She was unclothed.
Adam and Eve, after they sinned, DID have to sin as a matter of who and what they were, because God turned them over to that.
FHG and Jethro,
I don't mean to change this thread, but after two replies I can't help myself.
This is a theological question which has come up before while I've been here and for which there is no answer, but I'll ask it for your consideration.
Actually, Smaller is right on this.
Before Adam and Eve ate, there was no sin nature in them since they had not eaten yet.
SO, if they didn't have the sin nature yet, WHAT made them eat the forbidden fruit?
No answer necessary - just think about it.
It represents her not being clothed with Christ and, therefore, vulnerable to the deceits of the enemy, just as we all are when we are born. And like Adam and Eve, when we choose to sin we will be turned over to the nature of a sinner (happened to me somewhere along in the ninth grade). Like the dog who barks because he has to do that by the very nature of who and what he is, so the person who chooses to sin when the commandment comes along will then have to sin by the very nature of who and what he has become for sinning against God.Because she didn't have any physical clothes on, this means what?

"sin entered the world through one man" (Romans 5:12 NASB)What other sin did Adam and Eve commit?
Where does it say that God turned them over to be sinners?
JLB
Sorry, I've never made that claim. 1 Cor. 15:43-49 is very clear that the natural man, which Adam was, is planted in weakness, corruption, dishonor.

"sin entered the world through one man" (Romans 5:12 NASB)
Smaller,
Mathew 5:28 goes beyond the thought. Jesus said "that everyone who looks on a woman to LUST for her, has already committed adultery with her in his heart". NASB
So he's not just looking at her and thinking she's cute - he's LUSTING for her. It goes beyond that passing thought that Reba was talking about re the neighbor's car. The thought has to move from the mind to the heart.
Now this is a theological reality and you could check any source you care to check. Just think if it were not true. We'd be immersed in constant sin. Thoughts are uncontrollable. However, they could LEAD to sin.
Romans 13:14
Answered above. The "thought" is not the "lust".
Wondering
If Eve had been clothed in the righteousness of Christ she would not have sought to gratify the desires of her flesh through sin:The scripture does not imply she was not clothed with Christ, but physically naked.
She was later physically clothed, with physical animal skins.
Adam was indeed filled with the Spirit of Christ as well as Eve, being made from natural matter they were given life, as the Spirit of Life came in them from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Sin came into the world through Adam. Which would obviously include Adam himself. Or do you think he was sinless after the fall? The Bible doesn't cite any specific sins of mankind until the account of Cain and Abel if I'm not mistaken.That was from Adam's sin, by eating of the fruit.
What "other" sin did they commit, as you said they were turned over to be sinners by God.

I see you shrinking down fast into contentiousness. Can you relate this to the topic of the thread in some way?What other sin did Adam and Eve commit?
That's the question?

Many, many 'Christians' act like they don't have the new nature--like no change has occurred in them at all.
I'm not seeing it. I don't see any value in your line of questioning to that end.It looks to me that you have backed yourself into a corner, with the idea of the "sin nature" as being our "husband" and it was this "sin nature" that was put to death, and not the body of Christ, and with Him the law.
I'm not seeing it. I don't see any value in your line of questioning to that end.
And you seem to be saying they did NOT sin after eating of the tree. Can you defend that in light of the scripture that teaches us the fall of mankind after Adam and Eve's sin?
Adam and Eve were filled with the Spirit of Christ.
Adam did not speak the word of the Lord to Satan, "thou shall not eat of this tree".
Just like Jesus Christ had to do in the wilderness.
Jesus was hungry, however He did not obey Satan, but rather spoke what the word of God said...
Man shall not live by bread alone, but on every word...
Was Jesus tempted?
Was Jesus clothed with Christ?
JLB
I'm at a complete loss as to why you think it necessary to even entertain the absurd notion that Adam and Eve were perfect and never sinned again after the fall. Why are they different than the rest of us that they should not become slaves to sin as the result of obeying sin (Romans 6:16 NASB)?I am saying there is no scripture to support your claim, that Adam and Eve were now sinners and were given over to sin by God.
Until you produce a scripture that shows us of more sins that Adam and Eve committed, then you will be furthering one of thousands of man made theories.
Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression [singular] of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come. Romans 5:14
All it took was one sin, and thereby death from that sin being transferred to all mankind, because death now entered through the loins of Adam, unto all mankind.
Death entered the human race through Adam, the father of all mankind.
