    Modesty among clothing and other areas

    Hi Createdtoworship. Appreciate your comments although I disagree with them. Just curious if you have ever seen an angel and if so, what was the angel wearing? I recall from the Bible angels being dressed as warriors. If you are aware of any other form of dress described in scripture, please...

    Modesty among clothing and other areas

    Modest clothing in both Christian and secular circles has become a very complex subject as I see it. When we as Christians talk about modest clothing, what we are really talking about is a STRATEGY to eliminate or at least reduce lust and its ultimate results of fornication, adultery, etc...

    Modesty among clothing and other areas

    That's sad that your daughter felt it was weird seeing her dad's stomach. There is nothing obscene, gross, disgusting, shocking, immodest, etc. about someone's stomach. That she felt that way tells me she has been taught directly or indirectly that the human is body is shameful and disgusting...

    Democrats Changing Colorado

    You miss the point. There is no contradiction. The issues are totally different. In Presidential elections the Popular Vote law takes away representation of the people in the less populated States and gives it to the highly populated States. The US Constitution provided the Electoral College...

    Democrats Changing Colorado

    Anybody out there from Colorado? The Democrat majority in both houses of the legislature and the Democrat Governor in my State are pushing a left-wing agenda: A Red Flag law enabling a "guilty until proven innocent" gun grab. Transferring Colorado's electoral votes to the presidential...

    Are nudist church services morally acceptable?

    I've been visiting friends in Virginia this past week and just got out of a service at the nudist church that is the subject of this thread. There were 15 people present by my count. I did not see any overt indications of lust or sexual attraction. None of the male attenders had erections...

    Are nudist church services morally acceptable?

    I once thought nudity of any form was sinful, completely odious to God. Then I laid aside my preconceived ideas and studied the scriptures on the subject. I found that scripture addressed lust and sexual deviancy forbidding both. But in regards to simple non-sexual nudity, I found that it...

    Justifying Tithing without Abraham

    Great post for me because I can relate so well. I heard the tithe teaching out of Malachi 3 as a college student and "learned" about all of the blessings God would provide to those who tithed and the horrible consequences God would inflict on those who did not. A true "carrot and stick" form...

    Christian Nudists

    Ah. let me count the ways! First I think some of us are genetically wired to be nudists. OK, maybe it's not in our genes but we just prefer to be clothes-free when practical. There's something energizing and liberating about it. From a spiritual standpoint, praying and worshipping naked...

    Just my two cents... I used to think that nudity was utterly and completely sinful. I even felt guilty after my wife and I played "Adam and Eve" years ago when we were newlyweds. LOL! Almost 8 years ago I had a real change of heart and mind on the matter. To make a long story short, I...

    Christian Naturism - Skinny Dipping

    I'm glad you had the courage to post what you did. Have you ever visited the Men's Corner in CF? It's a place you can let your hair down and talk about stuff like this.

    Christian Naturism - Skinny Dipping

    Hi Grand. I just wanted to respond to a few of your comments since I can relate to so much of it. I hope it encourages you. When I was a young adult I had the same problem with sex and nudity. I connected nudity with sex. I was horrified that I would get an erection if I was ever nude in...

    OCD or Satan? Anyone?

    I remember struggling with the same things when I was a young adult. I was also a young Christian and wanted to follow God with my whole heart. I remember it felt like a living hell. I could never get any peace. I seldom felt like I was pleasing God. I was tormented by thoughts that I would...
