The Top 10 Naked People in the Bible
The Top 10 Naked People in the Bible
I stumbled upon a new blog (by a Christian) and among the few entries I read was a piece on Halloween vs. Christian objections. The hypocrisy of churches holding a substitute “Harvest Party” with the same pumpkin carving, and bobbing for apples, and getting candy and wearing costumes, etc. was mentioned. Then someone mentioned that quite often such churches impose a rule that the only costumes allowed are Biblical characters.
So my naughty mind started thinking of unexpected costumes. Naked came to mind! I went back to Google who was that older guy who was naked in the Old Testament (Noah, as I found out.).
From this search, I discovered another wonderful find on YouTube. Dr. Bill Creasy ! He has a series of thought provoking YouTubes teaching some of the oddest topics, like Herod and the worms. He's not being disrespectful at all, and he's using the quirky bits to tempt us to deeper Bible study, or to get uninterested people to read that Bible after all. And in that spirit, I present his link here:

I suggest you watch the YouTube, as his explanations are quite fun. But if that YouTube goes away, then his Bible references are below.

Back to my naughty mind:
What to wear to that church “Harvest Party” that substitutes for Halloween, if they impose that rule that only Biblical characters are allowed as costumes. Perfect for the Mom who can't sew! Or for people who don't own a bathrobe, sandals, and a towel held on with a sweatband on your head. Besides, who owns a shepherd's crook these days?
.
Adam and Eve, (If you bring an apple, make sure there are no bites out of it.)
Noah - Genesis 9:21-22 (Bring the tent for more realism. Hey, it's a bit of trouble to set up, but far easier than his Ark and Animals phase.)
Joseph - at age 17 Gen 39:6-7, 12
David - 2 Samuel 6:14, 20
Bathsheba - 2 Samuel 11:2 (Great for couples. She can even reuse that old bathtub/shower costume from last year. For David, the voyeur, bring binoculars.)
Isaiah 20:1-5 - Isaiah himself, or add a crown and go as Sargon king of Assyria, or for a great frat party, a whole group of “Egyptian captives and Cushite exiles”
Paul - 2 Cor 11:27
John 8:3-4 - all the women caught in adultery (That should improve the frat party !)
Mark - 14:51-52
Jesus - John 19:23-24 (Maybe you ought to just skip this one for the party.)
