Christans..??

Question

Would it be a sin to sleep in the same bed as someone even if you didnt TOUCH them at all?

I'm not saying I did! Just wondering

Answer 1

Yes. Burn in HELLLLLL

Answer 2

No, of course not ... but only if you 'never' touched them at all ever. Your question is 'sort of silly' but does make a good point ... that there are many of us Christians out there who seem to think that there are things as simple as 'sleeping with' someone in the same bed will dam them to hell. I'm a Catholic (which means I am also a Christian) and we are not that 'strict' ... and because we can 'confess' our sins ... either in 'private' to a priest, or 'during mass' when we ALL say the 'confessional prayer' together ... and 'receive forgiveness' (not from the priest, but from God/Christ through the priests words) ... which brought about the 'cliche' of the Catholic who goes out on Friday, gets drunk, goes to confession on Saturday, gets forgiven, and goes to Mass on Sunday ... then goes back to his 'sinful life' on Monday. So I believe that 'just sleeping with someone' is NOT A SIN and there can be 'touching' or not ... and that can be sexual or not ... IF the two people LOVE EACH OTHER, which would mean that they are 'married' (and will have a wedding in church, and will STAY MARRIED until they both die) ... but there are many OTHER THINGS that go into the 'decision' whether something is a sin or is not a sin ... and I'm sorry, but I don't think that there is any HUMAN alive who can 'safely and completely' outline ALL OF THE SINS POSSIBLE on this earth (or in near space). THAT IS GOD'S JOB ... and since God is LOVE and FORGIVENESS, I don't think that there is ANY SIN (yes, even murder and/or genocide) that He won't FORGIVE in the end. To me, Hell is the old Purgatory ... the place where people who have sinned will go to 'get better' ... and for some that may be a very big punishment, but for others I think it will be a very nice place where they can learn what 'forgiveness' really means, until they are able to 'forgive themselves' for their sins. And no, I don't think that ONLY CATHOLICS will go to Heaven ... or even ONLY CHRISTIANS will go. I think that is where we will ALL GO EVENTUALLY ... so, I'll see you there!

Answer 3

If the man and woman are brother and sister and are living under the same roof, it would be permissible, provided there is nothing illicit in their relationship. If the situation is that a man and woman who are not married to each other and are living together and having sexual relations, that would be sinful. If the unmarried man and woman are living together, are not related, and are not having sexual relations, then other factors come into play. First of all, the Bible says that we are to avoid even the appearance of evil. If their living together stumbles others sufficiently to warrant a different living arrangement, then that should be done.
But, basically, an unmarried man and woman living together, sleeping in the same bed, etc., is wrong and sinful.

1 Cor. 6:18, "Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body."
Eph. 5:3, "But do not let immorality or any impurity or greed even be named among you, as is proper among saints."
Col. 3:5, "Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry."
1 Thess. 4:2, "For you know what commandments we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. 3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality; 4 that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, 5 not in lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God."

Answer 4

I believe so. Even if you do not touch, you are still presenting a temptation to the other person or yourself that could lead to immoral thoughts. This may lead you to be a stumbling block for the other person in their Christian walk.
Take care.

Answer 5

Probably not. I don't think that there is anything in the Bible about sleeping in the same bed. I think it has more to do with what happens.

Answer 6

The sin is not in the act, but in the heart first. the physical act is a slave to that which has occurred in the heart.

If you believe in what Jesus has said, his reference to a man looking at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Answer 7

It depends on what's on your mind. If you have lustful thoughts, even if no touching is involved, you sinned.
Otherwise, it is not a sin (as far as I know)

Answer 8

Technically, No. BUT ...

We are not to even appear, or put ourselves in a situation being possibly construed as, being in sin.

But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;

Ephesians 5:3

Answer 9

no... the fact that you sleep next to the other person is not the same thing as TOUCHING them.... shows you have a strong will!!!

Answer 10

It's not a sin but God warned not to tempt because it could lead to that.

Answer 11

Here is what my dictionary states:

1. voluntary sexual intercourse between two unmarried persons or two persons not married to each other. 2. (in the Bible)a. adultery. b. idolatry.

You be the judge.
