To Cheri: I've only been a member of your group for about an hour, and I already love you. The response you posted to 'nudistsarewrong' was outstanding, and completely Biblical, (plus you are beautiful, and nudist too!)
To nudistsarewrong: There is NO shame and NO sin in God's perfect creation, there is only shame and sin in the way mankind has ruined the perfection He created. One of the ways man has perverted it is to use the Bible as a salad bar the way you have, to pick and choose what YOU do and don't like to make your point. Jesus wore a robe because it was hot and dry, and because it was the custom of the time and place. Had he been born in the jungles of South America, He'd have been nude too.

Children,especially toddlers,love to be clothes free.Even we adults find "cute" to see them in the buff.Children are so innocent.I seem to recall learning in Catholic school,that you must you must be like a child to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.As you might surmise,I'm not a theologian,but based on my religious perspective,nudity in itself is not wrong in the eyes of God.Chic

Forcing people to do uncomfortable or inconvenient things every day eventually makes them believe that what they are doing must be "right" or even necissary. Its related to Stockholm Syndrome. Organized religion uses things like clothing and daily prayer, etc., to own and control the people. People soon come to believe that our bodies are "shameful" and clothing must be necissary, otherwise we would all be slaves doing their bidding for stupid reasons. That last is the truth, but most people deny it.

Religion, like anything else can be abused. The fallacy is then that the theology is blamed, rather than the abuser. It's like blaming parenthood for child abuse. Put the blame on the abuser.
I find Christianity and nudism, in theology, to be wonderfully suited (lousy pun!) for each other. Man is not perfect, but with the love that Jesus gave us, we can be re-acquainted with our nude selves, as well as reconciled with God.
People will abuse the dickens out of Christianity, and make Christianity look bad. Again, blame the abuser! Theology does not equal people. We need to learn that. Just like math does not equal people, or government does not equal people.
Darkness, and obsession with guilt is not Christian. It's an invention of man who never understood Christianity. There are those who think going to a church is a mere duty, like taking out the trash, and these people do not exhibit the essence of Christ.
I'm a true Christian, and thankful to be so, and I find nudity to be a great way to live. Eventually, it's what's in my heart, mind, and spirit that will brand me as something or other. It's not my clothing, or lack thereof.
So, when someone condemns Christianity, just understand that they are blaming people who fail to understand Jesus' teachings, and not the teachings themselves. The problem for those who condemn is that they are unwilling to make that distinction, or have yet to do so, once corrected.

I don't ever remember reading anywhere in the bible that nudity is wrong. people will always have various opinions on nudity. As they do on everything. from drinking and same sex marriage to recent debate on legalizing pot. I choose to like the freedom that nudity offers.

Christians have been "putting clothes on the natives" since Charlemagne invaded Europe. Despite a minority of Christians who can't find biblical references, clothing has been the practice and demand of just about ever Christian denomination. "Sins of the flesh" is dogma. I don't agree with it, but history and current practice are rife with it.

Again, don't blame the organic teachings of Jesus for what darkness is and has been practiced by people who don't understand the gentle nature of his teachings.
There have been some fairly malevolent times in history where people who called themselves Christians, were in complete violation of the basic teachings of Christ. The Dark Ages are one example. Jesus brought light to the world, not darkness.
So much of the clothing compulsion comes from an past era that is about social convention and not organic theological teachings.
Jesus was baptized in the nude. If "Christians" say that nudity is bad, how do they explain that baptism?
Blame people and the flawed followers of Christianity, but don't blame the teachings that came from the lips of Jesus. They are two very different things.

Hebrews 4:13-16 New King James Version (NKJV)
13) And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account. 14) Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15) For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16) Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Thought I would share my favorite verses, hope it speaks to others as it does to me.

What God thinks of nudism
