He improved on the clothing they had created. However God did not order that everyone remain clothed.
Try reading it in context instead of as an isolated verse. This was the letter to the Church at Laidicea. They thought they were rich, but God told them that they were “pitiful, poor, blind and naked.” Yes the nudity was forced on them by their condition, that of being neith r hot nor cold.
LOL! You can't even hear yourself and see the absurdity of what you are saying! Well---of course, God only meant for Adam and Eve to be clothed, not anyone else!!
And, of course, being lukewarm always strips you naked!
The whole thing:
Rev 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
Rev 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
Rev 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Rev 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
Rev 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
This is the condition of the Laodicean church---that is this church at the end of time---wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
It used to be thought of as a spiritual condition only----I see now that it is also quite literal!!
When public nudity in a church is considered acceptable--it is definitely time to buy eye salve for the blindness! It is very much a shame in the eyes of God.
God hears us whatever condition we are in---nudity, through no fault of our own or in private is no shame--He hears us--to be willingly publicly nude---I wouldn't trade my heavenly reward to publicly display myself for it. Anyone else can do as they please. We will all find out soo enough.
And all those verses about not uncovering the nakedness of others---that you dismiss as only meaning that it is just referring to having sex---if that is all God meant, he didn't have to say to not uncover the nakedness of someone, He is quite capable, and has done so, of just saying--to lie with, to know, etc---to uncover someone's nakedness is a privilege that is kept to those that are married for the sexual union. Other than that---God always describes it as a shame. When He speaks of sinful cities, or of Israel when she goes after other gods, he calls her a harlot and describes shaming them with nakedness. He then always ends with He will cove her nakedness.
Eze_16:36 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thy filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and with all the idols of thy abominations, and by the blood of thy children, which thou didst give unto them;
Eze_16:37 Behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all them that thou hast loved, with all them that thou hast hated; I will even gather them round about against thee, and will discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness.
Hos_2:9 Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recover my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness.
And why is it that you don't worship in the nude?
