I am sure that in the story of Adam and Eve, the forbidden fruit was a fig and not an apple, pear or anything else.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Our Lord never condemned the fig tree because it brought forth so much fruit that some fell to the ground and spoiled. He only cursed it when it was barren.
And there never was an apple, in Adam's opinion, that wasn't worth the trouble you got into for eating it.
By the fruits which it bears is the tree known.
One that would have the fruit must climb the tree.
Fruits are always of the same nature with the seeds and roots from which they come, and trees are known by the fruits they bear: as a man begets a man, and a beast a beast, that society of men which constitutes a government upon the foundation of justice.
Did perpetual happiness in the Garden of Eden maybe get so boring that eating the apple was justified?
What is the most popular scene in the Bible? Adam and Eve biting the apple. It's not there.
Prohibition didn't work in the Garden of Eden. Adam ate the apple.
I'm just like you. I enjoy the forbidden fruits in life, too.
It has so happened in all ages of the world that some have labored, and others have, without labor, enjoyed a large proportion of the fruits.
