Hi,
Not about the religion, it is about the person. There are good Christians, Muslims, Buddhist, Wiccans, and etc, as well as bad ones. Gotta see passed all that and accept the person as they're despite religious differences. That is what makes someone a good Christian. God accepts all into his kingdom.

Well the Biblical guy that GOD says is a man after HIS heart (David) had a bunch of wives, and had a good guy killed so he could have sex with his wife!
Men are hard-wired to be easily, sexually attracted to women. Most men I know struggle to stay righteous in this regard. Extend some grace to your brothers. Women have their own sinful issues that have to be dealt with as well.
We don't exist...sorry, None of us are Good that's why we are Christian because we admit that we can't save ourselves. The term you are looking for is Godly Christian Guys, and yes we do, but never forget men are human...we make mistakes...we hurt people intentionally and by accident, and most of all...we fail, but that's why we have the Holy Spirit and that's why Jesus came and died on the Cross for us...but make sure they are Christian first...haha.
I thinks sometimes we forget that Singleness is a calling too...Some people God designed to be single.

I know what you mean. I have been mistreated by so many guys that it is disgusting. But don't give up! The right guy will find his way to you and will treat you with respect. Take my word, no guy isn't a perv, it's just who they are, but the smart ones will know when enough is enough. I know it's hard but hang in there! He'll turn up sooner than you think! All in Gods timing
In my experience, you don't typically find "the one" or your life partner when you're a teen. People I've heard of getting married when they're a teen or really young typically end up divorced, leaving in its wake one or two children who suffer from it. There ARE people who marry young and CAN make it - however, they would have to be mature enough to handle the responsibility, and that maturity (especially in this day and age where many go on to college - which is really just an extension of high school responsibility-wise - for most) is needed to handle conflict in marriage in a good and healthy manner.
I'll just subject my experience. You know, I THOUGHT I was mature enough for marriage when I was a teen - I know now looking back on it that I wasn't. I met my husband and married him at age 28. Usually, if you want a good guy, you have to wait, because it does take guys (typically) some time to mature, and women too.
And I can affirm that the best thing to do is to NOT LOOK FOR HIM. Focus on school. Focus on learning as much as you can about Scripture. Get involved in activities at school and at church. Plan your career. There are SO MANY things you could be spending your energy on while you wait - and please, DON'T assume that the first "good" guy that comes along is the one for you. If it had worked out with me and a Christian guy I met in 2005, I would've been miserable and in a restrictive place. (If you need elaboration, I'll give it to you.) I friended my husband in 2012 only because he had commented in response to mine under a mutual friend's status - and it was a disagreement! But a civil one, at that, and I was like, "I want to hear more of his views." Well, the weeks drug on and we started talking more after his fiancee broke up with him. And we decided to meet. Love at first sight. And you know the amazing thing? He says he almost NEVER accepts friend requests from people he don't know - just for some inexplicable reason, he made an exception.
So yeah, it DOES take time, and you'll probably have your heart broken a few times before finding your life partner. But right now, focus on YOU. Develop YOUR character, worldview, and knowledge. Know yourself. And if my experience is a guide, when you find yourself, and are content with it (in other words, you love yourself - in a healthy manner, of course), it won't be long before he steps into the picture. How can you love someone else if you don't love yourself?
God bless, and well wishes.

so you believe in violence then? Not very Christian. I am Christian and I'm honest. I don't support hypocrisy nor do I support all Christians. Just because someone reads a bible doesn't make them a Christian. On the contrary, I've met many atheists who were very beautiful people inside and who've contributed a lot to society.
God accepts all into his kingdom, and nor should anyone fear him. And God does not cast violence upon anyone. He loves all and forgives all. And one final note, I don't discriminate towards anyone. I have Buddhist friends, atheist friends, and Wiccan friends. Wicca is a very interesting path.
There is a lot of hypocrisy within the church. Especially towards homosexuals and women. In Gods eyes, we are all equal.
peace and love

Do I believe in violence? Where did you pull that from? No, I believe what God's Word says. I know full well that just reading the Bible doesn't make someone a Christian. Did you read my earlier post? Repent of your sins and trust and believe in God. That's what needs to be done for one to become a Christian and walk in Spirit and Truth and in light of eternity with Christ. Again, try reading the Bible to see what it really says about God and His nature.

You are aware that you avoided the question, right? Pretty much what you are saying is that God won't accept someone into his kingdom if he/she doesn't do as God says. To me that sounds like a threat. The bible was interpreted by men as seen in the Quran. Prejudice, cruelty, hate, and violence were common during ancient times, and were practiced in churches.
I am a secular Christian and I interpret the bible according to what I believe. If I was born during the roman period, I probably would have been burned alive by the church. Thus being stated, my bible doesn't say what yours says. Apparently we have different interpretations.
