Christian Nudists

[HermanNeutics13]

I suppose then that you approve of strip clubs and pornography. Once I had to see a person in perverts prison. The evil was nearly tangible, it smelled like a snake pit and felt like evil spirits were rubbing and squirming around. It feel ever so filthy. That is what I hear from you. Filth. Still looking for loop holes.

No, there is a difference between sexually explicit nudity as in the examples you give and non-sexual nudity. It is a shame that our culture can't tell the difference.

Here is a question to those who would oppose nudity outside the privacy of your bathroom or sex with a spouse. Have you ever been examined by a doctor particularly one of the opposite sex? Is it wrong for a doctor of the opposite sex to see you naked? DO you fear they will be aroused? If the answer is no it is not wrong then what is it about having a degree in medicine that changes things? If you think it is wrong still (as I have seen argued online) then I applaud you Consistency but think you are being overly legalistic.

It seems that we have come to what is good nudity and what is bad nudity.When GOD created us we are good nudity.So a visit to a dermatologist for a annual full skin exam it is good nudity.A complete physical from your doctor with nudity is good nudity.So then when we are working in the fields and sweating a lot we take layers of clothes off to stay cooler this is still good nudity.In my observations bad nudity is strip clubs and pornography.Bottom line is why are you naked? To stay cool to let your skin breathe.

Many people believe that the "extensive education" of medical personnel makes them immune to the effects of nudity.

This is nonsense. The hospital orderlies are usually unskilled and have no "extensive education". They might have been collecting soda bottles along the highway a month before their orderly job. Yet they see nude people all the time. It's the legal penalties for misbehavior that keeps both orderlies and doctors from inappropriate behavior with nude patients. They just learn to deal with nudity.

Nudity is acceptable only between a husband and wife.

I really want to see more dissenters bring up verses. Adam and Eve has been brought up many times but I think that has been thoroughly addressed.

Whats your view on this?

Why God meant for people to be clothed

Let me give an example to illustrate from a parents point of view. Imagine you have a 6 or 7 year old child, and they find out at school from some kid in their class about sex. Any parent would reasonably ask “Who told you about that? It’s not that the knowledge of sex is bad thing, it is simply that it was not yet time for the child to have this knowledge. This is exactly what happened in Eden.

Make no mistake, God was angry at the way Adam and Eve gained the knowledge of their nakedness through sin, and not in the way he intended for them to find out, from him and in his perfect time.

God did not clothe Adam and Eve because of the presence of sin. He did not cloth them because of some new knowledge about sex or sexual lust.

He clothed them, because they were always meant to be clothed.

Comic Sarah Silverman once quipped in a stand-up routine that women should NEVER marry a Gynecologist: "You are at home waiting for him, IN NEED, and he walks in muttering to himself 'If I have to look at one more ... ' "

Why God meant for people to be clothed

This article is an example of taking what the Bible says and taking it to a level that the Bible doesn't say. Its clear that most of the time we wear clothes to protect us from the elements. Agree. But that doesn't then say we have to wear clothes all the time. The verses about shame in the Bible are about enemies coming to conquer, stripping and taking them as slaves. The men weren't strong to protect their family. Its not because they were naked and ashamed for no reason. So to me that takes verses of the Bible out of context.
It was just 100yrs ago, before modern bathroom, that every member of the family took a bath in a tub in the middle of the kitchen. In the NT there were public baths where ever one went to is the bathroom and shower each day. There was no separate stalls. Christians aren't told to stay way or that its a shame to bath in the NT.

That was Roman and Greek culture - NOT Jewish culture. Jews were much more discrete.

Not with your doctor?

That is an exception.

Did you agree with the quote I posted?

Did you agree with the quote I posted?

You mean the article? No.

It reminded me of this verse:

Matthew 15:9 But in vain do they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.

Why do you disagree?

He was putting his own (or what he had been taught) spin on verses to support his claim which has no real biblical support.

How did it have no bibical support?

I cannot hand hold you when you read it. Look up his verses. Read the context of the rest of the chapter and the rest of the book. Find out what the words mean in the original languages. Above all - pray for Holy Spirit guidance in your reading comprehension. You will start to see where things are getting twisted and taken way out of context.

Do you now what article I am referring to?

 

[dayhiker]

There is not verse in the Bible says, You shall ware clothes.", or a verse that says don't let anyone see you naked. So people take other verse and that are talking about other topics and y to make them say what they don't say. Its like people think that such and such should be sinful, say gambling. So they read the Bible to find where it says gambling is a sin. OPS its not a sin according Bible. But its got to be a sin, God must have forgot to including the Bible so I'll find a way to add it to the Bible. yes, gambling is foolish and apt to get one into the poor house, so a person will reap what they sow, but its not a sin. People do the same thing with nudity.
