....they were both naked.......

Gen 2:25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

Ever heard it taught that Adam and Eve were not really naked, but were "shrouded in the glory of God"?
Where does this belief come from?
And if they weren't naked why would there be a need to say "and were not ashamed"?

Someones vivid imagination. It is purely speculation.

And if they weren't naked why would there be a need to say "and were not ashamed"?


Exactly right. Because original sin had not yet been commited, it was not a sin to be naked, and therefore they were in their perfect creation state. When they sinned and had their eyes openned, they became aware of the law of God in their hearts, condemning them.

Rom 2:14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
Rom 2:15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and [their] thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)

Rom 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law [is] the knowledge of sin.

Where there is no law, there is no sin. When they became law breakers, by their willful transgression, they became accountable to the law.

Oliver B. Greene taught that Adam and Eve were covered in God's righteousness, but when they sinned that was taken away (not his exact words, but to that effect). So, I have heard it. There's nothing in scripture to indicate that it's true, but the wording of them knowing they were naked is interesting.
