The Fruit Of The Tree Of Knowledge Of Good And Evil; Was It Really An Apple? by MrAladin: 8:42am On Jul 17, 2016
The book of Genesis never identified the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.(Genesis 2:17) as an apple.

The popular notion that the fruit was an apple is a result of the Latin translation of the bible in Vulgate.

The Latin word for "evil" is malus and the word for "apple" is malum; "apple tree is also malus. The word malum appears in the vulgate translation of genesis In the phrase. the tree of knowledge of good and evil"
All readers began began associating the apple with tree eaten by eve.
happy sunday

It's The Breath of God in you, that is, your Conscience. Adam and Eve misused it, disobeyed simple Instructions and died.
