Nudity began in the garden of Eden as a shameful thing when Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit. Their eyes was open and they knew they were naked and decided to sewed fig leaves together and made themselves clothing. And when they heard the voice of the Lord they were so ashamed they hid, Genesis 3:6-11.

God should of made it clear to Adam and Eve to stay completely away from the forbidden tree and made a fence around it for their protection, not just to inform them not to eat of it. I thought to myself the devil who appeared as a serpent probably was also told not to eat from the tree and did, and for this reason he was stock there all by himself, and desided to deceived Adam and Eve to be his partner in crime against God by being disobedient also. What could had happened to make an angel of God to do such a thing? Maybe he appeared like a serpent because he’d lost his grace with God or was he the tree itself? Poor Adam and Eve I thought, with their innocence, maybe it was the first time they had ever saw a serpent. If Adam and Eve was blessed, to be fruitful, replenished the earth, subdue it and have dominion over every living thing that moved upon the it, every herb, tree, beast, fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, Genesis 1:27-30. They both should of known serpent doesn’t speak.

The Bible says our body is the temple of the Lord, 1Corinthinians 6:19-20. Matthew 5:28 Jesus said, “But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery( sin) with her in his heart.” I think of the birthing of a baby and how we all enter into the world naked, not ashamed and our flesh is clothing for the spirit. Naked means: not covered by clothing, nude. Devoid of of concealment or disguise.

I love nudity, for me it should symbolizes freedom, openness, and to be yourself with sincerity. To others your nudity should convey “I have nothing to hide, I am not afraid, neither ashamed, I have self esteem, I am bold and courageous, not be a temptation for sex or solicitation, sin.” To God nudity could be vulnerability and innocent, not considered sin.

Michelangelo the Italian sculptor, painter, architect and poet of the High Renaissance one of my favorite painters who’s artwork expressed the beauty of the human anatomy by his nude paintings and sculptors. He painted the altar wall of the Sistine chapel, Vatican city. The nudity caused controversy for the religious people and I love fact that the vatican waited after his death at eighty-eighty to then cover the genitals of his nude artwork with fig leaves, lol. He was bold, confident and a radical that they respected his artwork. He’s my favorite artist specific because he brought the nudity in the church not as a sexual, temptation, sinful thing. I believe his art of nudity represented especially in the church sincerity when coming before God.
