Steel Mann,

You obviously totally disregards the apostles Paul's teachings to dress modestly? I can just see a teenage youth camp where the 13 year old girls can't wait to strip off and the pure 13 year old boys (obviously related to Henson) not being affected by it.

Runner,

Paul's instructions to dress modestly were not in regard to sexual lust, but he wanted all Christians to fit into the Church. Wealthly people were wearing a lot of expensive unnessary clothing and jewellrey while the poor had nothing fancy to wear. God created Adam & Eve nude. When they sinned it was not God who required them to be clothed but Adam & Eve wanted clothing (To cover their sin). My sin is covered by the blood of Christ. God instructed the prophet Isaiah to walk naked for 2 years. Jesus Christ allows himself to be crucified naked, and most Bible translations suggested the man fleeing naked in the book of Luke was Luke himself. Most early Christians were baptised nude, and many stained glass windows in old European Churches show this.

What is modest in clothing depends on the culture of the people. In some African cultures, young girls going nude is a sign of sexual purity. If Christian missionaries told them they had to dress, this would be insulting and suggesting they are sexually immoral or a prostitute.

Runner,

What are you suggesting by this:

"I can just see a teenage youth camp where the 13 year old girls can't wait to strip off and the pure 13 year old boys (obviously related to Henson) not being affected by it."

Have you seen it? Where? (It's very hard for a male to hide impure thoughts in a nudist environment). I'm not aware of any teenage nudist youth camps. Not in Australia anyway. I've probably never seen more than about 8 children in a nudist venue at the same time, and they would have varied in age from toddlers to teenagers. Children in these environments are well protected, and many parents feel that it is a very safe environment for children to be in. (My club does not require children to be nude and about half of them would wear a swimming costume).

I note a tone of sarcasm in you post and I might suggest that you are the person that has the problem with lust. I doubt you have ever been to a nudist club or nude beach and therefore you are not qualified to make judgements on such matters.
