She is a singer and TV personality gaining some fame for appearing on MTV in the reality series The Hills. I have never seen it. I've never watched MTV either for what that's worth.
Montag claims to be a Christian. Recently she was asked if posting nude conflicted with her Christian beliefs.
Here's her reply -
“I’m more of a modern Mother Teresa. I would take things with moderation. I think God created the body. I think we’re born naked. We die naked. I don’t think it’s something to be ashamed of. I think the body is a beautiful piece of artwork that God created. I have nothing to be ashamed of.”
Now, I have seen Mother Teresa (not naked thank goodness) and Heidi Montag is NOT a Mother Teresa modern or otherwise.
I wonder what service Montag has offered to the desolate in remote parts of the world, those who are NOT online, mind you.
So, what about posing nude and being a Christian?
Montag almost was able to quote Job - Job 1:21 - "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart."
The questions is not whether posing nude is wrong or not, but is it right? How would Jesus be glorified by the action?
Colossians 3:17 applies - "And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him."
