A muslim can go as far as they want if that relationship is marriage :-))\n\nBut seriously outside marriage any kind of fornacation is a sin, and by fornication a mean anything even a lustful look. There is a Hadith that says that it worse for a man to have an axe through his head than even accidently touch who is not his mahram (wife or blood reletive) women.\nFor women (like me) when I'm outside or with non mahram, I must wear hijab (cover myself fully) and I'm not allowed to be alone with a man. etc etc.\n\nWhen I do decide to get married it is not islamic to have a long engagement etc. And I won't be alone with my finace untill after marriage.  Tipically family and friends help find prospective partners, and then arrange a meeting where maybe they leave us 2 in a room, and they wait outside with the door open! And then if you are still not sure it is ok to ask questions by phone etc, before you get married.\n\nBut as you see it is very different from the western version of romance!!

This sounds like some freaky cult not to be insulting but wow. You aren't going to go to hell for dating. You aren't going to go to hell for considering someone for marriage if they are not fully converted (what the heck are you converting into?) As long as you do not have pre-marital sex then you have no worries of going to hell. And even then our lord is a very forgiving lord and he will never stop loving you no matter what you do.

I believe so. It's in the bible. Fornication (sex before marriage) should not be committed. Share that special something with that special someone.

Sin.by accepting Jesus Christ as your savior

There is a difference between an act and a lifestyle.  \n\nIt's the lifestyle that is condemned on all counts (liars, thieves, drunkards, etc.).  \n\nYou could be homosexual and be sexually pure by abstaining, like Christian heterosexual singles do (should do according to the scriptures), and be fine.  \n\nYou have two opposing thoughts posted, so it's hard to tell whether you're for or against it.  God's grace covers sins we turn from.  One cannot commit to a lifestyle and simultaneously turn from it.  Everyone has some sin or temptation they struggle with and must turn to God to deliver them from. No one is singled out.

You're right, the bible does say, "Do not commit adultery" (one of the Ten Commandments).  \n\nHowever, Jesus said in Matthew 5:28 "But I tell you that anyone who even looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart."  \n\nThis eliminates second and third base as well.

Doesn't sound like a very Christian answer to me.\n\nYou need help.

No - to sin or not to sin is based on free-will.  You make the choices that you do, nothing you do can prevent you from having free will.  No, you don't need to be baptised or do anything when you sin, except confess to God and He is quick to forgive.  Remember - Jesus paid the penalty on the cross for our sins, we can't add to or remove anything from what He did.  We just need to acknowledge that we did something wrong, ask forgiveness and know that we are forgiven and God loves us.\n\nBaptism is a public confession of your faith.  It doesn't remove sin, or anything like that.  It says to the world that you have asked Jesus into your heart and are committed to following Him, and you are going to show that you love Him by identifying yourself with His death, buriel & resurrection.\n\nDoes this makes sense?  I hope so!

The Bible doesn't mention it. As far as I'm concerned, as long as you're married, there's nothing wrong with what you do.

Marriage is not essential, it's a choice one make when he/she don't want to be alone.\n\nMarrige according to the Book of Malachi(Holy Bible), says God instituted marriage to seek godly seed. It was designed for this purpose and to be enjoy by married people only.\n\nI Corinthians says stay as you are called, so if you can be celebate, a eunich, or such then don't marry. It's better to marry than to burn with passion.

In this day and age where sex is THROWN at young people it is very hard to stay pure. I did not have sex until I was married BUT I fornicated with 3 men before I met my husband and I hurt myself and I hurt God. According to Websters dictionary fornication is any sexual act outside of marriage (I don't just mean a affectionate hug or a quick kiss on the cheek). I think it is beautiful that you are a virgin and Satan is a liar and says sex and fornication are free Honey it came with a HEAVY price when I had to humble myself to my beloved husband when were were engaged and tell him that I have had experience even though I did not have actual sex, my husband chose to marry me anyway and I am humbled and grateful. The 10-15 minutes of pleasure are NOT worth the consequences of hurt and betrayal. I hope this helps and God bless you for posting.

Honestly, that's a really good question. I hadn't thought of that.  Call a pastor and see what they have to say.

it says not to put yourself in tempting situations and i think that would count as one\n\n1 Corinthians 6:18-20\n1 Thessalonians 5:22-23:\nthis is all i could come with on short notice but look at bible .com it great to look for specific questions

No..No...and No!!\n\nDo not marry anyone under any kind of pressure.\n\nMarriage is about loving someone and wanting to spend the rest of your lives together not being forced down the aisle.\n\nGood luck.

There is nothing sinful about what you are asking.  Rom. 8:1 pretty much cover it, especially in the confines of marriage.

No, absolutely not, sweetheart.\nOnce you love someone, it couldn't be a sin. I mean, don't be promiscuous.\n\nHate people is a sin. Kill somebody is a sin. Envy is a terrible sin. War is a big big sin. Gossip is a sin.\n\nThe gender doesn't matter, God want us to love each other. A love stronger than racism, larger than life. \n\nStay cool!!!
