After our first parents had sinned, if God had changed His mind about the goodness of the human body, which embodied His own image, He would not have chosen it to be the temple for His Holy Spirit.

What can free our society from a porno-prudish view of the body is what has already liberated most health-care workers: a frank, natural, non-sexual display of the divine glory and creative goodness in the unclad temple of God's image.

If academic pushers of evolutionary theory can't offer a single example from the real world that illustrates how Nature's elaborate complexity could have arisen by chance from simplicity, while 'intelligent design' scientists can show millions of illustrations that point to a Mind behind the enormous sophistication of anatomical structures and physiological processes actually involved in biological life, then it's obvious which group has religiously bowed its knee to Superstition.

Serious thought about God's first question to fallen humanity ('Where are you?') might lead a person to become a Christian. Serious thought about His second question ('Who said you were naked?') might lead a person to become a nudist.

God's personal adoption of human flesh in Jesus Christ not only defies our culture's shameful, obscene, and lustful imaginations about the body, but also silences the deceptive rumors Satan started in Eden that not all our body parts are 'very good,' as God originally said they were.

Those in whom the Spirit comes to live are God's new Temple. They are, individually and corporately, places where heaven and earth meet.
