The Holy Kiss

[NotforSale]

I'm posting this because Sam just reminded me in one his post's about what we did in our Church back in the 70's.

When I was a new convert 31 years ago, my Pastor told the whole Church, you may kiss EVERYONE!

I'll never forget when I laid one on his wife (It was HOLY, so don't worry )

Anyone else ever do the "Holy KISS" thing?

I was at a convention here in Cincinnati. The local church was one of the several "Church of Jesus Christ" groups. They took the greeting with a holy kiss very literally. They limited it to men with men and women to women but they kissed in the mouth. I was a young minister and did not want to offend anyone. It was hot. People were sweaty. The local Bishop that insisted on kissing me in the mouth was old and had a mustache and bad looking teeth. I don't know if I could do that now about 40-50 years later.

Romans 16:16
1 Corinthians 16:20
2 Corinthians 13:12
1 Thessalonians 5:26
1 Peter 5:14

Do you believe the Bible?
Do you obey the Bible?
Are you lost if you disobey the Bible and don't kiss those folks?

Check out those verses in newer (per)versions.
The Living Bible at Romans 16:16 says, "Shake hands warmly with each other."

I suppose kissing someone on the mouth would be considered the most formal as opposed to kissing the neck or nibbling the ears (or worse!).

If I was a sound man at a church like this I can just imagine the fun I would have playing 50's "Happy Days" make out music softly in the background.

Is the kiss of Song of Solomon 1:2 and Song of Solomon 4:11 considered a "holy" kiss?

I would have drawn the line here!! You talk about disgusting! A sweaty mustache and bad teeth is one thing for sure...UNHOLY!

If a dude laid a holy kiss on me I would lay a holy tail whooping on him!!!! Keep the kissing to yourself, unless you are kissing your spouse!
