If Adam and Eve can walk around naked Why don't we?

Question

Just Joking< Ha Ha lol

Answer 1

Ask Adam and Eve!! Why they eat the fruits of knowledge?

Answer 2

Joking aside, this is a valid and interesting question.

If you follow the Judeo-Christian tradition, the Book of Genesis story of Adam and Eve never mentions anything specifically negative about being naked. According to the story, God created Adam and Eve naked (which suggests that He saw nakedness as good, innocent and natural for both Man and Woman) and allowed them to enjoy the Garden of Eden (Paradise) in their naked state.

After falling to the temptation of the Devil (as personified by the snake), the story recounts that Adam and Eve became aware of their nakedness and were therefore ashamed. It is never mentioned that God punished them for their nakedness, nor did He order them to cover themselves. His punishment was to drive them from the Garden of Eden and force them and their ofspring (us) to live earthly lives of suffering, sickness and ultimately death. At no time was there any mention of nakedness itself being sinful.

Since it was God who created Adam and Eve in a state of permanent bliss, and he put them into that state naked (as His creation), I can't imagine that He would create anything (nakedness) that He would then decide was sinful.

My point is that simple nakedness is neither sinful nor obscene nor immodest nor anything else negative that some people may apply to it. Lust and lewdness may be considered sinful and/or immoral, depending upon your beliefs, but I can't see any logic to applying that same designation to nudity.

Concerning the argument that it is the nudity that ultimately leads to lust and is therefore sinful as an "occasion of sin", my only response is that, for many people, simple nudity absolutely does not lead to lust and/or immorality. Many people have learned to separate nudity, even in the presence of others, from sexuality, and we can enjoy the former without taking things into a sexual context.

Again, thanks for asking an interesting and important question.

Answer 3

Genesis 2:25 states: "And both of them continued to be naked, the man and his wife, and yet they did not become ashamed."

Their feelings toward nakedness were the same as little babies feel - they didnt feel ashamed. You could if you and the others around you didnt either :-)

Answer 4

They used a fig-leaf garment; God covered their nakedness with an animal skin. And women have been takin' it off ever since.
