Question
is flirting a sin, and does it grieve the Holy Spirit?

flirtatious behaviour such as deliberately stimulating attraction for the opposite sex. through speech, eye contact, mannerism and body language?


Answer
Any person that flirts with another, also flirts with the danger of causing another to sin. If we lust after another that we are not married to, we commit adultery in our hearts. Those that would use flirtatious means of attraction, are causing a brother or sister to stumble, and therefore would be a sin.

With Love In Christ,

Expertise

I seek to help Christians in doctrinal matters. Many Christians think that doctrine doesn`t matter, yet the Scriptures indicate otherwise. It is my desire to share from the Word of God with those who have legitimate questions. As such, I cannot claim expertise, except that I will seek to answer from the Authority (the Bible). If I cannot find a Biblical answer, I may offer an opinion based upon my understanding of Scripture, or I will simply reply with an, "I Don`t Know".
