about 3 yrs ago i use to have trouble sleeping till i started sleeping with my best friend. We are goodfriends both born again and have never indulged in anything sexual not even kissing. I enjoy sleeping with him cos it easier for us to pray together, read the bible and we've become closer to God and each other and we have decided that if at anytime it becomes temptation we wld stop it. By the way i'm female.

No, I don't think thats a sin. It's not a sin at all.

Generally I would say that yes, it is sinful to sleep with someone even if you're not having sex -- because it's an occasion to sin, which in itself should be avoided.
In your case, though, it's clear that there's absolutely nothing sexual about it, and no chance of it becoming sexual.
I'm assuming, of course, that neither of you is married to someone else. If that were the case, well ... there would be marriage vows to consider, not to mention your spouse's feelings.
At the end of the day, only you and he can decide if what you're doing is sexual or has a real choice to become sexual.
As long as the answer to both of those questions is "no," then do what makes you comfortable.

you haven't commited a sin against your own body(although have you looked with lust just once?) but you're presenting a stumbling block to the guy(if not both of you) and that is (even if it is ignorance because if you're asking the question you have an instinct something could be up). I won't say what you have and haven't done but you're playing with fire, just setting yourself up for a fall. Man and woman were made to have a certain relationship together, you're fulfilling part of that(company security etc) and not the rest, so its gona get tricky over time, because eventually it will lead to a greater emotional attachment and that will present a temptation if you give things enough time. I won't say you've sinned yet but i will give you a heads up to stop will you haven't or it won't be too long before you will. All the best my sis in Christ

Sleeping in the same room or the same bed is not sin----it is the intent that is the sin. If the intent is pseudo-sexual, that is to say having sex without having sex, then it is sin. In the book of Ruth, Ruth slept at the feet of Boaz and it was not considered sin. Boaz DID marry Ruth in a proper ceremony and according to Jewish law. After three years of sharing the same bed, and presumably not having any major combat between the two of you, don't you think it's about time to discuss marriage?

You are opening the door to temptation. You must understand how God created guys. We are made way different than you in the area of temptation. Your sleep troubles werent solved by sleeping with him. They were solved by the change. You need to be praying for sleep. Find a body-length pillow to sleep with. This is all innocent now, but it will not stay that way. Best to keep yourself clear of temptation, now and for the future, until you are ready.
I dont know how old you are, but if you are of age (and means) to marry, why not pursue a relationship with this guy? What better way to start a life together than to find a friend whom you trust, pray with and read the Bible with? Millions of people marry someone who was just their friend. Just a thought. Best of luck to you, but I would seriously think about finding a safer way to sleep.

You say that you are a female & your friend is a male, Sleep in your own bed. Because that temptation will over take you 2 before you know it.

You know, I seriously think hes fulfilling your need for a spouse.
As a spouse should do just that.
Give you solace, and both people should help each other find God.
So maybe youre better off marying him :)
Love isnt just about sex you know.

Well if you read the bible so much as you indicate, then you should know the answer to your bible question regarding what is sinful and what is not ...
Seems to me it is not a sin, but if it turns out you like the guy, it sure is a long term foreplay ...

Well technically its not wrong. But sleeping together in the same bad is a privilege you want to give to your partner and not anybody else.
So I say its best to go to your own bed before its too late.

You should try the sex also. It's also a good help to fall asleep, it's healthy and natural. Just be sure to use condoms of course.
Enjoy.
