I'm going to pick on one part here. I don't agree entirely but I'm not sure I entirely disagree. But a normal woman breastfeeding and doing so discreetly is far from shameful. If you view it as such I'd suggest praying about it and asking God to give you a proper view of the female body. Breasts were made to feed babies. I get that they're more but and six months ago I'd have agreed with you. But... It attracts far more attention for my son to have his head covered. He thinks he's dying and alerts everyone in ear shot while wrestling the blanket as if his life depends on it. I've also watched men and women both take jabs at my wife while she was showing far less skin than anyone else in the vicinity..... Simply for using her body to nurish a baby... Exactly what God made it for. Society has perverted it and we've basically acted as though the possession of private parts is shameful when in fact it isn't at all. What is shameful is over exposing for self gratification or attention. And breast feeding typically doesn't do that at all.

this is too funny
years back, I read in a woman's magazine, while waiting in the doctor's office, that the woman in the gif who played in I dream of Jeanie, originally had her navel showing with the outfit she wore and it was changed because of outrage at that
so, how appropriate she eats popcorn for this (hack hack cough cough) civil discussion
hope you have enough butter on that. better get the beverages

Well my friend that's a blurred line you painted there. If I may what the scripture has pointed out is that they became self awared, self conscious if you will that opens the door to pride, ego, and such. Self has now entered the thoughts which is what the change is all about.
To say it was a lusting thing Imo is a far reach considering there was no one to compare to and no intamate relations had taken place yet.

I have a young preteen nephew and I would be very upset if we came upon a women with her breasts exposed feeding a baby. Its not necessary,it is possible to be modest and still feed a baby. Not everyone is an adult and understands sexuality vs feeding a baby. To me its a mute argument. If we need to be modest in dress we can be modest feeding a baby.
I believe the eyes that were opened of Adam and Eve were the eyes of their hearts, not physical eyes[See Ephesians 1.18 here]....The nakedness had nothing to do with what we call nudity. I believe Adam and Eve's physical state before the fall were like Jesus after his resurrection. The nakedness they saw and felt was that their glory was gone....
I believe Revelation's description of the new world is exactly what Eden was like before the fall and we need to view Adam and Eve in that context....I believe they were as we will be when the corruptible puts on the incorruptible[ 1 Cor 15]
I do not believe God did not give them coats of skins to hide physical nudity, it was the method of atonement to cover their fallen state...until the second Adam came...Atonement means to cover sin....

I believe it was both,according to Scripture.
Gen.3-[FONT="]Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked;[/FONT][FONT="][/FONT][FONT="] so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.[/FONT][FONT="]8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LordGod among the trees of the garden. 9 But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”[/FONT]
[FONT="]10 He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.”[/FONT]
