Question
QUESTION: Is sleeping naked a sin for a born again Christian?

ANSWER: Hello Meraj,

If you are alone, there is nothing in the Bible that prohibits you from sleeping however you want.  If you are married and with your wife, you both can sleep naked if you wish.

Heb 13:4  Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.


You should not be sleeping with someone who is not your spouse, whether or not you have clothes on.  

I hope that this helps you.

In Christ

QUESTION: Is it sin to view only non nude pics or solo nude pics? No pornography just this?

Answer
Hello again,

If the pictures are not of your wife, and you are using these pictures to lust after women, whether or not they have clothes on, then it is bad.  If you are simply looking at pictures but not lusting or masturbating, then it may be ok.

Matthew 5:27-28
27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: 28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769.

I hope that this helps you.

In Christ
Pastor Don
