It's not for me, but it's not wrong at all. I'd never judge you for it just like I'd never judge folks who like to hang around at nude beaches. Go right ahead if that is what you like doing. :)

To me, this is exposure for sexual purposes, not being naked unto itself. There are people in this world who have no issues with family members seeing them naked without attaching anything sexual about it, and even though I am not that way, I take no umbrage with it because everyone has...

I have never understood that to be a divine judgement against nudity. Remember that they were naked before the Fall and unashamed about it. I think it was a divine reaction to the shame that they felt upon their realizing that they were without clothes.

I try to follow the Law, but I've never read the Law as requiring believers to examine every aspect of their lives with a fine-toothed comb over what is "pagan" or not. I see the bunnies and eggs as well as the wreaths and trees and lights at Christmas as simply extraneous. They're just not...

I've long agreed with you. Infant baptism is pointless.

What I'm getting weary of are all the PSAs pushing people to get vaccinated. No one with a functional brain is going to think "I'm going to run out and get vaccinated right now because the government told me to in a tv commercial." By now, people have either decided that they will or have gotten...

I am not a nudist myself. I don't make excuses to be without clothes. My own experience has been that I'd rather not have my family or others I am close to seeing me naked. If it's a context where nudity is appropriate like a locker room, I'd much rather be seen by strangers because there's a...

Hiya. everyone!

No party? Boo! *pouts*

Even if I am not on very long, I will try to remember to at least check in. :)

Alf?

Hello to a fellow Canadian! Welcome to the site!

A human's soul descends to She'ol and becomes unconscious until the end of days when everyone will rise up and be judged.

I see this argument all the time and absolutely hate it. It's also certainly possible that the woman may be your future wife or may never marry anyone at all.

In other words, I have a poor understanding of Scripture just because I have an interpretation that disagrees with yours. :rolleyes:

Also remember that this is just my take. If your conscience doesn't allow for it, then don't do it.

Everyone is going to interpret Scripture differently, but I find the idea of fornication=premarital sex as one that can be found in a modern dictionary, not one that has Biblical grounds. I personally would need something akin to "Thou shalt not have sex outside of wedlock" to buy in, and with...

You and I have a very different understanding of Scripture, and that is fair enough.

I'm sorry, but I don't interpret Deuteronomy 22:28-29 any other way.

No. If one does go so far as actually having sex, the couple must marry ASAP, and failure to do so at that point would be fornication.
