Today, many churches encourage hugging or cheeks kissing as a form of welcome or greeting to newcomers or even old timers. It is a practice that has been enforced and re-enforced over and over again so that if one go to a church a woman, choose not to hug a brother in the Lord, then she is branded as “not having any Christian love o.”


In a church that encourages lots of hugging and cheek kissing between church members, one who withdraws from this form of greeting is almost ostracized. One brother in a church told a lady ,

“well, in this church, if you don’t like to hug, we are going to have a problem.” At another church, the pastor called a ladu out and said to her “in this church, we hug and cheek kiss to greet each other. And that is why we have so many kids. You need to learn our cultural practice and we will teach you how.” This is after she had refused to greet him with a hug.

What he was really saying to her was that “if you want to come to my church, you have to let me hug your body
the awkward moment when you are beside your patner and a brother gives you a tight 360' hug fot over ten sec and wouldnt let go. Your patner looks suspiciously

How should men hug women when greeting in church fellowships; what does the Bible say about this?

Should men and women hug during 'greet' the one
beside you in Church? How do you feel ? Do you
feel uncomfortable? Have you had any unpleasant
experience from this?

Well hugging is not wrong, it can be a form of greeting. But it's wrong wen u doin it to fulfil ur lustful desires *My thoughts o*

Greet one another with a HOLY kiss. All the
churches of Christ send greetings.(romans16:16)

Whether a hug or a kiss, if it's not holy you should know.

Christianity is not a religion but a social set of pple that accept any form of doctrines that will contribute meaningfully to its population.

For me,I dnt think dats right thing 2 do a church, if a guy hugs a lady with big boob,the guy wil be feelin somtin he shldnt be feelin and temptation myt set in...I guess handshake is the very much welcome...dats my opinion though

The holy kiss which the apostles encouraged was later abolished since it is gradually becoming carnal.

It. Went from kiss to hug to hand shake which is still popularly done in churches today.

I don't know how it is done in your church today but personally I think a handshake will do.

i dont tink d ansa nids to be long, the question is "who abolished it? "

Why lip-kissing in the church, when the person involved is not your spouse. Anything apart from pecking, handshaking in the church isn't allowed, and also hugging between the same gender, with right intention sha o.
