I think nakedness is the shame of sin and not the actual sin. Just thinking out loud.
John I can definately see what you have posted, keep thinking aloud
Being "naked" is seen both
before and
after here and its this I desire to reconcile for a better understanding. Are the scriptures clear that Adams nakedness was his sinful nature before he ate from this tree? Then
if that tree was a
type of the
Law we could indeed reconcile why God issued the command
not to eat of the fruit of that tree
because that tree (being the law) would only make one
aware of their nature... Hmmmm I don't know, still thinking on this. The Law itself made them conscious of sin, the tree made them consciious of their nakedness Job calls transgressions equating both nakedness with sin, yet at the same time before anything happened even
before they ate nakedness was present. What a brain teaser lol!
There is a curse issued at this time in its "type" and a curse then which followed after the law. I have alot of peices which I am satisfied in seeing but there are loose strings surrounding the train of thought I'd like to reconcile.
WHO told you that you were naked has come back to me and provoked me to thought once again, I can't tell you how many times it has... The question keeps coming up in my mind over and over as if there is more to understand concerning this.
Whats so bad in knowing the truth about yourself? Your
naked you are right? Someone just
informed you what tells us that we are? I thought it was not "who" but "what" but God asks "who" in connection to the "what".
So God makes them coverings for their nakedness, for naked we come and naked we go, the Lord gives the coverings and Jesus takes them away here.
If I had not spoken to them they would have NOT had sin but now they have "no cloke" for their sin.
That's interesting, if HE had NOT spoken to them they would have not had sin?
Though "coverings" are as a garment but "cloke" is a covering of pretence, I don't believe they are the same here. I definately have some further looking into to do.
John, think aloud more often its helpful
Thanks so much
In Him Kim
