In the biblical story, Eve ate the forbidden fruit first, after being tempted by the serpent, and then gave some to Adam, who was with her and also ate it, making them both participants in disobeying God's command in the Garden of Eden. While Eve initiated the act, Adam's presence and choice to eat it too are significant in religious interpretations, with some viewing his participation as compounding the transgression.
Adam made the choice to eat the forbidden fruit after God told him bot to as Eve was deceived by the serpent. After Eve ate apple, Adam had a choice which way to go. He chose to go with her. God told Adam not to eat of the fruit.
At first glance, it appears that Adam and Eve were together when Eve interacted with the serpent and eventually ate from the forbidden fruit. Such a view, however, raises a problem: it implies that Adam would have watched everything without interfering to prevent Eve from being deceived by the serpent.
Some people claim that Adam and Eve ate a diet of mainly fruit with some herbs. Some further suppose these were all raw. I do not see this in the scriptural account. “Every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth,” would include fruit, vegetables, legumes, grains and other plant foods.
Actually Eve was deceived, Adam, who was with her during this time; Adam who received the commandment from God Himself, did not stop Eve from eating of the fruit. Adam committed the sin through willful disobedience, and tried to blame the woman for his deliberate act of rebellion.
No, menstruation isn't a consequence of Eve eating that fruit, nor is menstruation connected with Eve having increased pain in childbirth.
The person killed by God for not impregnating (specifically, for refusing to fulfill his duty to provide offspring for his deceased brother's wife) was Onan, a figure from the Old Testament (Genesis 38). God put him to death because Onan practiced withdrawal (spilling his seed on the ground) to prevent his sister-in-law, Tamar, from conceiving, which was considered wicked in the Lord's sight.
The Hebrew Bible doesn't actually specify what type of fruit Adam and Eve ate. “We don't know what it was. There's no indication it was an apple,” Rabbi Ari Zivotofsky, a professor of Brain Science at Israel's Bar-Ilan University, told Live Science.
What was God's original diet in the Garden of Eden? Genesis speaks of a diet of fruits, grains, nuts, and legumes. After sin God introduced the 'herb of the field' vegetables.
Eve herself is never explicitly told by God not to eat the fruit of the Tree. In Genesis 2, Adam is specifically commanded not to eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, but this occurs in the story before Eve even exists.
So, he lets them sin because he wants to support freedom, he wants us to have relationship with him, and it's not something that's going to thwart his purposes of bringing creation from good to perfect and complete and safe with him forever.
🔵 It is true that, chronologically, Eve sinned before Adam. She was tempted, picked the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and ate. After that, she gave the fruit to her husband, and he ate (Genesis 3:1–6). Yet the Bible places the blame on Adam as the one responsible for the fall of mankind.
The Biblical Origin of the Forbidden Fruit
Eve told the serpent that God had instructed them not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil or they would die. Looking at the allure of the fruit, Eve felt tempted. She took some of the fruit and ate it, despite God's commandment.
Adam would “become like God” if he ate it. Sadly, Adam believed this lie and chose to disobey God who had told him not to eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. This was the first sin and resulted in humanity falling from what we call Original Innocence.
As for Adam and his Wife, they were created immortal. It was the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil that gave them bodies of corruption (i.e., bodies that die). Both the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and the Tree of Life are a 'one shot deal'. In other words, they are designed only to be partaken of once.
God knew Eve would eat the apple before even creating Adam. Since God's judgement is perfect, Eve eating the apple was the best possible scenario. However, saying He created mankind to suffer is a stretch. He created us to glorify Him.
📖 In Leviticus 11, God clearly lays out dietary instructions — no pork 🐖, no shellfish 🦐, no scavenger birds 🦅, and no animals with paws 🐻🐇. But did you know the difference between prohibited foods and clean vs.
We have two types of fast. The one that pleases God known as the purifying fast, and the one that displeases God known as the wicked fast. Yes! there is something called wicked fast which powers of darkness embark on every now and then.
Given that Jesus was Jewish, we can safely assume that Jesus followed a kosher diet. So, that means no pork, no shellfish, and no mixing of meat and milk. Based on this, it's probable that Jesus ate bread, wine, olives, olive oil, lamb, fish, fruit, and herbs as staples in his diet.
God told them to populate the Earth. Adam and Eve would have had children, who presumably would have also had children and so on, regardless of whether or not they ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Yep, we would exist in the perfect plan God had for us before the fall.
The colloquial name is thought to come from a reference to the forbidden fruit being stuck in Adam's throat or perhaps a mistranslation of the Hebrew term for the structure described as “the swelling of a man.”[1] It is sometimes called a goozle in parts of the American South, playing on the verb "to guzzle."
The apple was what Adam and Eve ate when God cursed them. Genesis 2:16-17 says: “And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”
John was banished by the Roman authorities to the Greek island of Patmos, where, according to tradition, he wrote the Book of Revelation. According to Tertullian (in The Prescription of Heretics) John was banished (presumably to Patmos) after being plunged into boiling oil in Rome and suffering nothing from it.
Jesus speaks of forgiveness beyond what anyone had ever considered before: seventy times seven! Many commentaries understand this to mean that Jesus was telling Peter that he should forgive his brother a limitless number of times.
Genesis 38:9-10 New International Version (NIV)
But Onan knew that the child would not be his; so whenever he slept with his brother's wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from providing offspring for his brother. What he did was wicked in the LORD's sight; so the LORD put him to death also.
