Don't want to hear from you Morons with the not so clever silly thoughtless answers. I know it'll be tough for you not to respond here.

Not from God’s Word, the Bible, but from the fanciful, yet misguided, imagination of artists and poets has come one of the most popular myths of Christendom. What was the fruit? The Bible simply does not say, for the vital point is not the fruit but man’s disobedience.—Romans 5:12.

Actually the type of fruit is never revealed.

There is no where in the Bible that says Eve ate from an apple!
She ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and gave Adam some fruit from that tree!

Nowhere. It says "the woman ate from the fruit of the tree", some man way back in religious history came up with that doctrine. The poor apple and the woman have had a bad name ever since. God knew Eve would eat of that tree. He wasn't shocked at all. People just slay me with their ideas. Seek it out in Genesis. I did not mean to go overboard and say too much.

Actually, in the Bible it never says that the "fruit" that Adam and Eve ate was an apple. It never specifies what type of fruit it was, just that it was growing on the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.
Hope that helps.
God bless!

Nowhere!! It said that she ate fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Genesis 3:6. King James version.

She did not eat from the apple. She ate the fruit (unspecified) from the tree of good and evil. Its somewhere in genesis, sorry I don't have the bible memorized.

Yes it's not from an apple that Eve do...it is from fruit of a tree from the garden of Eden.

I think the "fruit" specified in the Bible is meant to mean the female womb ... Eve offered sex to Adam, Adam accepted ... hence, original sin is their having had sex. So each child in the world is born with the "sin" of the sex their parents had to take part in to create them.

The Bible doesn't say that. It simply says "fruit."

It actually says fruit, not apple.
Check out Genesis 3.
