l want to know if kissing and romancing are part of fornication.
Already, l know that they led to fornication.
But assuming after kissing and romancing it didn't end in fornication [i.e. intercourse or the main thing]?

If you mean kissing and romancing someone else other than your spouse, then it definitely is fornication.

Fornication is like having sex. Actually, that is wht it is (sexual intercourse). So yeah like you said kissing and doing all those romantic stuff can lead to fornication. But they are not fornication.

I guess chigszy is right.

fornication: Sexual intercourse between partners who are not married to each other.

i agree with hot-angel and chigszy

Sex is normally as I read in a book not bad but the betrayal of trust after the convequences of an intercourse has surfaced has made sex to be frowned upon as though it's bad.

There are also STI and things like unbudgeted pregnancy branding sex its bad stigma.

God in His infinite wisdom, as I read from this book made it (sex) for the enjoyment of a man and a woman.

But the wrong man with the wrong woman is I dont know.

I can only have it with u if I luv u n know I can live with u in case any pop-up but if not I may pretend n never come to do it cos I know that I will find it difficult to accept the outcomes with u.

So, conclusively, kissing is not fornication but romancing is.

i say it depends on what kind of kissing and romancing is definitely fornication

Fornication isnt just vagina n penis.what would u say about lesbianism , homosexuality?
Truth is- Fornication is any form of sensual/sexual gratification. There could be fingerin in "romancing". We don't have to be diplomatic about it.

"Dont dance near fire if u don't want to get burnt"

Kissing, petting, necking, touching under clothes and the rest of them are meant to prepare "married couples" for intercourse. So really, if you do not want to go all the way, why engage in such?

If you ask me, i would say kissing, intense romance, etc are all ways of fornicating because there is a form of sexual gratification arising from doing same.

***if you dont wanna eat it, dont taste it*** Fleeee!!!

pple pleez!

why r u all splitting hairs here, its simply crazy to try n make any distinction here. Just imagine if ur boyfriend or girlfriend caught u kissing or romancing another person or vice versa wld it be an acceptable response to say; oh! at least we were not fornicating . the thing wey no good e no good o!
These road to fornication starts in our hearts b4 being translated in2 action, which starts of course with romancing, then kissing, so let us not attempt to divorce one from the other, because once weve kissed a person then xcpt we are plain foolish or cruel we usually hav decided that we wldnt mind sleepin with that person. thereafter wat is left is time and opportunity to finish the deed, that of course will not apply where the man is just a useless fellow or something monumental occurs to cut short the romance (like one of them leavin the country or dying).

This is not to say im a saint, but where im concerned once the romance starts and it has led to kissing, then its just a matter of time b4 we shld get introduced personally to the womans more intimate parts. Less any unforseen circumstances, I always endeavor to finish wat i start

So pple my words of wisdom r; its all the same sh.....t if ur not thinkin of doing it then dont start lest u end up toying with another persons feelings.

@klex even if it is wif your bf or gf it is not fornication but the thing is wht d hell is he/she doing with someboby else other than with you

it is still not fornication is we are trying to follow the definition of fornication.............

Who says that kissing and necking and touching and what have you are not fornication? Guys please! What then do you call that? an Introduction to fornication?
For people who don't know the definition of fornication, it means " voluntary sexual intercouse of the unmarried, sometimes extended to cases where only one of the parties concerned is unmarried"
Klex, you have got it all figured by saying the road to fornication starts in our heart.
Kissing and necking and Romancing are all ffffffffffornicating.
Its a wrap!

thank u fabian for educating chigszy

To this question.Am going to look at it in two ways.One:Kissing and romancing is not a sin because these does not involve the sex organs.Two:It is a sin because the word of God says we should flee from sin and things that can lead to sin.you might want to kiss and romance alone but you know this body when the fire has been set on to put it off will be difficult thereby going into the sin of fornication.ciao!

Yes my dear if done by unmarried ones, or outside marriage.

Yes it is!

ROM 16:16 Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you.

1CO 16:20 All the brethren greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

2CO 13:12 Greet one another with a holy kiss.

1PE 5:14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to you all who are in Christ.

Kissing inform of greeting is not fornication but romancing arose sexual instinct that normaly leads to romatic thoughts, which is the sin of fornication.

@Hnd-holder
According to theologians, the holy Kiss isnt mouf-mouf. Its usually a kiss on the foehead or cheek-cheek.
Thats not the kind of Kiss here obviously.

Brother, they have thesame effect, Kiss na kiss.

Just like saying money na money. aiight? 10$ isnt same as 100$ bro.

Smaller Money = small kiss eh Big Money $100 Big kiss Kiss na kiss the intention may differ

Just place them appropriately.

Using big kiss for the wrong person can switch intentions o!
