I just told you. It sets parents up for failure and sets children up for damnation.

That's an answer to the hope you believe in with regards to
Salvation! Not persuading your children to be obedient! Goodness!

Kissing leads to lust. Lust really angers the LORD. I mean,
really angers the LORD (Matthew 5:28 ; Colossians 3:5; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10; etc). Maybe not as bad as kissing another person with the same plumbing (Leviticus 18:22 ), but it's up there, and why play with fire, know what I mean? Why taunt the LORD with something you know He just absolutely hates so much (Revelation 21:8)? Besides, it's not like you can hide it from Him. He knows when you're feeling randy even if you're not consciously aware of it at the time (Psalm 139:2). You can't fool God. No one has hidden anything from Him since Adam and Eve played Hide The Pickle In The Garden and look how He responded (Genesis 3:23-4)!

My neighbor isn't unsaved scum. Why would I call her that?
