Since eating an apple was the first sin, Biblically speaking, should we really be eating apples now?

    Who says it was an apple?

    The bible does not say it was an apple. It says a fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. It also says that God put angels with flaming swords to guard that tree so no one can eat of it again. So enjoy as many apples as you'd like.

    The first sin was disobedience, and the last sin will be disobedience. That is what all sin is. The apple, or whatever it was, was just a detail and has distracted most people from the real point.

    Apple is just interpretation put in by artists and poets for fruit, just like how they say angels have wings, because how else do they get down to Earth when you're thinking like a early human philosopher.

    WHERE does the Bible mention it was an apple? It says fruit and fruit in the Hebrew translates to sperma. The "serpent" was not a snake. It was satan himself called that because of his glistening and his hissing, whispering voice. Adam was not Cains father. Cains father was the wicked one, satan. Now, can you put two and two together?

    Eating the fruit was not the sin, disobedience was.

    I would not use any religious mumbo jumbo to dictate what I eat, but maybe the Chinese think it is biblically correct to eat snakes!

    that sin was gone, i mean, sins are not reflected on what we used, its reflected on the person. they had the sin, the apple does not! :)
