I have one question: Why did God create Adam and Eve naked?\u00a0<\/p>\n\t
Technically, almost every animal God created was made without clothing. Monkeys, lions, dogs, cats, etc., do not wear clothing. And every creature born comes into this world without clothing.<\/p>\n
The lack of clothing is specifically mentioned in Genesis 2:25 to help us understand that Adam and Eve were innocent. Only after they came to know good and evil through their sin did they see themselves as naked and put on clothing (Genesis 3:7).<\/p>\n
This has stayed with mankind. Small children are not concerned about clothing, but that changes when they reach an age where they know good and evil. They then realize it is shameful to be seen without clothing.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
