Let's not deceive ourselves. The clothes one put on MATTER! BIG TIME. Can OP allow a naked woman walk about his bedroom simply because he has "no lust for her"? Furthermore, The way a female reacts to body of a naked male is definitely not the same vice versa. Its no surprise the emphasis is on the females: In a like manner that WOMEN adorn themselves in modest apparel 1 Tim 2:9-10 (Capitalization mine) See also 1 Peter 3:3 I certainly don't deny the place of lust, which is why even parts of the country where women are covered head to toe, we still hear of molestation cases. However it will be an error to downplay the impact of proper dressing, particularly - but not exclusively - for females. Churches have strict rules on dressing for a reason |

Though I didnt bother to read that gibberish but most times nuditity brings about lust. A man will be on his own thinking something important but the moment he sees a nude woman, lust comes |

Nudity is the problem You lust after what you see, then all sort of imagination follows |

alezzy13:Can you go to a village where they are naked and you cannot dress the opposite sex to preach the gospel of Jesus? If not, then you have a serious issue that would make you not to be fully obedient to the commandment of Jesus. For Jesus said go into the world and preach the gospel, not to where you are able to dress the people, or where people are dressed. You shouldn't settle for lust, because that's what you do when you depend on people dressing up for you not to fall into sin. Imagine how ridiculous it would be if because a woman was necessarily breastfeeding her baby you fell into such temptation. So this is not against people dressing up, but people depending on people dressing up not to fall into temptation, and sin against God, for I am not naked myself and would advise people to do same because God had a good reason to clothe man and woman after lust came into the equation, even though it wasn't what He originally intended for man. So that's not the point here but that it is not the solution to the problem of sexual immorality, even though it limits the damage, for the solution is that which Jesus gave, which is not lusting after the opposite sex even in our hearts, is the only solution to the lust problem. And it behoves every true disciple of Jesus to observe it. |

Always read your bible very well before u start preaching....After the fall of man in the garden of Eden, God made cloth for man to cover his unclothedness, because God in his infinite wisdom, knew what the consequences of nudilty will be......the great Evangelist Billy Graham was driven through a street where naked women poster where placed every where, he closed his eyes.....the spirit of lust is activate when you continue looking at naked pictures of women as a man or naked pictures of men as a woman. |

Pentasoft1978:Then he should also close the eyes of his mind you that read your bible very well before saying this. Maybe you should also tell Jesus who said that "he that looks upon a woman to lust after her, has already committed adultery in his heart" to also read His bible very well, because that the extent of your knowledge. p.s. I hope that Billy Graham didn't keep driving though, because you know what would happen if so. Lust is the problem not nudity! |

Housing:Genesis 2:1-3 (KJV) Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. |

That is how to deal with sin from the roots; deal with the lust what we often call sin is the outward manifestation of an inward defect. |

jesusjnr:Unbalanced teaching 1 Corinthians 8:9 - But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. |
| Re: Lust Is the Problem, Not Nudity, For Without Lust, Nudity Is Nothing by Nobody: 9:29am On Apr 14, 2019 |
femi4:If so then what would you make of Jesus teaching completely focused on lusting, and never dressing? Then my own which I even added some of dressing would even be more balanced than His. Wisdom is indeed justified of her children. |

I was wondering how Adam and Eve didn’t know they was naked before the fruit and immediately they had the fruit boom they now knew what unclothedness was. yahweh was indeed interesting and full of surprises. |
| Re: Lust Is the Problem, Not Nudity, For Without Lust, Nudity Is Nothing by femi4: 9:37am On Apr 14, 2019 |
jesusjnr:So you ll stop teaching at Jesus' teachings. Are the Apostle teachings not inspired by the holy spirit? Besides, you quoted Jesus out of context there cos Jesus was telling the crowd that he didn't come to abolish the law. He was describing the new testament way of one the 10th Commandment i.e "Thou shall not commit adultery " That given in to lust is same as breaking that law |

jesusjnr:while u are right majority of the text , u are wrong in some aspect , first of all , lust is the problem not nudity but from my point of view , since Adam and Eve eat the fruit , lust becomes a factor in every single man and woman , it becomes a significant factor that can never and ever be eradicated which is why God introduce clothing as a stop gap solution which is also why we must all cover up at all times to prevent lust 1 lust is automatically in every man and woman (a typical example is if u said u conquer the problem of lust and if a lady is to stay with u for a month and thru out the month she was naked , will u be able to resist the lust? let's assumed u were able to because u no longer have lust in you , does that also apply to everyone in the street who will see the same lady going about her business fully naked? when God introduce clothing , I believe his foolishness is wiser than any man wisdom and since the time of eating the fruit , man has freedom of choice , the cloth is to reduce what man can see and hence affect his decision/judgement, the cloth is to bring back morality , for man to see woman from love point of view and not from lust point of view, the cloth act in a way Adam was seeing eve before they ate the fruit, even with this, women have been sowing cloth in a way that sidestep the original plan of cloth itself by sowing cloth that almost equate nudity bringing back the original Lust God was trying to cover women especially has been trying hard this days to go back to nudity even in cloth but to what ends? exactly why do u think every female on Instagram is either semi naked or fully naked ? because they are comfortable in nudity ? no but because they are lustful not for sex but for money and sex is one way to bring money lust is mostly associated with sex but on many occasions it's not sex the primary reason but money . Yes Jesus was trying to remove the original sin "lust" but even him walk around in cloth because if he remove his cloth because he want to set example so we could actually do away with lust , there are people who will try to rape him (men/women) which in so doing has made those people to sin because of his own behavior in a nutshell we can not pretend nudity is not a factor , it's a very big factor and no matter who u are , nudity can affect your judgement, God is so wise when he introduced clothing , why did u think nudity is the most sellable product in the world ? even when u have shaded ur mind from nudity , u can still fall for it , because lust is in you , but with moderation from everyone , it can be conquer , if u conquer it , can I? can the numerous people on this forum ? |

femi4:Jesus Himself commanded His disciples to teach men to observe all that He had commanded them, so any other teaching of any apostle is secondary to that of Jesus, at least Jesus insinuated that Himself by such an instruction. You can do whatever you want though as many of your kinds today, but I know the difference it makes to follow the example of Jesus, for if it was, then the extent of divorce, sexual immorality, adultery, etc. that takes place amongst those of the church today, inclusive of her leaders wouldn't be today, for even if there was, it would be negligible. That why I would place the teachings of Jesus far and above every other teaching whether the apostles or not, for one cannot serve two masters but just one, and Jesus is my Master, so it reflects in my words as you can clearly see. |

jesusjnr:Let's end this quickly......So, answer with YES or No, Apostle teachings are not Jesus' teachings. |
| Re: Lust Is the Problem, Not Nudity, For Without Lust, Nudity Is Nothing by Nobody: 9:59am On Apr 14, 2019 |
femi4:No use of that. Because you already know my answer to that for only any teaching that corresponds that of Jesus is meant to be taught and observed by those of His church. |

jesusjnr:I ll leave you with this: Paul first taught about Jews and Gentiles being one. It was awkward to Peter because it wasn't part of Jesus' teaching when He was with them. Gal 2:11 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. 12 For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision. If Jesus taught them ALL, then the need of the holy spirit would be unnecessary. |
