RE:I'm trying to convince my wife nudity is not a sin

I agree with you! Sin is in the mind, that's why I think it's important to naturalize nudity and learn to see it without prejudice! See how beautiful, even in front of other naked women, you manage to desire only your woman! This is incredible!
I believe that talking straight you can convince her! I am also married and my wife just likes to be naked at home with me and our son, but she doesn't mind being naked with her female relatives.

I agree. I have the same problem with my wife as well. My wife stopped being nude with me completly so I am nude at home mostly as NY shut most nudist places down. My wife does not stop me from being nude just wont join me and will not go to a resort, because she believes it is mostly young nufosts there have tried many times to tell hete most nudist I have see have been 50+. I am 56 wife is 70.

RE: Interpretation of Leviticus 18

The expression "uncover the nakedness of" in these verses refers to sexual intercourse, not simply seeing the other person naked.

Adam and Eve were nudists BEFORE the deception by the serpent...Christian Nudists are merely worshiping as they did before that temptation...how is getting back to the heart of our connection to GOD a sin?

Curious why an atheist would even bother glancing inside this area of True Nudists, much less waste time sharing their opinion in a space devoted to those people who adhere to nudism and a life of faith.

A more healthy activity would be to begin an Atheist group and have fun in there instead of wasting time cursing the beliefs of others. It's a big world and there's enough space in it for all faiths - or for those who have no faith at all. Thank you for respecting our religious freedom as we respect your dissension.

I feel for you. My wife is 70 and I am 56 and have been trying to convince her since we have neen together (26 yrs) i take it slow and remind her that God created us nude and said it was good. Man only covered himself after sin. God did not say cover yourself man did because they were emberassed of thier sin. To be as God created us shows him honor and glory and appreciation for his creation. There are numerous bible verses to support this. Including in the story of David.

Very nicely laid out and very accurate. I forget where it states that you should follow Gods law and not introduce your own interpretation into it and change or take away from it. The only law is tje 10 commandments and the two Jesus gave us to summerize the 10. The interpretations an addition I feel is man forcing his ideas into Gods law. Remeber man interpreted the bible decades after it was written. Man is not perfect and has prejudices, preconceptions, and such tjat no matter how hard he tries to keep it out, it is still put into everything he does.

Here are some other resources that should help your wife understand.
Nakedandunashamed.org--This is from a Baptist pastor and his wife. These people orginally set out to PROVE nudity was a sin, and what they found made them Christian Naturist activists.
AchingforEden.com--this is mostly written from the woman's point of view.
Mychainsaregone.org--this is about the harmful and incorrect views the church in general as on nudity and how it supports pornagraphy, sexually objectivifying women, and body shame. This is written by several pastors.
https://thebiblicalnaturist.blogspot.com--This is written by a pastor who does an extremely good job at analysing all the biblical passages with a balanced point of view. He doesn't shy away from any question from anyone. He has tackled just about every counter-augument I've ever heard with respect and sound evidence.

I suggest you don't take your wife to another nudist venue until she comes to grip with her own beliefs. Forcing her to do something she thinks is sinful is a huge mistake (and unbiblical) and is harmful to her walk with Christ, and could be harmful to your marriage. I even suggest you apologize for doing that to her. Not that taking her to a nudist resort was mistake (it wasn't); but forcing her to violate her conscience was the mistake.
This is hope. My wife and I have been having similar discussion for several years. We have now been to three different nudist resorts and we have both enjoyed them. We are naked around the house often, and in swiming pools, lakes, and hot springs when possible. We have both been naked in front of my parents (they are of similar thought now), because attempting to cover up with seven people in one hotel room on a three week road trip isn't practical or necessary. Consider when we were first married, she wasn't comfortable standing outside in the middle of a nowhere forest without a shirt on (only wearing bra and pants). The only person that could see her was me.

Thank you for this deep dive into resources for understanding & explaining why nudism is healthy for almost anyone through biblical methods. I plan to spend a bunch of time taking a look at these websites for when I am confronted by someone who doesn't 'get it'. Those people don't bother me much, but like having tools in your toolbox when assailed by some fool who thinks they are superior to others because of the color of their skin, it is helpful to have references to gently explain how wrong they are.
