DOES THE HOLY SPIRIT INSTRUCT US TO BE CLOTHED IN PUBLIC?


Well, you will certainly get lots of attention with that title, silly as it may be.

If the Spirit or scripture instruct us to be clothed in public why didn't the Spirit or scripture instruct Adam and Eve to be clothed in public in God's most holy presence?
1. They were not in public.

2. They had not yet eaten of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.

obtw, there was nothing inherently evil about the bodies given to Adam and Eve by God. Unlike us, they had nothing to hide in the beginning. Perhaps you will be able to run around in your nudie suit when you get glorified in Heaven, but until then, you will have to practice a little modesty and discretion, jungle boy. :rolleyes:

Exactly, it was them and God. So what if they were nude, but they didn't know what that meant. When they did they hid. Then they knew right and wrong.

Even with their great bodies they fled to be clothed.

Second, hasn't Jesus delivered us from the knowledge of good and evil by His perfect sacrifice according to Romans7:6?

the Bible does not say comprehension of moral choice is forbidden.
God forbade eating of the tree - He did not forbid wisdom, or knowledge, or understanding
God did not create us to be ignorant or to despise knowledge.
God does not call ignorance, lack of wisdom, lack of understanding or lack of discernment "good"


one of Satan's lies speaking to Woman was that God had purposefully created her as a fool and wished to keep her from having wisdom.
whenever you find yourself agreeing with Satan, it should raise a big red flag.
If moral comprehension was not forbidden, why did they flee from God's presence due to guilt of staying unclothed after they chose the moral knowledge?

the scripture connects nakedness to the exposing of one's shame.
before they had sin, they had no reason to be ashamed.
they clothed themselves because they were ashamed - insufficiently ((of course))
however when they confessed their sin and looked to Him, God gave them garments able to cover their shame, through the shedding of blood. innocent blood, poured out for the forgiveness of sin.


substitutionary atonement :)

only God can provide such a covering -- 'can a man give his life a ransom for his soul?'
Bible says they were unclothed before they started to have the forbidden knowledge of good and evil. Bible also says they sought to be clothed after they started to have the forbidden knowledge of good and evil.

It's really good...I highly recommend it. It's all about the two trees in the garden...the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and the tree of life.

Exactly, how did you choose the sin of forbidden knowledge of good and evil? Really, I have no idea what it is that you are trying to get accross.
Bible says...
All humans are born without the knowledge of good and evil (Deut1:39). All are born with faith in Jesus (Mathew 18:6). Growing up they chose it. Jesus delivered us it by His perfect sacrifice.
