The First Commandment

15And the Lord God took the man, whom He molded, and He placed him in the paradise to work and to guard it. 16And the Lord God commanded Adam saying:

“From every tree in the paradise thou may eat food, 17but from the tree to know good and evil, eat not from it; and whichever day you eat from it, you shall die with death.” (Genesis 2:15-17)

Description of the Tree

6And the woman saw that the tree is good into food and that it is
pleasing to the eyes to see and it is beautiful to perceive, and having
taken of the fruit of it she ate; and she gave also to the man of her with
her, and they ate. (Genesis 2:6)

The Consequence of Violation

9And the Lord God called Adam and said to him:

“Adam, where art thou?”

10And he said to Him:

“I heard the voice of Thee walking in the paradise and I feared, because I
am naked, and I hid.”

11And He said to him:

“Who announced to thee that thou art naked? Is it not that from the tree, which I commanded to thee this only not to eat from it, thou ate?”

12And Adam said:

“The woman, whom thou gave to me with me, she herself gave to me from the tree, and I ate.” (Genesis 3:6-12)

Nothing at all is said that the fruit is apple which people refer to as the forbidden fruit.

Most researchers no longer believe it was an apple (which might have come from an early latin translation).
They believe it was actually a pomegranate which is native to that part of the world.
A more liberal view point is the forbidden fruit was actually Adam and Eve eating animal flesh, bringing death to the Garden of Eden.

The Bible does not also say that it is a pomegranate. Where the Bible is silent, we should also be silent if we follow the Holy Bible.

In the garden, there were fruit trees including the Tree of Life. Which God commanded Adam (not Eve) not to eat was the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

This is my first time to hear that more liberal view point that the forbidden fruit is the actual eating of animal flesh by Adam and Eve. If we go out of the Bible, there would be endless enumeration and conjectures.

For me as a Christian, I follow the Holy Bible. Thanks a lot for responding and may God bless you. SEN

true, there's nothing said specifically, and some religions even say that the 'fruit' represents 'fornication'. so pls tell me, what do you think is the first sin of men?

You are right that the fruit mentioned in the Genesis was not apple. To me, it were the good teachings of GodAllahYHWH which by mistake they forget to remember.

There's really no mention that it was an apple. The red apple looks delicious and pleasing to the eyes that perhaps made men refer to the fruit as an apple. There was not even a name to the tree, unlike the Tree of Life which was named Tree of Life.


myLot reputation of 80/100. erminiasanjose (1561)   ranked 142 out of 1,795 in the bible  2 years ago

Yes, it is just said to be the tree to know good and evil and so it might be called the tree of knowledge as the tree that gives life is called the tree of life.

The Bible did not specifically mentioned what fruit is forbidden to eat so it could not be the apple.

I have read the Bible and i saw that it isn't written that the forbidden fruit is an apple. but the whole world know that it was an apple. I wonder where do this thought come from. do you have any idea?

Very good! This clarifies many stories about the apple being the forbidden fruit. Many people believe that it is the apple which is the forbidden fruit. Since it is not said so in the Holy Bible, the apple is not the forbidden fruit. It's nice to have the verses themselves.
