It could not be an apple, since the Garden of Eden is in the east of Eden, which is definitely Africa, and apples don't grow in Africa.
A good bet would be a fig.
but I ate 50 figs in one week and did not get much wiser, so I'll try Coconuts next week, although 50 coconuts seems like a bit too much.

The common belief is that the forbidden fruit was a fig or pear, not an apple. The bible itself never actually states. I don't think it was a metaphor for sex. Sex according to the Bible is not a sin within the confines of marriage.

I know it wasn't. In fact, I believe the reference to fruit was allegorical because the meaning of what really happened would not have been understood by either the writer or the readers. It was another time and another place and the intention was to keep the program going as is.

Cam,
She certainly needs to begin reading and studying the Book of Genesis. That is NOT what it says at all. It was also NOT an apple. It was a "forbidden fruit". Have a wonderful week.
Thanks,

It was most likely a fig. And yes, they did have sex in the garden, but apparently not until after they ate.

Well how do you think they had Caine and Abel? Also it was technically a Pomegranette otherwise known as the LOVE apple rather than what we call an apple today.

The tree of knowledge of good and evil represents God's righteousness, The law.
There are two trees in the garden. These two trees have more than a literal meaning. We are told that The tree of knowledge of good and evil is forbidden.
The day Adam eats of it he will surely die.
The tree of life is also in the midst of the garden if they eat of it they will live forever.
These two trees are obviously more than trees.
What is the knowledge of good and evil?
Where could a man gain knowledge of good and evil?
We get our knowledge of good and evil from God.
The law that God sent down to Moses is the knowledge of good and evil.
Why would God's righteous law kill man?
Because man could not live up to God's righteousness.
It is also the reason there was a tree in the midst of the garden called the tree of life.
This is God's mercy.
This story Moses tells is of he two natures of God his righteousness and his mercy.
It is the story of man and his fall from God's glory and God's plan of salvation.

particular. The duo have been enlightened in so a methods as they grew to alter into unsleeping of self, and self will. it quite is all. How can there be information of something it quite is subconscious? through fact the backyard of Eden incident, God has continued to bare himself as a private Being, no longer an subconscious unifying rigidity.

The Bible does not say it was an apple. The Bible says it was the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The Bible does not say that it was sex.
