what fruit did Adam &Eve eat off of the forbidden tree? The Holy Bible ,does not say, can any one give proof?

Question

the forbidden tree what kind of tree was it?

Answer 1

Throughout the Bible, there are many details that aren't given; while we're curious about them, the truth is, these details aren't particularly important. Such is the case with the fruit eaten by Adam and Eve.

I am convinced the fruit had absolutely NO magical importance whatsoever. What WAS important to God was Adam and Eve's obedience. In other words, it wasn't the FRUIT that caused Adam to be defiled, it was Adam's disobedience that brought sin and death into the world. Many hundreds of years later, God gave the Levitical dietary laws to test the Jews' obedience to His commands -- this test was nearly identical to the test given to Adam and Eve. Still later, Jesus explained it wasn't the FOODS that defiled them; it was their disobedience to God that came forth from their hearts that caused it.

Similarly, the type of tree is also not important.

Answer 2

The fruit - from the tree of knowledge of good and evil - wouldn't be known to us today. After Adam and Eve ate from the tree, God drove them out of the Garden of Eden so that they wouldn't then eat of the tree of eternal life -- God didn't want them to live forever after having sinned. So this fruit - according to the Bible - would have been unseen by human eyes ever since.

Many seem to think that the 'forbidden fruit' was the sexual act itself, that the whole story is just sort of an Aesops fable of sorts. But if you believe the old testament as it's written, there's no evidence of this. Sin is any disobedience to God - not just the common ones -- haha. The story would work equally well if God had told Adam and Eve not to cross a street, swim across a river, spit into the wind - whatever. The moral is they disobeyed God and brought original sin to mankind.

Answer 3

It wasn't anything in this world. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil was removed, and the tree of life was taken away to heaven so that Adam and Eve would not eat of it and live forever. There is no more fruit like those two trees bore. Not in THIS world. There would be no purpose in that forbidden tree, because we all already have the knowledge of good and evil. It's a shame that most of the world chooses the evil.

Answer 4

Most likely it was a fig...

As it says, Genesis 3. 6-7 "When the woman saw the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her and he ate it. Then the eyes of both were open and they realized they were naked so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves."

Now clearly, when it refers to "fruit" it is plural as it says "she took some and ate it." It also says, "she gave some to her husband." "Some" is plural. Apples are about 3-4 inches in diameter so eating "some" would take a while. Figs are less than 2 inches in diameter so eating "some" would be easy and not take too long at all.

"Then the eyes of both were open and they realized they were naked so they sewed fig leaves together " If they had been standing in front of an apple tree, would they not have used apple leaves? They used fig leaves because they were standing in front of a fig tree. So it was a fig.

(That was easy to FIGure out. LOL)

Answer 5

I'm not aware of any documented proof classifying what type of fruit the tree bore, although it was labeled "The Tree of Knowledge," and it was forbidden from God. In one of the frescoes in the Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo depicted it as a fig tree. Many other painters have depicted as many different kinds of fruit, but this is by their own interpretation.

Answer 6

People often speculate that it could have been an apple, a fig, or any such fruit. My personal opinion is that since it was such a particular tree, and there is only one tree like that on the planet, and it was hidden away in the garden, I think it was some kind of fruit we have never seen before. I was probably sweet to the taste, easy to eat, and easy to handle.
I also agree that there is no way it could have been sex. The idea of sex hanging from a tree sounds ridiculous to me, and there is no Biblical basis for the idea.

Answer 7

Get ready, you asked for it: This is directly from the manuscripts, and yet you rarely hear it taught in the churches, but:
The tree of the knowledge of good/evil was satan himself. The tree of life was of course, Christ. There is no fruit eating that happened.
That would be ridiculous, at best. When Eve sinned and Adam participated, did they make a fig-leaf mask to cover their mouths because they ate fruit? Nope. They made aprons to cover their private parts - because thats the parts that participated in the sin. Yes, plainly, Eve had sex with Satan. God told Eve He would multiply her conceptions. He sure did.
Multiplied by two. She was pregnant with twins. One pregancy of two separate conceptions - two separate fathers. Abel was Adams son, and Cain was Satans son. (Genesis 5:1 is a complete list of the geneology of Adam - you won't find Cain listed there, because Cain simply was not Adams son).
Ever wonder why there was so much evil in Cain? Thats why. When Cain was thrown out of the garden, He went to where the 6th day creation of the races were, and married. Cain had lots of decendants, and they are called Kenites in the Bible, which fully translated means "sons of cain". They even made it thru the flood of Noah, and you will find them alive and well and doing scribe-work (go figure) for the tribe of Judah, in 1Chronicles 2:55.
When Cain was thrown out, God placed a mark on him - ever hear of the mark of the beast?
There ya go - thats its origin, right there in the garden. Its the mark of his father, satan.
The Bible is so confusing to people, because they don't have the foundation of it taught to them. If you do, you would understand so much more of it. Check out Rev 1, and you will read where John is taken in the spirit to the last day when christ returns,and John is told to write a message to each of seven churches. Only two of those churches are approved by Christ, and both of them teach the exact same thing: Who are the Kenites??
Or, read the parable of the tares in Matthew Chapter 13 -
He that sowed the good seed is the Son of Man; the field is the world; the good seed are the children of the Kingdom; but the tares are the CHILDREN OF THE WICKED ONE; the enemy that sowed them is THE DEVIL; the harvest is the end of the world, and the reapers are the Angels.

I don't know how Christ could have made it any clearer, and about that parable, Christ said if you don't understand that parable, you won't understand any of the Word.

Answer 8

Since the Bible gives us the only account of Adam and Eve, if it does not tell us what fruit they ate there is no way for us to know for sure. Artists have theorized that it was an apple, but there is no way to know. It was just a fruit.

Answer 9

It was the fruit off the Tree of Knowledge, between good and evil.

Answer 10
