Was the fruit in the garden an actualy physical fruit as Christendom teaches? (An apple)
..>>Could have been a pinorpleana for all we know. The scriptures state 'fruit'<<
I have my doubts, because its called "The Knowledge of Good and evil."
>>You're in good company--Eve doubted what God said, too !<<
And it was "Desirable for wisdom gaining knoweldge"
>>Gen 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
Gen 3:2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
Gen 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
Gen 3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
Gen 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
Gen 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
Either you take it for what it says...Adam was physically handed some fruit by Eve after she ate some... WE MESSED UP BIG TIME !!! We listened to the serpent instead of God...or you make up something about the event which satisfies your mind, but isn't truth.<<
So just like Christ told us to Drink of His blood and eat of His flesh or we have no life in Him, then perhaps this isn't actualy eating a physical fruit but maybe some more spiritual? I don't know, i mean it could have a liter physical application as in it was an actualy fruit in an actual garden somewhere here, but maybe there is a spiritual side to this?
>>Definitely a spiritual side...they ate it...we're paying for it. There's a physical event which had spiritual consequences. Disobedience has it's consequences...<<
