Age, Maturity, Wisdom.

I put no stalk in age; None at all. My definition of maturity is "Knowing when to be immature" and i've definitely known some very wise 12 year olds. So i hate it when people look at someone and say/think "oh, they're only 16,18,20(whatever age they are) to young to do this or that, or know this, or want that" ... GAHH  really?... have you read about Timothy? He was like 16 or 17, and he was the pastor of a church... the head pastor. so no, i don't care how old people are, i have friends ranging from the ages of 2-93 (legit ones) and i sincerely love talking to all of them... my favorite people are those who haven't lost there ability to act like a child, obviously my child friends haven't... and some of my super old friends haven't either... but as you grow older you usually have to take on more responsibility, no biggie, you don't have to loose your childhood just because you have a job or a family. you need to gain wisdom too, but like i said... you don't have to be old, or even older to be wise. and as far as the question of marriage, one of the awesomest couples i know, the husband is 20 years older than his wife. My mother is 5 years older than my dad... so i don't care about age differences at all there either. now yes, you do find nasty old men out to find some young fresh girl... yuck, but are you seriously telling me you've never seen creeps out to find girls there own age for the same nasty reasons?... i say as long as you pick youre spouse with wisdom (hey there's that word again), and set standards (such as marrying a christian) marry whoever you want. now i'm not saying to go against any laws, or any biblical standards. but other than that, ya. 1 Timothy 4:12 "Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity."... so do i care about how old you are?... nah. Do i care if you have wisdom?... yep (obviously i don't expect my 4 year old friends to have a lot. but never underestimate) Is maturity a real thing?... yes and no. knowing when to be immature, and being wise are a great combo... but this has nothing to do with legitimate age or physical maturity. well, thats all i have to say 'bout that.
