It wasn't an apple

Wrong......Welcome to Worthy Ted    .Does it say anywhere in the Bible that the fruit Adam and Eve ate was not an apple?The above verse you gave means nothing.The Bible doesn't say that it was an apple to my knowledge.It could have been a pear or.....

Thanks for the welcome Bopeep.

 

 

The verse I supplied above tells us we were allowed to eat from every tree that contains seeds right?  That would indicate to me that either:

 

God had made an incomplete statement in this verse regarding the fact that we could eat from every tree that had seeds (because if the Knowledge Tree had seeds we were not to eat from it).

 

or

 

The Knowledge tree had no seeds

 

If God had made an incomplete statement (He said "every" when it really wasn't so), can anyone clue me in as to how we would know (not assume) that God had indeed made the incomplete statement?

God speaks as He wishes to speak! And He speaks only the truth.

Why does it matter so much to you?

 

 

It's a curiosity - I think it's an interesting notion that the Tree of the Knowlege of Good and Evil "may not have" produced seeds.  It has interesting ramifications given all the places that seed is mentioned in scripture.

 

Shalom, and Welcome to Worthy! ... I am not seeing the importance of it. It was a command from God...to obey. Don't eat of the fruit of that tree right there. The type of fruit, seed or no seed, apple, orange or pear has no bearing on it. We are not told of what fruit it was for probably the same reason things are not told in several places in the bible....man would make that fruit something to worship along with other things people worship instead of Christ alone.

 

God Bless,

Well now that you mention it, I don't see why it would need seeds since I doubt God really wanted it to reproduce....   Kind of frivolous, but hey we talk about less important things here all the time.

That particular fruit just might have had a very important seed after all.......man ingested the seed of evil

I don't see it that way.....   eating of the fruit didn't put evil into man, it just enlightened him to it's existence. Not knowing good from evil, Adam was just doing what was natural for him......

St.John 6:53  Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.

What is your understanding of this verse?

Hello 2404, I really don't have much understanding of John 6:53.  I could make guesses based off scripture, but I don't think they would help anyone.

that would be a good thread to ponder over but I fail to see how it fits into this thread....   what am I missing?

Blessings Ted......

     Welcome to Worthy.........................God Bless you & like Hippie has tried to convey to you,,,,,it is not important what kind of fruit is was,if it was important then God would have said so,,,,,, the fact that He didn't really should make it quite clear that it is about obedience....it doesn;t matter if it were a pineapple upside down cake hanging from the tree,it was forbidden of them by God,period......case closed

       Ted,you mentioned you have no understanding of a verse from the Book of John,may I ask if you have recently been Saved & if so,are you just starting to read the Bible,beginning in Genesis?In any event,I am happy you are here & I pray you are Blessed with Wisdom & Understanding by the Power of the Holy Spirit & that you enjoy our fellowship here at Worthy!
