Naked Christians?

And YAHWEH said, Just as My servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot three years as a sign and a wonder on Egypt and on Ethiopia.

(Isaiah 20:3)

One would think a Christian, by definition, is one who believes Jesus is the Christ and follows his teachings. That definition has been adulterated in much of the world - especially the USA. In fact most dictionaries now include, under the term Christian, the adherence to any religion professing “Christianity”. This in turn has led to so many “versions” that the word Christian has lost the ability to convey any real meaning.

YHWH, as our Father, as Jesus himself said, is above all else, so I refer to myself as a child of YHWH. I believe Jesus is YHWH’s anointed and as such follow his teachings; and, since children are born naked I guess another way to say it is that I am a naked Christian:

And he said, I came naked out of my mother's womb, and naked I shall return there. YAHWEH gave, and YAHWEH has taken away. Blessed be the name of YAHWEH.

(Job 1:21)

 I posit that what the world needs is more naked Christians - Christians who stick to the naked Truth and who do not clothe themselves in the doctrines or dogmas of man, religion or “church”, or hypocrisy; nor do they wear any masks.

A naked Christian believes Jesus, as the Christ, is the anointed one of YHWH. YHWH is the self-existent Creator of man and YHWH alone is the Supreme God. If you do not believe YHWH exists and created mankind you may call yourself a Christian but your clothing betrays you - you are not a child of YHWH. (Genesis 1:26, Deuteronomy 6:4, etc.)

A naked Christian believes sex is a blessing from YHWH - when practiced as YHWH intended. Any other form, such as adultery, homosexuality, bestiality, etc., is a sin against YHWH. If you practice any of these sexual aberrations, or accept them, or tolerate them, you may call yourself a Christian but your clothing betrays you - you are not a child of YHWH. (Exodus 20:14, Leviticus 18:22, 20:10, 20:13, etc.)

A naked Christian believes murder is a sin against YHWH. This includes taking the life of an unborn child. If you practice, accept, or tolerate abortion, you may call yourself a Christian but your clothing betrays you - you are not a child of YHWH. (Exodus 21:22/23, Didache 2:2, etc.)

A naked Christian believes YHWH gave His children His Sabbaths to be as a sign they were His people. If you ignore His Sabbaths, e.g. follow none or those appointed by man instead (e.g. Sunday) you may call yourself a Christian but your clothing betrays you - you are not a child of YHWH. (Exodus 20:8, Ezekiel 20:12, 20:20, etc.)

The list for what a naked Christian believes could go on but I hope the point is obvious. Those who claim to be Christian but practice behaviors which YHWH condemns are clothing themselves, just as Adam and Eve did, to hide their sin. (Genesis 3:7)

Most of mankind has always been caught up in the latest fashion wear; but, having wolves in sheep’s clothing has never gone out of style for Satan - it works too well. Sadly many sheep have been led astray by inattention as much as they have by intention; and, the damage done is the same. It never ceased to amaze me when the fad among Christians was to ask WWJD (what would Jesus do): it amazed me because most of the time their answer would be based on something Paul taught instead of what Jesus taught - which is not the same thing.

Most Christians do not have the courage to go naked as a child of YHWH. The world can be a cold and even cruel place without social clothing. Naked Christians tend to make others uncomfortable - especially Christians shielding themselves with the clothing of society. We are warned:

An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous, and the upright of way are an abomination to the wicked (Proverbs 29:27).

When it comes to my mortal life I believe in the old American adage that says, “I would rather be judged by twelve than carried by six”. This basically means I would rather explain my actions to a jury than be carried by 6 pallbearers after being killed for taking no action. When it comes to my soul I would rather be persecuted by all mankind than be condemned by the only judge that matters:

Many seek the face of the ruler, but the judgment of each man is from YAHWEH.

(Proverbs 29:26)

          I am naked and unafraid.

 

 

          Abundantia: Goddess of good fortune. A symblo for her is the cornucopia ("horn of plenty") with which she distributes grain and money.

          Epona: Only Celtic Goddess to be honored by the Romans with a temple in their capital city. She was the goddess of good health and her symbol is also the cornucopia.

          Moneta: Name given to Juno, the goddess in whose temple the ancient Romans produced money. She was the goddess of prosperity and her symbol is also the cornucopia.

          Many scholars believe the cornucopia suggests it is symbolizes  goddess of fertility as well.

          Allah: The name is derived from 'al-ilah', which literally means "the god". The Prophet Muhammad declared Allah the one and only god (of the Islam) in the 7th century CE. In pre-Islamic times, Allah was the supreme creator-god of the Arabs. The goddesses Allat, Manat, and al-Uzza were considered to be his daughters.
