I think the apple in Eden was representing disobedience, what's your opinion wht the apple meant?

Answer 1

You could be right. It represents, generally 'forbidden'.

Also look to the precursors to the Garden of Eden myth:

The Babylonian 'Epic of Gilgamesh' and the Sumerian 'paradise' named Dilmun.

Both of these tales influence much of the 'Garden of Eden' story.

The Sumerian myth details 8 plants:

"Enki desired to eat these plants and sent his messenger Isimud to fetch them. Enki ate them one by one, and Ninhursag in her rage pronounced the curse of death upon Enki..."

"...The great gods were in dismay and Enlil [the chief god] was powerless to help. Ninhursag was induced to return and deal with the situation. She created eight goddesses of healing who proceeded to heal each of the diseased parts of Enki’s body. One of these parts was the god’s rib, and the goddess who was created to deal with the rib was named Ninti, which means “lady of the rib”

The quest of of Gilgamesh (for immortality) was told by Utnapishtim (the Babylonian “Noah”) . It states that there was a plant at the bottom of the sea that had the property of making the old young again.

Gilgamesh dived into the sea and brought up the plant. The plant was stolen by a serpent.

Answer 2

The "forbidden fruit" in the Bible is never listed as an apple nor named specifically in the original OT texts. In the original Hebrew version, no specific fruit is mentioned. God tells Adam and Eve not to partake of the fruit of a tree in the Garden. A being of some sort offers Eve a fruit, tempting her to disobey God’s command. In the 6th century, a Latin translation rendered “fruit” as “apple.” In the Latin written text, then, the apple functioned as a metaphor for temptation.

Answer 3

I think it represents knowledge, the tree of life represented eternal life while the other tree represents knowledge of death.
That's one of the reasons why the snake is part of the story, ancient man believed that the snake was immortal because it shed its skin and became young again. So the snake, in one version of the story, ate the fruit of the tree of life while convincing man/woman to eat of the tree of knowledge (death).

Answer 4

In Paradise , there are all beautiful things for human (believed in Allah). No thing will be forbidden, because of permissible and allowable things from Allah - no harm, all things are good, apple and the others.

The tree that Adam ate from it, it was only certain one that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'la warn Adam from eating it.

But Adam peace be upon him after eating, He knew what he did wrong then he asked Allah for sincere forgiveness.

Allah Accepted him and forgavehim completely.

Answer 5

The fruit itself is irrelevant; the issue was that by eating it Adam disobeyed God. There was nothing magical about the fruit or the tree; but as soon as they disobeyed God they became aware of sin. So they knew both good and evil.

Answer 6

The Bible doesnt say what kind of fruit tree it was that Jehovah planted in the middle of the garden.
But yes,it was to test their obedience and loyalty to their God

Answer 7

Sex.

When Eve saw the serpent and said to Adam "Do you want to?" and Adam grunted "Uh-huh!" that moment of sexual pleasure they shared condemned mankind to finite lives of struggle on Earth.

As you can see, sex is still a highly visible element in our struggle.

Answer 8

It represented a delicious apple, probably a MacIntosh (my favorite apple)

Answer 9

I think it represents free will to choose and she chose wrong and sin entered the world.

Answer 10

I think it meant just what they said - Knowledge. The last thing the monotheists want is people thinking for themselves.
