"There is no mention of Adam and Eve eating an apple in the Bible."

So you're syaing the wholle "Sins of Eve" thing in the church was just BS?

I believe all he is saying is thatThe Bible does not mention an apple in that part of it, I think.

i think its a stone fruit. (is that what those things are called?) they have these little red juicy thing inside of them.

but it's the 'apple thing' that led church leaders waaaaaayyyy back in the day to come up with the "Sins of Eve" thus blaming women for the downfall of mankind

😛. troublemakers. jk 😂

that's me, troublesome😉

No apple just fruit/tree. The apple concept was made up by the church fathers. In Gen we were looking at the tree of good/evil and the tree of life.

In Rev. It was only the tree of Life. Short examples below.

KJV: Genesis 3: 1-6 & verus 22

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?
3:2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
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.
3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
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.
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.

Gen 3: 22

22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

Heres another example.

Revelation 22: 1-2

22:1 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
22:2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

I hope that clears it up. 🙂
