Since When Did Kissing Become A Sin?

Since When Did Kissing Become A Sin? 

For everyone who thinks kissing for Christians is wrong, tell me, how can kissing be classified as a sin? Hmmm, since when? Where does it say in the bible that kissing is a sin? Well, to be honest (and this is just MY opinion) I don't see anything wrong with it. That might be your area of weakness but not mine, I have control over myself. You're probably just weak in your flesh, that's why it seems so wrong to you. . . . . . . . . . . . .*Tires come to a screeching halt*. All you super saved saints probably thinking I done went crazy. Well don't, cause I'm on ya'll side. YES! Kissing my friend indeed is a sin (before marriage of course). Sorry¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Above are statements/questions I normally get from people or over hear in conversations. How in the world is kissing a sin? I mean, its not like you're having sex right? WRONG! As far as God is concerned PURITY is a MUST. Over the years purity has received a lame nun-like reputation. So before I get down to the nitty gritty of why kissing is a sin, I want to focus on what purity is and why its such a BEAUTIFUL thing. 

The Beauty of Purity  

Purity by definition alone means: Freedom from adulteration or contamination.

The words "freedom from contamination" is what really stands out for me because that is EXACTLY what purity is. Being free from contamination and defilement. The culture of this world has done a great job at making purity seem sooooo WACK! Everywhere you go, everything that's on the big screens and on the internet is laced with lust and and premature intimacy. I compare purity to water in its most purified form. Crystal clear and FRESH. When that water however starts to become contaminated from multiple people dipping into it, what color does it start to turn? What happens to fresh water when its left out in the open with NO covering? You mean to tell me you'll still drink water that multiple people dipped in and that has all types of floaty thingy's in it? (lol I said thingy's). Ok, back to being serious! So yea, basically would you drink contaminated water? If you're truly human, I think NOT! Well thats what happens to our soul. Contamination (impurity) is a grimy sticky film that coats your soul in the spiritual realm. Your soul consist of your emotions and your will. And when your soul is contaminated, so is the way you think and how you feel. Its no wonder the world thinks purity is lame, and feel there's absolutely nothing wrong with having sex before marriage (forget about kissing cause they BEEN threw that out the window going 100mph). I don't care who you are, EVERYONE prefers a brand-new gift rather than a used one. The bible states the EVERY good and PERFECT gift comes from above. And that's exactly what purity is. Its a perfect uncontaminated gift from God that Hes given each of us to put into practice that we might be able to enjoy ecstasy and intimacy to its ENTIRETY under the covering of marriage. The culture today promotes hooking up and random nights filled with passion as freedom. But in all actuality the "freedom" the world has to offer is really freedom to self destruct. Freedom to have no moral standards. Freedom to constantly feel incomplete and empty. Freedom to give a piece of your self away for free with no type of commitment or sacrifice. The freedom to give unworthy people access to whats most precious, only to have them spit in your face and turn around with deuces in the air for you to look at. The freedom to be a soul full of holes that's unable to be patched. Do we really think that was Gods original plan for our lives as He watched our parents cradled us in their arms? Was that His plan when He decided to send heavens BEST (Jesus) to die on the cross for us? The bible states "out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water" John7:38, which spiritually indicates the core of your being. Earlier I compared purity to water. If the core of your being (in this contexts) is like rivers of living water, then what kind of river are you? Are you spring fresh pure? Or are you salt lake swampy? Think about it! . . . . With that being said, lets talk about how kissing is a sin shall we *\^_^/*

The Sin of Kissing

Kissing is not something your lips just automatically do when it sees people. Its a desire that comes from your emotions (heart), not your brain.The root of all evil is rooted in your soul (sinful nature) if you really look at it. All of our wrong decisions were always controlled by how we felt and our willingness to act upon how we felt. There are 3 reasons why kissing  outside of marriage is a sin. 

          

          1. It stimulates youthful lust: The word of God in 2Timothy 2:22 is clear on fleeing away from anything that stimulates lust. Lust is a sin, and you dont need to be saved to know that either. Kissing as we all know it is classified as FOREPALY. No if's, and's or but's about it! No one kisses just because they like the way someones spit taste. You kiss because there is a intimate fantasy of where that kiss will end up leading you. Its a stimulator for intimacy. And premarital intimacy, is just as wrong as premarital sex in the eyes of God. It perverts the true meaning of purity for intimacy.

          2. You're trespassing and violating the body of a person that does not rightfully belong to you. If you are not married to the person, they don't belong to you. POINT, BLANK, PERIOD! Everyone you see whether saved or not, came from God. And Jesus came to die for everyone who would come and accept Him. 1Corinthians 6:20 states "for God bought you with a high price (the blood of Jesus). So you must honor God with your body". You were not crucified for the person, so you do not have the legal right to touch that person in such a manner. They were made in the image of God and only covenant commitment (marriage) gives you such rights. The bible says "each man should have his own wife, and each woman should have her own husband", notice it did not say "girlfriend or boyfriend". So if you are not married to the person, keep your paws and lips OFF!

          3. Your body (including your lips) is the modern day temple for the Holy Spirit. I said earlier that no one belongs to you unless you are married to them, but even YOU don't belong to YOU because YOU didn't die on the cross for yourself either. The bible states in 1Corinthians 6:19 "Don't you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself". This is not some "slave I own you do as I say right now or you'll die because I'm your master" type of stuff, this is just the displayed love of a Father who knows BETTER than we do the consequences of premarital intimacy, so He places certain guidelines until we're ready. A loving parent wont give the keys to the car to their 12yr old just because the child think they're ready to drive. No, they'll give the keys to the child when he/she is 1st mature enough, and 2nd has the appropriate license. The Holy Spirit (if you are a born again believer) lives in you to guide and protect you into ALL truths. So when you open up doors to lust, you not only sin against yourself but you also sin against the Holy Spirit.  

Just Wait For it

So you see, kissing in and of itself is NOT wrong. It's only wrong when its done premaritally. To the world "Don't start nothing you cant finish" is taken as a seductive challenge.  But for single/engaged Christians "Don't start nothing you cant finish" is to be taken as a warning. Don't spark a fire that will eventually grow to big to put out. Kissing is just that spark, and all you need is the match. So don't even play with fire if you're not looking to get burnt. Give your future spouse something to value. Kissing might not seem as anything sacred or special now a days, but it is. And as crazy as this may sound, people will have sex with anyone before they kiss just anyone. So instead of just thinking by keeping your pants up and legs close, you're practicing purity, how about you head to toe put it in to practice: What you think about, what you watch, what you say, your motives, your body and where you go. I don't know about the rest of you all, but I want my husband to KNOW I respected, loved, and thought of him even before I knew him by keeping my spirit, body and soul pure not only before the Lord, but reserved for him. There is beauty in intimacy when its pure don't you agree?
