That they were committing a necessary evil. To know good from evil, they had to eat the fruit. After Eve ate the fruit, Adam had to eat it, too, in order for them to stay together. Otherwise, Eve would have been cast out and Adam would have remained alone in the Garden. How would they, then, keep the commandment to be fruitful and multiply?

Go read the entire book of Genesis.. Nowhere but Nowhere does it say they ate an apple!
She ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and the tree looked desirable to her (Gen3:6).
So was it really a tree??
She then gave some of this fruit to Adam... It wasn't fruit at all. They had sex. That was the fruit.
That is why Cain and Abel was born and if you read 1John 3:12 "Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous. "
Eve's first born was illegitimate and sired by the serpent and Abel was not. That is why God accepted All the offerings from Abel and not Cain.
Go ahead and Slur this.... No one will agree with me, but verily I tell you the truth.

Adam and Eve did not eat an apple. It was just a fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Eve ate from the fruit first, thus showing that woman is the weaker and can be easily tempted. It was only until Eve ate from that tree frist that Adam ate next because of how much he loved her.
Genesis 2:16-17 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
17 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.
Eve clearly was told that she was not to eat from that specific tree.
Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil 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?
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
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.
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
She believed his lies and she and Adam comitted the very first sin.
They both knew not to eat from that tree, but believed the lies told to them by satan, in the very same way people listen to satan's lies today, and still disobey God's word. People today have the Word of God letting them what we can do and what God does not want us to do , but people go against God inspite of knowing what God said. Nothing has chainged.

Eve thought she could fool God and he wouldn't know everything they did. But He does know everything we do.
She felt like they were sneaking the apple/ fruit and all would be well. Also the curiosity, they couldn't overcome.
Adam foolishly followed her command and he ate of the fruit also, in God's despair and his word, Therefore they were punished by their father and we are too, He is our father and will be punished as any father would. He had place it there as a test for evil to see if they obeyed him or the serpent, the devil. They gave in to the devil.

The real question is "What was God thinking when he put that stupid Tree of Knowledge right in the middle of the garden of eden"?
Was it really God's invention anyways? Or Uranus' invention (read: "the sex god's invention")?
And... can asexuated trees grow fruits? ;)

They thought exactly what the serpent Satan told them. For God does know that in the day you eat therof, then your eyes shall be opened and you shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. Gen.3:5
