The quote is taken from Genesis, the first book of the Holy Bible, in which God gives mankind, i.e. Adam and Eve, domination over every living thing on, and Earth itself. The one forbidden item is the fruit of one tree in the Garden of Eden, and the couple are told specifically not to partake of it. When they do, they lose everything, are sent out of the Garden, and spend the rest of their lives working to survive, like every other creature. And, they learn about good and evil and worse-yet, have to choose between the two, which many might consider a form of death.

If God punishes us for a sin while we are living does he still judge us and possibly punish us again for the same sin when we die.. double jeopardy?

God has already punished us for all our sins, as we are the children of Adam, to whom God said, re the fruit of the tree of good and evil - "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." (Genesis2.17) So this curse of God is upon us all as a final punishment, but Jesus Christ has taken this curse upon himself on the cross, if we believe ir, and given us eternal life; which means no punishment for all our sins.

For pride is the beginning of sin, and he that hath it shall pour out abomination: and therefore the Lord brought upon them strange calamities, and overthrew them utterly.

Why was it Adam's failure that was so decisive for humanity rather than eve's eating of the forbiden fruit?

Because he was created first and the instructions were given to him. In Genesis 2:16,17 it reads: And Jehovah God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. That's why Romans 5:12 it says: "That is why, just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because they had all sinned-." We die because of the sin that Adam passed unto us.

Is it true that the apple has nothing to do with Adam and Eve?

Yes. A) The fruit is not named. We do not know what sort it was, but it wasn't stated to be an apple B) The disobedience of their action is what was at issue. Gen 2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: Gen 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Gen 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? Gen 3:2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: Gen 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. Gen 3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: Gen 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing 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.
