Remember Paul's writing to the Corinthians, how, even though he didn't know anything he had done wrong, yet still he didn't consider that reason to thing he hadn't actually done something wrong.
And look at the reasoning he gives.
5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
Will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the heart.
But remember . . . this is why Paul didn't judge himself!
He recognized that his own motivations and inner thoughts may even be hid from himself! And that being true for him, I think it's true for us also.
Adam lived in innocence until he learned good and evil, and innocence was lost. Now, we need to understand we're not to live that way any longer, and allow Jesus to be completely in charge.
Much love!
Don't forget Paul also said that if we judge ourselves, we will not be judged.
I still believe he means Philippians 3:16. There may be hidden things that we are not conscious of, still letting us have a clear conscience. 1 John 3:21-24
Constantly abide in Him, and He will abide inside you.
And I also believe that it is known sin that separates us. Eve was seduced and believed it was okay. Adam willfully sinned. They didn't know they were naked until after Adam sinned knowing it was sin, not after Eve sinned unintentionally.
