Extra Question Details:
I am 18 and me and my boyfriend have been dating for 7 months now and we love eachother very much, we are extremely comfortable with eachother and he respects me in everyway. We are both against sex until marriage and both respect that. It took us four months to even start making out so the relationship has moved maturely and slowly. We sometimes sleep in the same bed however, but there is no sex involved in any way, we just cuddle with eachother and sleep. Is this still wrong? Thanks

If there is no sex what so ever, with clothes, with out clothes, oral, or anything else, just holding each other and actually sleep, I myself don't see anything wrong with it because there seems to be pure intentions involved. However, others may not be so open and may think of it as being inappropiate. Still others may feel that baby steps soon lead to walking and then running, if you get my meaning.
So I suggest to use your indescretion and see what your heart tells you. If you feel fine about it, then it's okay. If you are feeling guilty about it or concerned about it, it may be God letting you know through the Holy Spirit that lives in you, that the Lord does not approve. When God doesn't approve of our actions, the Holy Spirit will convict us by making us feel guilty. That's the Lord speaking to your heart. What is your heart saying to you?
Thanks :)...I never thought of my own guilt as the Holy Spirit speaking through me, that is extremely helpful....and i believe that we do have enough self control in order to keep innocent with baby steps :p...Thanks a lot ^^
Blessed is right. Every good thought that you feel may be the Holy Spirit reaching out to you. It was the Lord who gave you your conscience. Pray to the Lord if you can not tell your mind from the Lord, and he will answer if he sees it fit to.
