i didnt know that was in there

[Sister]

Any more??? 

Yes, where does it say that Eve ate the "apple"?

How do we get an "apple" when the scriptures say "forbidden fruit"?

No matter how hard I search, I cannot find where this forbidden fruit was an "apple"? 

Where did that come from?

2) Ive heard it preached that God uses people with shady pasts eg Mary Magdalene- prostitute -The bible in no way mentions Mary Magdalene was a prostitute.

 

 

Exactly!  Jesus cast many devils out of her, but never once was she referred to as a prostitute.

Chinese whispers!

[Tinky]

I think Adam ate the fruit simply because he wanted the same thing Eve did: "To be like God, knowing good and evil."

I've heard it PREACHED that Adam wasn't deceived by the forbidden fruit....

 

but rather completely knew that it would cause him to die....

 

but he ate it because he loved Eve....

 

and loved her so much....

 

he didn't want to be without her....

 

 

Here's Another Possibility

 

These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. Acts 17:11

 

Adam Really Wanted To Take A Bite

 

Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

 

But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

 

Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. James 1:13-15

 

But God Said That If He Did, He Would Surely Die

 

And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

 

But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it:

 

for in the day that thou eatest thereof

 

thou shalt surely die. Genesis 2:16-17

 

So He Took Eve And Stood Her Before The Tree

 

And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.

 

And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked?

 

Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? Genesis 3:10-11

 

Placing His Wife Between Himself And Death

 

And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me,

 

she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. Genesis 3:12

 

And He Carefully Listened To The Snake

 

And the serpent said unto the woman,

 

Ye shall not surely die: Genesis 3:4

 

And Watched "Beloved" To See

 

And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food,

 

and that it was pleasant to the eyes,

 

and a tree to be desired to make one wise,

 

she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat,  Genesis 3:6(a-e)

 

If She Would Indeed Die

 

and gave also unto her husband with her; Genesis 3:6(f)

 

And When She Did Not, He Ate

 

and he did eat. Genesis 3:6(g)

 

What A Noble And Manly Man Our Forefather Was

 

But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

 

For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

 

For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 1 Corinthians 15:20-22
