When Adam and Eve covered themselves they disparaged God's work. Their shame at their nakedness was an insult to God.
But god went along with their shame by making clothes for the two, so how much of a disparagement and insult could it have been?When Adam and Eve covered themselves they disparaged God's work. Their shame at their nakedness was an insult to God.

"Now the man called his wifes name Eve, because she was the mother of all the living. 21 The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and clothed them.
Sounds good to meI take it as "okay, I made the most awesome body in the world for you. AND YOU HIDE IT?! sigh* okay, I understand you have bad taste. Will this garments best than those silly leaves, no?"
He should have given us nice, sleek fur.
What is it that makes the naked body sexual? You mean when someone lusts after a naked body the body then becomes sinful. If I lusted after my neighbor's goat would that make the goat sinful? To my way of thinking there's no reason to place the onus of sin on the goat, or a naked body, but perhaps on the one doing the lusting. The goat or naked body certainly can't help how other people regard it, so why blame them?The Bible never mentions nudity in and of itself as being sinful. It's when you make it sexual that it becomes sinful. In fact there a re number of passages that mention it in a neutral or even positive light.

That is true.Many people associate nudity with sexuality as pornography...as promiscuous, but the truth is,in nidist or naturist establishments,there is no connotation of sexuality with nudity.It normal people living normal lives...doing normal things ..just doing it in the nude.Sex does have a role to play as it has with textiles.As a matter of interest...naturist/nudists have a very high ethos in general...and kids are protected.There is a difference in living a nudist life style...and just visiting a nudist beach...its like walking barefoot...some say its unhealthy...when the opisite is true...some say it causes illness...the opposite is true...some say its against USA health laws...it is not...why?Because of misconceptions and ignorance.I think nudism is fine for kids. It only causes problems amongst adults who, from lack of exposure, have come to equate it with sex.
Pedophiles, or any randy people, are going to pursue their personal sexual fixations clothed or unclothed.
Reminds me of what a Christian pastor said at a nudist colony said who was being interviewed on t.v. (it just showed his upper half), namely that anyone who thinks that nudism is sexy has never been to a nudist colony.So it is with nudism...its a life lived...not promiscuous unhindered sexual indulgence...
It's more than a little ironic.Reminds me of what a Christian pastor said at a nudist colony said who was being interviewed on t.v. (it just showed his upper half), namely that anyone who thinks that nudism is sexy has never been to a nudist colony.
Scream in admiration I presume.Reminds me of what a Christian pastor said at a nudist colony said who was being interviewed on t.v. (it just showed his upper half), namely that anyone who thinks that nudism is sexy has never been to a nudist colony.
BTW, I never have gone to one because I don't like hearing people scream.
Ya, something like that.Scream in admiration I presume.
