.
In the beginning; there were no dress codes and the people thought nothing
of it.
• Gen 2:25 . .The man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no
shame.
Then came the forbidden fruit incident wherein the people of a sudden felt
different about their appearance in the buff and covered their pelvic ar
as with rudimentary loin cloths.
• Gen 3:7 . . At that moment, their eyes were opened, and they suddenly
felt shame at their nakedness. So they strung fig leaves together around
their hips to cover themselves.
( Apparently Eve remained topless at first; and in some primitive areas even
today, the women still are.)
To my knowledge, God has yet to condemn full frontal nudity; so this
sudden awareness of their appearance didn't come from Him. In other
words; their new attitude about the human body wasn't divine, rather, it was
cultural: and even today, many years later, the world's dress codes remain
cultural.
NOTE: Nudist colonies and clothing optional beaches aren't evil per se where
they are legal. When people condemn those places as sinful and indecent;
they display the effects of the forbidden fruit incident at work in their minds.
