1 | What do you mean by disemmbodied Spirits | 1 Thess 4:15 | mark d seyler | 148531 | ||
Hi Lionheart, By disembodied spirits, I mean living in heaven without a body. This is some people's concept of what happens after death, but before the rapture resurrection. Paul indicates that the is not what he wants, to be "naked", without the clothing of a body. Love in Christ, mark |

Hi, Mark! Strictly as a point of curiosity: A pastor friend of mine takes 2 Cor 2:5 and ties it into 1 Cor 15 and 1 Thes 4... He believes that in heaven those dead in Christ have some sort of temporary (heavenly) body until the resurrection. He's a pretty learned fellow, but, frankly, I have not encountered this notion since. In Him, Doc |

Frankly I don't know what on earth your question has to do with the Note to which you replied. But to answer your question -- as you asked it -- here is what the Bible says. New Revised Standard Version Lev 18:6 None of you shall approach anyone near of kin to uncover nakedness: I am the Lord. 7 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, which is the nakedness of your mother; she is your mother, you shall not uncover her nakedness. 8 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's wife; it is the nakedness of your father. 9 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your sister, your father's daughter or your mother's daughter, whether born at home or born abroad. 10 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your son's daughter or of your daughter's daughter, for their nakedness is your own nakedness. 11 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's wife's daughter, begotten by your father, since she is your sister. 12 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's sister; she is your father's flesh. 13 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister, for she is your mother's flesh. 14 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's brother, that is, you shall not approach his wife; she is your aunt. 15 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law: she is your son's wife; you shall not uncover her nakedness. 16 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother's wife; it is your brother's nakedness. 17 You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, and you shall not take her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter to uncover her nakedness; they are your flesh; it is depravity. 18 And you shall not take a woman as a rival to her sister, uncovering her nakedness while her sister is still alive. 19 You shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness while she is in her menstrual uncleanness. . . . Lev 20:18 (NRSV) If a man lies with a woman having her sickness and uncovers her nakedness, he has laid bare her flow and she has laid bare her flow of blood; both of them shall be cut off from their people. 19 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister or of your father's sister, for that is to lay bare one's own flesh; they shall be subject to punishment. |

kalos : The connection betwixt the note and the question in question to which you responded may be explained thusly: It was built around the word "disembodied" which breaks down as follows: "dis" is short for "disrobe," hence, to get naked; "em" is short for "them" of course; and "bodied" refers to body or corpus (plural bodies or corpi). So we have the question of whether it's ok to disrobe them bodies around the house, i.e. to go naked at home, or in the language of the questioner, "to practice nudity." I'm not clear as yet on just how much one needs to practice in order master the art of being nude, or why one would want to. Neither do I understand the educational value or spiritual edification inherent in running around in one's house naked as a jay bird -- and I'm telling the naked truth about that. --Hank | ||||||

Hi, Hank! I have very little knowledge about the physical appearance of birds... could you clarify this matter of this bird that apparently enjoys walking around naked... is the jay bird akin to that furless cat... I mean, is it born featherless or does it pluck them out to make some type of statement? Baring my ignorance... Angel |

Angel : Sorry, but I don't know the etymology of the simile, naked as a jay bird, but it has been around as long as I have, and that's quite a while. --Hank | ||||||

Dear Word Detective: Can you please explain "naked as a jaybird"? We have many blue jays where I live, but all of them are covered with feathers. Am I missing something? Do all their feathers fall off at some point? -- M. Mercurio, via the internet. Not that I'm aware of, though I suppose it's not impossible. My dogs, after all, shed enough hair every summer to build a whole new dog. Maybe blue jays shed their feathers when they fly to Florida for the winter. It's probably hard to get a decent tan when you're covered with feathers. The phrase "naked as a jay bird" means, of course, to be utterly without clothing. A "jay" is a species of songbird, probably most familiar to us as the blue jay, with its brilliant blue plumage and distinctively raucous call. Just where the phrase "naked as a jaybird" came from is, however, a mystery. It has been in fairly common usage since the middle of the 20th century, and seems to be American in origin. Why blue jays, which are modestly covered with feathers, should have become symbols of stark nudity is anyone's guess. The English have a similar phrase, "naked as a robin," but that doesn't seem to make any sense either. I suppose it is possible that "naked as a jaybird" is related somehow to the use of "jay" in the 19th century for a hick or rube recently arrived in the city. This "jay" underlies our term "jaywalk," meaning to cross the street in the middle of the block or in some other unorthodox fashion, supposedly as one unaccustomed to urban traffic rules might. In any case, since we're reduced to guessing, here's mine. There are few birds more blatantly obvious than the male blue jay. Not only is Mr. Jay bright blue, not a common color for animals of any ilk, but he is also usually the loudest and most obnoxious bird in any given tree. As a symbol of that which is flamboyantly obvious, the blue jay takes the cake. "Naked as a jaybird," therefore, might just be a colorful way of saying "blatantly and obviously completely naked." http://www.word-detective.com EdB |
