The Bible teaches us to be considerate of others, especially those weak in the faith. If eating meat or going naked offends others then don't do it in front of them. We don't want to cause disharmony in the spirit. Be all things to all people in order that some of them may be saved. If wearing clothes keeps us in harmony then why argue it?
Some people want to cause disharmony because you might wear different clothes than they do. You can't please everyone. But the Bible teaches us that sexual immorality is a sin. It also teaches us that the desires of the body conflict with the spirit. I don't see how going naked will help us spiritually. But being considerate of others and not offending them will help us spiritually.


Well said.

you being naked may not be a sin, but looking upon someones nakedness (that your not married to) is a sin.

Genesis 9:20-25 Canaan was cursed because Ham seeing Noah's nakedness. also his other son's covered Noah walking backwards so not to look at his nakedness.

JN, that verse is not talking about seeing your old man nude; it was a Hebrew expression that meant having intercourse with your fathers wife.

i know this. nakedness is in the topic not nudity, although it is what everyone is talking about


Gen 9:22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.

Lev 20:11 And the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
