Well im not married to the girl I love but we ahve been dateing for almost a year..But we took a break during the summer. Ok well the question is well she wants to follow the bible and I respect it alot. So well says wanting to go alittle farther such as fingering her and her giveing me a handjob would be lust? I have been reading through alot of the questions about it but I cant come to a conclusion on if it is or not. Yes its a sexual arousal but we love each other and its only with each other and wouldnt be alot jsut once in awhile so would it still be a sin?

That is a good question, and according to the Bible, it is lust. In the book of Job (pronounced Jobe), Job gives his personal testimony:
"I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a girl.
For what is man's lot from God above, his heritage from the Almighty on high?"
Depending on how deep in her faith she is, she may be content with perfoming non-intercourse "activities". But technically, it is lust and it is sexual immorality. According to the Bible, what you two would be engaging in is considered sexual morality. The joys of exploring each other like that are, biblically, reserved to marriage.
I admit, I am a Christian and have given into temptation....in the same activities you are inquiring about. The world is always in contrast to what the Bible says, so we are constantly bombarded with sexuality everywhere. It's tough to live a Christian life and remain committed to sexual purity.
In conclusion, you are lusting for her in an impure manner (according to scripture). If you do fall prey to sin, then you need to sincerely ask for forgiveness and ask Christ to give you the strength and guidance to avoid temptation in the future.

even when ure da ting someone especially when ure married if u look at another woman with lust in ur eyes u have committed adultery....when it says in the Bible u have to be pure.....that means sexually pure as well...dont think that just because u love one another is enough....there's more to it
