Question
Is kissing one's date also an act of sexual immorality

Answer
Hi Anita,

Thank you for this great question.  I don't believe that the Bible teaches that kissing is the same as having intercourse outside of marriage.  I do believe however, that Paul teaches that if you are committed to remaining pure, you do not touch at all... in other words, don't start something you do not intend to finish.

1 Corinthians 7:1–2 (AV)
1 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. 2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.


I hope that this helps you.

In Christ
