How many years separated the picking of the fruit from the tree and the cruxifixtion of jesus? Did every human go to hell between those time periods? I need a sample of that fruit and jesus's toenail for comparison. Anybody got a carbon dating kit?

according to the conventional Jewish calendar, about 3700 years from the creation of the world to the Crucifixion.
according to scientific data, about 200000 years from the first homo sapience to 0 AD. and 3.5 - 5.5 million years from the first hominids.
since The Garden of Eden is described as being in Africa or the middle east, with Africa a stronger favorite, the fruit could not be an apple, apples grow in temperate zones, it could be a fig, a date, Mango, Avocado, and several other tropical or sub tropical fruits, but definitely not an apple or a pear.

It wasn't an apple. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that it was an apple. It was called the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, but it was a metaphor about Eve being tempted by Satan. No one is currently in hell. Everyone who has died and will die will be given an opportunity to learn the Truth during the 1000 year period between the end of the current age and the final judgment. After that, those who still choose not to believe in Christ will be sent to "hell" which is described in a few different ways in the Bible, but basically it is removal from the presence of God. The souls sent there will be able to see the faint light of the kingdom of Heaven, but will never be able to get close to it.

doubtful on the pear also... about 4000 years...they didn't go to hell (Good thinking though)...fruit is still in the Garden and being protected by mighty cherubim...Jesus' toenail is attached to His foot and should be coming through the clouds any day now...Carbon dating is a farce =)
PS Mofty..."no heathen tribe or any backward nations can come up with the idea of one dying for someone else"??? Pleeeaaaassssse!!! what do you call our men and women who go to battle for us everyday!!!!! Oh man I gotta go to bed ...my head hurts after that.

About 4000 years between the two incidents.
No one has gone to hell yet. Hell happens at the end of all things. Everyone starts at the same time.
You are asking the wrong people for your samples. Why don't you ask the One who can--and might choose to--give those things to you?
Also, it sounds as if you could benefit from reading the Scriptures for yourself, instead of only using conjecture.

Dont bother more about fruit type. That was some fruit in heaven but name if not mentioned in the books means we do not know. Eat any fruit which u find or like.

I am sure that you would have had a similar problem with a Pear as well.By the way,what's the thrust of your question?Belittling some one through cheap ideas is as good as revealing your own level of wisdom.Raise the level and for that you have to earn a higher level for yourself.Come again and come with dignity.

A very very good question.
Will all before Jesus go to hell cos they don't know who Jesus was?
Christianity is a foolish religion for fools, no heathen tribe or any backward nations can come up with the idea of one dying for someone else, and their god the so called Jesus is powerless to do anything.
And I laugh the Christians to scorn the idea of "begotten son of god" god having sex with a mortal...

Grow up. Read the Bible for yourself. Maybe you won't write such idiotic stuff.
