1 | Why are our nude bodys shamefull? | 1 John 5:3 | shadow_thorn | 119326 | ||
Why is our nakedness such a shamefull thing?I know the story of adam and eve but I know of many tribes who have not been exposed to the bible who live amongst each other with thier men and women fully exposed to each other.I have read the bible and find all these rules set for us and I don't know why they are there.If your not impeding on anyones rights why is it wrong.I'm talking about things like homosexuality,nudity or even people who have multiple sex partners with each others consent.I'm brought up to believe these things are wrong but in my heart I can't work out why. | ||||||

Shadow: __"I have read the Bible and find all these rules set for us, and I don't know why they are there."__ ....... I am not trying to be cute or curt when I say that they are there because the all-wise sovereign God put them there. You say in your heart you can't work out why homosexuality and having multiple sex partners are wrong. Again, God's word says explicitly that they are wrong. He calls homosexuality perversion, promiscuity fornication, and both sin. So the issue boils down to this: do you trust God or what you can work out in your heart? Look at what Jesus says about the human heart: "For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, deeds of coveting and wickedness, as well as deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride and foolishness. All these evil things proceed from within and defile the man." [Mark 2:21-23]. After reading this, would you say that Jesus credits the human heart with any merit whatever to be a reliable moral compass? ...... Are you a regenerated (born again) follower of Jesus Christ? If you are, friend, why are you apparently having such a problem believing and accepting as authoritative the word of Him whom you profess as your Lord and Savior? --Hank | ||||||
