Christian/Muslim ThreadsSin and its forgivenessLady Fatima, and I have to agree with you on this. The Bible clearly supports that comment, when in Genesis 2:25, Adam and Eve are in a sinless state, and the Bible records that they were both naked (arowm is the hebrew word), but was not ashamed. So pure and good were they in this prefall state, that shame in any sense was not a part of their experience. Then came the fall and the Bible states in Gen 3:7, that the first thing they felt was shame, not guilt after the fall. After the fall the bible says the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realised they were naked (the hebrew word has changed to eyrom), and the first thing they tried to do was sew fig leaves together to hide their shame. Gen 3:10 however, shows that no matter what they tried to do, they could not hide that shame completely for it says "I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.
Now, considering what you said in your previous post.. how then does a muslim deal with shame if he doesn't do wudu correctly? How does he know that he is forgiven or at least, able to continue with prayers. Is it because he has done something to rectify the situation? Because he has repented? How do you as a muslim see the story in Genesis 3 and the need for God to be the one to provide the only covering that took their shame away? The Lord God made garments of skin (the first recorded death, due to man's sin) for Adam and His wife and clothed them." I want to pursue this more later, but do want your interaction before we proceed. Greetings to you and your family Carol[/quote] |
