We don't. The Bible says nothing about what kind of fruit it was. The story of it being an apple is a myth. Furthermore, the Bible says the Lord placed an angel to guard the tree of life, so no one could eat from it. That would mean if that were also an apple tree, there would be angels guarding all the apple trees on earth so no one could eat from them! And imagine the price of apple juice, were that the case.
The origin of the apple is that the Greek goddess Hera had an orchard of apples, and was considered the earth mother. There may be some remnant of fact in this myth: the documents and evidences no longer exist.
Eve ate the apple in the Garden of Eden.
In the Bible, Adam did not specifically instruct Eve not to eat the apple. The serpent tempted Eve, and she ate the fruit, then gave some to Adam, who also ate it.
When Eve ate the apple.
Both ate the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil: a serpent tempted Eve who ate it first and then offered the forbidden fruit to Adam. But the bible never identifies that fruit as being an apple...
When Adam and Eve ate the apple.
It was Adam and Eve. They did a sin for eating that apple. God, not Jesus, said no. When they ate it, the Devil made it so that it started the whole "sin" thing.
Eve (it was a papaya)Additional information:Actually, the Bible doesn't say what kind of fruit it was...just 'fruit'(Genesis 3:2+6). Eve first ate the fruit, then gave some to her husband, Adam, who also ate. (Genesis 3:6+12)
Because Adam and Eve ate the apple and thereby got kicked out of paradise because they weren't "good" any longer.
A:The story of Adam and Eve gets simplified for young children, including the fruit they ate being described as an apple. However, the tree we find in the Bible is not an apple tree, it is the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, a common motif in ancient Near Eastern religions.When Adam and Eve ate the fruit, they became like gods (Genesis 3:22-23): "And the Lord God said, Behold the man has become as one of us, to know good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand and take also of the Tree of Life, and live forever: therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden." This is not what happens when you eat an apple!
They both ate the fruit. Eve was first, then she told Adam to eat the fruit also, and he agreed to.
Yes, Eve knew that she was not supposed to eat the apple when she was tempted by the serpent in the Garden of Eden.
Eve took fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of good & evil. Since there was only one such tree in the garden, it would not be a fruit we know. Artists painted the scene during the Renaissance, and depicted an apple, which lead to the common reference.
