And yet, even divided, we shall eventually reach the same place.
What exactly does your Bible say? "Dress modestly."
Does the Bible explicitly tell you how much is modest and how much is not? No. Where then shall you pick up that piece of wisdom?
More importantly, where shall the rest of us pick it up?
From you?... no thanks.
so as we see here, the people promoting open nudity are people who REJECT the BIBLE predominantly.
fancy that. Well that right there clears up alot for me and makes all the difference.
And yet, even divided, we shall eventually reach the same place.
WRONG. All paths do not lead in the same direction.
There is the narrow road that leads to life, which few
find and a broad road that leads to destruction which many go in
thereat.
Matthew 7:13-14
Enter in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to
destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate,
and narrow is the way, which leads unto life, and few there be that find it.
Jesus

The Holy Spirit is available to those purchased by the blood of the Lamb,
to lead their conscience into the knowledge of what is modest, according to
God's standards, if one would ask, in the event that common sense should otherwise fail.
How so when Jesus said that the only way to the Father was by Him? Does that contradict any other way?
Its been given in this thread many times and in many places from the word of God.

You've completely misinterpreted me... as usual. Fancy that.
Shall I use the Bible the same way you do? Is your way of using the Bible the only way it is to be used?
I see no greater idolatry than to let someone (or something) else do my thinking for me. And yet, you would have me do just that... allegedly using "The Bible" (When in fact, you mean, "The Bible as you read it," meaning yourself) to bring me around to your way of thinking, or else I am REJECTING the BIBLE, is that it?
(using all caps to make your small ideas sound big... Fancy that.)

You said there was more than one "way" that condradicts Him who is the only way - you said your knowledge of Him was from "guides" and not from Him or His word. Thats another way.Does my way contradict His? I think not.
Actually, allowing God's thoughts, which are higher than ours to have rule and reign
in our lives, is called Worship and giving Him the seat on the throne of our lives,
which is Lordship. The Lord God is entitled to both which is summed up in the first
and most important commandment, to "Love the Lord your God will all of your
heart, mind, soul and strength."

Few will enter that gate because few will choose it... even without the convoluted and contrived roadblocks other believers put in their way.
My way does not contradict Christ... whether you believe it or not.
My conscience is clear.... thank you for your concern.
God... worship. The Bible (or any mere mortal's interpretation, including yourself)... Idolatry. See the difference?
I tend to view God and the Bible as two different things... perhaps that's where the confusion sets in?
Oh sure, we'll ALL end up with God at the end... the issue becomes where we go AFTER JUDGMENT.
You have no clue what He's judging on if you don't accept the Bible.
And this thread is heading for Mod cleanup if we all aren't careful. We've already stated the spiritual divide and why it exists, saying much more will get some violations going for reports later.
Jesus says it best:
Mat. 7:
21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven,
but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name,
cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’
23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.
14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
With that, I'll end my participation on why we're not in any spiritual agreement.
God inspired writers - writing as led by the Lord - otherwise, they sure do have future events 100% accurate... that would be a huge coinkeydink.God... worship. The Bible (or any mere mortal's interpretation, including yourself)... Idolatry. See the difference?

Not seeing the connection here, but yes, I do believe in sin... any deliberate act which serves to separate us from God is sinful.Jesus said if you do not believe moses and the prophets (whom He chose to pen His words) then neither would one believe thou He rise from the dead. (victory over sin).
Do you believe there is a such thing as sin?
