You say that the Bible does not command anyone but an officiating priest to wear clothes, and you say that otherwise the Bible does not condemn social nudity. Therefore it is OK for you and your wife to be seen nude by your kids or nude in social settings. You also say that you or your wife being or not being seen in a sexual way is a matter of the mindset of the observer and that an observer with a mind properly aligned with Biblical principles will not be aroused by your nude behavior.
Ok then, if I follow that line of reasoning, neither does the Bible condemn you and your wife being seen enjoying sexual coitus and presumably an observer with a mind properly aligned with Biblical principles will not be aroused by your marital behavior. As long as only you and your wife are involved in the "one flesh" behavior what is the harm? So,what's not to show?
Obviously the presenter of this analogy has carefully chosen his words, but trying to parry this assertion is not the easiest to do impromptu. So, to be ready to give an answer, preferably as short and potent as possible; where are the biggest chinks in the armor of this argument, and how are they best exploited? I suppose it might need be handled differently if the analogy is encountered one on one, or in the presence of others. And assuming that the others are at least moderately Biblically astute, it would be necessary to invoke scripture since the argument is presented based on what the Bible does or does not say.
