Fruit of Good and Evil

Labels: at 2/27/2008 03:07:00 PM

Forbidden fruit... What's that? That's a fruit that Adam and Eve ate at Eden which made them know everything they must not know... According to the bible, a serpent came to Eve and persuaded her to eat the fruit... Then, Eva told Adam and both of them ate it... After that, they realized that they were naked... They knew something they mustn't know...

Actually, the story is not that important... The much more important and interesting case is what the fruit was... An apple? An orange? A grape? A pomegranate? A banana? Or tomato?

Windi believes that the knowledge fruit is an apple...
Why?
He said (when we had a lunch in canteen 5 in a sunny Sunday afternoon), "We must eat apple for our intelligence, because this fruit is knowledge fruit..."
"Why?" I asked.
"Because... The fruit of knowledge is red..."
"Tomato is also red..."
"You know, Adam ate the fruit like this," he said while champing the apple, "You cannot treat tomato like this, right?"

Haha...
I just laughed...
he was so funny...
^^

Then, I checked in internet, what the fruit of knowledge was...

Some people say that it was an apple... A fruit of good and evil was an apple... It's because the Latin for apple is malus while the Latin for evil is malum... Do you see the connection?

Others say that it was a grape... Because it was said that Eve 'took from its fruit' not 'took the fruit'... So that, Eve took a bunch of grapes and made wine for Adam...

Then, another hypothesis: fig. Why? Because, after realizing that they were naked, Adam and Eve sewed themselves garments from fig's leaves. So, it is logical if they tried to reach anything nearest from them, right?

In recent years, we got a new hypothesis... It was a pomegranate?

Have another? Of course... They say it was a wheat, citron, etc, etc...

And how about another????
Banana?
Or chili?

Then, through Google, I saw an amazing answer...
Let me copy it...


It was SEX. Fruit is a metaphor for what happened in the Garden. The Serpent was a creature who walked upright as a man. He looked like a man. Eve had sex with the serpent, afterwards Adam also did. That is why she had one evil twin "Cain" and one good one Able. Able was Adam's son and Cain was the son of the serpent. After they "ate" they knew they were NAKED... why would eating an apple make you realize you were naked? Also, after God spoke to them about what they had done, Eve was told "in pain she would bring forth children." The serpent was cursed to crawl on the ground from that day on. What kind of curse would it be to just make a SNAKE, who already crawled on its stomach on the ground, CRAWL on the ground. Research Serpent Seed online.

Then, which one do you agree with?
It's up to you...

U're the best I've ever had
