> are you saying we should just walk around naked? what is even your point? that we are saved by grace alone and satan introduced shame into the world in the garden thats why he is called "satan" the accuser. the temple rights were a way for us to deal with our own shame and thus feel reconsiled unto god. the faith versus works debate has been raging for two thousand years but let me put it like this, jesus says he is the true vine and no one produces fruit apart from him, and the branches which produceth fruit he prunes and the branches that do not produce fruit are cast away and burned. you cant do any good apart from god, no good works, but if you are filled with shame you will separate yourself from god and be incapable of doing any good and never be reconciled to him again (apart from him you can do no good works and if your shame is preventing you from being rejoined to him you will never do good works understand?) his sacrifice on the cross he said would be like the serpent on the pole that when the israelits were bitten by poisonous snakes they had but to look upon the statue and be healed, to look upon jesus on the cross is to know he died for your sins so your shame is of no use, be reconciled to him now and be capable agian of producing good works by your faith which you cannot produce apart from him separated by shame
