Much has been made about the fact that during her modeling career, Melania Trump posed nude. Obviously, that conduct is not conducive to representing our nation and all of us, as First Lady. I don't condone it, but my own struggle with sinfulness overshadows anything she and others may have done in life.Sometimes I feel like Apostle Paul where he said, when the bad guys get together, they call me boss. Obviously that's a paraphrase of his actual words, I am chief among sinners. Without Jesus I would be screaming my way to Hell, not rejoicing my way to Heaven.The New Testament tells of Mary Magdalene who lived a life of intentional sin. Some religious people back then had some tough and condeming things to say about her. But after she met the Lord, her life changed. Most of us understand that. It was only after meeting Him that our life changed. I'm never surprised when people who may not know the Lord, do things that are not pleasing to Him. Even worse, I've known the Lord since I was five years old, and I still struggle with the draw of sinfulness. My beloved Dad used to say, If we point a condemning finger at someone else, there are three of them pointing back at us.Did Mary Magdalene pose nude? Some say she may have been a prostitute. If that's true... Even if she did worse than pose, her life changed after meeting the Lord.Has Melania Trump met the Lord? I don't know, but if not, being acutely aware of my own struggles with sinfulness, I won't spend time trashing her. Instead, I'll understand and pray for the time when the Lord changes her life too.Doyl

The issue isn't as much posing nude as it is conservatives showing a double standard when they excuse for some people but not for others, that's all.

Thank you Bonnie for your reply. I've been away for a time focused on some important projects (like making a living). It's good to communbicate with you again and enjoy your input and perspective.Since cameras had not been invented when Mary Magdalene lived, she definetely did not pose clothed or unclothed in front of a camera.However, if what we've been told about her is true, she may have posed nude in person to many different men. Again, I'm never surprised when people who don't know the Lord, do things that are not pleasing to Him. That lack of surprise does not mean I agree with what they do or did.But unless we have reached the time when we no longer struggle with sinfulness ourselves, none of us are worthy enough to focus on the sin of others.He (or she) who is without sin, let him (or her) cast the first stone.Doyl

True, but...

People who are full of the devil, do all kinds of bad things. Doyl

But this thread is specifically about posing nude. Are you channeling aprilmay?Mary Magdalene MAY have posed nude. John Mark MAY have been a streaker.

We had two choices for president of the USA. The candidate had baggage and their mates had baggage. I chose what I thought was the better leader of our country of the two, this lady who posed nude happened to be his wife. They did not allow me the option of deleting her. Of course Mary Mag..... may have done much more, who knows. I don't think devils abide for a resting place but of course I don't know, personally don't care. To quote many, At this point.......... I am still wondering about Trump. But I do believe there is a good heart in his wife. But then I am a liberal conservative, Very conservative in fiscal matters, but maybe not so conservative in physical matters.I have been accused of being two faced, but in my eyes I am not. We all justify our stands in our own mind, or we would not take the stand. Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/

Yep, I said myself that Melania was a saint compared to Bill, and I also pointed out that the spouses weren't running.

This entire thread is drivel and nonsense

Here's the thing. I'm guessing most Americans really are not bothered by the fact that Melania posed nude.It only became an issue when some Super Pac ran an ad about it in Utah, presumably hoping some quite conservative Mormons would find it scandalous enough to vote for Cruz over Trump.But it is interesting that Michelle Obama was criticized for showing just her arms.www.huffingtonpost.com/bonnie-fuller/michelle-obamas-sleevegat b 171172.html
