If apples are supposedly the forbidden fruit, do you honestly think Jesus ate apples? What about in pie? How do we really know APPLES are the forbidden fruit, I personally think it was oranges. Discuss.

It might have been an apple. A swallow could have carried it there.
That being said Jesus would have had immunity to the forbidden fruit.

Actually, Genesis never mentions specifically what the forbidden fruit is! It simply calls it the Tree of Knowledge. For some reason or other artists have always depicted the Tree of Knowledge as an apple tree. I don't know why.
Jesus, if he existed at all, probably ate an apple or two.

Apples weren't the forbidden fruit. Yes, Jesus would eat apples.

Apple trees don't grow in the Middle East, because an apple seed must be frozen for months before it will germinate.
Possibly the "apple" in Genesis is really a thorn apple, which has hallucinogenic properties, and is a more likely candidate for a source of forbidden knowledge.

This is a very weird question. Of course, Jesus would eat apples [if they were to grow in the Middle East at the time], as he would eat bread, wine, meat, fish, vegetables, etc.
The forbidden fruit is a different story altogether and the apples of the modern world have only superficial relationship to it.
You are creating a false paradox, and not a clever one at that.

Of course Jesus ate apples. We don't know what the forbidden fruit was ,but i would think it isn't around any more.I really believe it was a special one thing, that was never to be again. Of course that's my opinion. It does make sense, you have to admit.

Where in the Bible does it say it is the forbidden fruit? That is NOT what Adam and Eve ate but so many have quoted it that way that many believe it and continue to spread an untruth. Read Genesis, chapters 2 and 3, and discover the truth there :)

The forbidden fruit most definitely wasn't supposed to be an apple. I don't think anybody actually thinks that. Some scholars say it was a pomegranite. But it is a metaphor anyway.

Where did you get the info that apples are forbidden.
The bible doesn't say WHAT kind of fruit was on the tree.......they have been DEPICTED as apples, but it could have been ANY fruit that grows on a tree......maybe even a fruit that doesn't exist anymore

No-one knows what fruit was on the forbidden tree, there were other trees in the garden of Eden with the same fruit. God told them not to eat from that one particular tree because he claimed it as his own. It wasn't particularly the fruit itself that was bad for them, it was the fact that they disobeyed God and stole what was God's.

Apples are not the forbidden fruit, for the millionth time. Genesis only says "fruit"; apples were unknown in that part of the world at the time.
