Clothed in Christ ping
How about "It's cold outside!"?
So many struggle to attain their own righteousness. The righteousness of Christ is freely available to all who put their faith and trust in Him alone.
So...the faithful unclad are OK?
Not sure author’s reasoning quite goes where expected...
Did Adam use paint to stripe himself, or did he go with mud or some other kind of natural product?
I am clothed in Christ ... so yes I am fine
Great! Man falls from Grace, but it's the badger who has to suffer for it.
No wonder they're so ill-tempered all the time.
Great post - thanks.
New thought hit me: will we need clothing in the next life? Indeed, if we are truly not only then clothed with Christ Himself, those with Him forever will also be “glorified” - thus, theoretically, not needing clothing!
No sex in next life, so that’s not an issue.
Another point some may have not considered - most other religions have sex in the next life - Judaism & Christian faith do not..........
Not sure you quite got my point...
This article is more about being IN CHRIST than about clothing our physical body.. When the Father sees the elect..He sees His glorious righteous son.. and runs down the hill to greet us
You know most of the replies sadden me ..and reinforce the scripture that spiritual things are spiritually discerned

Ohh I got it...1Co 2:14
Agreed. It's not surprising however. I think there are all too many who call themselves Christian are simply doing so because they attend some "church" or perform some rituals. I read many comments on these forums where it's obvious the spiritual understanding is missing.
I think technically they were not clothed in God’s righteousness in the garden before the fall. They were innocent, without stain, and had the image of God.......but not yet clothed with God.....
I don’t think you can provide any scripture to support the idea that before the fall Adam & Eve were clothed in God’s righteousness.
However, IF they had eaten of the Tree of Life (Christ), they then would have been clothed in God’s righteousness.
No one can be dogmatic about this as scripture does not say......
Yup.
And another thought.
When our first parents realized they were naked and hid, God clothed the with them skins of animals, Foreshadowing the sacrificial system and which pointed to the sacrifice of Christ.
More like: indecent exposure laws still apply.
As a big Robert Heinlein fan I always liked the alternate world described in The Number of The Beast where it was required to attend church completely unclothed. Might do some good for the rampant gluttony easily observable among church members as well.
