Right and wrong. Genesis 3:7 says that A&E made aprons out of fig leaves
because they were naked and ashamed. But then God made them coverings out of
animal skins in vs 21. I have a KJV right in front of me.
It's also important to note that after sin came in the world, God set up
laws of modesty. I do recall that they couldn't build an altar with stairs
because people could look up and see your nakedness from below. (It would
take me a while to find the scripture, but I can if you'd like.)
I personally believe that before A&E sinned, they were actually covered in
the glory of God and thus never felt naked. The Bible doesn't specifically
say that, but something did change about them to suddenly want covering. And
in heaven we will be given white robes of righteousness. Interesting to
speculate about what that means. I don't know why we don't go back to running
around in the buff, but I'm glad...
