The forbidden fruit of Eden....?

So we know that the forbidden fruit was not an apple. It would be more historically accurate for it to be a fig or pomegranate.





The actual question(s):





If it was a sin to eat this fruit then, why is it not now? Did the church ever have a rule about it?

The forbidden fruit of Eden....?
The fruit was used by God to test the obedience to his laws, his ruler-ship. Since we haven't been forbidden it, it either is because the fruit does not exist any longer, or more likely, because once disobedience had occurred, the fruit lost its value as a symbol of obedience.
Reply:it was called the fruit of knowledge, so God took all this knowledge and put it in me, see. So now you are able to eat everything you want, all the fruits are allowed, and if you want to ask any other questions, I will answer you, I have all the knowledge.
Reply:the fruit was innocence -- hence the fig leafs

Reply:Symbolic BS
Reply:It wasn't an actual tree. The tree was symbolic. The forbidden fruit was knowledge. Reading and writing, education.
Reply:the sin wasn't eating the fruit, but disobeying God's command. there was only one rule at that time- ''don't eat this''- but adam and eve broke that rule.





i read about the reason we always represent the fruit as an apple once, and it has something to do with the hebrew word used to describe the tree (''mollam,'' maybe?), which apparently sounds a lot like the hebrew word for ''apple.''
Reply:Because it never happened. Duh?
Reply:It's a metaphor for knowledge.


The message? "stay ignorant and stupid and religion will make sense to you".


Understand now?
Reply:because adam and eve ate all the bad one's ha ha.
