Is There A Difference In?

Compare that to jungle people who wear little or no clothing. Do they know they are naked? If they don't consider themselves naked, is it still sinful for them? And how do we teach them to dress, according to Western culture? Do you really want to tell those women that baring their breasts is a sin? Understand that they are not the ones doing so because it's sinful. And they also believe they are modest in what they are wearing, even if it's necklaces and other ornamentation that denotes who they are in their tribe and such.

God didn't make nakedness sinful. Man did.

Ah, so if they don't know they are sinning, it's not a sin? So if they commit fornication and adultery and not know it's a sin...God winks at their ignorance?

You mean Adam and eves first sin was nakedness instead of eating the forbidden fruit?

Then don't you agree with the poster that said that nakedness only became wrong after adam and eve became aware that they were naked?

You didn't answer the question.

What makes nakedness a sin? And what is it? How is it defined?

Private parts are nakedness? What private parts?

And who defines it? It appears to me we cover less skin than they did for thousands of years in the Bible, both men and women alike. Are we sinning because we show more? If so, does God wink at our ignorance or are we going to split hell wide open?

And stop comparing nakedness to fornication and adultery. Those are never compared in the Bible and aren't comparable now. It's just like people who compare those who don't follow standards to be dressing like people on the beach and street walkers.
