Greeting grae;

kjv bible genesis cp;2 verse 22.

also when god said they were naked: naked means without sin not as most think as walking around with no clothes on. god says my ways and my thoughts are higher that the heaven is from the earth than mans thoughts.

this should help...

fear not most of all preachers and teachers think the same...

peace..if you are born again of a truth god will show you the interpretation thereof...

Hi Richard. Genesis 3:7-10 seem to indicate that Adam & Eve knew they were naked & when God called out to them, it was Adam (not God) who said that he was naked. If 'naked' means 'without sin' as you suggest, was Adam actually telling God that he was hiding from Him because he was sinless? This gets confusing.

Chris. You and Richard are speaking from two entirely different state of

Conditions Gen.2 Before the fall sinless no broken fellowship, Genesis 3

After the fall in sin under the enemies dominion. Just an observation.

Thanks Henry for that explanation, however I looked at Genesis 2:25 & Genesis 3:7-10 again and couldn't find where God said that they were naked. I agree with A & E being sinless in chapter 2 but the comment that their nakedness alluded to their sinlessness & had nothing to do with their state of undress, seemed to go beyond the intent of the relevant Scriptures.

Chris. The difference was in their minds between chapter two in fellowship

With God being naked and no fear, and in chapter 3 after the downfall hiding

Themselves being afraid of God. First state total peace, second state in terror

Because of sin conscienceless they knew they did wrong. Last point the bible is God's word and in Genesis 2:25 they were both naked before the fall and this is

God's word giving their state and they were not ashamed still pure in thought.

Thank you Henry and I agree with what you've written. Maybe I've misunderstood Richard's comment & he could clarify it. Thanks for your help.

I guess Adam was aware of his sin and tried to cover it with vegetation but we know that that won't cover sin , as we read about Cains unacceptable offering of vegetation . So when Adam was naked and sinless he had no need to cover his private area , then when he had sinned he felt shame , the shame came from his consciousness of sin ( breaking the law that God had given him ) and he tried to hide his shame with vegetation but blood is needed to cover sin so God killed an animal and provided a covering for Adams sin , this points to Christ , he is the lamb slain from the foundation of the world . I hadn't thought of it the way Richard Cain had put it either so I just followed his post with my own train of thought and that's what occurred to me so I posted it . Christ is our garment that hides our sin from God because God can't look upon sin . Christ is our covering , he is the hen gathering his chicks under his wings to hide/cover our sin from God's eyes . God gave Adam a law and he broke it and was punished for breaking it , we are not under the law we are under Christ's wings , he is covering / hiding our sins from God's eyes . An interesting comment Richard , thankyou for that new take on Adam and sin etc . I hope you don't mind me interjecting .
