If someone ordered me not to eat a certain fruit and than I am cought in the act doing it; my first reaction would be to wipe my lips and cover my mouth! When Adam and Eve were caught in the act by God, eating fruit they were instructed not to eat; they DID NOT WIPE THEIR LIPS AND COVERED THEIR MOUTH! they covered a different part of ther Anatomy! WHY?

Because for the first time they knew they were naked. the fruit was one to make you wise as gods. The sin in the garden was sex.

There is nothing essentially sinful about nudity (Genesis 2:25). Adam and Eve did not realize they were naked after the Fall (Genesis 3:7-11). Before the Fall, they were naked, and it was good (Genesis 1:31). Sin is what caused nakedness to become a problem. Sin introduced lust, immorality, and perversion into the human race. As a result, we can no longer look at a nude person of the opposite sex in a pure manner. God made clothing for Adam and Eve to resolve this problem (Genesis 3:21). If God approved of nakedness, He would have simply told them that being naked was okay, and they did not need to feel embarrassed or ashamed. The fact that God clothed Adam and Eve indicates that God expects us to be clothed.

The backyard of Eden became no longer in heaven, nowhere does the Bible say that. The backyard became very honestly on earth. Adam and Eve were given duty to take care of the backyard and animals, and to have little ones. because the human relatives grew and better, so ought to the barriers of the backyard, until eventually sometime the total earth should be a paradise, like the backyard. that maintains to be God's plans and it ought to have success. God's promise, and the wish held out to mankind, is residing perpetually on a paradise earth. playstation 37:9-11,29. Rev. 21: a million-4. Ask Jehovah's Witnesses for a bible study.

dont get lost in misinterpreted symbolism
the fruit of knowlege was a symbolic way of speaking it was not a fruit in the real sense

and Adam and Eve themselves were symbolicic figures ,just as the wings on the Angels were not real wings but depicted flight meanng that these guys came from the heavens

the Anunaki created a whole slave race not just one man and a women ,by genetic engineering and cloning,

the Snake in the garden was also a symbolic representation of Enki the good Anunaki who tried to help the slaves to freedom by giving them independence ,that is what eating the fruit was all about ,

but the masters who were in control did not want that ,
they wanted their created people to remain slaves so they made Enki look bad ,

After all they wrote the story.

For the same reason little children learn that nakedness is a bad thing, the fruit gave them the knowlege of good and evil. Before they ate the fruit evil was not active, my best guess was they felt lust for each other or jus felt ashamed to be naked in front of God.

A key part of this is God's question: "Who TOLD you you were naked?" Translation: the devil! Who else could have done this and caused man to be ashamed of what God created, pronounced very good and commanded use of to fill the earth?

Nakedness implies vulnerability. Once man sinned, he became vulnerable to abuse and sin at the hands of others. The need for protection came about because of this. Who knows what else the devil may have told them. Incidentally, what a manipulative creep to tempt them to do something, then condemn and shame them for doing it. Part of their "knowlege of good and evil" likely included some instruction on the part of their usurping abusive new "father" satan.

Because when they ate from that tree, sin fell upon them, and they realized they were naked and were ashamed. That's why they covered their private areas and not their mouths. Wiping there lips would not have done them any good. God knows all, see all, so they could not hide it if they tried.

They had different instincts. Maybe they washed their faces or wiped their mouths, but the Bible never mentioned it because the Bible isn't a biography, just an overview of what God want us to know and hear.

because they knew that god already knew that they had eaten the fruit. so there was no point of covering your mouth.
and they found out that they were naked from the fruit so that is why they suddenly covered their privacies because they realized it suddenly, right after they ate it.

They covered their private parts because they had eaten from the tree of knowledge and instantly knew they were naked and felt shame.
