What is this APPLE thing, anyway? The bible doesn't mention an apple in Genesis!?

Question

Where did that APPLE come from? Is this a Macintosh prophesy? What gives?

Answer 1

The pictures depicting the Incident of Adam and Eve, they show the fruit as painted i red or yellowish. Thomas got into that and assumed it a Apple that Adam ate.

In the Bible its mentioned only as a fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.

Answer 2

Good question-didn't really think of that. Well, Christianity has a lot in common with Greek society/religion. The Greeks worshiped Venus, who's symbol was the five pointed star. An apple cut a certain way has five seeds arranged in a star pattern so maybe it had something to do with making five pointed stars a bad thing.

Edit: 'quint' means five and mangoes are also red-yellowish.

Answer 3

There are more than 2,000 versions of bible in this world.

Seventh Day Adventists and Jehovah's Witnesses.
First Roman Catholic Bible was published at Rheims in 1582.
Second one published at Douay in 1609.
These called RCV version of Bible.
The Protestants regarded 7 books as ‘apocrypha’ (doubtful authority) and removed them from Bible.
(The Book of Judith
The Book of Tobias
The Book of Baruch
The Buck of Esther, etc. )
Jesus pbuh said in the book of Revelation Chapter 22 Verse 18-19 ". . . If any man shall add to these things (or delete) God shall add unto him the plagues written in this Book."
On deleting 7 books from bible, the Catholics call ‘cult of Christianity’ to the Seventh Day Adventists and Jehovah's Witnesses.

Answer 4

Yes, I think Just4Christ got it right - artists depicted the fruit as an apple, for "artistic reasons" I guess.

Answer 5

Lol. It was actually a fruit called a "quint", but it was retranslated in more modern versions to be easier to relate to.

Answer 6

Great question!
