   > Adam was -not- running around saying;   
      
   > "God is stoopid, there's nothing wrong with that Tree,   
   > in fact, it's in My best interest to eat from it and   
   > God is keeping it from me, i'm gunna do as i please."   
      
      
   remember; God is clothed;   
      
   ==   
   Psalm 93:1   
   YHWH reigns, clothed with majesty;   
   YHWH is clothed, girded with strength...   
   ==   
   Psalm 65:6   
   Who established the mountains by   
   strength, Being clothed with power;   
   ==   
   Psalm 104:1   
   Bless YHWH, O my soul! O YHWH my God,   
   You are very great: You are clothed   
   with honor and majesty,   
   ==   
      
   God Is clothed in Immortality...   
      
      
   but Adam and Eve were not clothed when created.   
      
   but =God= was not holding that against them,   
      
   and Adam/Eve didn't feel /ashamed/ of it.   
      
      
   but the intention is that Man be clothed.   
      
   which is why -i- say, Adam was created "unfinished"   
      
      
   look here;   
      
      
   ==   
   2 Corinthians 5:1-5   
      
   For we know that if our earthly house, this tent,   
   is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house   
   not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in   
   this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with   
   our habitation which is from heaven, if indeed, having   
   been clothed, we shall not be found naked. For we who   
   are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because   
   we want to be unclothed, but further clothed, that   
   mortality may be swallowed up by life. Now He who   
   has prepared us for this very thing is God, who   
   also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.   
   =   
   Revelation 19:8   
   And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen,   
   clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous   
   acts of the saints.   
   ==   
      
      
      
   God created an unclothed Being, one capable of seeing mortallity   
      
   but God wasn't saying;   
      
   "bad Adam, you're not clothed, put some clothes on"
