They could have donned some shorts and just dangled their feet in the water, after all it was just the two of them.
Yet, Jesus shows up clothed to foot. It is so remarkable that John recorded it. Why?
Maybe he realized that it was important enough for God to show up fully clothed even though no one else was going to see it that he noted it as worthy of mentioning.

Um, wasn't Peter nekked when he jumped out of the boat to see Jesus? The Lord didn't rebuke him for being nekked, did He? It's mentioned in the Bible so it has to mean something.

True, but Peter also donned his clothing immediately when he realized that it was Jesus.
Sounds like conviction to me.

Ok. So the moral of the story is it's ok to be nekked, unless in the presence of Jesus?































(Yes, I am giving you a hard time. )

Rico, you don't disturb me and I appreciate the question.
Peter, when he realized that Jesus was present got dressed. He just didn't know He was there.
If Jesus is God Almighty as we believe, then He is also omnipresent. With that in mind, your question can be answered in the sense that He is already here. We must be properly clothed.
Someone posted that it is stretching scripture and those who do those don't know how to interpret it. Well, this is a personal conviction of mine.
Someone else posted to wear long sleeves to be consistenet. I do. Again, this is personal to me.

Er...there is one slight problem with your logic...if we must be fully clothed in God's presence, and God is omnipresent (e.g., everywhere), then that means we must be fully clothed even in the shower or in the bedroom.

Don't try to be logical! *grin* You'll fry his brain.

If you consider the statement to truly be logical, then perhaps you should consider what would be truly logical for logic dictates that we must get clean which cannot be done to its fullest extent without being lacking in clothing thus the poor excuse of an argument to the contrary loses to logical conlcusions.
Regarding the boudoir: I will not discuss that here since it would be most inappropriate for a christian board.

The Bible says that we honour certain members more than others.
In the shower, well I think you are grasping at straws here in an attempt to be humorous.
I thought it was quite funny.

John 21:6 - 7 (KJV) 6 And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.
7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher’s coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.

In light of this passage what should we wear when we go fishing?

So it's ok to run around in public in the buff until church starts?
