QUOTES
"Care not for what you shall eat, or drink, or what you shall wear.
For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing." - Jesus

What spirit is so empty and blind, that it cannot grasp the fact that the human foot is more noble than the shoe and the human skin more beautiful than the garment with which it is clothed? Michelangelo

My parents told me "wear clothes". They also said, "Santa Claus comes down the chimney"

UNKNOWN

Quoting from Genesis, "They were nude but they were not ashamed." Furthermore, because God created it, "The human body can remain nude and uncovered and preserve its splendor and its beauty."
- Pope John Paul II

Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord"
- (Job, 1:21).

"It's definitely cultural. I think we ought to be more like the French in most everything, and the Germans as well. We're way too uptight here; it's a beautiful thing over there."
(Rush Limbaugh, on nude beaches)

"Complete nudity in itself is not erotic. It becomes so only when preceeded by or contrasted to a state of dress. In this limited context then, all clothes become somewhat immoral, if we define immorality as inciting sexual interest. Habitual nakedness may indeed be capable of elevating man to a higher mental plane..."
(Dr. Marylnn J. Horn, "The Second Skin: An Interdisciplanary Study of Clothing"

"We need to be protected from theft and violence, not nude people."
(Richard Hongisto, San Francisco Supervisor)

"Christian morality did not originally preclude nudity, but by the Fifth Century the anti-body philosophy adopted by the church fathers was so entrenched that St. Jerome considered it immoral for a Christian virgin to bathe in the nude--even if alone."
(Ray Bowen Ward, Professor at Miami University)

"Some day people will grow up and realize that the only thing vile about human bodies is the small minds some people have developed within them."
- Dick Hein

"What a singular fact for an angel visitant to this earth to carry back in his note-book, that men were forbidden to expose their bodies under the severest penalties!"
- Henry David Thoreau, Journals

BECOMING A NUDIST IS A GOOD THING
HOWEVER, IT DOESN'T COUNT FOR
MUCH IF YOU CAN NOT ANSWER
IT FOLLOWING QUESTION

IF YOU DIED RIGHT NOW,
DO YOU KNOW FOR SURE THAT YOU WOULD GO TO HEAVEN?

YOU MUST REALIZE

1. YOU ARE A SINNER

Romans 3:10 "As it is written there is none rightious no not one

Romans 3:23 "FOR ALL HAVE SINNED and come short of the glory of God"

All of us have broken GOD's Law one time or another and because of it we are all sinners

DO YOU REALIZE YOU ARE A SINNER?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. THERE IS A PRICE ON SIN

The price on sin is death, Death means separation.

PHYSICAL DEATH

Romans 5:12 " Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world,
and death by sin; and so DEATH PASSED UPON ALL MEN, for that all
have sinned."

Physical death is separation of the soul and the spirit from the body.

SPIRTUAL DEATH

Romans 6:23 " For the WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH;
but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

This means if you died and recieved the WAGES of your
SIN you would have to spend ETERNITY SEPARATED from God in HELL.

Do you realize that if you died right now and recieved the wages
for your sin you would have to spend eternity separated from
God in Hell, according to the Bible?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. JESUS PAID THE PRICE FOR YOUR SIN

Romans 5:8 " But God commendeth his love toward us,
in that, while we were yet sinners, CHRIST DIED FOR US."

God loves you very much,and He doesn't want you to go to Hell,
In fact, He sent His Son Jesus to die on the cross to bear your sins upon
His Body. He died, was buried, and rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.

Do you realize that Jesus paid the price for your sins on the cross according to the Bible?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. HEAVEN IS A GIFT WANTS TO GIVE YOU

Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death; but the
GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE through Jesus Christ our Lord."

When Jesus died upon the cross He bought with his blood the gift of
eternal life for you. If Heaven could be earned by our good works
of Jesus would have waisted His tome dying on the cross.

Do you realize that heaven is a gift and not something
we can work for, according to the Bible?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. YOU MUST PERSONALLY RECIEVE
JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOR

Romans 10:13 "For WHOSOEVER SHALL CALL UPON THE NAME
OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED"

If a person, realizing that they deserve Hell as a payment of their sin and that
Jesus died for them, were to call upon Him for forgiveness and eternal life
He would save them. To be Saved is of course to be saved from eternal death in Hell.

Do you realize that if You called upon Jesus and asked for forgiveness and eternal life
He would give it to you according to the Bible?

If you realize these five things why don't you just bow your head right now
and sincerely ask Jesus to forgive you and save your soul.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IF YOU REALLY WANT TO BE SAVED RIGHT NOW
ALL YOU GOT TO DO IS BOW YOUR HEAD AND SAY THIS PRAYER.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DEAR JESUS
PLEASE FORGIVE ME OF ALL MY SINS.
COME INTO MY HEART AND SAVE ME.
I AM NOW TRUSTING YOU FOR ETERNAL LIFE.
"AMEN"
