Well, Jon-Marc, I guess those churches had more in the way of social and secular rules to go by, rather than theological ones. Also, they were had no expertise in the subject, obviously.
That's strange that you were looked up on the Internet! Sounds rather paranoid. It makes it seem that going to church is akin to working at a top secret job.
I think, in a larger sense, they did you a favor by revealing how ignorant and backward they were. They need to move up from 17th century America to the 21st century.
Even if their evaluation of you were theologically correct, and assuming nudism were immoral (for the sake of discussion), then how do they explain Jesus dining with the publicans and sinners? In light of this, it would be their duty to welcome you to their church, in full. By pretending to have just taken their side in this discussion, I have thus proven that they are theologically unsound.
Back to reality, nudism is in keeping with Christianity, as long as our heart and mind is aligned completely with the teachings of Jesus. A clothed person who claims to be a Christian, yet does not live according to the teachings, is no Christian. A nudist who lives each day by the teachings of Jesus is a true Christian. It doesn't get more basic than that.

Additionally, Adam and Eve were nude in the garden. Depending upon the translation etc they were either given clothing to protect themselves or to cover their shame. Either way, Jesus died and paid for our sins so we should not be ashamed as long and we try to follow the teachings of Jesus. Plus calling a nude body disgusting etc is saying God's creation is disgusting. Who are we to say something God created is disgusting??

I concur, FullSun. By the way, I live not far from you at all. I trust you've been enjoying the early spring we're having.

I envy you Warmskin. It's still very cold in Upstate NY, but I also agree with Fullsun that whatever God created is beautiful.

Yes, it has been quite nice, actually laid out by the pool earlier this week for a while. Unfortunately, it means we are not getting the rain and mountain snow we desperately need. Korie Robertson from Duck Dynasty spoke at our church this weekend. What an awesome lady.

Hi Free2be,
We have some advantages out here, but it's not always a bed of roses. Earthquakes really shake things up out here. Bad pun, I guess. California does get ugly in the summer. No rain and the hillside grasses die off in May. I rode through upper-state New York as a boy and wondered why it was beautifully green there in the summer (dumb boy thinking LOL). Later on, it rained in the summer there - unheard of- summer rain!! No wonder the hills were green. Traveling is a great way to learn!! I thought that the whole USA was just like California before we traveled across the country.
We do have a long season for nudism in northern California. Not as good as our friends in neighboring Arizona have it. Still, not bad. We had our first tree blossoms a few weeks ago. I love seeing them, because they remind of what is to come.

Christianity and nudism, do they go together?
