WayneH said: I just now returned home from church,as I do every Sunday, and had to jump in on this one. For those who understand what nudism and naturism is about there is no way to offer up a conflict between church goers and social nudity. Once sexual promiscuity is taken out of the equation then all that nudists are doing is enjoying God given joys. Hopefully someone who can wax more eloquent than I may offer a fuller explanation. I'll continue praying and going to church at the same time as remaining a nudist. No conflict at all.
Wayne <>< Amen!

Genesis 2-25: "...and the Man and the Woman were naked, and they were not ashamed."
This was in eden before the serpent and the forbidden fruit and the subsequent punishment.
The only conclusion possible is that God's plan was for his created humans to live nude and that clothes are the work of the devil!

The good Lord sent us into the world without clothing so I don't think He is too concerned one way or the other.Clothing does not make the person; it is what lies within our hearts that really matters!

I have to agree with quite a lot of the people that have posted on here which include Clemsongrr, WayneH, CathyG and Bill S. I too am a Southern Baptist Christian, and everyone knows Sothern Baptist are aginst everything. I was born without clothes on, and agree with what Bill S said when he quoted Genesis 2:25 that clothes have to be the work of the devil. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" /> We have met several Christians while on Orient Beach in the yellow chairs and continue to be friends with them. I also agree that the kind people on Orient Beach are the least judgmental people, and some of the well meaning Baptist friends are very judgmental. However it is all about how you treat people and the personal relationship that you have with Christ that makes the difference.

This was a very interesting topic - thanks for posting, and thanks for all of the members' responses. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> We attend our church weekly and Club Orient annually. We have been very active in church, and wish our vacations could occur more frequently.
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes.

Toronto said: Church going here and loving nude beaches, no conflict. As long as there is respect for each other all is good. Good words and thoughts, Toronto. And shouldn't this apply to all of us? Naturists and 'textiles' alike? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

WayneH said:... BTW, what did a poster mean by 'double entendrè' vis a vis my posting? Guess I don't get out much. Be well, all.
Wayne <>< Hi Wayne, You wrote; WayneH said:Hopefully someone who can wax more eloquent than I may offer a fuller explanation.. I took the comment to be referring to the process involved with removal of body hair, something that is not more prevalent, but certainly more noticeable, at Club O. Leave it to English language to have such diverse meanings associated to the same word.......

Jeff, I know at least one of whom you speak and I was hoping to hear from him. As you know, he has written extensively on the subject. Maybe he just doesn't monitor this forum anymore. That's our loss. It was he who took the picture in my profile!

vetteguy said: Now, I'm not trying to start a theological debate here, but I am wondering how many forum members would consider themselves as a person of faith and use the nude beach at Club Orient? Do you regularly attend church back home? Maybe we should meet Sunday mornings for a nude service on the beach? yes i do, and i am also a "vette" guy. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
