Just as a fun aside, people put pants on this chimp, probably at least in part because they thought it was half-human.
(I am not making fun of religion. I am sort of making fun of the shared human understanding - with a total void of explicit reasoning - about who should have to wear clothes and why. In other words, nobody would come right out and say, "Well, if he's half-human, then he has to wear pants, but if he's not then he doesn't, and he might be, so let's put pants on him just in case," but everyone seems to share that understanding, which I feel like would break into obvious absurdity if spoken, and for some reason that gives me a serious ROFLMAO.)
Either way ...and I am aware of the two afterlife - ideas, on the earth or in heaven.... Whatever the process of burning out the impurities for the deserving to be with God, as per Paul, no iniquity can remain and shame is iniquity. Earth or heaven, we all have to be nude. Clothing is a fall from perfect grace and shame, prudishness and all the sexual hang - ups are all down to Eve being too attentive to that snake. All that, trowsers made of leaves, grass skirts and artfully placed twiggs are all to go and it's Frolicksome Sands Resort on earth just as it is in heaven.
Not a chance. God uses metaphors as similes that the Jews will understand, not to tell them how things will be in heaven. When he talks about beating plows into offensive weapons there is no way you can argue that in heaven or a perfect afterlife, people will plow and furrow, never mind make war. So you cannot use similes using clothing as evidence for what a pre -Eden perfection in heaven or on earth will be like. However, Genesis tells us exactly what heaven or earth will be like. A garden where they can eat of any fruit other than knowing Good and evil, which rules out embarrassment, prudishness and shame. They ain't gonna study war no more and will not plow, sow, or put up fences, nor shall women need epidurals or put up with any of the stuff that God inflicted for listening to that blasted snake. Having learned what nakedness was and shame along with it, there is no way that is other than a fall from grace, perfection and obedience and it is a failure of human understanding to think that their sin, originating from the Fall, is somehow good, moral and decent and in God's own afterlife it'll be long sleeved blouses and decently modest dresses. No siree, it'll all hang out in the presence of God, and His Faithful will no more give it no nevermind than they will to the billions of backsliders screaming their heads off in the fires of Hell.
