Anne Rohmer, 21, poses on a doorstep in garters and stockings as the prostitute Rahab, who is mentioned in both New and Old Testaments. "We wanted to represent the Bible in a different way and to interest young people," she told Reuters.

"Anyway, it doesn't say anywhere in the Bible that you are forbidden to show yourself nude."

Jerusalem has sinned greatly and so has become unclean. All who honored her despise her, for they have seen her nakedness; she herself groans and turns away. [Lam 1:8]

This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because you poured out your wealth and exposed your nakedness in your promiscuity with your lovers, and because of all your detestable idols, and because you gave them your children's blood... [Ez 16:36]

When she carried on her prostitution openly and exposed her nakedness, I turned away from her in disgust, just as I had turned away from her sister. [Ez 23:18]

I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see. [Rev 3:18]

I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety... [1 Tim 2:9]

"Seriously... what is the deal with Europeans and nudity?"
Nothing special. Look at Sistine ceiling [and the Last Judgment in the same chapel]. So it started almost 500 yrs ago - and at MUCH higher aesthetical level. The contemporaries have degenerated.

Laurie Dhu has to be in there though.

 

Not bad. However, Lauren Green is my fave.

In fact, there should be a Lauren Green corollary to the Coulter Rule.

,,, isn't that the way for anyone who can't afford Armani clothes?

[peyton randolph]

Look at Sistine ceiling.

Work by a 72-year-old homosexual inspired by his younger male lovers. The same type of inspiration used for male nude frescoes in Vatican bathrooms.

Drives home the point that mixing religion and erotica are nothing new.

Seriously... what is the deal with Europeans and nudity? I've always thought it was Americans who had a problem with nudity. We're probably the most prudish non-muslim country on Earth.

[peyton randolph]

And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. Genesis 2:25

Master of Lucretia (Flemish, active in 1520)
Adam and Eve, ca. 1520

Man.. this makes almost ashamed of my German name.
What depths a religious prostitute will sink to in order to sell his religion and fill his 'church'. Here in America many churches are sponsoring all night "Christian Rave" parties for youth. Can outright toleration and eventual promotion of immorality be far behind.

Those evangelical Christians who ARE concerned about moral compromise and mega church marketing of religion v. sincere evangelism and love as God's methods of filling His House this article should serve as a warning of the 'slippery slope'.

It's the whole get out of the rail car stand in line to take a shower thing.

You might wish to read up on art history: Sistine ceiling was finished by a 37yrs old (1512), Judgment was finished by a 66yrs old (1541). In his 70s he was painting the walls of the Capella Paolina - next door to the Sistine, but completely different. And it was Leonardo who was a homo, while Michelangelo was merely manic-depressive. Besides, with his personal hygiene [his father advised him never to wash] getting younger lovers must have been problematic, to say the least.

[pillbox_girl]

That was painful. But I've poured salt in my eyes, so now it's all comfortably blurry.

Now I've never really had cause to become a good judge of feminine aesthetics (I just need to know what my man likes), but those are some ugly women. I'd forgotten just how ugly they are, (even in pictures where they're trying to look good). Just goes to show: with liberals, the ugliness inside shows right through.

How do any of those liberal gals ever expect to get themselves a man looking like that? And yes, I know, some of them have husbands, but I can guarantee not one of them has an actual man.

A German Protestant youth group has put together a 2006 calendar with 12 staged photos depicting erotic scenes from the Bible, including a bare-breasted Delilah cutting Samson's hair and a nude Eve offering an apple.

Who took the picture of Eve offering an apple??And where did the camera come from???inquiring minds want to know.

[peyton randolph]

I'll defer to your expertise on homosexual artists. However, you may wish to read this.

[kalee]

Make love, not war? :)

[peyton randolph]

but I can guarantee not one of them has an actual man.

Are you saying that Ms. December hasn't had an actual man? :-)

 

[pillbox_girl]

Are you saying that Ms. December hasn't had an actual man? :-)

Are those pictures supposed to demonstrate that "she" has?

I'm still looking. ‡-þ

As an aside, just where do you get these pictures that you can throw them up (and yes, that's what a lot of them resemble) onto the web site on such short notice?

Or maybe I don't want to know.

You have got to be kidding!?

Any idiot who finds such mundane pics of unclothed women from the Bible as "erotic" worthy of spending their money on and hanging on their wall, desperately needs to find a mate.

"And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. Genesis 2:25

That was pre-Fall.

This is the verse represented in your illustration:

Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. [Gen 3:7]

We live in the post-Fall world, not the garden.

Google.com using Image search.

You must be joking. That old saw was debunked years ago.
