Dating/relationships

[Layla Bree]

I have a Christian friend who recently got into a relationship with a man of God (it's a beautiful God centered relationship). I've been asked a question and would like to provide her with the appropriate answer. The first couple of weeks when her and her now boyfriend began talking/dating she was getting over very small feelings she had for a non believer (a man of the world that wasn't good for her) and they shared a couple of last kisses. She stated that she felt guilty and is wondering if she needs to share this information with her now boyfriend. Personally I believe she doesn't need to disclose this information to him, but would love to hear others opinions. Appreciate any advice, or words/scriptures that I can pass on to her to help her in this situation. Thank you.

I would advise that if that's the man of God she wishes to be with as her husband, I would want my (future) girlfriend then wife to be opened and honest to me, and that can possible cause infraction if he finds out later. Plus God said whatever is done in the dark will come to light. (Luke 12:2-3). Plus it's a loyalty thing in my opinion. Plus tell her to not let guilt or shame come over her and to discern between guilt and conviction. First and foremost I believe she should go to God #1 and seek Scripture.

Normally I might have taken the stand of Post #2, but if they were truly last kisses and it is over with, I'd just let it rest. It's over, and why bring it up.

The only reason she should feel guilty is if she is still doing it, in which case she should not mess with either physically until she gets her head together.

Sometimes a last kiss can be closure as in closing the book and starting a new journey as she has now moved on and starting a new relationship. It's only up to her if she wants to tell her new boyfriend, but I see no need of her doing that.
