Matthew 5:28 says not to lust after a woman or else it is adultery, and Leviticus 20:10 says that the penalty for adultery is death. It is important to know that hugging, kissing, and hand holding are considered sexual acts, and thus are prohibited by God until marriage and even within marriage are only to be done sparingly behind closed doors.

And then sparingly, behind closed doors after marriage? No hugging? Kissing? Touching? That's not how human relationships work. Is OP a lizard whose tank has wifi?
More likely, he just hates himself for wanting to have more human contact than that.
... behind doors, under a veil, in the dark, with as little direct contact as possible and in total silence. And heaven forbid if you accidently look at your partner before, during or after the act.
I don't know why, but I somehow doubt that god is as painfully prude and obsessed with sex as certain religious people (for example the OP) are.
"Hugging" - I mean...ok, you're pressing your bodies up against each other, so I can kinda see that.
"Kissing" - Well...less than hugging...but ok, no kissing until you're married.
"Holding hands" - ...I got nothing
Elvis will come back to haunt you for abusing his name with drivel like that.
Oh, I get it, you're another incel. Do you tremble with passion if you should inadvertently catch sight of a feminine ankle?
"....hugging, kissing, and hand holding are considered sexual acts, and thus are prohibited by God....."
[thinks back on his last date] Well, that's me screwed, then.

Important for whom? I find that just as important as knowing that the horn of the Crumple-Horned Snorkack is not explosive, while the Erumpent horn is.
Hugging and hand-holding are sexual acts to you? You're in for a HUGE surprise!
hugging, kissing, and hand holding are considered sexual acts
Only by idiots who don't know what "sexual" means.
What a horrible life you must lead... never making contact with others of your species for fear of it being seen as sexual by your twisted version of God.
Fuck's sake, I look at people that assume massages are sexual with confusion. Contact, be it friendly, therapeutic, or social is NOT sexual by default. What the fuck?

"Holding hands" - ...I got nothing
Because they use those hands to touch disgusting body parts, so if you hold a girls hand you're touching her [whispers] *unmentionable spot* by proxy. And if she holds a boy's hand, then she's touching his sin wand by proxy.

Many of us are concerned about God's obsession with sex.
And fundies' obsession with butt-sex and man-on-dog sex.
What about holding paws with my cat? OK, if I close the door
and turn out the lights so God can't see me?
"Matthew 5:28 says not to lust after a woman or else it is adultery,"
Well then you failed. You lusted after a girl who wasn't your wife. Time for you to stop preaching now.
"Leviticus 20:10 says that the penalty for adultery is death."
If you say so but many Christians try to downplay OT rules to appear "tolerant" or "loving" but if you say we are to adhere to it, you said it.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
