unyours: Firstly, if it is a fruit, how do you know the fruit is not existing? You thought so cos it actually was no fruit in the first place.
Secondly, 'Tree' there was a coded word for Lucifer. Lucifer knew what was good and evil. - He was the only being then that has tasted both.
Thirdly, it is impossible for God to create fruit that will alter the destiny of man cos he created man for a purpose - to live forever. So God won't on his own put a barrier to that - to test man or what? The bible said he created the universe and saw it was good and perfect - was the forbidden tree among the good and perfect things?
Lastly, God had created Lucifer before hand. Remember Lucifer was hurled down to earth because he rebelled. Hence the forbidden tree bearing forbidden fruit.

so, basically you're saying God created the garden and placed lucifer there.

unyours: Adam have named all tins before they ate the fruit, hence the fruit is suppose to have a name. So you mean God who inspired the bible does not know the name of the fruit? When even rivers then in Eden have names. How will God create a fruit that will cause trouble for mankind - have u ask ursef that? You wanted man to live forever yet you went to plant a bad tree in the middle of the garden. God wouldn't have done that cos it would be very easy someone would eat that fruit someday. Maybe through fruit dropping and mix up of fruit. God warned them to stay away from Lucifer - the forbidden fruit(from heaven). Remember when the bible said after God created the universe, he saw that it was good and perfect...then he instructed they shouldn't eat from a forbidden fruit - which I'm sure is not among what God said was good and perfect. Like I said before, fruit only nutrient but s.ex is a bond and that's why sin was transferable. Else, a normal fruit would either nourish you or kill you instantly(if poisonous).

danthamccoy:

Which gods? Which heathen? They were the only humans in the world, or in Eden at least.

Are you paying attention to that mad man?
Anybody who doesn't know his history but goes up to claim Jewish history as his own is a mad man we have them many on nairaland especially culture section
It's due to the lack of interest in African history by Africans, these morons wait for Aryans and Semites to do everything for them
