Christian Nudists
We gather together for fellowship. To share about our relationship with God To tell of how we work out being a Christian and a nudist in daily living. We see nudism as a positive expression of our God given sexual nature.

But there is Something that is Crazy Phenomenal for Christian Family Nudism and Being Friends with Christian Naturist Families.
God Meant for Humans to Be Naked, and It is A Little Bit Like Being in the Garden Of Eden to Have Christian Nudist Friends together.
Love All My Christian Nudist Friends and Family.
Love, Karl.

I agree with you. God created us nude. So actually its a sin to wear clothes. We should live nude all together 24/7 everywhere is possible. Like in Garden Eden.
Christianity has a complicated relationship to nudity. First we were created in God's image. Then we felt shame for our nudity in the Garden. Then Jesus the second Adam told us to be naked and beautiful like flowers blooming in the valley and to follow him. Then Paul disparged the body and told us to follow him and his example. Mixed messaging.

The messages aren't mixed. It is clear that Adam and Eve sinned and lost their innocence. We should seek to regain that innocence and being nude can be part of that, if we choose. Choice is something God has given us, including the choice to accept Him and the choice to sin. That said, as in our society, sexual sin can be associated with nudity and we are to avoid sexual sin. It all seems very clear to me.
I consider you fortunate to have a clear sense of what consitutes sexual sin in the Bible. I don't. Lot's daughters got their dad drunk to have sex with him and get pregnant. Abraham let his wife Sarai be cruel to the slave Hagar, the mother of his son Ishmael, to the point that she had to run away without a provider or protector or the opportunity to be independent. Neither faced Biblical condemnation. Onan on the other hand was ordered to have sex with his sister in law and was struck dead for pulling out of her before ejaculating. Incest, drunkenness, slavery, cruelty and capital punishment for going against divine sexual coercion: are these the bedrock of Biblical family values? Or is there a whole morality based on not wasting a single sperm or egg for familial or clan responsibilty to be fruitful and multiply? How are these values relevant when our population is threatened for being too large rather than too small?

Lots of questions there that each requires a conversation. Superficial answers are, in my view, insufficient to explore the depths of the (superficial?) questions you raise. Were Abraham and Sarah rebuked for their actions? Yes. Was incest rewarded? No. Is obedience expected? Yes. Do people drink to excess? Yes, and there are consequences. Indeed, I am blessed (fortunate). I know what constitutes sexual sin so that I can apply it and I am, like the woman caught in adultery, just as guilty.
My point was that God gives choices and instructs against sexual sin. In our day, nudity and sex get conflated.

Thanks for your respectful reply and stating your point in a thoughtful manner. In the same way that nudity and sex get conflated, society also conflates God's will and instructions (incl but not limited to sexuality) with Church teachings. Where does that leave victims of clerical sexual abuse (myself included) in making healthy choices about individual sexuality to prevent sin and separation when the Church is clearly separated from its teachings in practicing institutional sexuality? The lack of accountability is what burns me decades later, not the fact that we all make mistakes. And if God sees our hearts and intents more than issues of population, I believe this loving Father, that loyal Son and that uncapturable Spirit will see sexuality as even more nuanced and all encompassing that I can imagine. Love one another. That is all.
I am not a highly educated man I believe in God and Jesus am not a member of any organized church ,That because I think the different churches were founded by individuals who wanted power over the people and you will not have to look very hard to see that They took the parts of Gods words that fit there purpose and distorted the rest wrote there own versions of the bible, Down thought the ages the Church has controlled men and women dress at one point women wore dresses the the bodies exposed there breast and mettle hoops flared out the lower part because there were no under garments so flaring it allowed women to releave themself s while standing or walking men had a code-peace over there groin area of the trousers which could be released to allow urination ,Then the church decided that was bad and breast were hidden and under ware was added so the church is just as corrupt as government and some churches have more power over us than government I will refrain from talking about the popes and priest at this .I am a unaffiliated Christian who trays to follow gods plan I do not think we are ordained by him To be covered in layer of clothing He gave us a brain that tells us when its winter we can find covering to help keep use warm and coverings for are feet a number of the tribe people were mostly naked until missionary's told them to cover there nakedness . Just my 2 cents
