Re: Is There A Difference In?

Additionally, just because you can watch a National Geographic special and see people of the Amazon basin or in Sub-sahara Africa not wear much or next to nothing and not think of them as naked, the fact is, you and I are not dealing with such people in our churches and neighborhoods, nor yet in the media.

When a buttock, a female breast, or external genitalia is viewable to the public, we say they are naked, end of story. Even if the context isn't sexual. My not even two year old son, innocent as Adam before the Fall, when he's in the tub, is naked.

There are not sinful attachments as of yet. But there will come a day when he will become shy and embarrassed and not want anyone to see him in such a condition. It will come about as his conscience develops under his parent's holy tutelage.

When a people have no such tutelage, is it any wonder that in time, perhaps a few generations, they lose the ability to develop their conscience in such an area?

It's what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah. And we all know how that ended, so just because a modern "jungle person", as you are calling them, Sasha, doesn't think of themselves as naked and doesn't think such appearance is sinful, it's not necessarily on account of innocence.

It could just as easily be after so many generations, their collective consciences have been seared with a hot iron, and such iniquity is so embedded into their mindset that they have lost the ability to tell right from wrong, in this area, at least, if in no other area.
