referring to intercourse whenever it refers to sexual immorality. Probably the best thing to do is express to God in prayer how you feel and let the Spirit guide you. Just be careful and safe, whatever you do.

Just another one of those things that non-Christians don't worry about, because they can accept responsibility for their own actions.
All that worrying you do is just a waste of energy.

A general rule is that you can touch any body part that both of you have.
