1 | Is it considered wrong to wear shorts? | Lev 9:22 | waterlily99 | 1681 | ||
I was reading a Christian magazine the other day and I think that it took bible verses out of context (Genesis 9:20-17 and Lev. 18:5-8) as well as some others It conserned nakedness. Does the bible say that we are wrong to asee our family members naked? It even says that seeing you children naked is wrong. It goes as far as to say that uncovered ankles and shoulders are wrong. Are they wrong or am I? | ||||||

Dear waterlily, I don't suggest you reveal the name of the magazine to which you refer, but I must say my curiosity jumped into high gear! From your account it's not so much that the verses were taken out of context as it is that the writer of the article missed the meaning of the text. The Leviticus account is talking about incest, not nakedness. The phrase "to uncover the nakedness" is a Hebrew euphemism for having sexual relations. What this has to do with wearing shorts or seeing our children naked is beyond my comprehension. Are we to make sure our children are fully clothed before we bathe them? If your magazine is by subscription, you might want to consider letting it quietly expire. May God richly bless. Hank. | ||||||
