On the other hand, I’ve talked with others who have felt such touch was too arousing for them. Other friends have shared that their experiences with male touch to be loving and very beneficial. I’ve maintained a lot of wonderful, platonic cuddling with friends. But have any of my thoughts changed since I wrote those posts? It’s now been three to four years since I’ve written those blogs on cuddling and nudity, and I’ve shared many cuddles since with guys I’ve met through YOB. Some say these posts have made YOB look less interested in following Jesus, obsessing only over cuddles. Some people have praised these posts for articulating their own feelings, while others have felt I’m “playing with fire” and leading others to sin. An artist might also believe in modesty in general, but when trying to portray beauty, they might reason within themselves that a sculpture can show the human form.Probably my most popular and well-known YOB posts are my several blogs on cuddling and nudity. What for? Why do we need to see it? Maybe a missionary training video to see if you can handle seeing it? I wanted you to see their bare feet int eh jungle but couldn't avoid his dangle? Come on. There is no need for a sculptor or painter or cameraman to show immodesty. I a more concerned about you for that than looking at nudity. What command do you break by not looking at art or National Geo? Not saving a life when I could would be a violation of a command also. Intentionally doing something not necessary. The higher good could apply here in a sense.īut there is no higher good, it is about what is sin. Should I let a woman die rather than pull her out of a fire because her clothes are ripped off? No of course not. This applies only to accidental and unavoidable. Yes I think this is what most men say, the Playboy I got was for the articles, those incidental pics of naked women I hardly noticed.īut the articles were of more good than the pics were bad! Ridiculous.
#FIND LOVE OR DIE TRYING NUDITY MOVIE#
I found it highly inconsistent to be offended at tribal nudity in the background and yet brag about a movie where nudity was displayed in a romantic/erotic way. This same pastor, 2 weeks later, mentions how good the movie Braveheart was, that had frontal nudity displayed during a "love" scene, i.e., erotic nudity. Interesting anecdote: I got mildly scolded for a tribal pic with native nudity (in the background). So, that is why we in our common sense, recognize a distinction between National Geographic and Playboy. So, the nudity is not the main focus, other factors play a larger part. An anthropologist or a missionary might believe in modesty, but see that an acurate portrayal of the local culture is a higher good, or they may just be encountering the near impossibility of getting photos without some form of immodesty and decide that some less-than-perfect photos are better than no pics at all. An artist might also believe in modesty in general, but when trying to portray beauty, they might reason within themselves that a sculpture can show the human form. For instance, a doctor may believe in the principle of modesty - yet the need for checking a patient is a higher guide. Why? Because they recognize that there are mitigating factors which makes one form of nudity to differ from another. But many would not lump all nudity into the same degree of sinfulness/propriety. It seems that the preservation of modesty is good. This introduces a key point: a hierarchy of good, an ordering of principles. Their main intention is the accurate depiction of local cultures. They do not intend as their main focus to show nudity. Maybe this is because it is what we teach ?
I haven't heard of any Christian women in any culture who thought it was OK to uncover the breasts. It isn't about whether someone thinks it is sexy, it is about obedience to God's clear teaching.Īnd since one may argue that the scripture is not that specific, is only the pudenda meant or the breasts also, I can say I am absolute dogmatic on the genitals, but because God covered them all and nature teaches most of us the breasts too, I go with that. There is no need to just let it all hang out uncovered and I would say this is not a sexy thing either to a healthy person.
#FIND LOVE OR DIE TRYING NUDITY PRO#
I am pro public nursing, but I would think it only right the mom's cover up if they need to do this. I don't need to see their genitals to believe them.
Shall I go to a satanic ritual so I can understand the reality of this bit of unregeneracy? Are you saying it is an accident when they show it?
