Svt4Him said:Someone has called someone elses body unclean?
Irrelevant Conclusion. Someone may or may not be comfortable with public nudity and have nothing wrong with their perception of their body image.
Agreed. But my issue is with the amount of men who have problems with nudity, and the effect is has on them. If you don't see that, a quick glance into the inappropriate content industy will cure it. Do you know there are about 25 million hits to inappropriate content sites each week in America?
My allusion was to the story in Acts of Peter's vision.
I agree with your second statement. But that was not my point. The Christian position is that each person is made in the image of God and is totally acceptable to Him. This view is in total contrast to the societal position where body image so often becomes the basis of a person's self worth. My value derives from the value God places on me, not what I look like.
Re youe last point. The world is full of hedonists - should we forego all pleasures because of them? Or eschew all the trappings of modern life because so many are materialists?
In the midst of a fallen society Christians should exhibit another set of values. I know of people who are nudists and Christians. Can it really be true that they can see naked bodies without sexual arousal? if their claims are true they just might be a lot better off than the huge numbers who struggle just at the sight of a pretty but fully clothed young lady.
