shibboleth:
Gen.2:16-17 And the Lord God commanded the man saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Gen.3:2-11 The serpent tempts Eve to eat real fruit. How do you tempt someone with the lust of the flesh and eyes if you can't see what you are being tempted with? Eve gave fruit to her husband and he ate. How do you eat imaginary fruit? Eve also said they weren't to touch the tree. How do you not touch and imaginary tree? Yes, there are many symbolic sayings in Genesis, but the fruit was real and the serpent was real and their temptaion was real. They were really naked but, in vs.7 it says the eyes of them were opened. So this is a symolic verse since they had vision, but their spiritual vision was now open.

Since we are all created weak in our flesh, we all eat of the fruit of unrighteousness. It doesn't matter what that fruit its, it is not of God. So, we all ate of the fruit because we were in Adam. 1 Cor.15:46 says: Towbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that  which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
