Wow, what a way to think about lust - that everything else we are to resist, but lust we are to flee from! Great way of putting it! Y'all have given this hugger a lot to think about 🤔

[jimmythetrumpet]

Hugging isn't a sexual act unless you choose to make it one. First and foremost it is an act of comfort, appreciation etc. Nothing wrong with hugging from the get go. I am also a Christian.

[ambermiller]

Hugging is not sexual. Human beings were created to show and receive affection. Hugging is one of the most innocent ways to do so.

I think hugging is fine but if it makes you feel turned on or something, then it’s fine to stay away from it... but that’s personal to just you and your partner.

[lindakohlman]

Hugging can be very dangerous if you have feelings for someone. I know just hugging has sent my mind down temptation road. Love your mindset!

[fdasjrfewklew]

So I’m supposed to get married to someone I’ve never hugged before ? What? Y’all need to chill on hyper-sexualizing everything cause you fear sexual expression is a bad thing even in something as simple as a hug.

[Musicalowl]

Okay, I'm all for boundaries in Christian dating, but this is a little extreme. Hugging doesn't have to be sexual, in fact, I hug my male and female friends all the time and this has never been an issue. Hugging is just a simple way to express love between friends or otherwise. I appreciate the desire to honor God in all that we do, but I think sometimes we as Christians tend to overthink it, and when we overthink things, we are not living in freedom. If this is your personal conviction, I think there's absolutely nothing wrong with following that, but not everyone has been led in this way.

This is too far. Should we avoid prolonged eye contact too?

[valorandstrength]

In all due respect, if a person is having problems not touching someone’s butt during a hug on a third date, that seems more of a self control issue on their part. 😅

I feel bad for their future kids when they start dating

not every physical act leads to sex or lustful thoughts

[clintferguson]

... .... I'm a Christian but I can't even begin to comprehend this. This blows my mind. No hugging? You have GOT to be kidding me.

[itisvals]

I'm from Italy and I'm Catholic. If you brought this mentality here you wouldn't stand a chance like, hugging and kissing cheeks is the first thing you do when you meet someone. ANYONE. And I remind you I literally live in the country where the freaking Pope lives! (Ok he actually lives in the Vatican city but you get my point). Not even us are THAT extreme in relationships, I'm so surprised every time I see these kind of Christian lifestyle videos that are always from Americans, like how did it turn out like this? I know I'm no one to judge you and I won't, I'm just so really curious about why Americans took Christianity to such a strict mentality and how they're okay with it, not even hugging people? I really don't understand.

But most of all, why was this in my recommendations?!

[sincerelysaesha]

My mom always said holding hands leads to hugging, hugging leads to kissing, and kissing leads to sex. I literally use to laugh in her face cuz that sounded so ridiculous! But being a christian and not dating for months or years, touching in any matter, can be vital in staying pure. Physical touch is my first love language. We have to know ourselves and be honest about it to honor Jesus in our process🙌🏼

[sunithagirish]

They're not talking about simple hugging... they are talking about a couple who has feelings for each other, hugging.

[troutswim]

I can completely understand waiting until marriage for sex, but an important part of a relationship are simple things like hugging/kissing/holding hands. I just couldn’t do that.

[dorcasojiakor]

I have so many guy friends that I hug everyday! Hugging isn't sexual, it's so casual and doesn't have to be taken in a sexual way. It's not 'pressing up' or 'feeling' or 'leading to anything' or view it that way. If you see everything as leading to sex then it just gets ridiculously extreme and soon youll be saying it's wrong to put your arms around each other and hold hands because it leads to 'physical attraction' and 'lust' like no it doesn't. I really understand where you're coming from and think there is wisdom behind your opinion and views on Christian dating but I know Christians who saw absolutely nothing wrong in hugging, holding hands and kissing before marriage but still stayed pure and saved sex for marriage. My thoughts are: the bible doesn't say anything wrong with kissing, hugging, holding hands etc. before marriage so there's nothing wrong with it and they shouldn't be viewed as a sexual things, they should be harmless, cute and romantic ❤

[sanjanapai]

im sorry but if hugging is enough to make you wanna bone someone, you already wanted to do it. You’ve already kind of sinned or whatever

[andrewisaac]

I strongly disagree with your approach. Touch is a vital part of every relationship. Of course sex should be avoided till marriage. However, not kissing, nor even hugging is too far. Touch is a vital part of any type of relationship friends, family, and boy/girlfriend relationships. Your attempts of avoiding hugging and kissing before marriage seems to be more through out of the fear of having premarital sex, rather that sustaining a healthy relationship.
However, thank you for your videos. They have been really helpful. Have a nice day.
