As we are born  naked, is it sinful to be naked in front of strangers and if so, why?

Lets start with Adam and Eve.\n\nEarlier, they were naked and it was NOT sinful.\n\nLater, after eating the fruit of good and evil, It became sinful. \n\nDid it? Why?\n\nBecause, earlier they didnt have the concept of sin.\nSo they couldnt sin.\nLater, it did, because now they know how to sin.\n\nAnother way...\nIts sinful because a lot of lust and unwanted thoughts as well as adultery ( in the mind and physically ) can be or easily "promoted". \n\nWell, the adulterers, and rapists often blame the women they have illicit sex or rape to be too "sexy". I mean its not uncommon to hear them say, its that womans fault that she wore like that and I couldnt help it etc...\n\nOf course this does not justify what the rapists and adulterers had done. But do you want to be raped and adulterated to for just wanting to show "its nothing wrong to walk naked in front of other people?"\n\nWell, its not about being abstractly correct wether it is wrong or not but rather, the possible consequences ( which are all negative ) speaks for itself.\n\nRegards

Well I do think its not ordinary. woman should not be naked around other men besides their husbands. And the men were embarrassed because the woman were naked. The only thing on mens mind half the time is sex.That is in their nature. why would you shower with a bunch of other men anyway? Do you wanna get raped? I dont mean to sound rude or anything, im just wondering.

Don't ask weird questions first of all, why would you ask to see a woman naked for example?

It is a possibility that Adam and Eve were actually clothed with light. When sin entered, the light was gone and they knew that they were naked. Until God gives us our new bodies, our current one is incomplete and exposed.\n\nI have no negative connotations to the naked form. Your avitar is a beautiful rendition. However, it needs to be framed in such a way to reveal the beauty of form and not corrupt it by provoking our base nature. That is where the negativity comes in to play. It's not the subject, it is the audience that God is concerned with. God looks on the heart, and what is going on in that heart when it views the form? Is the audience thinking of the mastery of God's creation, or "What's her phone number?"?\n___________________\n"Doesn't the "sin" then belong to the person who cannot control and rise above the baser instincts ? The "sin", is not to be pinned to the nude female form, which is entirely natural, but to the brain of the male twisting something basic, into something sexual. Is it not ?"\n\nWow, made me think. It really comes down to motive. What is the motivation for the nudity, as well as the motivation of the observer. God could care less about the flesh, He knows it is just a tent. God looks at the heart. If the nude is posing for an art class, I see no problem at all--and all the students are there to learn how to properly represent the human form. There are way too many girls who are willing to go nude and pose in very unartistic poses in order to appeal to the base nature. Why? Because there is money to be made. There, the poser and the nude have to numb their conscience, which in the long term, will be destructive to their eternal soul.\nNow, if the nude posing for the art class is being watched through the window by someone who wants to appeal to the base nature, there we see the motivation of the heart, as well as where the sin truly lies.

It depends this is a tricky one and something I was actually discussing the other day. I dont think that it is appropriate for kids to be wearing thongs, or bikkinis, or ten year olds running around naked in public.\n\nHowever, what if this child was brought up with parents who believe in nudism, whos parents attend specific places which are closed to outsiders like beaches, they are used to it they have been brought up with it and there is nothing leud at all going on its just going on with out clothes, then perhaps not.\n\nHowever since this is not usually the situation in general i would say no, its not.

Nudity has nothing to do with it. The original sin is the disobedience to God.

Nobody is born sinful.  How in the world is a tiny little newborn a sinner?  They have committed no crime and do not have any sense of the word at all.  All a newborn knows is that it needs food a lot, it needs diapers, and it needs its parents to love it.  It needs to see its mother's face and feel comfort at her breast.  Nothing sinful about that.  The bible was messed up by the Romans and changed.  The original bible has nothing of the sort in it, and eve is not the cause of all pain either.  A person is not guilty of another person's crime, and that includes eve.  In Islam, BOTH adam and eve were at fault.  Blame is not placed specifically.  And you are told that your own actions determine whether or not you go to heaven or hell.

No- I've admittedly got some self esteem issues that preclude me from being comfortable being naked in front of anyone, including myself, with the exception of my boyfriend of 3 years. THAT being said, I have toyed with the idea of browsing web sites of that nature- for, um. creative purposes later on- in private.

I'm all for it.  In fact, for the past four years I've only gone to nude beaches here on Long Island, and being naked is so much better than simply going topless.\n\nIt's not an exhibitionism thing, at least not for most of us.  It's simply more enjoyable and appropriate to enjoy the beach naked, as long as it's a legal nude beach where nobody's going to be uptight and offended by the sight of simple bare skin.\n\nAll over tans look great also, and it's a lot more fun to swim, sunbathe, jog or just walk along the beach naked than being bundled up in some wet pieces of cloth.\n\nIt's time we lightened up about simple nudity...it never hurt anyone!

We were clothes for the same reason Adam and Eve did. Gen 3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.\n 8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. This is what religion does for people today\n Now it may be OK in presence of a husband and wife but the Holy Spirit actually covered their nakedness before their minds were opened to Evil.  Genesis 2:25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.\n \n Fig leaves are like cotton and other plant life, but they were embarrassed because of what they did and felt the Fig leaves made it OK to stand in God's presence. We are no different today. God had to change their clothes to Lamb leathers;Gen 3:21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.  Revelation 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

The best nude models used in art schools are large with lots of curves , at least that's the way it was at The National Art School, Sydney, Australia. I don't know about being pale or being shy. Could you pose naked in front of your best friends for an hour or so??? If you can't do that I don't think you could do it in front of a room full of strangers.....

Different people view nudity in different ways. Some view it as just a natural thing to walk around nude. Others View nudity as something sexually sacred and something that should only be shared with a spouse. Some people just don't liked to to be touched/looked at while their nude. Whether they were raised that way or come up with these views on their own, i think that sums it up

Just remember, "public" means "people."  Anywhere there are people, it's public.  If the people like to see you or watch you do it, lather up!  If not, go somewhere else.  You could always find a quiet empty place, but who's going to walk in on you?  And also, behind every window may be a set of eyes.  You can't even do that in nudist camps without getting thrown out.
