What is the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil?

God set 2 trees in the garden of eden. One the tree of Life and the other the tree of knowledge of good and evil...





Gen 2:9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.





Tree of Life...





Pro 3:13 ¶ Happy [is] the man [that] findeth wisdom, and the man [that] getteth understanding.





Pro 3:14 For the merchandise of it [is] better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.





Pro 3:15 She [is] more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.





Pro 3:16 Length of days [is] in her right hand; [and] in her left hand riches and honour.





Pro 3:17 Her ways [are] ways of pleasantness, and all her paths [are] peace.





Pro 3:18 She [is] a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy [is every one] that retaineth her.


***


Pro 11:30 The fruit of the righteous [is] a tree of life; and he that winneth souls [is] wise.


***


Pro 13:12 Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but [when] the desire cometh, [it is] a tree of life.


***


Pro 15:4 A wholesome tongue [is] a tree of life: but perverseness therein [is] a breach in the spirit.


***


Rev 2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.


***


So they took and ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil...





Gen 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree [was] good for food, and that it [was] pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make [one] wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.


***


fruit (english) = pĕriy (hebrew)





1) fruit


a) fruit, produce (of the ground)


b) fruit, offspring, children, progeny (of the womb)


c) fruit (of actions) (fig.)


***


Good fruit...





Pro 10:16 The labour of the righteous [tendeth] to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.


***


Pro 12:12 The wicked desireth the net of evil [men]: but the root of the righteous yieldeth [fruit].


***


Pro 13:2 A man shall eat good by the fruit of [his] mouth: but the soul of the transgressors [shall eat] violence.


***


Pro 18:21 Death and life [are] in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.


***


Isa 3:10 Say ye to the righteous, that [it shall be] well [with him]: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.


***





My question is this... What actually was the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil?

What is the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil?
What was the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the garden?





Was it an apple?





Gen 2:9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the TREE of LIFE also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. In the garden there was a tree of life.





Adam and Eve ate of the tree knowledge of good and evil it’s fruit the FRUIT of DEATH.





DEATH was its fruit along with all its pain and suffering.





There is a remedy for death. The remedy is found only in the Word of God





The bible tells us that Love is as strong as death. Songs 8:6 Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for LOVE is as STRONG as DEATH; JEALOUSY is CRUEL as the GRAVE: the coals thereof are coals of FIRE, which hath a most vehement FLAME.





Only the LOVE of GOD can over-power DEATH.





Exo 20:5 ………………for I the LORD thy God am a…. JEALOUS… GOD, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;





LOVE is why God manifested Himself in the flesh......as JESUS.





His Word literally became flesh and we beheld His glory as the only begotten son of God.





In the garden when they came for Jesus He stepped forward knowing all things that should befall Him beforehand and said I am he.





Jesus knew they would rip His beard off just like an animal that is skinned. Jesus knew they would drive the crown of thorns in His head. Jesus knew they would curse, mock and spit on him. Jesus knew He would be suspended between heaven and earth naked for all to see. Jesus knew He would know the pain and agony of death because Adam and Eve ate the fruit of death.





Only because of Jesus great love for us did He willingly lay down His life and allow His blood to be spilled. Now He has the keys to death, hell, and the grave.





Now all we have to do TO BE SAVED is OBEY Peter’s preaching.





Peter was the only one that Jesus gave the keys to the kingdom of heaven.





Mat 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.





On the day of Pentecost we find that Peter was the first disciple to preach after Jesus was ascended to heaven.





Why was he chosen that day to preach?





Because He had the KEYS.





Jesus told His disciples….to teach…. Mat 28:20 Teaching them to observe ALL THINGS whatsoever I have COMMANDED you………….





JESUS COMMAND was PETER'S COMMAND to us..





If you want to go to heaven and eat of the tree of life obey Peter's words found in Acts 2:38-39 so your sins will be remitted and receive the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues just like folks did in the bible.





Act 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, REPENT, and be BAPTIZED every one of you in the NAME of Jesus Christ for the REMISSION of SINS, and ye SHALL RECEIVE the GIFT of the Holy Ghost.


Act 2:39 For the PROMISE is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, EVEN AS MANY as the Lord our God shall call.


Act 2:40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, SAVE YOURSELFS from this untoward generation.


Act 2:41 Then they that GLADLY RECEIVED his word were BAPTIZED: and the same day there were ADDED unto them about three thousand souls.


Act 2:42 And they CONTINUED stedfastly in the apostles' DOCTRINE and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. (doctrine defined: TEACHINGS )





This is the Promise. This is the Comforter. This is the Love of God. This is the peace. This is the joy unspeakable and full of joy. This is the life and more abundant life Jesus came to give us.





Choose you today death or life.





Just as Adam and Eve had a choice to eat or not eat of the tree of knowledge you have a choice to eat of the tree of life and live.





You can choose not to repent but where is remission of sins then?





You can choose not to be Baptised in Jesus NAME...but where is remission of sins then?





You can choose not to receive the GIFT of the HOLY GHOST evidenced by speaking in tongues as the Spirt of God gives the utterance.





Then how else according to the bible can you receive it?





Jesus said: John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.





When we were born as a little baby we came out of our mother's womb covered with water and blood. Then God breath came in us and we lived.





When you repent and are baptized in water.... " again you are covered in water" ...in Jesus name ....." and then the BLOOD is applied." Then God has promised to give you LIFE the infilling and baptism of His Sprit.





This and only this is the born again experince. This and only this is the new birth.





Choose to live and not to die.
Reply:I don't think anybody knows... most people assume it is an apple but maybe God doesn't want us to know because if he didn't want Adam and Eve to eat it, he must not want us to either.
Reply:the light is the fruit of knowledge and goodness, and the darkness is the fruit of evil
Reply:Conscience.
Reply:Evil is illusion. It gives the appearance of being edible, but gives no sustenace. An example is how advertizers promote junk food. Another is microwaved food. If you give a young plant microwaved water, in 9 days it will be dead and shriveled up. If we exclusively eat microwaved food, we will do the same, but people don't want to believe that because they trust in the the EPA to research it for them.





So, listening to God will give you God's will, listening to any other source will keep you in illusion.
Reply:Well, sure, I mean 'the fruit' is not literally the apple, and knowing in consciousness that it is metaphorical or allegorical helps us to believe where the social iniquities leave their unsavory tension known as free will, or karma.


I think that the first principle of God's revelation to mankind was obviously shame. The shame of the body is a damning of our physical form, which is a temple or the ark of the One God, the Supreme Being, is the voice of the gift that speaks to us out of our likeness to Him or She.
Reply:In Judaism





"According to the Jewish tradition God commanded Adam and Eve not to eat from the tree that was to give free choice and allow them to earn, as opposed to receive, absolute perfection and intimate communion with God at a higher level than the one on which they were created. According to this tradition, Adam and Eve would have attained absolute perfection and retained divinity had they succeeded in withstanding the temptation to eat from the Tree. After failing at this task, they were condemned to a period of toil to rectify the fallen universe. Jewish tradition views the serpent, and sometimes the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil itself, as representatives of the struggles of man."





"Judaism generally recognizes no "evil" other than the evil actions of human beings. Eve's only transgression was that she disobeyed God's order. Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden and had to live ordinary, human lives. Had they never eaten from the forbidden tree, they would never have discovered their capacity to act with free will."





"Rabbi David Fohrman of the Hoffberger Foundation for Torah Studies, citing Maimoniedes' Guide for the Perplexed, states that "the tree did not give us moral awareness when we had none before. Rather, it transformed this awareness from one kind into another." After eating from the Tree, humanity's innate sense of moral awareness was transformed from concepts of true and false to concepts of good and evil. Genesis describes the tree as desirable (3:5), and our concepts of good and evil, unlike our concepts of true and false, also have an implicit measure of desire."





"In Christian theology, the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil is connected to the doctrine of original sin. Augustine of Hippo believed that humanity inherited sin itself and the guilt for Adam and Eve's sin.[2] By eating of the fruit of the Tree, Adam and Eve sought to be like God. For a debate about the Western doctrine of original sin and the Eastern doctrine of ancestral sin, see [3] There is a minority of Christians that affirm the doctrine of Pelagianism, which believes every individual faces the same choice between sin and salvation that Adam and Eve faced."

Blueberries!





"Researchers at the USDA Human Nutrition Center (HNRCA) have found that blueberries rank #1 in antioxidant activity when compared to 40 other fresh fruits and vegetables. Antioxidants help neutralize harmful by-products of metabolism called "free radicals" that can lead to cancer and other age related diseases."

Reply:Oranges. Lots of vitamin C which help fight infections.
Reply:An apple is a very healthy friut to eat it has a lack of protien. Like vitaim a,c and d
Reply:Oranges are a good source of the vitamins inositol and vitamin C. As well as, of the mineral potassium. Inositol is involved in controlling the amount of calcium, the break down of fats and reducing blood cholesterol among other functions. Potassium assists in muscle contraction and in maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance in body cells. Potassium is also important in sending nerve impulses as well as releasing energy from protein, fat, and carbohydrates during metabolism. A deficiency of this mineral can cause muscle weakness, paralytic ileus, ECG abnormalities, decreased reflex response, and in severe form respiratory paralysis and alkalosis and arrhythmia.


Research has indicated that diets high in potassium can reduce the risk of hypertension. Some people with kidney disease are advised to avoid large quantities of dietary potassium.








Bananas are a good source of vitamin B6 and the minerals manganese and potassium. Note: At high levels manganese can cause damage to the brain, liver, kidneys, and the developing fetus. Its biological role is to serve as a cofactor to many different enzymes.
Reply:Me. I am a fruit salad. Did u see myquestion? Just posted.
Reply:apple lot's of fiber
Reply:Bananas because they have lots of folic acid and I hear that folic acid is VERY good for your body!!! PLUS I love them... yum, yum!!
Reply:well all fruit is healthy. some people get the misconception that they can eat fruit whenever they want because its healthy, but you really shouldnt. most fruits have high, naturally occuring sugars, so it would be best eat fruit in the morning or during lunch. i wouldnt eat fruit after about 6 PM or about 5 hrs before bedtime because of the high sugar levels. but overall, all fruit is very healthy and natural to eat in moderation.

Fruit ! ! ! !?
Fruit Pizza, Baked Apples, Apple Smiles, Jello Salad, and Nectarines dipped in Powdered Sugar are all delicious!! I listed websites for the fruit pizza and baked apples. You can also add marshmallows or raisins to the baked apples. Apple smiles are just apple slices with peanut butter and marshmallows so they look like smiles! Jello Salad is just any flavor jello with fruit in it. Add it when it is partially set. The nectarines are pretty self explanatory- it was one of my favorite snacks as a kid!
Reply:use softened cream cheese and marshmallow fluff. mix together and serve with stawberries and pineapple

Fruit?????

can dogs eat fruit like apples, grapes or what fruit can they eat

Fruit?????
Grapes and raisins are extremely bad for for dogs. They can cause kidney failure in dogs. As little as a single serving of raisins can kill a dog.





Apples are find as long you make the sure dog doesn't at any seeds. The seeds of these fruits contain cyanide, which is poisonous to dogs as well as humans. Unlike humans, dogs do not know to stop eating at the core/pit and easily ingest them.





I'm adding a link to foods that your dog should not eat since there are too many to list, and this way, you can print it out if you like and keep it on the fridge if you want :-)
Reply:I'ts true grapes and raisons can cause kidney failure in dogs, Chocolat can lso kill a dog if the dog eats it . My best friend's dog died of kidney failure because his dog got into a container of raisons while they were away. Report It

Reply:i think dogs can eat apples


i luv green apples Report It

Reply:it depends on the fruit. like some dogs likes grapes. and apples are too rough for them. just try the fruit to see if he or she will eat it.
Reply:My dog loves many different kinds of fruits and veggies, raw and cooked! They're good for humans and just as good for dogs!
Reply:Dogs eat cat turds. Helll yea they can eat fruit.
Reply:yes they can eat both fruit and vegetables. my dogs love them but here is a list our doc. told us they should not have. onions, grapes, raisins, chocolate, garlic.
Reply:it will be fruit dog
Reply:i feed my dog apples from time to time.it's the only fruit he eats.it contains vitamines...so that can't be bad can it?
Reply:i donno, but i have one that doesn't eat raw fish
Reply:DOGS WILL EAT ANYTHING. MY DOG EATS APPLES THAT FALL FROM AN APPLE TREE IN MY BACK YARD. SHE LOVES THEM. SHE HASN'T GOTTEN SICK FROM IT.
Reply:DEFINITELY!! my dog loves CANTALOUPE!! :)
Reply:Yes i feed my dogs fruit all the time it wont hurt them or anything but dont feed them prunes it gives them gas
Reply:yes they can,


im not sure if they would like it though.





if they're really hungry they'll eat anytihng though.





my dog once ate toilet paper
Reply:No you should not feed a dog human food period.
Reply:Yes they can! In fact fruits and vegetables are good for their health %26amp; also softens the stool. I feed mine with carrots %26amp; cabbage too! He loves it!
Reply:Any thing but grapes I guess, I feed my rottweilers carrots, and watermelon.
Reply:I've seen dogs eat fruit and vegtables and on occasion it is probably okay. However, it tends to give them a bad case of the squirts.
Reply:Yes dogs can eat fruit. My dog tries to eat grapes but they just seem to roll around in her mouth. I don't think she wants to bite them because of the juice. It's hilarious.
Reply:i would definately not feed any dog fruit, some fruits have a certain toxin/chemical that dogs bodies cannot handle!





NO GRAPES... this will cause congestive heart failure and kidney failure...





when you own a dog, you should not feed them people food (chicken, rice, cheese are fine in small portions) but stick to mainly dog food and treats... some foods can really harm their organs or digestive system... the smallest thing you have to worry about is diarrhea but the worst are listed above... if you have any questions on your dogs health, talk to your local vet and they will be able to help you more than some people on here... you never know if someone is making something up so never take that chance!!!


Talk to your vet...

have a good day and good luck...
Reply:You can, but all the sugar in fruits is not good for their tum-tum. A lot of fruits like pineapples, oranges, even grapes also have acid in them so I'd stay away from those too. I think apples would be okay in moderation.
Reply:Sure, my Rex loves slices of granny smith apples, not too much too often though. Some people say never give them people food, but what did dogs used to eat before there was dog food.........they used to eat left overs from our tables. People seem to forget that before all this fancy smancy specialty dog food came out dogs ate right from our hands. And yes, I know that this is better for them and dogs are living longer because of of the specialty dog food, all I'm saying is use your brain there wasn't always dog food
Reply:No grapes or raisins (causes kidney failure). Other than that they can eat all your normal fruit like apples, oranges, bananas, pears etc. I don't know about pineapple but I would say avoid it just in case.
Reply:Sure
Reply:A dog can eat raw fruit and veggies they will eat what they like but it doesn't do there bodies any harm actually it's better for them it does the same for them as it does for our bodies so feed away my dogs like Banana and grapes but don't feed them the pips or stones!
Reply:it depends on the dogs i know someone where there will eat any fruits that are sweet like strawberries,grapes and oranges but he won't eat any sour fruits like lemons or limes.So what i would try is put some fruit in font of him/she and see what he eats.
Reply:someone tolsd me gtrapes are bad, but to be honest I never looked it up.
Reply:Yes. Fruit is fine for dogs they need nutrients just like we do. Veggies are also good especially carrots. most dog food lacks betacarrotine.
Reply:no i dont think they are supposed to but they like cheese dont give them a lot
Reply:I've heard that onions and grapes are bad for dogs. But....my ding-a-ling doberman ate every peach that fell from the peach tree last summer! :-)
Reply:Some like fruit, some don't. It won't harm them in small quantities. Dogs create their own vitamin C, so it's not the end of the world if they don't like to eat it.
Reply:I feed my dog fruits and veggies - just not a lot of them. The are high in natural sugars. I had a dog once who had liver problems and had trouble processing protein. I had to supplement her diet with fruits and veggies, all approved by the vet. The only thing he warned me was, especially with carrots, the high sugar content and the possibility of diabetes in canines. Something to think about.
Reply:They can eat anything they enjoy. My last dog loved fruit but my present dog only likes veggies. Fruit and veggies round out their diet.


Fruit......?

Does fruit make you put on weight?


Is the calories and carbs in fruit bad for you?


What fruits are there that dont have many carbs or cals?


Im trying to lose 10-13kgs in 2-3weeks!


ive herd you can

Fruit......?
Fruits are wonderful to you and your body. They are full of much needed nutrients, and they make you feel full.





Take apple for example. They are completely healthy, and only 81 calories for a medium sized one. That's really good. It also has fiber, which helps you to stay full for longer. If you eat half an apple or a handful of nuts before you eat a meal, you will feel less hungry, and therefore, eat less calories in the longrun.





Peaches are like 40 calories each. Bananas are about 110, I believe. Watermelon is VERY low calorie, because it is water based. Grapes are usually around 5 calories each. Go to calorie-count.com. You can look up every fruit imaginable.





Basically, what I'm trying to say is that a diet consisted of mainly fruits, veggies (also extremely low cal. Lettuce is 20 calories for a cup. Pickles are five cal each. Celery is the lowest cal thing in exsistence besides water it seems.) and lean meat/protein will make you lose weight.





Good luck! If you need any help (what can I say, I'm a diet/health nerd), feel free to message me. ;)
Reply:a lot of weight for two weeks....................


fruit is low cal
Reply:well i dont no about fruit but i do no that if u eat celery its like eatinf water u literally burn of the calories eating it
Reply:fruits like berries are better for you because they have lower amounts of sugar.





fruits like pineapple, watermelon, and other sweet ones are worse off for a weight loss diet.





but you can eat any fruit in moderation - except maybe dates... they have a high glycemic index, higher than a baguette.


Fruit...........?

So i got this fruit platter from a chinese resturant and it had fruits in it you wouldn't think to be in it. Anyways i came across this one piece of fruit that has a white inside, i would tell you the color of the outside but it was skinned, it looked like a grape when u take the skin off but tasted nothing like one unless it was a white grape and its as small as a grape and had the pit or seed missing from it..... anyways my question is.... what fruit has a white inside and if you give me a link to where you found it that would be nice.

Fruit...........?
I think what you had might have been dragon eye, a very asian fruit. It's reasonable that they can be offered in a Chinese restaurant. Don't know whether I'm right, although they are small as grapes and have potato white color inside.





Cheers
