Followers of Jesus, Christians are going to judged by the Law of Love. Jas 2:12

NON-Christians, will be judged by the whole OT Law of Moses.

There will be 2 different judgements, one for Christians and one for non-Christians.

Jas 2:12 - So whenever you speak, or whatever you do, remember that you will be judged by the law of love, the law that set you free.

Romans 7:4 (GW) In the same way, brothers and
sisters, you have died to the laws in Moses'
Teachings through Christ's body. You belong
to someone else, the one who was brought
back to life. As a result, we can do what God
wants.
Ro 13:9 - For the commandments against adultery and murder and stealing and coveting – and any other commandment – are all summed up in this onecommandment: "Love your neighbor as yourself."

2Co 5:17 - Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

Tit 1:15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.

Ro 14:20 - For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.

1Co 10:23 – All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.

Gospel of Thomas Although no major Christian group accepts this book as canonical or authoritative (its translation was unavailable until the 20th century), it relates a conversation between Jesus and his disciples:

His disciples asked, "When will you become revealed to us and when shall we see you?" Jesus answered, "When you disrobe without being ashamed and take up your garments and place them under your feet like little children and tread on them, then will you see the son of the Living One, and you will not be afraid."[14]

Christian naturists view the story of the Garden of Eden as a model for their beliefs.

It is also the main scripture where their interpretation disagrees with denominations where clothing is required. When Adam and Eve were created and placed in the garden as a couple by God, they were both naked and "felt no shame". (Genesis 2:25

Below is a partial list of Bible verses that religious people take out of context to bad mouth loving nudity or loving x rated photos.

Remember in all the Bible, Jewish Hebrews and Christians were always surrounded by pagans worshiping their pagan fertility god pagan sex orgy.

They always try hard to seduce them to join them in there worship of this pagan fertility pagan god. 1 Cor 10:8, Nu 25:1-9, Nu31

In the Bible days they made images and drawing of this pagan fertility god to worship her as their pagan fertility god (This is called fornication.

from Greek word poenia (converted or translated into the word fornication) and “Porno”graphic was photos of this pagan fertility god, who pagans say created reproduction, and sexuality and by worshiping her in their pagan worshiping sex orgy , they had the promise of stronger reproductive crops and farm animals to make lot more money.

Today, people wrongly call nude photos or x rated photos “porno”graphic photos, which is incorrect. Today nude or x rate photos are not of a pagan fertility god to worship as a creator god of sexuality. They are just nude photos of regular people.

Matt 5:28 taken out of context. Religious people always bring up this verse when taking about nudity or nude photos. God is very pro-sex and pro-nudist. God wants all creation to be nudist proof creation God’s design .

Gen 1:31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good.

Gen 2:25 And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.

Matt 5:28 taken out of context, here Jesus is talking to his enemies who are seek to kill him and they are trying to work their way to heaven on their own merits.

Jesus talked one way to his followers and total different to his enemies. Lk 10:21, Mk 4:10-12

Mt 5:27 "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery.'
28 But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29 If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell.
30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell.

Jesus or God does not want people cutting off there body parts. This is not the plan of salvation at all. Even if you cut off all your body parts, this does not get anyone into heaven. These enemies of Jesus thought they could do these types of things to earn their way to heaven and avoid hell. 100% NOT.

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

john 3:16-18

16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

In that day sometimes religious people would cut themselves to let out evil spirits this is clearly false teaching.

The Purpose of the Parables talk to Jesus enemies

MK4:10 And when he was alone, those around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.

11 And he said to them, "To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God, but for those outside everything is in parables,

12 so that "they may indeed see but not perceive, and may indeed hear but not understand, lest they should turn and be forgiven."

LK10:21 In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding (holier then thou enemies of Jesus) and revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will.

Truth hidden from Jesus enemies. They rejected Jesus and was trying to get to heaven on their own merit.

Eph 2:8-9

8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

Psalm 119:37 Taken out of context nothing to do with sex or x rate photos items

Psalm 119:37 (BBE) Let my eyes be turned away from what is false; give me life in your ways.
Psalm 119:37 (ASV) Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity, And quicken me in thy ways.
Psalm 119:37 (GW) Turn my eyes away from worthless things. Give me a new life in your ways.
Psalm 119:37 (MSG) Divert my eyes from toys and trinkets, invigorate me on the pilgrim way.

David married over 20 wives and concubines and many more

2 sam 12:8 God gave David many wives God is clearly pro-polygamy.

2 Samuel 12:8 (ESV) And I (GOD) gave you your master's house and your master's wives into your arms and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah. And if this were too little, I (God ) would add to you as much more.

David and Solomon clearly understood they could have unlimited women. God gave sexual freedom to all at creation.

SOS 6:8 There are sixty queens and eighty concubines, and virgins without number.

II Samuel 6:14-23—King David danced nearly naked in the City of David to celebrate the return of the ark, in full view of all the citizens of the city. Michal criticized his public nudity and was rebuffed. (God punished her)

King David was not strictly naked—he wore a “linen ephod,” a sort of short apron or close-fitting, armless, outer vest, extending at the most down to the hips. Ephods were part of the vestments worn by Jewish priests. They hid nothing

Isaiah 20:2-3—God directly commanded Isaiah to loose the sackcloth from his hips, and he went naked and barefoot for three years.

Song of Solomon repeatedly expresses appreciation for the naked body.

Many historical church leaders have disassociated nudity with sexual immodesty.

Through Christ, the Christian is returned spiritually to the same sinless, shameless state Adam and Eve enjoyed in Eden (Genesis 2:25). There is no question that their nakedness was not sinful. When God creates, nakedness is good. It follows that when God re-creates, nakedness is also good.

In Christ we are a “NEW CREATION” the same as when Adam and Eve were sinless before the fall, they were God’s or Christ’s “NEW CREATION” in God, or in Christ because Christ created all things per Jn 1:1

Romans 6:19 context nothing to do with x rated photos

Dead to Sin, Alive in Christ Slaves to Righteousness

Rom 6:18 You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.
19I am using an example from everyday life because of your human limitations. Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer yourselves as slaves to righteousness leading to holiness.
20 When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness.
21 What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death!
22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.
23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

1 John 2:16 Not clear can apply to any thing you declare to be a sin that you can think of. Best to read it backwards to clearly understand it.

First read the last part :
"None of these come from the Father, but all of them come from the world."

Ask yourself what that means? Another verse say, "Satan was cast down to the earth and is the prince and power of the air"

Is this verse reflex that info?

Nudity and human sexuality, animal sexuality, plant sexuality , is not sin. God said it was very good or excellence. (Gen 1:31) Nudity is clearly of and from God. God creation is all nudes. 100% creation is God's design and God clearly very pro-nudity and pro-sexual pleasure, it is clearly God's design of all creation.

If Adam ate from the "tree of (eternal) life", 100% all humans would be nudist today and FOREVER, "heaven" on earth forever 100% nude.

But most follow sinful, evil, Adam and Eve and not God's creation design for us all.

But when Playboy Magazine first magazine had a nude photo of a women, religious people called that, "pornography. Totally wrong. That was just a nude photo of a normal human women. NOT pornography.

"Porno"graphic photos and images in the Bible were photos of a pagan fertility god they worship as a creator pagan god. Normal nude women is NOT the same.

1 John 2:16 (NCV) These are the ways of the world: wanting to please our sinful selves, wanting the sinful things we see, and being too proud of what we have. None of these come from the Father, but all of them come from the world.

1 John 2:16 (MSG) Practically everything that goes on in the world - wanting your own way, wanting everything for yourself, wanting to appear important - has nothing to do with the Father. It just isolates you from him.

Ephesians 5:31 about marriage nothing to do with nude photos.

Ephesians 5:31 (ASV) For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh.

1 thess 4:3-7 context is fornication NOT nude or xrated photos

1 Thessalonians 4:3 (ASV) For this is the will of God, [even] your sanctification, that ye abstain from fornication;

Fornication in the Bible days was the worship of a pagan fertility god. Per Paul in 1 Cor 10:8, Nu 25: 1-9, Nu 31, NOT Just "single sex".
1 Cor 10:8 context is fornication NOT nude or xrated photos

1 Corinthians 10:8 (ASV) Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

Nu 25:1-9 Moab Seduces Jewish Hebrews to join in worship of their pagan fertility god worship sex orgy =fornication

1 While Israel was staying in Shittim, the men began to indulge in sexual immorality with Moabite women,
2 who invited them to the sacrifices to their gods. The people ate the sacrificial meal and bowed down before these gods.
3 So Israel yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor. And the LORD’s anger burned against them.
4 The LORD said to Moses, “Take all the leaders of these people, kill them and expose them in broad daylight before the LORD, so that the LORD’s fierce anger may turn away from Israel.”
5 So Moses said to Israel’s judges, “Each of you must put to death those of your people who have yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor.”
…. Then the plague against the Israelites was stopped;
9 but those who died in the plague numbered 24,000.

Nu 31:15 Moses said to them, "Have you let all the women live?

16 Behold, these, on Balaam's advice, caused the people of Israel to act treacherously against the LORD in the incident of Peor, and so the plague came among the congregation of the LORD. (Nu25:1-9)

17 Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man by lying with him. (meaning they joined in with the worship of pagan fertility god .)

18 But all the young girls who have not known man by lying with him keep alive for yourselves.

27 and divide the plunder into two parts between the warriors who went out to battle and all the congregation.

35 and 32,000 persons in all, women who had not known man by lying with him.
16,000 young girls to 12,000 soldier as concubine God pro-polygamy

Gal 5:19-21 Nothing to do with nude or x rated photos context is old pagan life style These verse would describe a group of pagan fertility god worshipers and their group of actions common to them.

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness,lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions,heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

These verse would describe a group of pagan fertility god worshipers and their group of actions common to them.

12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, butI will not be brought under the power of any.
13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the se up us by his own power.
15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid*.

16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one* flesh.
17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
19 What?know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God,and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body,and in your spirit, which are God's.

Job 31:1 taken out context Job is not making any kind of law (Job is not a prophet) that all are required to obey. He is very confused and under major stress to figure out why God took everything from him. Do not base Doctrine teaching on the Book of Job.

1 I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?
9 If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour'sdoor;
10 Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her.

2 peter 2:19 out of context not about nudity or x rate photos but about false teaching about Jesus and worship pagan fertility god.

1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers

among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them,and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not,and their damnation slumbereth not.
4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
5And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness,bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
6 And turning the cities of Sodom andGomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;
14 They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed children!
15 Forsaking the right way, they have gone astray. They have followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved gain from wrongdoing,

22 What the true proverb says has happened to them: "The dog returns to its own vomit, and the sow, after washing herself, returns to wallow in the mire."

Proverbs 6:25-28 out of context. NOT talking about human nudity or nude photosbut is talking about adultery of another man wife with out his permission. Ex 21:4

Proverbs 6:25-28 context is about adultery wife seduce you. Not about nudity or x rate photo.

This is a married women acting like a prostitute without her husbands permission.

Nothing wrong with normal prostitution, other then cost money, (cheaper to buy the women as in marrying her and pay one time, like a car is it cheaper to buy a car or lease or rent a car) Non-pagan worshiper prostitutes

Prov. 6:25 Do not desire her beauty in your heart, and do not let her capture you with her eyelashes;
26 for the price of a prostitute is only a loaf of bread, but a married woman hunts down a precious life. (super jealous husband may come after you and kill you) (swingers have mutual agreement with no jealousy) Ex 21:4)
27 Can a man carry fire next to his chest and his clothes not be burned?
28 Or can one walk on hot coals and his feet not be scorched?

LA Pastor brother research nudity in the Bible became a nudist and gave 40 page articles to Brother Pastor and Both Pastor and wife became nudist.

  1. Genesis 1:27—1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

God made all creation pure and sinless and holy 100% acceptable to God pleasing because he made it. And in Gen 1:31 said “it was excellent in every way”

God wanted then and now 100% of creation to be 100% Open public NUDIST. Including all humans. But Adam and Eve rebelled and sinned against God and God design. Also with their new corrupt and confused, and misguided knowledge and with Serpent’s lies make more wrong choices.

Most people still copy Adam and Eve corrupt thinking today and still have wrong conclusions.

God wanted them to be naked on purpose, his choice, his design. God wanted all humans to be NUDIST.

If Adam and Eve obeyed God and ate from “tree of (eternal) life”, all people would be 100% open public nudist and open public sex for all to see, with no man made shame and no man made guilt trips for all times on earth.

God is very pro-nudist and pro-public sex with no shame.

It God’s desire for all creation for all times. Only human rebelled, but all other creation still have this even today. (They did not get the corrupt, confused thinking.)

Titus 1:15

15 Unto the pure all things are pure : but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled .

God only put cloth on them because they wanted it , not God. God wants them nudist for all time.

Rom 14:14 14 I know and am perfectly sure on the authority of the Lord Jesus that no food, in and of itself, is wrong to eat. But if someone believes it is wrong, then for that person it is wrong.

  1. Genesis 3:7—7 At that moment, their eyes were opened, and they suddenly felt shame at their nakedness. So they strung fig leaves together around their hips to cover themselves.
    Many scholars interpret the wearing of fig leaves as a continuation and expansion of the original sin, not a positive moral reaction to it.
    Hugh Kilmer explains: “Man wanted to put his life within his own control rather than God’s, so first he took the power of self-determination (knowledge of good and evil). Next, finding his body was not within his control, he controlled it artificially by hiding it. After he was expelled from paradise, he began to hunt and eat animals; then to gain complete control over other people, by killing them (the story of Cain and Abel).” 278

  2. Genesis 3:10— 10 He replied, "I heard you, so I hid. I was afraid because I was naked."
    Many scholars believe that Adam and Eve’s sense of shame came not from their nakedness, which God had created and called good, but from their knowledge of having disobeyed God.

  1. An innate, God-given sense of shame related to nakedness is contradicted by the existence of numerous indigenous societies in which nudity is the rule and a sense of shame is totally absent, and by the lack of shame felt by naked children.

  2. Genesis 3:11— 11 "Who told you that you were naked?" the LORD God asked. "Have you eaten the fruit I commanded you not to eat?"

Robert Bahr observes that “when Adam and Eve disobeyed God, they grew ashamed of what they had done and attempted to hide themselves from God, who was not the least bit concerned with their nakedness but was mightily unhappy with their disobedience.” 279

  1. Genesis 3:21—God made garments of skins for Adam, but the Bible does not say the state of nakedness is being condemned. Because of the Fall, Adam and Eve were no longer in Eden and were thus subject to the varieties of weather and climate, and God knew they would need clothes. God loved and cared for them even after they had sinned.

Herb Seal notes that God provided a covering by slaying an innocent animal: the first prototype of the innocent one slain to act as a “covering” for sinners.280

  1. To assume that because God made garments He was condemning nudity makes as much sense as concluding that because God made clouds which blot out the sun He was condemning sunshine.

  2. Exodus 20:26—The Priest’s nakedness was not to be exposed because it would create dissonance between his social role, in which he was to be seen as sexually neutral, and his biological status as a sexual being.

The Priest’s costume represented his social role; to be exposed in that context would be inappropriate and distracting.282

Rita Poretsky writes: “Person hood, original sexual energy, and physical nakedness may be either in synchrony with social institutions or in disharmony… . Nakedness is a nakedness of self in a social context, not just a nakedness of body.” 283

On the other hand, it was quite appropriate for David to dance essentially naked in public to celebrate the return of the Ark of the Covenant (II Samuel 6:14-23).

  1. Genesis 9:22-24—Noah was both drunk and naked, but Ham was the one who was cursed—when he dishonored his father, by calling attention to Noah’s state, and making light of it.

The shame of Noah’s “nakedness” was much more than just being undressed. It was his dehumanized, drunken stupor which was shameful. Ham’s offense was not merely seeing his father in this shameful state, but gossiping about it, effectively destroying Noah’s reputation, cultural status, and authority as a father figure. In the story, Shem and Japheth were blessed for coming to the defense of their father’s honor. Rather than joining Ham in his boasting, they reverently covered their father’s shame.281

  1. Leviticus 18:6-19—Here and throughout the Old Testament and Torah, the expression “uncover the nakedness of” (as it is literally translated in the King James Version) is a euphemism for “have sexual relations with.” The prohibitions do not refer to nudity per se.284

  2. I Samuel 19:23-24—Jewish prophets were commonly naked—so commonly that when Saul stripped off his clothes and prophesied, no one considered his nakedness remarkable, but everyone immediately assumed that he must be a prophet also.

Nakedness and The Bible – The book “Nakedness and the Bible” does not claim to be a defense of naturism; it just claims to be an explanation of what the Bible says on both sides of this issue. For some time, people have used the Bible in an attempt to say that naturism is outside God’s law and should not be practiced by Christians.

The author, Paul M. Bowman, mentions the account of what is termed the fall of man, when Adam and Eve decided to willfully disobey God and sin.

He deals with how the nudity has been dealt with throughout the history of the church, yet the author writes that the anti-nudity message that the church has now been due to a result of the 400 years of an anti-sexual message.

There are other references to nudity in the Bible, such as:[13]

1 Samuel 19:24 He (Saul) stripped off his robes and also prophesied in Samuel's presence. He lay that way all that day and night. This is why people say, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"

2 Samuel 6:20-23 As the Ark of the Covenant finally arrives in Jerusalem, King David dances nude within sight of slave girls. For this he is strongly denounced by his wife, Michal. David replies "I will celebrate before the Lord. I will become even more humble than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes. But by these slave girls you spoke of, I will be held in honor." The Scripture immediately following adds: "And Michal (daughter of Saul) had no children to the day of her death." (For a woman in the ancient Near East to be barren was considered one of the worst cursespossible.[citation needed])

2 Samuel 11 While King David was rebuked by God for his lust of Bathsheba (a married woman), nothing was said about her nude bathing.

Isaiah 20:2 The Lord says to Isaiah: "Take off the sackcloth from your body and the sandals from your feet." And he did so, going around stripped and barefoot.

Micah 1:8a (Micah speaking:) Because of this [Jacob's transgression] I will weep and wail; I will go about barefoot and naked.

Matthew 6:25 and Luke 12:22-23 Then Jesus said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?"

Mark 14:51-52 "A young man, wearing nothing but a linen garment, was following Jesus. When they seized him, he fled naked, leaving his garment behind."

John 19:23-24 "When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, ... "Let's not tear [the undergarment]," they said to one another. "Let's decide by lot who will get it...." Many paintings and films depict Christ's crucifixion with Him wearing a loin cloth, but this is consistent neither with scripture nor with the normal method of a Roman crucifixion.

Gospel of Thomas Although no major Christian group accepts this book as canonical or authoritative (its translation was unavailable until the 20th century), it relates a conversation between Jesus and his disciples:

His disciples asked, "When will you become revealed to us and when shall we see you?" Jesus answered, "When you disrobe without being ashamed and take up your garments and place them under your feet like little children and tread on them, then will you see the son of the Living One, and you will not be afraid."[14]

Christian naturists view the story of the Garden of Eden as a model for their beliefs.

It is also the main scripture where their interpretation disagrees with denominations where clothing is required. When Adam and Eve were created and placed in the garden as a couple by God, they were both naked and "felt no shame". (Genesis 2:25
