Phoenyx View Profile History	How Young Is To Young?!?! Posted : 30 Jun, 2009 04:19 PM I can understand your concern. Personally, the only reason I have the limit on age as far as going up goes, is because my father would feel uncomfortable about it and I don't want him upset by too much age difference. Thirteen is far enough I suppose to stay within my generation. As far as youth goes, regardless of the law of the land, the Bible says that you are not an adult until you are twenty. The laws of the land may change to allow ten-year olds and I ask anyone, are you going to chase these children and conform to man's law or the Bible's? Post Reply

Is there not a moral/ethitical appropriate age that a person should stand on... so their not crossing the child/adult lines... no matter how old we get? I dont think that its been about moral/ethitical behavior with anything in this world but, yes there is a line for the ones that know whats right and the others that dont...or dont care whats right. It is just up to a good friend or parent to notice what is going on to do what is best for the person of younger age involved.You cant make everyones choices but, yu can help them out of making mistakes if you see them. tknchances Post Reply

View Profile History	How Young Is To Young?!?! Posted : 30 Jun, 2009 06:24 PM Hi Cattleman... :waving: Thank you for sharing... :glow: Now I'm going to respond whith what I think pertaining to what you've shared... :glow: There are a lot of things in life that we have to be "of age" to partake in... in order to be" legal" pertaining to our "worlds ways"... but just coming to the age of being "legal" by the "laws of our land" doesn't excuse us (Christians)... to cross moral and ethitcal lines that God has instilled in us to "NOT" cross... just because were of "legal age"... :angel: I do like your reference to Sarah though... because she's such a perfect example of someone standing on their own ground to do it their way... just because their within their "rights" to do so... based upon "the laws of the land"... and their "own freedom of will" to do so... even if it means going against what God has already instilled in them that He would have of them... I'm sure you know exactly what I'm refering to... but just in case you don't... I'm talking about how God had said he'd bless them with a child (even though she was 90... and Abraham was 100)... What did she choose to do with that though... (?)... did she do it God's way... (?)... Noppers... she took it all into her own hands... and she did it the way she felt it should be done... and she was certainly within her "rights"... and it was absolutly ok to do so by the "laws of the land"... and it was 100% all "legal"... and sure enough... she sent Hagar to her husbands tent to lay with him... and he also... choose to do it "Sarah's way"... and what a mess that made of things huh... (?) Which Sarah's freedom of will is a great sounding board for us to learn from... that our own freedom of will can be very messy if we don't have it in alignment with God's will... no matter what our flesh feels... or what the world says... or even if it's "legal"... God's will is always the right way to go. The fact still remains that it was found note worthy to point out that Sarah was 10 years younger than her husband in our Bible. :angel: Which... this "personally" speaks loudly to "my" heart... because this just so happens to be the age difference... where "my" heart screams out... that it's appropriate... vs what's not appropriate... (pertaining to age differences in joining in marriage with the opposite sex). This of course doesn't mean that what "I personally" believe God's laying on my heart... is going to come into alignment with what "you personally" believe God's laying on your heart in this matter... because you obviously think that it's ok to join with the opposite sex... at any age... as long as their of "legal age"... no matter what the age difference... God Bless Post Reply

Posted : 30 Jun, 2009 06:51 PM dear smiles, your words here because you obviously think that it's ok to join with the opposite sex... at any age... as long as their of "legal age"... no matter what the age difference... mine here, yep i do believe that.. i am also reminded of boaz and ruth.. you can see in these verses that ruth was a young woman and that boaz was seemingly alot older feller. ruth 2:5-6 5 Then Boaz said to his servant who was in charge of the reapers, "Whose young woman is this?" 6 So the servant who was in charge of the reapers answered and said, "It is the young Moabite woman who came back with Naomi from the country of Moab. ruth 3:9-10 9 And he said, "Who are you?" So she answered, "I am Ruth, your maidservant. Take your maidservant under your wing, for you are a close relative." 10 Then he said, "Blessed are you of the Lord, my daughter! For you have shown more kindness at the end than at the beginning, in that you did not go after young men, whether poor or rich. folks i dont believe the bible condemns age differences.. i also prefer a slightly older woman myself.. but i wont limit GOD in who HE wants me to be with by ages.. long as theyre legal.. and i knew they was sent by HIM for me then so be it. ole cattle Post Reply

Posted : 1 Jul, 2009 01:46 AM Hey there, I know I'm not a guy responding here like it says they are to... but I can let you know offhand that age isn't an issue if the two people at hand are able to live with the consequences. I had a relationship started from a Christian dating site with an older man going and he is 43. I am 21. My parents flipped out. I really put them through a lot of grief, and if I had the opportunity to do it again, I wouldn't. Any 40-some man in here reading this... if you want to date younger women- realize you'll be widowing them, having your children with her grow up fatherless in their adulthood, depriving your grandkids of a grandfather, and perhaps ruining this young woman's relationship with her parents. No man with respect toward a woman would do that to her...no matter how much he says he cares... if the situation is not idea, it isn't idea. Get over it and move on. Post Reply

I'll leave that open for anyone who wants to search the scripture for it. I do not find it a coincidence that our nation and many other began with such a number in order to vote or own land.

View Profile History	How Young Is To Young?!?! Posted : 1 Jul, 2009 02:00 PM As Christians we have a responsibility to love God and our neighbor. As we do, we pray and evangelize with our words, messageboard postings and actions. We keep the Lord in mind with all our thoughts. We share the good news. We avoid sin. We act with love and charity. We also avoid scandal. We can pray and evangelize all we want, we can be the biblical scholars and talented apologetic, but they know us by our labors. They see our joy in living with Christ, and they want that happiness. They see our good works, and they want that strength. They see us grounded in this chaotic life, and they want that peace. By living lives that are considered scandalous or inappropriate, we hurt our cause in evangelization. We don't live our lives for ourselves, we live them for Him. We should always act with love for Him and our neighbor. And, yes, that may mean marrying a person outside of your age range, but know that nothing is without its own set of consequences. We need to make sure our intentions are pure and for the One. Post Reply
