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?

Adam and Eve were not in public view since nobody else was there besides God.

You seem really hung up on this idea of their lack of clothing being evil. You denied saying such but you
have repeated it a number of times in two different threads and now create a whole new thread about it.


Adam and Eve chose to disobey God and lost HIS covering.

The covering they made in their shame to compensate was sadly lacking.

Are you a Christian? Do you attend a Bible believing, Bible teaching assembly? Do you have a church family?

Adam and Eve were innocent. God never told them to cover up. After they sinned, they were ashamed and attempted to clothe themselves. Since everyone is born a sinner, there comes a time of self consciousness in a child and they also want to cover up.

The Father, to this day, creates us all naked.

Do ou think the Father is affected in any manner at all by seeing His creatures as He created them. He certainly is not going to be tempted by their flesh for He is what we should seek to be, Spirit.

We cannot put on the Father the hyocrisy of mankind.

God bless all in Jesus Yeshua and all who will be.

You haven't quoted a single verse to prove your theory of 'HIS covering'.

They were innocent because they didn't have the forbidden knowledge of good and evil. So don't you need to be delivered from the knowledge of good and evil & be restored to God's image as they were?

If God created Adam and Eve naked, why are you clothed?

It's not possible. You can't unknow the principle of good and evil. What we need to do is reject it in favour of the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus.

It seems simple enough to me. Lord Jesus was sinless, perfect and with no trace of Adam's fallen nature. Lord Jesus wore clothes. So should we. We also need to know that our environment is entirely different now. Eden was paradise. There were no risks to going unclothed. Our bodies need protection from sun, wind, cold, physical injury, bugs, other people and so on. Clothes make a difference.

I never asked the Lord...He never told me...I think it's what you might call a given. Lol

Why wasn't it a given, to Adam and Eve?

So does the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus say being unclothed is sin?

I don't know, I wasn't there.
Actually, I think they were "bright" beings and were clothed with some kind of light. Sin removed the light, perhaps glory.
Hey, if you want to walk down the street naked, that's your business. Just don't expect me to come visit you, wherever they put you!

So don't you read the Bible to know the reason why they were created naked? They were created naked because God had prohibited the knowledge of good & evil.

Asking if the Holy Spirit tells us to be clothed in public has got to be one of the dumbest questions I've ever heard.
Do you expect anyone to take you serious? What is your damage?

You haven't quoted a single verse to prove your theory of 'HIS covering'.
The whole Bible is about the covering God would provide, established before the foundation of the world, that we may be reconciled to Him by grace through faith in the shed righteous blood of Jesus Christ, Who willingly gave His life that we may attain to life ever after, escaping the second death promised to those who lack this covering. Jesus fulfilled hundreds of prophesies concerning Him throughout His life and ministry, and even in His death. On the other hand, you have given no verse to show that Adam and Eve's lack of clothing was viewed as evil by either God or them. You said it a number of times and then denied it. You are hung up on proving some point that simply doesn't exist beyond the fantasy you have created in your mind.
