No its not OK, but the pretenders to the inheritance would agree with you. As would the reprobate pretenders to the truth and the trust. Hypocrites would flock to the evil behaviour.

 

[BoyStan]

If naturism is evil behaviour? What about all the nudity in art and sculture,like the statue of David? Nudity that is not pornographic, erotic and sexual is not evil. God did not create any evil,especially mankind. To say naturism is always and only evil says more about the mind of the critic than about naturism.

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;

What translation or para phrase are you quoting? Naturism does not exclude women wearing modest apparel when necessary. Our fashions do not promote modest apparel, but the beauty of the human body! Praise God.

When Adam and Eve's eyes were opened they saw they were naked and they were ashamed. To deny the shame of nudity is to deny the need for a covering.

You are naked in sin, you pervert the truth and you are a pervert.

1 Timothy 2:9

The same slander can be thrown at anyone, even you, whenever you look at art with naked people in the work.

Art is the ultimate perpetration of fraud.

Art is the creative expression of God's talents to humanity.
You seem to emphasise the term 'Messiah'. The Christian confesses from the heart :
Jesus is the Messiah the Son of the living God. And Jesus is Lord.
This is religious dogma that denotes a true Christian.
Do you make these Christian confessions about Jesus?

 

[The Barbarian]

If nudity isn't an occasion to sin, then it's not a problem. For almost all of us, it is an occasion to sin.

So, generally, not a good idea.

This nakedness cannot be nudity or being unclothed or GOD created them in a state of sin. It surely must be related to the naked as a metaphor for sinfulness especially since the same word, arm, is used to describe the evil subtlety of the serpent. The metaphor is for their self chosen sin by their free will; being as they had no control over how their body was created, their body must refer to their created state, not a chosen state.

No crowd of sinners going naked together can be considered not lascivious...imCo The bodies may not be sinful but the flesh sure is!

 

[Saxon Hammer]

God's creation is utterly magnificent, and man and woman are the crown of His creation.
Naturism that is not pornographic, erotic or sexual is okay for Christians. http://www.theologyonline.com/forum...ologyonline.com/forums/images/icons/icon4.png

If naturists became christian would it cause them to wear clothes?
Can Christians take of their clothes without shame?

I did not think I would find 'Christian Naturism' being discussed, as anything other than, another way of living as a christian.

I agree that there are strong taboos however these do not ALL appear to be natural. If we are taught to wear clothes as children then we will naturally find it difficult to remove them Christian or not. If we do not see naked bodies all the time then an unclothed person will attract attention. The needs of the animal are focused under such attention in a clothed society.
