Hi, I have a weird question to ask and I would like some peer opinions from fellow believers in Christ to be safe but, is private nudity a sin? What I mean is if all doors and windows are locked and covered, I'm by myself and nothing inappropriate is occurring. I just find it comfortable and freeing but I don't want to be doing it if it displeases the Lord.

And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. 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. - John 21:6-7

Peter naked was not a sin, but something that made him ashamed.

I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; - 1 Timothy 2:8-9

So I believe there are two classifications here...

1. Sin
2. Dishonor

I believe that we all have times when we appear in the house not fit to be seen of others. And that such appearance could be considered dishonorable. I think dishonor can lead to sin if it is stretched too far.

Covering the body did not become an issue until the first sin, so it would seem that God has no problem with the body being exposed.

If private nudity were wrong you wouldn't be able to take a bath and a shower and soon your body odor would make it very unpleasant to be around you.

is private nudity a sin?
On a very hot day when I am by myself in my apartment . . . :) lolololololololol

But I need to be careful not to feel like I could show myself off, or feel guilty and ashamed. Be humble about what I do :)
