Ethics

Recently, I have come into contact with professing believers who are living with their boyfriend or girlfriend in a non-sexual relationship.

These people have all said that it is not a sinful situation since they are not committing fornication.

In my spirit I feel that this still grieves God even though there is no fornication - am I wrong?

Has anyone had experience with this or does anyone have scripture that would deal with a situation like this?

Don't have much time to look up the verses I'm thinking of, but how about not giving the appearance of evil and feel youthful lusts. When you're in a house together with no accountablity, it doesn't look to great and there is a strong temptation to sin. How does that look to other Christians and non-Christians?

2Tim 2:22 "So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart."
