I guess to someone in charge, barefoot was immodest, lol! I force all visitors to my house to be 'immodest', then ... But seriously, I'm not in the habit of letting other people impose their hang-ups on me. Don't like barefeet? Don't visit my house. Don't want to see my manly chest at the river? Don't look. Don't want to see me streaking to the laundry, don't walk in without knocking. And so forth. This last one actually happened with my housemate's fiancée. I reckon one or both of us could have freaked out, but neither of us did. Like so many other things, it's a choice, informed -- but not determined -- by prior conditioning.

It was the most sacred and significant of all in that his conception, birth, life, death, and resurrection make our conception, birth, life, death, and resurrection sacred and significant too. That's an interesting way to look at it.

I can’t wait to show up at church without any shoes, because that would be perfectly modest in that context. Where do you get this stuff from? Not from the church. Not from our culture. Not from the scriptures. Not from anyone here. Just one question, do you find it difficult to type with gloves on? There is modest clothing and then there is what I like to call my Sunday Best. My Sunday Best includes shoes, and a tie. I don't wear my Sunday Best all of the time. And if you would stop jumping to ridiculous conclusions, and just ask me what I mean when I say what I say, sometimes, you could have found out that I don't wear gloves when I type. Why would you think something silly like that?
Popular Post gopher Posted November 27, 2019 Popular Post Posted November 27, 2019 There is a weird double standard. If a woman decides to appear naked in public, people will say "I can see you are enlightened and liberated". If a man appears naked in public, people say instead "I can see you're nuts". 6

I am more familiar with the bosom of Abraham and as a Hen gathers her chicks. As for nursing in public, it is my understanding that laws only recently changed - due to public outcry - to permit nursing in public. As for the sacredness of the body from a religious stand point. Bodies are a Temple, this we learn in the scriptures. Male and Female bodies are then be equally sacred. The scriptures do recognize a difference in an intimate way: Genesis 49:25 25 Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the aAlmighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the bwomb: "Almighty" here is a bad translation of El Shaddai. Although others will disagree with me I believe this name of El has correlation to this scripture. In Hebrew shad is breast, and dai is enough. So El Shaddai is saying He will nurse "thee" with His blessings until we learn to be weaned: Isaiah 66:11 11 That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory. Isaiah 28:9 9 ¶ Whom shall he teach aknowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are bweaned from the cmilk, and drawn from the breasts. It is actually very sacred imagery showing El Shaddai's love for us - like that of a mother for their newborn. It is also He who gently weans us into the adulthood of Christian life - very sacred indeed.

The sacred symbol of birth and new life (baptism) is central. The births of our children were some of the most sacred moments of my life. Edited November 29, 2019 by Bernard Gui 1
