Skinni:

Trust me I do always hangout with my friends.

Hmnnn! Brother.

You're like a fingerling (young fish) trying to swim on land with creatures having legs and with a dream of becoming a shark.

And like an hatchlet (newborn eagle) flocking amongst chickens as friends hoping that you will be taught how to fly.

Like a cub (baby lion) learning how to become the king of the jungle from rodents.

You seek a healthy courtship, and I can imagine you have a "Christian Religious" background and hence a Christian.

As a divine principle, such desire should only be nursed by men who have discovered their divine purpose for existence, else even if the person is 50yrs old, if He gets involved in any intimate relationship with the opposite sex or marriage without clear identification of purpose, such relationships will only become minefields.

Simply put, the desire you have if you are qualified at all to desire it at this stage of your irrespective of your age can only be fulfilled in the body of Christ (not church services) and not on nairaland. And it is only possible if you have become a Son of God (not Christian) else you will only attract Christians like yourself and not "Sons/Daughters of God".

I strongly believe that you need a change of focus and interests at this point.

It is well with you, may be the eye of your understanding be opened.

DeSepiero:
I'm wondering, 'is there any verse of the new testament which quotes Jesus directly referring to himself as God?'

Bro, there is no scripture as such as that, and the reason is because Jesus is the son of God and not God. He (Jesus) is the Son whom the Father have vested all the power in heaven and on earth. John 17:2

Here in the scripture below, the voice of the father spoke in affirmation of the Father/Son relationship to the public confirming his right and authority. Matthew 3:17.

God bless your understanding sir.
