Give it a rest Mack. Just because something doesn't get answered immediately doesn't mean we've cut and run for the hills. We have lives outside of FR that need to be lived just like you do.
Here we see that Adam knew he was naked (a sinner) and he knew this of his own accord, God did not tell him. Adam even tried to cover himself up in his own clothing (works), but even with those he still felt naked and the need to hide himself. From this we see, I believe, that Adam's knowledge of his nakedness led him to realize his need for the clothing which God gave to him.
JM, yes Adam was aware of his sinful condition. Romans 1 tells us that all of Mankind should have this awareness from the testimony God has given of Himself in the Creation.
However, where did Adam come to God and ask God to cover him in that passage? It's not there. There was no choice on Adam's part. In fact Adam kept trying to cover his sin his own way. God had to step in and provide the covering for Adam.
Yes, Adam recognized his sin, but recognition of sin does not equate to making a choice for Christ. God made the coverings and covered Adam and his wife on His own.
I bet its hard to post at work, I know if I had employess that were posting on some internet chat board instead of working for the money I paid them to do the work I hired them for I'd be pretty upset and watching them to make sure it didn't happen.

When you talk the TULIP the spin mode kicks in, you used to be against that, now you pull the rope on the top to start the spin every time your asked a straight forward question, what happened?
