Whether your serious or not I will answer for the sake of others too.
This has actually been asked before in another section. Kissing is not a sin. However it CAN lead to sex. So its more of a question of asking yourself if you think kissing may be to much for you to handle, this leading to sex. There are some who say if you french kiss though, then it is a sin. For that I truly don't know because french kissing is not normal kissing, but its also not sex. Its a grey area.

He answered your question, nothing more to add. Kissing is not a sin. Sex before marriage is a sin, and so is sexual touching or oral sex before marriage.
But simply kissing is not a sin. Also, nothing changes upon engagement you aren't married, and are not bound to one another yet. So sexual relations are still a sin even after engagement, because you aren't any less not married than before.

Who cares..? What matters is what the Bible says. End of story. The Bible never once refutes kissing before two people are married. Not once. So the Word has spoken, and there isn't much more to say.
And many Christians refuse to do it because of temptation. It's true, yes, that when you put your lips up against a woman or a man that you are in love with and attracted to, obviously sexual feelings come out.
But if you can control it, and not let that go deeper and deeper until you are in bed together then no, it's not a sin. It's the "means to an end" argument against kissing. But it's all silly, because saying kissing leads to sex is like saying you have no self control at all.
Act like adults and there won't be any problems.

in the 21st century c.e., we don't need to meet people in person to know what they're about. now, we have a device called a computer that allows us to access something called the "internet" which enables us to learn and find out about all manner of ppl we'd never have normally met in real life (thank God for that part!!!!!). neat huh?

Kissing is not a sin. I'm saving my first kiss for my wife, as its all I have left. Already gave my virginity away(weird that we never kissed though...), and I hate that decision every day of my life. So I'm saving my kiss for my wife.

u didnt explain anything. all u did was say the bible doesn't mention it. That doesn't explain why people still act this way. they all follow the same bible we all do. And the bible doesn't say whether you can drive a car or use a computer, so i guess those are also sins? why are u here then if it's a sin?
