Can a Christian be a nudist?

Many Christians claim that nudism is a sin and is sexual ever since the fall in Genesis.  There are some however who see no conflict and may even use certain verses in the Bible to back it up.

Adam and Eve were nudists before the introduction of sin.

They had a glorious body and so they weren't exactly naked. They realised they were naked after their first sin(it illuminied them. Just like the illuminati of modern day)

Side: No

It is always great talking with Christians. They pretend to want facts but don't understand how facts work. If you don't realize you are naked it doesn't mean you aren't naked.

Ah, Cartman beat me to it. Personally I wouldn't want to be a nudist....at least not in public, but...yeah....Adam and Eve, the original innocent nudists.

Side: Yes

Adam and Eve were nudists. Looks like that's actually the original and preferred way if you are a Bible believing Christian.

Side: Yes

Sin is in the eye of the beholder.

Why not? Surely going nude is displaying God's glory, in all its magnificence?

In fact, I think all Christians should be required to go nude as a sort of initiation ceremony! Have them walk naked through the streets, so that they can demonstrate their love for God's creation!

Why would God create nipple tassels if not to make going nude more fun?

Side: Yes

Sure. People will bring up that God clothed Adam and Eve. However, he did this to protect them from the elements after they had already attempted to cover themselves up due to shame. So the real sin was not nudity,but shame. There is also the modesty argument,but when the BIble talks about modesty, it is talking about not dressing overly fancy.

Of course, a christian can be whatever he wishes to be! Even god says to follow one's heart and if going around naked is a great feeling, go ahead mate my blessings with ya.

Side: Yes

Ah, yes, that famous Bible quote!

"Thou shalt follow your heart, my creations (Unless you are homosexual, in which case, thou shalt burn in Hell)!"

Yes, why not? The only time the Bible speaks negatively of nudity is when there is some other negative associated with it. As for Adam and Eve, it was their shame that was the problem. They tried to cover themselves and hide from God. Once the environment became harsh, clothes were now required, also the clothes God made could be seen as the first example of animal sacrifice.

Side: Yes

It is forbidden for followers of Christ to be so immodest.

The modesty argument is brought up a lot but let's see what the Bible actually says on the issue. The one time modesty is directly brought up in the BIble is in 1 Timothy 2:9. I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes. So far from prohibiting nudity on that passage, what is at issue is in fact dressing too fancy.

Nah, They, at least, have to wear a Birthday Suit, Ties optional ....maybe an extra long, wide one??

Nope. They must keep their pants and underwear on any time they're in the presence of another person.

And this should effectively exterminate the Evangelical threat to the world within a generation. Nice.

Side: No
