    Nude art embarrasses me but it's part of the art world. I have no advice.

    I don't have a problem with artists painting or sculpting a nude. Would you have counseled Michelangelo not to sculpt the David?

    Yes, I would have. He didn't have to sculpt him naked. Also, did he even have a likeness of David to actually make his sculpture from?

    The human body was and is a beautiful thing...until Adam fell nudity was not an issue..now it is art to some and porn to others...I would advise they are creating stumbling blocks for weaker believers...sin nature tells us we should be covered and God did not say otherwise..in fact he made them clothes...

    As Quest stated, the human body is a thing of beauty..... This is a sensitive area, however, ... art is NOT pornography. People need to refrain from knee-jerk reactions.

    The old saying, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" has a negative application too.

    Some people are just predisposed to see porn or evil in everything. The problem is within their own soul.
