That, in turn, strengthens the life of the church and society. Bringing sex into proper order involves individual self-control, mastery over desires. From a Christian standpoint, this is a positive ideal. From a scriptural perspective, this is a degraded view of sex. It treats sex as something an animal does rather than as something that a human being does.
Animals follow their instincts.
Human beings use their minds to understand God's purposes for life, and make their decisions in line with those purposes. The Lord is calling us to communicate this vision to the people we are leading. We should not merely try to avoid the grossest violations of God's law. We should also exclude behavior that goes part way to violating the law, even while not perhaps violating it in its fullness. But the traditional Christian view is that making out constitutes engaging in fornication or adultery.
