DEFENDING GENESIS - In Six Days


DEFENDING GENESIS

In Six Days
The Biblical Case for a Six-Day Creation

“Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.” - Exodus 20:8-11

The very basis of our 6-day work week is the 4th Commandment, which in turn finds its
basis in a literal 6-day Creation. The word “day” in this passage and in Genesis 1-2 is the Hebrew word yom. Yom is used in its two literal senses [as a 24 hour day and as the light portion of the light/dark cycle] in Genesis. Every time the word yom appears elsewhere in the Old Testament coupled with the words “morning” or “evening” or is specified with a number like first, second or third, it signifies a literal day. It doesn't make sense, nor is it consistent, to say that yom is a literal day when used this way, except in Genesis!One also has to account for the genealogies in Genesis, which begin at Creation. The time frames given in these genealogies are measured from event to event; therefore, there is no possibility of a gap in the record. If we add up all of the years given, allowing an entire year for partial years and gestation periods, the total earth years from the Creation of Adam to the birth of Abraham is no more than 1,985 years. "It is apparent that the most straightforward understanding of Genesis, without regard to the hermeneutical considerations suggested by science, is that God created the heavens and the earth in six solar days, that man was created on the sixth day, and that death and
chaos entered the world after the fall of Adam and Eve, and that all fossils were the result of the catastrophic deluge that spared only Noah’s family and the animals therewith." [Pun, P.P.T., Journal of the American Scientific Affiliation 39:14, 1987; emphasis added.] The Bible claims to give an account of history from the very beginning [Gen 1:1]. Christ Himself affirmed that God made Adam & Eve “from the beginning.” [Mark 10:6] We ought to judge the opinions and conclusions of fallible, finite men by the revealed, inerrant Word of an infinite, infallible God – not the other way 'round! We can take Him at His Word.

Be Still for the Presence of the Lord


Be still for the presence of the Lord,
The Holy One is here.
Come bow before him now
With reverence and fear.
In him no sin is found,
We stand on holy ground.
Be still for the presence of the Lord,
The Holy One is here.

Be still for the glory of the Lord
Is shining all around.
He burns with holy fire,
With splendor he is crowned.
How awesome is the sight —
Our radiant King of light!
Be still for the glory of the Lord
Is shining all around.

Be still for the power of the Lord
Is moving in this place.
He comes to cleanse and heal,
To minister his grace.
No work too hard for him —
In faith, receive from him.
Be still for the power of the Lord
Is moving in this place.

Nudity & Christianity - A Great Book


Here is a book that I highly recommend to all Christian Naturists. Below is the description from the Amazon.Com site that I purchased it from. You can order it at Amazon for $25.20 and shipping is free. The link to order is here http://amzn.com/1425975089

Product Description from Amazon
Jim C. Cunningham considers his latest 588-page work, Nudity & Christianity, to be his "magnum opus." It represents the fruit of thirty years of research, meditation, discussion and many personal experiences. Though much of the material is new, Jim has included the best of his twenty-three years of naturist publishing. Although all of his previous publications (see naturistlife.com) were highly photographic, this latest is 100% textual, in hopes of reaching those who might be intimidated even by tasteful graphics. The insightful ideas of dozens of authors from various denominations are represented here, from Pope John Paul II to Dietrich Bonhoeffer, C.S. Lewis to Kahlil Gibran and even Mark Twain. The purpose of this book is to encourage readers to probe the reasons for wearing clothes. Today, Western convention tends to assume that "nude is lewd," but it was not always that way. For half the Church's history, catechumens--men, women, boys and girls, were routinely baptized together, nude, by full immersion. Today, we recoil at learning this, but how have cultural attitudes toward the body changed to effect this reaction? Jim asks those hard questions about the body and the meaning of true modesty, and exhorts Christians to lead the way in asserting God's definition of the body, rather than Playboy's. Instead of allowing pornographers to define the body for us, and then create a virtue of modesty to fit that false definition, Christians should assert God's definition as found in Scripture and Church Tradition. When we view the body as Jesus did, our definition of modesty becomes radically different from what is conventionally presumed. Two highly detailed indices (Scriptural and Topical) make this an excellent reference book. Readers are exhorted to live what they learn. Jim proposes attending "Theology of the Body Retreats."

I Can Only Imagine


Beautiful lyrics to the song, "I Can Only Imagine" by MercyMe, a truly uplifting song. When I hear this song, it makes me think of the day of Rapture when we will all be nude before God in his glory!

I Can Only Imagine

I can only imagine what it will be like
When I walk by your side
I can only imagine what my eyes will see
When your face is before me
I can only imagine
I can only imagine

Surrounded by your glory
What will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you Jesus,
Or in awe of you be still?
Will I stand in your presence,
Or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing Halelluja,
Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine
I can only imagine

I can only imagine when that day comes
And I find myself standing in the Son
I can only imagine when all I will do
Is forever, forever worship you
I can only imagine
I can only imagine

Surrounded by your glory,
What will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you Jesus,
Or in awe of you be still?
Will I stand in your presence,
Or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing Halelluja,
Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine, yeah
I can only imagine
I can only imagine, yeah, yeah, yeah

Surrounded by your glory,
What will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you Jesus,
Or in awe of you be still?
Will I stand in your presence,
Or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing Halelluja,
Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine, yeah

I can only imagine, yeah, yeah
I can only imagine, Yeah
I can only imagine
I can only imagine, Ohh yeah
I can only imagine

I can only imagine when all I will do
is forever, forever worship you

JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY!


Many people are under the wrong impression that Christians are people who have grown up in church and "Leave it to Beaver" homes. That is a lie from Satan. Before we became Christians we were educated fools, whoremongers, high school drop-outs, drug dealers, crack heads, theives, liars, atheists, PhDs, blasphemers, lovers of our own selves, adulterers, drunkards, cussers and anything else that is evil. Peter lays it out in I Peter 4:3-4: "For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when WE walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries..."


I get my fair share of e-mail and it never ceases to amuse me when folks basically accuse me of being self-righteous. I quickly tell them that I know what I am without Jesus Christ--a rotten, stinkin' sinner dead in trespasses and sins. I broke practically every commandment. That begs the question: What has changed me and why don't I live like Satan's world anymore? BECAUSE NOW I KNOW JESUS! I'm here to tell you that God is in the clean-up business. He says in Isaiah 1:18: "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."

How does He clean you up? With blood. The blood of Jesus that was shed on Calvary's cross almost 2,000 years ago for your sins. "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

If you are:
sick of living for nothing but yourself,
sick of the folly of chasing education,
sick of feeling empty; and,
sick of trying to depend on yourself,
then what you need to do is REPENT of your sins. Tell Jesus that you realize that you are a sinner and you're sick of living without Him. Tell Jesus that you want Him to be your Lord/Master and your Saviour from sin. Tell Jesus that you believe that He died on the cross for your sins and that He rose from the dead on the third day. Ask Him to save your soul from hell and give you that peace that surpasses all understanding. If you do this in faith, you will become a child of God. Christ Jesus will take you and love you up and transform you into an entirely new person if you let Him. The Bible says "If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away, behold, ALL things are become new."


I am a living testimony to this fact--and I know lots of other people just like me. Jesus saves today and will do so until the end of time! His blood will never lose its power.
Jesus cleaned me up! Without Him, I'd still be DEAD in trespasses and sins. But, glory to God, I'm ALIVE in Jesus Christ. I still sin, but NO WHERE NEAR WHAT I USED TO. I try to avoid sin but when I do sin, I ask for forgiveness in accordance with I John 1:9. God told Christians in His word, "Be ye holy, for I am holy." We are to take His commandment seriously and live the way Christ would.


If you will bow your knee to Jesus, your life will never be the same. When I look at the things of this old wicked world, they turn me off completely. I mean, it is so gross like the vomit and mire mentioned in the Bible. Is my flesh sometimes tempted? Yes, but never to the extent that I want to live like I did without Jesus Christ in my life. No way! Jesus Christ IS my life. Me and Him got a relationship going on. I'm not unique, you can have the same awesome relationship--if you want it.


If you are not saved, your life is meaningless and you have the wrath of God abiding on you, to boot. This is all so needless. Repent of your sins and believe the gospel: Jesus died for your sins, was buried, and rose again the third day--THIS IS THE GOSPEL. Please do not die without Jesus.

A Great Day Off From Work!

Praise the Lord for all the beautiful and wondrous gifts he gives us!


God blesses us and gifts us in so many fantastic and wonderful ways. Yesterday, I was so blessed to be able to enjoy a great day off from work. It was going to be a very hot day here in the city and I decided to take a short trip a few miles north of here to Goshen Pass (see below). Goshen Pass is one of the most beautiful areas in these parts of Virginia or anywhere for that matter.

Early in the morning, I packed myself a picnic, along with my camera, binoculars and of course my Holy Bible. Here in the South, school has already been in session for some days now and discovered that I pretty much has Goshen Pass all to myself. Not a soul around! This place is so beautiful

that one has a hard time deciding where to set up "camp" for the day and I have so many favorite spots here.

During the course of the day, I was able to relax and get a little bit of sun, go swimming nude and go for a few short nude hikes as well. The waters of the Maury River was crystal clear and not all that cold. This one one place in particular is wonderful for swimming. It is if God saw that a swimming hole was needed and carved out within the rushing waters of the river is a

"lagoon" like spot where the water is tranquil and deep over my head for good swimming. Nearby, a very short hike away is a beautiful forest of very tall pine trees, so pristine and quiet with a beautiful floor of pine needles and no other growth. It like walking on a soft carpet! And just a short ways from there is a bend in the river with a footbridge to take you to other wonderful trails. Nude hiking at its finest!

The whole entire day was magnificent and I can only wonder if God is providing me with a

"preview" of his heavenly Kingdom for Goshen Pass is one of those few places that to me is as close to heaven on earth than a man can experience.



Thank you Lord for giving me so many beautiful spots!

Praise Jesus!

Cleanse Me From My Sin (PSALM 51:2-52)


PSALM 51:2-52

Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.

Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. (KJV)

Creation Photography #8


I read the Holy Bible (KJV) everyday. My faith is based on the words of the Holy Bible. I live my life by every word in the Holy Bible. Though God’s words of the Holy Bible I have been saved and reborn into a new life with Jesus Christ as my Savior, my Lord and my King of Kings.


I am a Creationist and solidly believe that God is my Creator and created everything around me, above me and below me; Everything!


I love photography and using my photographs to praise the Lord’s creation is a joyful pleasure for me. Most of these photos were taken nearby my home here in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.


I would love to share with you my photographs and graphics which serve to honor my Creator. (Click on the graphic and a full resolution graphic will appear).

God has blessed me with a whole new approach to life!


Saved by Jesus!


I can not describe the personal joy and contentment that fills my life today after having been saved by Jesus; it is non stop and around the clock 24/7!

I truly feel like a new man with a new lease on life. I see the world, God’s World differently now. God has blessed me with a whole new approach to life. It is a wonderful calm feeling I live by now with more patience and understanding to whatever issues should come my way.

I promise you, that once you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior you will also have a new lease on life and things will change for you in amazing ways. Remember we are all sinners and Jesus gives you through his death and resurrection a chance to be saved and to life a fresh new life in his glory.

Everyday, Pray to Jesus!

"Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."


I love reading scripture and I love prayer. Every morning and every evening I will kneel down and pray to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In the morning, I give thanks to God for keeping me on Earth one more day and I pray to live my day as best as I can in the most Christian way that I can. I pray for wisdom and common sense, strength to handle whatever problems may come my way, patience and compassion.


In the evening, I give thanks to Jesus, for getting me through the day. This is a time I may also reflect on my sins of the day and for those parts of the day I did not live up to my own expectations as a strong Christian man; I pray to the Lord to forgive my sins and transgressions. Also, at this time, I offer the Lord my soul if he should decide to take me into his Kingdom; In death I will rejoice and praise the Lord, for I will be in his Kingdom of Heaven!


During my daily activities, I take every opportunity to pray. All those moments of the day when we wait in lines, or while we are driving from here to there or just those times when we take a break from hard work; those are prayerful times! The next time you are at a red light, or eating lunch alone or performing some task on the job take time to pray in your own special way and you will discover how hum-drum boredom can be turned into good feelings in your heart.


I also want to pray for you. Whether your problem is financial, job stress, unemployment, addiction, poor health or sexual issues I will pray for you. Complete one of the forms on this page and that will deliver to me your message. In turn, I will read every message I receive and sincerely keep you in my daily prayers.
Everyday, Pray to Jesus!
Schedule your time to pray and make it your number one priority. The Lord comes first in our lives above everything else. We all have busy and hectic lives but do not let that be an excuse to not fit prayer into your lives.
Prayer Opportunities
Take advantage of those moments we all hate; Waiting at the doctors office, Being stuck in traffic or waiting in line at the grocery store. Rather than let your blood pressure rise with anger, let Jesus make these moments Godly for you and feel the calm and peace he can deliver to you.
Take a “Prayer Escape”
No matter how good or how bad your day is going, take an a small journey into prayer! Pick up your Holy Bible and go to one of your favorite nearby places out of doors or maybe a special place in your home. Escape in prayer and scripture to the Lord. I often go down to this peaceful place by the river here in the city. Oh Praise Jesus for the peaceful and spiritual nourishment this provides for me.
“A shot in the arm”
PrayerWe all have days where we feel blue or may be struggling with some of life’s problems. It is at our worse times that prayer can give us a big boost in our day. I promise you that if you open the bible or talk to the Lord, you will soon sense a lift of your spirits. The Lord is always with us and during those rough times he is there for you. Pray to him!
Thankful Prayer
Before I enjoy any meal, even at a fast food restaurant I will always take the time to offer my gratitude and thanks to the Lord. He has given me the means to care for myself and to provide for myself. This is also a time for me to offer my prayers to those who are less fortunate. Never, ever can we forget those who are struggling in life. There are many other moments where we can offer thanks to the Lord as well. Think about all the times during a day he has blessed you;Those are the times to offer him thanks. I may have gone through a difficult situation at work and it sure does feel right when I take even only a few seconds to speak to the Lord in gratitude.
Pray against Satan
Jesus Christ was tempted by the Devil throughout his ministry. The Bible says: “For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.” (Hebrews 4:15 KJV). Prayer is our most powerful weapon to fight the evil of Satan. As much as God is with us always, Satan’s evil spirit is there to fight against our Lord and our devotion to him. Prayer will help us achieve purity for the power of prayer is far greater than any lustful desire or unclean sex act could achieve. Lust may not always be sexual as we lust for other sinful endeavors that only do harm to ourselves and compromise our relationship with God. Deep, sincere prayer will eradicate any temptation Satan may present to us. We are all sinners and we can never let our guard down against the evil of Satan.
Carry the word of God with you!
I have my one personal Bible that I keep at home for all of my home scripture reading. But I also have other Bibles so that I may have the word of God with me at all times. I keep a Bible with me at work and also have one stored in the glove compartment of my car and I have a small pocket version that I keep in my back pocket (when I am nude, I just carry the Word of God in my hands!). If your Bible is with you everywhere you go, you then have the word of God with you. Never will you miss an opportunity to offer praise and worship to the Lord.

Just a Closer Walk with Thee

Did I tell you I LOVE JESUS! ?



I love good old fashion Christian Music. I won't dwell into it much here, but I have very serious and grave reservations in regard to the Christian Rock, Hip Hop and Rap I hear today. It all sounds a bit too Satanic to me.

One of my old time favorites is the hymn, Take a Closer Walk with Thee. Beautiful simple lyrics where so much is said in so few words. I never tire of listening to this hymn and often sing it to myself. Each time I hear it, it moves me so much as a Christian. At my Dad's funeral last year, I invited everyone to join me in singing this great son. It was one of his favorites. It gives me such great comfort that he is with the Lord in his Kingdom. He passed at 93, and witnessed his Salvation to me at 92.

Here are the Lyrics to this beautiful hymn.

I am weak, but Thou art strong;
Jesus, keep me from all wrong;
I’ll be satisfied as long
As I walk, let me walk close to Thee.
Refrain:
Just a closer walk with Thee,
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea,
Daily walking close to Thee,
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.
Through this world of toil and snares,
If I falter, Lord, who cares?
Who with me my burden shares?
None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee.
When my feeble life is o’er,
Time for me will be no more;
Guide me gently, safely o’er
To Thy kingdom shore, to Thy shore.

Hospitality


"And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. Use hospitality one to another without grudging. As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God." -Peter 4:8-10 (KJV)


Whether we have the spiritual gift of hospitality or not, it can be a part of our way of life. None of us deny that it’s easier to share hospitality with family and friends than with the stranger on the street. But the New Testament teaches us that Christianity is the religion of open hands, open hearts, and open doors. When we open our hearts as well as our homes, we’re practicing Christian hospitality.


The Book of 1 John makes it plain that when we love others, we are showing our love for God. He loves us completely and unconditionally. Equally, when we love and serve others in the community through hospitality, we are also serving God.


While the art of hospitality may come easy for some, it may be quite difficult for others. After all, it’s not always easy to give of yourself, much less your hard-earned gains. And like most things in life, hospitality isn’t done perfectly the first time. But don’t stop trying. When we do it over and over, it truly becomes a comfortable part of our nature. It’s all in perspective.


Many people choose to focus on what they don’t have instead of focusing on sharing the blessings of God. So give it a try. Somewhere along the way, you’ll realize that people are not in your home for the unlimited entertaining budget. Rather, they sense lovingkindness and genuine concern. That’s the moment when your home becomes a sanctuary for those God sends your way.


Just think: If Christians would practice true hospitality, we could play a significant part in changing our corner of the world. After all, we are living miracles and have so much to share.


The bottom line is that God can use people like you and me to touch lives. It doesn’t matter if we rent or own a house or an apartment; our homes are an extension of ourselves. When we practice hospitality, we have the opportunity to touch lives in an intimate, personal way. Be bold: God has not only given you the roof over your head, but also will give you the love and wisdom needed to open your home to others.


With a little planning and preparation – and a good measure of prayer – you can be prepared to share your home with friends, neighbors, and even the strangers God may send your way.

Solitude


I love spending time with my friends, acquaintances and relatives. I am so blessed to have so many wonderful people in my life. But there are times when nothing for me works better than being alone with my best friend, Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior.

Daily, without fail, I do spend that special time with the Lord every evening before I retire for a night's sleep and upon awakening with each new morning God has blessed me with. No matter how good or bad my day was or what kind of day I have in store for me, my very special time with Jesus nourishes my spirit and gives me tremendous peace of mind.

However, there are those moments, on any given day, that I will take more time out to be with the Lord for certain personal reasons. I may need to work out some type of problem going on in my life or I may need to reflect on my sins and transgressions and there are other times for no special reason that I just seek the company of my Savior.

So often, for these reflective moments in my life, there is no better place to be than out in nature; God's World. I may find myself at the top of a mountain with the whole world below me and all around me, or beside a beautiful waterfall, maybe in a meadow or alone deep into the woods with the sound of HIS creatures around me. There is nothing that can compare to the feeling of standing naked before God amongst all that he has created. The absolute quite occasionally broken by a echoing bird call gives is profound and it is during moments such as these that I feel so close to Jesus.

Praise the Lord for the Kingdom he has created for me on his Earth!

Please folks, if you are searching for answers write to me (
Baptistvirginia@gmail.com) I will show you how accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior will make changes in your life you never thought possible.

JESUS SAVES!

"But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.

And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed."

-Luke 5:15-16 (KJV)

God is Our Creator.. Size is Not an Issue!



A difficult issue for so many man is the size of their genitalia. For some a large manhood is perceived as being a sign of manliness and so many with a small weenie have issues with self esteem. But if you ponder for a moment in your walk with Jesus, and if you are truly saved by Jesus, than the size of your organ should be of no concern. Remember that God is our Creator! No matter how tall or short we are, fat or thin, old or young, well endowed or not, we are all perfect in God's eyes. Take all your worry and concerns and just turn it over to the Lord as we do with so many issues in our lives. God Love You! Below is the text I posted today in a Men Only Forum at The Naturist-Christians Organization (http://www.naturist-christians.org/), wonderful and remarkable online forum for the Christian Naturist. I will be writing more about this great website in the future. I recommend that if you are a Christian Naturist go there and join now!



One beautiful part of bringing Jesus Christ into my life is how many things that mattered to me or things that I worried about suddenly disappeared. I have been a nudist most of my life! But since my salvation, my naturist lifestyle has taken on a whole new perspective. I used to fret about my body at times and all its imperfections but suddenly I have total self acceptance and a huge weight is off of my shoulders as it is with every other part of my life. I now see my body as a creation of God rather than something to fret about. As far as my male genitalia goes, for whatever his reason, God has blessed me with a short penis and a scrotum of grand proportions. (As the old saying goes, "all potatoes and no meat!" ) But who am I to question how and why God made me? Before being saved, I admit, I worried about the size of my manhood and was too self conscious about it for my own good. However, at this stage of my life I feel blessed for everything God has given me. With salvation, there is no longer feelings of envy toward men with large organs, no more feelings of inadequacy... that is all behind me forever! Praise Jesus! Every morning when I begin a new day my first thoughts are always about how beautiful it is to have Christ in my life as I do. I celebrate this miracle everyday! Jesus has changed my life is so many amazing ways! I feel like the biggest man on earth and it has nothing to do with the small size of my organ but rather my profound love of my Savior, Jesus Christ.

I am a Creationist



One of my great passions and interests is Creationism. First and foremost I believe that my King James Bible is the absolute word of God. I subscribe to every word and statement in this great Holy Book to the letter.


People often will attempt to debate with me on my beliefs and my faith. My Christian Convictions are strong and I will never engage anyone in such a discussion. Facts and figures and science have been tossed into my face by many but these folks need to understand my core value of beliefs is based on my Faith in God and what I read in my Holy Bible.


It is a shame that so many youngsters these days are not presented with any curriculum dealing with Creation Science and Intelligent Design. Now, more than ever it is important that we all try to support Christian education for as we know that Creation Science will never be taught in public schools as it should be.


The purpose of this blog is not only to celebrate my Christian Naturalist lifestyle but here I will also evangelize for the Lord and will also write about other Christian values close to my heart and soul and that includes my strong faith in 6 Day Creationism.


"Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear." - Hebrews 11:3 (KJV)

Creation Photograph #6



I read the Holy Bible (KJV) everyday. My faith is based on the words of the Holy Bible. I live my life by every word in the Holy Bible. Though God’s words of the Holy Bible I have been saved and reborn into a new life with Jesus Christ as my Savior, my Lord and my King of Kings.


I am a Creationist and solidly believe that God is my Creator and created everything around me, above me and below me; Everything!


I love photography and using my photographs to praise the Lord’s creation is a joyful pleasure for me. Most of these photos were taken nearby my home here in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.


I would love to share with you my photographs and graphics which serve to honor my Creator. (Click on the graphic and a full resolution graphic will appear).

Matthew 6:25-34 (King James Version)



25Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

-Matthew 6:25-34 (King James Version)

Psalms chapter 34 (KJV)


[A Psalm of David, when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed.]

I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.

O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.

I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.

This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.

The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.

Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?

Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.

Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.

The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.

The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.

Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.

The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.

Luke 12:22-24 (King James Version)


22And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.


23The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.


24Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?

Christian Nudism is Flourishing


Christian nudism is a flourishing movement which has taken root in recent years. While there have always been nudists who were Christians, there are now many websites, groups, and even locations dedicated to the idea that Christianity is quite compatible with nudism. Of course the Bible has been interpreted through the ages to say what leaders at the time wanted it to say, and sometimes what were considered “Christian” principles were not actually biblical in origin at all. Many Christian nudists now point out that there is no commandment in the Bible that says it is wrong to be nude, in front of others, or otherwise. In fact, some of the mentions of “shame” in association with nudity in the Bible should be taken in cultural context. Nudity was more of a symbol of poverty or humility than immorality (with possible exception for things such as the Israelites-and-golden-calf episode). In fact, the association of immorality with nudity seems to have been made by medieval church leaders, who of course did many other things to supress people’s pusuit of happiness in life. American Christianity seems to have often associated nudity with immorality, with sexual meaning assumed, though this varies by religious sect and even region of the country.


Even the story of the Garden of Eden implies that nudity should be idealized as a part of a state of paradise.


Not many Christians know that there was an unusual Christian sect, the Adamites, that flourished in North Africa through the 4th century AD (with similar, later revivals in Europe) that practiced nudism. Perhaps it is the earliest known western case of nudism as a conscious movement to be nude.


Christian nudism helps the nudism as a whole, to maintain a non-sexual, disciplined, well-principled image. And whatever the future of Christian nudism, it’s sure to add some balance to some beliefs that had become biased with agenda-driven interpretations though the ages.

My Profession of Faith

This blog is about my life as a Christian, a Christian who very much believes that I live my life as a Christian Naturist. God created us in his own image and I see nothing evil, sinful or sexual in a man or woman who lives naked as God created us. I have been a nudist most of my life, but once I was saved by Jesus Christ, suddenly my naturist lifestyle took on a whole new perspective. I suddenly felt wholesome and clean and unashamed. But above everything in my life, first and foremost I am a Christian and it is only fitting that my first entry in my blog is "My Profession of Faith". Below is the text taken from my website, http://www.witness4jesus.com/. Jesus is with me every minute and every second of every day and night.


I believe that the Holy Bible is the infallible and inerrant words of God and that God has preserved His words for us today (Psalm 12:6-7 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. & Psalm 119:160 Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever). It is the absolute final authority for all matters of life (2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: ).

I believe that God exists in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are one God (1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.).

I believe in the deity of Jesus Christ (John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.), His virgin birth (Matthew 1:21-23 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.), His sinless life (2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.), His miracles (John 2:23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.), His death for all the sins of the world (John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.), His bodily resurrection (John 20: 1-14 1The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. 2Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the LORD out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him. 3Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre. 4So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. 5And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in. 6Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie, 7And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself. 8Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed. 9For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead. 10Then the disciples went away again unto their own home. 11But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre, 12And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. 13And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my LORD, and I know not where they have laid him. 14And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. ), His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Acts 1:9, Romans 8:34), and His return which is yet to come. (John 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also).

I believe that a person is saved by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God).

I believe that works and good deeds, either before or after a person is saved, has no bearing on that persons salvation (Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.).

Once a person is saved he or she cannot lose his or her salvation (Romans 8:38-39 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.).

I believe that good works should follow after a person is saved (Romans 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God., Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.).

I believe that every saved person has the Holy Spirit living in him, who seals that person from losing their salvation (1 Corinthians 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? & Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.)

I believe that the local church should be independent (Acts 13:1 Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.; 14:23 And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.; 15:4 And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them.; 18:22 And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up, and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch., Romans 16:1, I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea. 1 Corinthians 1:2 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both their's and our's:; 4:17 For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.; 16:19 The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house., READ: Revelation 2:1 , 8, 12, 18, 3:1, 7, and 14). And the Head of all local independent churches is Jesus Christ (Matthew 18:17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican., Acts 4:9-11 9If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole; 10Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. 11This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.).

I believe in the pre-tribulation rapture, or catching away, of all saved people(1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 13But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18Wherefore comfort one another with these words.). I believe that Jesus will take His own out of this world and then the seven year tribulation period will begin. After the seven year tribulation, Jesus will return to set up His Millennial Kingdom (Romans 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him, READ Revelation 4:1 - 22:21).

I believe that God's Bible is preserved in the English language via the Authorized Version, or King James Version, Bible. I believe that all Modern Bible Versions, including, but not limited to, the NKJV, NIV, ASV, NASB, NLT, TLB, and TNIV, are corrupted by men and contain false teaching. These modern versions weaken and deny fundamental doctrines of the Bible.I believe that the King James Bible and the doctrines contained within should be held up and defended in love and patience (2 Timothy 3:10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,; 2 Peter 1:6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;) that we may convince and win those who may oppose us. (Titus 1:9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.).

We are to educate, not tear down. We are to guide, not ridicule.
