Electric Sceptic said:You might call it protective; no doubt she (and others, including me) would have other words to describe it.
There might be only one thing you could ever want from a much younger girl; to imagine that that is true of all guys is simply arrogant.
And yet Christians have much the same problems as non-Christians when it comes to relationships. Amazing, huh?xtxArchxAngelxtx said:Every issue that has been addressed in this thread can either be avoided or delt with in a way that is pleasing to God if both members of the relationship are infact of adequate SPIRITUAL maturity... At least when it comes to christians.
Should I even bother??? **thinks** Yeah, definetly not worth it... I wish all persons were as wise and discerning as you, Electric. You're right and always were, forgive me questioning your vast knowledge of.. umm... everything.Electric Sceptic said:Then I have to wonder why you are bothering posting to this forum at all.
As for "I have not complained about anything except for being misunderstood," again, let's see...
You said:
"No one hear is taking anything I am saying with consideration nor an open mind and are reviling me."
Here you have complated that (a) nobody else on this forum is acting with consideration, (b) nobody else on this forum has an open mind, and (c) everyone else on this forum is 'reviling' you.
Looks like your claim that you "have not complained about anything except for being misunderstood" was false, too.
It appears so. I think that peace (as far as discussion goes) is various people putting forward their opinions and discussing each others'; you think it is nobody disagreeing with you. In that case, I'd warn you that you'll never find your version of 'peace' on these forums...or, indeed, anywhere outside your own bedroom.
The human and worldly perspective is the only one we - any of us - has or can have. We are all human, and cannot be anything else; we all live in the world, and cannot live anywhere else.
Oops! Another mistake. Even Jesus said it can be broken, as a result of adultery.
No offence, but I do not believe you.
And I think telling a woman to stay with a husband who abuses her under any circumstances is bad advice. And you know what? So do the people who have made helping women in this situation their lives.
Then I fervently hope you never encounter any woman who is abused by her husband, and if you do, I fervently hope she takes absolutely no notice of your advice.
And, again, rather than respond to what I posted and actually discuss the issue, you'd rather throw a few insults and avoid the subject entirely.xtxArchxAngelxtx said:Should I even bother??? **thinks** Yeah, definetly not worth it...

Peace.
Insults? I was just simply being peaceful to your demeiner that you put on this thread.Electric Sceptic said:And, again, rather than respond to what I posted and actually discuss the issue, you'd rather throw a few insults and avoid the subject entirely.

"Demeanor." Apart from that, I've no idea what this sentence is supposed to mean.xtxArchxAngelxtx said:Insults? I was just simply being peaceful to your demeiner that you put on this thread.
The "silly argumentive [sic] game" is called discussion. Yet again, if you don't like it, I don't know why you post on this forum.xtxArchxAngelxtx said:Heh, in reallity, I have no reason to defend myself. Not only is what you seek already in this thread but even if I did try responding to you in any way, it would all just get thrown back at me with the same regard as yor previous posts. In other words, it is pointless. Besides, you don't believe me anywayssorry, like morningstar, I will not play your silly argumentive game.
xtxArchxAngelxtx said:I post cause people ask questions and I answer. Some like what I say, some don't. either way, want them to know why I believe what I believe.
Good observation.Chrono Traveler said:This is a discussion forum, the point is to read and write and form new ideas.
Odd...you dodged all of my questions.xtxArchxAngelxtx said:I post cause people ask questions and I answer.
I have read other posts that share the sentiments stated here, but some obvious things seem to be missed. I don't think you (or anyone else) would like it if another controlled your life to the point of stating whom you may or may not date.ajm122188 said:If I had a 15-year-old sister, and she was dating a 19-year-old, being protective I would make her stop dating him. There's only one thing a guy wants from a much younger girl..
This seems to be saying two people cannot love and date each other without some sort of sexual involvement. Not only is it possible, but many people do it everyday. Besides, nothing spectacular happens when someone turns 18. I have never heard of a Maturity Fairy sprinkling wisdom dust on people.SallyNow said:Yes...it is not sexual. But that can happen.
However...even it is not about sex, there is still wisdom in waiting until both parties have at least finished, or are about to finish, high school. I'm not saying they can't see each other, I'm not saying it is horrible. I am saying it is a good idea to stay friends until both parties are at least around 18. This shows maturity on both sides, and allows for some important maturity to take place.

The two people of the OP actually seem pretty mature for their age.

More importantly, that whole "There's only one thing a guy wants..." position does not apply to all guys. Rather, it seems to be more of a projection of one's own desires. There is absolutely no way we can unequivocally know the motivations of either parties involved. Women like sex just as much as men.

SallyNow said:It's not about sex. Something does happen during grade 12, and after gradution: maturity. It's not a magical "you turn 18 and the Maturity Fairy comes". In fact, that's a pretty immature view of it all. Instead, it is a process that starts around grade 12 and continues for the first few years of being in adult world-sometimes it take up to a decade.
Again, a 15 year old and a 19 year old can be good friends. But in today's society, a 19 year old is just begining on the path to adulthood, and a 15 year old is still in the throws of adolecents.
