If the first "man and woman" were ashamed of their bodies that they had to cover up and wear cloths?

Question

Why did this information not reach all the people in Africa, islanders, south america and other cultures where women walk around topless without any shame and all the tribes people wear nothing but a sling shot?
Isn't it true that we are actually taught shame for our bodies?--
I mean, that is obvious, if cloths are not necessary, they are not used, when cloths ARE necessary-- to prevent exposure to cold, they are used. When did the western civilizations lose sight of this,? they must have been wearing cloths for a long time for them to think God ordered it directly that they do so.

umm, da chet
the islanders were STILL wearing them recently and some tribes still do .
how shocking it must have been to the white man hundreds of years ago to see women so happy and free and no one apparently noticing they had NO tops on. How ridiculous it must have been to have all those men trying to cover them up, all the people from the tribe: what's with them? white devil.

Answer 1

They weren't ashamed of their bodies: they were ashamed that they had sinned.

There is no Biblical proscription against nakedness.

Control freaks among various faiths have invented proscriptions against public nudity, and people thinking themselves more righteous than God have imposed on their followers a clothes-wearing morality obviously contrary to the natural design.

As you noted, sometimes clothes serve a survival-from-the-weather purpose, but that is not the only use for clothing: attractive garb can help secure a mate.

Additionally, brassieres are useful not only for the sexual presentation of female breasts, but can improve posture. Moreover, for athletic undertakings, support of the breasts is important from the standpoint of energy management.

Similarly, athletically active men have traditionally used some sort of support device for the scrotum and its contents; not covering the penis would have required additional design and manufacturing labor for what was basically a "jock strap."

In the wilderness, there are sanitary reasons for covering the genitals of both sexes: an infection under such circumstances could be debilitating -- or worse.

But, going back to your first question, your premise is flawed: the first "man and woman" were naked and NOT ashamed.

Shame is a mind-control tool ( see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_control ) used to great effect by organized religions. When secular and/or popular governments are infected by religious devotees, their laws so reflect.

From this, and the distribution of organized power, stems cultural obsessions with matters of nudity and sexuality.

Of course, organized religions are themselves satanic creations designed to subvert the order instituted by God, Who intended from the beginning that each person should be subordinate both directly and only to God.

Answer 2

Clothing is a cultural thing which is driven by religion in some areas. I don't think the message of Adam and Eve was about being ashamed, but being sexually aware. The first "lust" rather than respecting the puritan view that sex is only for creation.The shame came from not being able to control the thoughts, so covering up went on the theory..out of site, out of mind.

Answer 3

I cannot account for the other nations, because not all other nations continued to serve the same God that gave Adam and Eve animal skins to wear. There wasn't a calling upon the name of God until the days of Noah, so plenty of people had time to live in other ways apart from or in opposition to God. I would like to know why you spend so much energy trying to refute the creationist story with questions as opposed to answering some creationist questions about evolution and if you are atheist, atheism. If you truly believed you had the real answers, you would be spending more time trying to help those of us who've got it wrong to understand it your way, no?

Answer 4

in accordance to the lads in my life who i'm close adequate to to certainly have this communication, the final consensus is that it is solid to go away a sprint some thing to the mind's eye. maximum of those men (a cousin who's variety of a brother, my terrific chum, my ex-husband, my fiance) are greater possibly to think of that a woman who's dressed stylish is terrific. frequently, they seem to like it while one article of clothing is "attractive" on an identical time as something in all fairness conservative. in case you place on some thing that exhibits a sprint bit cleavage, positioned on nicely-setting up denims with it. in case you place on a short skirt, pair it with a conservative yet nicely-setting up precise. maximum of those men seem to dislike extremes the two way (donning something too revealing or donning some thing that thoroughly covers you up and/or makes you seem "frumpy") If that's a spiritual factor, nonetheless, and the guy you're with prefers which you be in the modesty standards of your society, lifestyle or faith, then he would have a distinctive opinion.

Answer 5

God didn't "order" them to wear clothes. They were "ashamed" or something. I don't know why some of those smaller tribes aren't "ashamed" now because I've seen their goodies all over the discovery channel.

Answer 6

If you have read the bible trough and trough, you would see that God will forgive and let people into Heaven if they have never in their lives heard of God Almighty! So myb these people haven't heard of Him!...
