If you are wondering how far you can go physically with someone, you have your eyes set on the wrong thing. If your concerns are focused on limits then I am certain that your eyes are not focused on Christ. The question should not be 'how far can I go?' but rather 'how important is it for me to be as Christ-like as possible?' It's like asking, 'How close can I come to stealing without actually st...
