Christian Nudists

[Archivist]

Please don't tell me nudists are nude around their kids.

Why would they not be?

Why would they not be?

If you want to walk nude in your house, go right ahead, but if you do it in front of your family, kids, grandkids....well, I think it's wrong and kinda sick.

So God did a bad thing when He designed the human body?

 

[HermanNeutics13]

Nudity is not harmful to kids. If anything, it is beneficial as it gives them realistic understanding of the human body. SO many kids are natural nudists anyway so it's not like they would be offended.

 

[Sketcher]

I find it to be immodest.

Why did God make clothes for Adam and Eve?

Why did God make clothes for Adam and Eve?

Yes, ikf you believe the Garden of Eden account then God did make clothing for Adam and Eve. He made it to replace the inadequate clothing that they made from fig leaves. However there is nothing in Scripture indicating that He commanded them to wear the skins that He created or that He made the wearing of clothing a commandment for later generations.

Considering mankind wore clothes from that time on, and also considering the prevalence of rape and adultery in this world - it's not a big leap to suggest nudism isn't particularly advised.

First you are apparently asuming that there was a literal Garden of Eden. As I said before, I don't believe that.

Second, you said that "manking wore cloths from that time on." That isn't true. Clothing was not universally worn from that time on. In warmer climates people often did not wear clothing. In some places they still don't.

Third, regardinbg rape and adultry. I know of no evidence that nudity promotes either. There is a group of women in NYC who call themselves the Outdoor Co-ed Topless Pulp Fiction Appreciation Society. They go topless in public parks and read books. None has been a rape victim while doing this.

You are in the minority, my advice was for all.

Biblical evidence to support your claim please. I am interested in Christian nudity - as the title indicates.

This really doesn't need elaborating on.

I do believe in the Garden of Eden.

Are we soon going to say that Jesus was only a fictional character too?

You made a statement. I don't recall you offering any "advice."

Sure. Scripture tells us that Peter fished while naked. Further we know from other sources that fishermen regularly did so.

This really doesn't need elaborating on.

You made the claim--prove it.

Two very different things. A great many Christians do not believe in a literal Garden. BTW you are aware that Scripture contains two creation accounts and that they differ.

 

[seekingsolace]

Scriptural evidence, not hearsay please.

Prove that predators lurk in the world, really?

 

[Archivist]

Scriptural evidence, not hearsay please.

What hearsay? I clearly said "Scripture tells us that Peter fished whiole naked." It in John 21:7 (KJV):

"Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked) and did cast himself into the sea."

As I said, other evidence shows that it was common to fish while naked.

Prove that predators lurk in the world, really?

I didn't ask you to prove that predators lurk in the world. I asked you to prove your apparent claim that nudity leads to rape.

I don't think you need more proof. We all know most men are lead by visuals.

My understanding is that rape is relatively rare in societies where nudity is the norm.

I'm still waiting for the person wou made the claim to offer any proof.

Why did Noah curse his son?

Why did Noah curse his son?

That isn't clear. According to Wikipedia "The majority of commentators, both ancient and modern, have felt that Ham's seeing his father naked was not a sufficiently serious crime to explain the punishment that follows." Some say that it was really because Ham spread gossip about his father's drunkeness.

 

[HondaMan]

That isn't clear. According to Wikipedia

When people want to live in a certain lifestyle, they will twist the scripture all they want. In the case of Noah, it is clear...the son saw his father naked and told his brothers. When his brothers walked in, they turned their faces away not to see the nakedness of their father. How much more direct do you want the Bible to be? There are too many accounts where being nude is shame in the Bible.

I think the Bible is a more reliable source than Wiki
