Ted, I'm a third of the way through this post but where is the spiritual "nakedness" scriptures in the Bible?

Genesis 2:25  And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed. If it were written and they were of short in stature but not ashamed we would immediately ask,"what is shameful about being short?" But since our minds are clouded by the previous generations determination that they had just been created without sin we have been forced to claim thier nakedness was physical even though we all know that there is nothing shameful about being as GOD created you in the privacy of your own garden. Instead of questioning the obvious contradiction we learned from the rabbis eisegesis, we solve the cognitive dissonance by saying, "oh, this is just another mystery of no import...we'll know soon enough what HE meant."  Genesis 3:21 And the Lord God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins and clothed them. We know this clothing is a symbol of their being brought to Christ for their sin but they were naked before they ate and should have been ashamed...

Revelation 16:15 (“Behold, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his garments on, that he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!”)
 Benson Commentary equates nakedness here with sinfulness - ...that keepeth himself clothed with the robe of righteousness, the garment of salvation; lest he walk naked, and they see his shame — Lest he lose the graces which he takes no care to keep, and others see his sin and punishment. - as does Matthew Henry, Barnes, Matthew Poole, Gill and the Pulpit Commentary, etc etc.

Rev 3: 17 You say, ‘I am rich; I have grown wealthy and need nothing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked. 18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, white garments so that you may be clothed and your shameful nakedness not exposed, and salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see.… In this section, being naked is clearly expressed as a symptom of being spiritually blind and full of sin. Now, apply this to our other naked couple, Adam and Eve, and what do we get???

Exodus 28:42 You shall make for them linen undergarments to cover their naked flesh.  with Rev 19:7 Let us rejoice and be glad
and give Him the glory.
For the marriage of the Lamb has come,
and His bride has made herself ready.
8 She was given clothing of fine linen,
bright and pure.

For the fine linen she wears is the righteous acts of the saints.”
in which we see an equation of being clothed as a depiction of being righteous, the opposite of being sinful.

Then there are all the verses that use being naked to mean to be exposed as under the judgment of GOD, your sins seen by everyone. Does this help you with "spiritual" (?) nakedness?
