Modesty In Heaven

[jomifl]

So comforting to know that we ascend to heaven fully clothed...but a bummer for nudists.

As a naturist myself, I'd like to point out that my 'heaven' would definitely have no clothes (but a heating system, drawing warm air from 'the other place', would be rather nice though)!

I wonder where the nightie came from? I sort of imagined St Peter would hand them out at the door.

Chris, old doom paintings in churches typically show lots of naked sinners, all heading downwards for a bit of warmth. You'll be okay one way or the other.

The fact that a white gown appears on you as you ascend to heaven is no more ludicrous than the idea that you ascend to heaven in the first place.

[jomifl]

ludwig, surely the fact that 'scientific' photography has confirmed that christian morality (prudishness) is not just resident in the imaginations of believers but is a reality which underpins creation and thus makes disbelief unthinkable gives us all pause for thought? Of course it may simply be that photoshop sales are booming..

[wildwood]

It certainly is. Seeing that the majority of those up there would be elderly.....

[RATTER15]

Im going to hell naked with all those wicked women!!!

[jomifl]

They might be wearing Burkhas ratter ...

[RATTER15]

Oh well, I,m up for a laugh!!

Have to admit that the clothing/dress requirements hadn't so far worried me.
I'm now considering hemlines - long or knee-length? Colours - does it have do be celestial blue because it doesn't suit me? I haven't worn skirts/dresses for years so are smart trousers acceptable? It's a problem I could have done without T.B.H. Has anyone got a copy of the rules to post, please?

Why would a "body" (for want of a better word) in a spiritual realm have any resemblance to a physical body of any known species ? I'm unsure modesty is going to be particularly relevant in such circumstances. Pictures painted of souls are going to be symbolic/representative only.

[DaisyNonna]

jourdain, me neither.

[jomifl]

OG, this is claimed to be 'scientific proof' of a 'soul' rising to heaven'..No painting or trickery involved..

[Old_Geezer]

What I saw in the article was a picture. Probably a photoshop of a lady in a black dress and again in a white shift superimposed over.

Followed further down by a Kirlian photograph of the body when, of course, anything picked up is body shaped.

There is no evidence of a soul rising up to heaven, merely the suggestion that the Kirlian photograph shows the spirit whilst still in a body.

[jomifl]

Youu think so?

[joggerjayne]

Oh, THAT sort of modesty.

I was thinking ...

Me: Wow, you made this all this on your own?

God: Oh, it was nothing really.

[sandyRoe]

It's just that her cerements have got tangled with her limbs. We shall be naked and unashamed in Heaven as Adam and Eve were before they are the apple.

[jomifl]

Steve Jobs was the apple don't know who is nowadays.

[Theland]

Clothed in righteousness maybe?
