ok, sorry, so if it isnt an apple then what is it iyo
IT...was the fruit of taking within oneself, that which is Against God.
In the beginning, The Voice of God (God Himself) was present with Adam. Man and woman whom God called Adam.
Gen 5
[
2] Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called
their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
God was teaching and directing Adam with ONLY GOOD "fruit" for them to TAKE into themselves, for a GOOD benefit for them.
However Before mankind, there were created holy Angels, and ONE inparticular Angel was given Great Beauty, and Great Talent, and Great Power...and "that Angel" used his attributes to Influence other "holy Angels", resulting in them being cast Down;
From their Heavenly Estate, To Earth.
Earth is the Estate of Human men.
Earthly men are born in sin, and commit sin, which is to say: they are naturally born, without knowledge of God, or love toward God, AND have an Adversary of God, whose desire is to influence earthly men to Reject God and Accept him.
Thus the "FRUIT" of man hinges on what the man IS WILLING to:
Hear, Learn, Believe, Trust, Accept, and Commit to.
It is a JOURNEY for every individual person.
And Every single individual person....WILL experience Internal Conflict "within" themselves....
MEANING:
Every earthly person;
Has a BRAIN, and that Brain is designed to Process what it hears and learns, and conclude: through:
"Guessing, Logic, most sensible, weighing to CONCLUDE...what the "MINDS THOUGHTS", shall TRUST to Believe.
However, every individual person ALSO has a "natural spirit", which simply IS: the persons THOUGHTS in their "HEART".
Which is to say: THAT is where a persons Absolute TRUTH IS.
Every person experiences CONFLICT within themselves;
When the Heart KNOWS the Truth,
And the Mind (also KNOWS the Truth), but the Mouth speaks, and the persons Actions are from the Deception of the Mind.
The knowledge given in Genesis IS a Foreshadow;
Earthly men WILL have Conflict within themselves.
Earthly men have the Liberty of Choice.
Earthly men have a Choice, of WHERE they get their information and Knowledge.
Earthly men can Expect the Consequence revealed, For their Choices.
God instructed Adam:
Eat from every tree in the Garden:
EXCEPT: the tree of good "AND evil".
ONE "probation".
Gen 2: 17
And the consequence IF Adam should eat of THAT tree.
The Tree of LIFE was also in the Garden.
A Tree Adam DID NOT EAT From, While he was IN the Garden.
Gen 3:22
Later we learn 'the TREE of LIFE", IS the Fruit of Gods Knowledge of Truth; that should a man Eat, consume, ingest within himself, that that mans Consequence Shall be eternal LIFE.
So...the Fruit is NOT an apple, orange, lemon or physical Fruit, but rather a man taking WITHIN himself the Truthful Knowledge of Gods Word.
We take within ourselves Knowlege through Hearing....You can't UNHEAR, what you HAVE heard. You can simply use your Liberty to BELIEVE and TRUST what you HEAR...or Not.
Glory to Good,
Taken
