I have to disagree with you on this crosstweed. In fact I know there is scripture that proves you are wrong about this, so terribly wrong, but I can't find it right now. But I swear it's there, and when I find it I will show you just how wrong you are. :p
Yeah... maybe in your NIV... ;)

Is this the verse? Col 4:6. Sometimes being polite will not get the message across. You have to season it with salt. There are times when Jesus was not polite at all. His honesty came across as rude to the pharisees, He also did not wash His hands on purpose during dinner with the pharisees. But He does all this with grace because He wants to correct them.

Colossians 4:6 NIV

Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.

Is it wrong that I like a bit older than me men than guys my own age? I am not trolling or any of that I am really just curious.. Is it sinful or wrong in any way? .. I'm not saying I like 60 yr old men but I'd say guys who are 3 maybe to 7 yrs older than me lol...
Hardly!!! It is normal for a woman of your age to want a man older as a 25 year old is equal to a 17 year mentally in many ways. Remember they mature at a different rate. When I was in High School I dated all guys in College and now that I am older I date younger as they are more adventurous and can have fun with me. It's all good!!! Be Blessed!

If you were my daughter or granddaughter, I would advise you NOT to ask the world wide web who you should date. In fact, I'd be extremely concerned for you because there's too much of a chance someone might take advantage of your youth. I suggest you ask your parents, grandparents, family guardians, pastor and/or counselor.
people like putting their nose where it doesn't belong hm...
I'm sorry you think I don't have the right to warn young people of the danger of the internet. Please feel free to disregard my comments.

As for anyone else who might be interested about internet safety:

Troll - An internet troll is someone who amuses themselves by deliberately creating conflict by starting debates and upsetting people by posting provocative messages in a forum or chat room. It often escalates into online harassment, as the troll will try to rally people on their side to aim their attack on a particular person or persons. If they get called out on their behavior, they will accuse their victim(s) of being the perpetrator. The more grief they can cause, the more they are entertained.

Catfish - Someone who pretends to be someone they’re not using social media to create false identities, particularly to pursue deceptive online romances.

Predator – Sexual predators prey on people (mostly children) online and usually pose as teens when in reality they are teachers, businessmen, students and world travelers ranging in age from 19 to 60.

This may seem like common sense to many, however when adults and kids are desperate for friendship, they will let their guard down. Predators target the vulnerable and look for those who show signs of emotional or psychological dysfunction.

Trolls, predators and catfish always use questionable comments and sensational topics to get as much attention as possible to increase their playing field.

Catfish, extortion, sexual predators, cyberbullying, cyber-stalking and other dangers online are quite common and we need to always make our young people aware of online safety.

Particularly as parents & grandparents, we should make it a priority to not only teach our kids the importance of watching how they interact with others online and respecting wise counsel, but we need to keep our eyes open for these types of criminals to keep our young people safe.

For more tips on cyber safety, you can Google it online or you can even contact your local authorities who I'm sure will have additional information.

God bless! :)

i appreciate the advice .. i really prefer not to deal with people my age because they will bring me back to my sinful ways .. ive tried it didnt work out.. and as for your story of growing up fast had the same thing going on for me .. just cause im a christian and on here and 17 doesn't mean i haven't had experiences in my life that have made me regret some choices i made in my past but i cannot stay thinking in the past or else i never been cleansed in my head !


Hi Godsslife, I realise I'm not your favourite poster lol.

But can I make a few suggestions without you calling me a troll.
First I think you need to be honest and correct your date of birth to reflect
your true age. You do this by going through your profile settings.

First everyone thought you were 18, then in another thread you said you were 18 in
a couple of months, then I note on here you said you will be 18 in 4 or 5 months time.
Which incidentally means you are 17. I can't help wondering if you may even be
younger than this.

Regarding comments that people your own age bring back your sinful ways. Older
friends and/or men will not necessarily have your best interests in mind either.
I think a few people have mentioned this already and how predatory the Internet can be.

You said somewhere your parents are fabulous, maybe you can talk to them and
ask advice about relationships and conduct around male friends. Is there a church
pastor or youth leader you could speak to if not your parents.

It worries me that a person your age seems so fixated on Relationships and not
necessarily Christian ones at that.

Maybe I'm getting old and forget what it was like to be your age. But do you have
other things you can focus on your education for example, what you want to achieve
out of life etc.

Incidentally due to your comments many on here don't seem to think you are
genuine. But what bothers me the most is that you are genuine but are heading
for a whole lot of trouble. You need to think more about what you want out of
life. I don't just mean tomorrow or next week, next month, or when you are 18,
but I mean in a few years time, in 10 years time etc.

I would also urge you to spend some time getting to know God and discovering him,
get out a bible and start reading it.

God bless

Are these older guys seeking Christ? Are they going to honor abstinence? The reason I ask is because older guys are usually experienced in the sexual arena is they are not walking a godly life. Do you limit your interests to men who have exemplified a godly life only? Where do you meet these older guys?

No they just can't have a sexual relationship unless she turns 17
Are you claiming to be a christian? The reason I ask is because a person walking with Christ as their LORD would not think having sex out of marriage is ok. God calls it fornication and rebellion against him. It is a sin against your own self and a sin against the one whom one has sexual relations with. In fact, God has said if we look upon another with lust we have already committed sin!
Which btw, why would you think 17 is an age to have sex?

It's just a festival of brotherly love in there all the time...
Of course, by brotherly love, I mean the put-chewing-gum-in-your-little-sister's-hair type of love.
