    what does the Bible say about Christians and nudism?

    It is my opinion that being naked isn't a sin, so long as it doesn't cause another to sin. But that was the situation here 1 Corinthians 8:9-13 Should we take it as far as the Muslims do and require full body coverings? probably not.

    Modern day churches= Heresy

    I do think churches lose many potential members who are looking for discipline, but see none in the churches around them. There is a false understanding that Christians can get away with doing whatever they want. Some churches allow their members to get away with all sorts of evil behavior...

    Community > Bible Reading?

    Being that he is a pastor I have less respect for error than I would for a layman. The early church had the letters from the apostles, the gospels, and the prophets. While they didn't have these all in one book, it is evident that the scriptures were available to the church. I'm also sure...

    Do you love Christ, as He loves you?

    Matthew 11:30 "For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Light compared to what? I'll tell you what, he is comparing this to the Law! There is no obligation for the Christian to follow the letter of the written law of Moses, but the spirit of the Law. The spirit of the law is Love for...

    what does the Bible say about Christians and nudism?

    Doesn't the very nature of things tell us it is shameful to go around naked? It is the same kind of reasoning Paul used for this unrelated topic. 1 Corinthians 11:13-15 We could go further, that this very shame is itself a testimony about Christ. We are naked before God unless Christ clothes...

    Pope Francis and Bart the Patriarch

    It didn't work out for Tony Palmer, whom was calling for all Christians to reunite with the Roman Catholic church. Because he claimed Martin Luther's protest to be over. He died.

    Please pray for my wife Linda

    I'll be praying. Has your wife been to the doctor recently and had a blood test? Does her pain get worse after eating certain kinds of food?

    Why is sacrificial love the greatest example of love?

    Sandy Hook - what really happened?

    I don't believe the news anyways, but there is also common since. If this were a hoax that would come out in court, as proof other than media reports will be required. So logically if it were a hoax no one would sue over these deaths to try and continue the lie and keep everyone in the dark.

    Sandy Hook - what really happened?

    There a lawsuit from the victim's families against Bushmaster that manufactures the AR-15. How far do you think that will go if it is a hoax?

    newbie

    Welcome Cristian, I'm glad you've decided to join us! I would caution you about forums in general, there are many views here that run contrary to biblical truth because of the diversity of our members. I would recommend a local church with a bible study for learning more about your faith...

    Is it wrong to want to die?

    A gratitude journal seems like an excellent idea Cristianprince67. A practice I've recently adopted is making sure to thank God every day for at least one thing before going to bed. We may disagree on the mechanics of how being thankful combats depression, but I believe it does.

    Love?

    Love shapes something into a better image. Often times there are obstructions that must be removed that stand in direct opposition to that image. Knowing what belongs and what should be removed requires judgement. Judgement we would not have without God's word or the Holy Spirit.

    Love?

    Love is actually very hard to define, so lets start from what we know about the loving acts. So I'm going to try to categorize motivations for them and hope in the end my assumption was correct. Love is patient - Patience allows time for coming into conformity with our expectations. Our...
