I realize that nakedness is refered to as shame but where and when did it become sin.or is it?, Adam and Eve covered their bodys with leaves and hid from God because in Gen.3:10 they were naked, and even God wanted to know who told them they were naked, I realized that they were unaware that they were naked until they ate fruit they were not supposed to eat but there were only the two of them among a multitude of animals who certainly wore nothing but hair or fur so who could they have compared themself to but the naked animals....in fact who first coined the word naked and then discribed what it ment?
Rom.5"13 states that sin is not imputed when there is no law so does one of the 630 laws given to Moses to pass on to the people refer to nakedness as being a sin?
Maybe it was an attempt to camouflage themselves, a denial kind of deal, blend into the woodwork. Getting caught with their hand in the cookie jar, being the guilty party, they sought a disguise, and cowered in fear. It doesn't really say he was experiencing shame, just awareness of his condition now that his eyes were opened to good and evil, and his fearfulness.
Adam was spoken directly to. Israel was spoken directly to. They both transgressed, besides doing something offensive. The law is a barometer of sin. If God had spoken directly to the Gentiles, we too would be liable for sin. But we are not. Adam is the direct fault of our death condition, not the Law. We never had the oracles or the Law given to us, it belongs to a specific people, not us.
Our offenses is what Christ died for, not our transgressions. There are none. That is why Paul said "sin is not imputed when there is no law"
Ro 5:13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
Ro 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
Our sins are offensive to God, but we have not transgressed His commandments as did Adam and Israel. They are without excuse, having more than their consciences to go on. They had His foremost involvment in the matter. We were afar off, strangers and aliens, sojourners at times, but never in the thick of things.
The Savior died for the all the sins of the world, offenses and transgressions. Therefore He is the Exalted Redeemer worthy of our subjection.
As a side note, Jesus made it clear what will condemn a person at the resurrection, and it has nothing to do with sin.
Jn 3:17 For God did not send His Son to the world that he may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through him;
Jn 3:18 he who is believing in him is not judged, but he who is not believing hath been judged already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
That is why God is revealed by Paul as being conciliated with the whole world, and at peace with mankind. It is His Son Who has taken over the reigns of judgment and justice, and His prescription is "Believe on me".
