  • Most of your rabble was addressed in either Post #29 and Post #75.

    Matthew 25 has to do with those in prison. If they had either no or little clothing that would be very uncomfortable (deadly?) during a winter in Jerusalem.

    But keep on repeating the same things that have already been dealt with.

      Why are you so obsessed with running around naked, again?

      • The implication from those previously cited posts seem to be that if it was ever okay for some people to be naked, it must be appropriate for people in all times to be naked. That does not logically follow. Paul stated that it was improper for men in Corinth to have long hair. However, it was not inappropriate for Samson to have long hair, nor for men who took the Nazirite vow. Using the logic presented earlier, the Corinthians could have told Paul he was wrong because it wasn't wrong for those other men.

            They couldn't have told Paul was wrong because he was writing under inspiration. The New Testament had not yet been completed.

              More like ignorantly handwaved away. You and the cultural context are not well-acquainted. It should be obvious that Isaiah, Ezkiel, et al. were sent because the people were NOT ashamed of their sin - that's why God compared them to harlots!
              Matthew 25 has to do with those in prison. If they had either no or little clothing that would be very uncomfortable (deadly?) during a winter in Jerusalem.
              Oh, so we can freely ignore people who are naked or hungry or thirsty if they're not in prison?

                But Paul said that long hair is always wrong for men, by the nature of things. I'm just using the same logic you are by concluding that one apparent approval of nudity would mean that nudity is okay in any other circumstance.

                  Exceptions did exist in the OT.
                  The Bible teaches that all must die but there are two exceptions that we know of where this did not apply.

                    Not if they are cold and WANT clothing dummy.

                    Forcing people to clothe themselves and forcing people to undress are both wrong.

                    You still have a total of zero passages that supports your unbiblical cause.

                      I thought you said it only had to do with prison. Now it only has do do with being cold and wanting clothing. Which is it?

                      • You cited a section from Scripture about being in prison.
                        If they are cold and wanted clothing I will try to clothe them.

                        The same holds true if they are out of prison.

                          Then your initial answer was incorrect, yes?

                          Source: Matt 25:37-39 NKJV

                          37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’

                          You do understand the difference between 'and' and 'or', correct? Also, notice it says nothing about them being cold and wanting clothing. The text assumes that one who is naked will want clothing. The only people who were willingly publicly naked in the NT were demon-possessed or trying to avoid capture.

                          • But if they are in prison then the aren't publicly naked - the very thing you are against.

                              Could you at least try to be consistent within 5 posts? First prison is what matters. Then being cold matters. Then you castigate me for mentioning prison - while ignoring the difference between "and" and "or".
