The tree of knowledge of good and evil is materialistic wisdom, it is earthly:

Jam 3:14

But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth.

Jam 3:15

This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic.

How did the lump come in your throat from Adam eating the apple from eve?

First off, who said Adam or Eve ate an apple? If you read the scripture it says they took and ate from the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil.

What is the tree of knowledge of good and evil?

This tree is from the Bible in Genesis and this tree was in the Garden of Eden, where Adam and Eve lived. God told them that if they ate the tree of knowledge of good and evil, they will surely die. Since they ate the fruit from that tree, they knew what was good and bad and disobeyed God. In my opinion and reading in the Bible The tree of the Knowlegde of good and evil represented an individual a person someone that was alive i will try to explain for example take the word knowledge it is something that you gain through understanding observing experiencing studying it is acheived by someone who is alive and has a mind' a tree does not have a mind and cannot comunicate so there for how could a tree gain knowledge (also this tree was not from The Almighty Creator because God is not evil;evil came from that devil satan) there are scriptures in the bible that explain God is a knowledgeable God. humans can attain knowledge animals do to in there unigue way all are living beings and creatures capable and able to communicate with one another.So the tree in the garden represented some family type unit or a group of beings meaning angel like creatures that had a plan and were knowledgeable. Remember Eve it doesnt seem like eve was shocked talking to a serpent or snake because it wasnt an animal.

What kind of tree were Adam and Eve not to eat from?

The fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Somehow this has in the popular imagination morphed into "an apple", though it probably wasn't. (The pomegranate has also been suggested; this is at least symbolically more fitting, because pomegranate juice looks like blood.) It's at least equally possible that it's some fruit that isn't known today because it only existed in the Garden (the Tree of Life is also mentioned, and it at least pretty clearly existed only in the Garden, since an angel with a flaming sword was set to guard it to prevent Adam and Eve from eating that too and gaining eternal life). According to some scholars, the particular fruit didn't matter and there was nothing "magic" or "spiritual" about it ... other than that it was the one fruit they were forbidden from eating. In this interpretation, the "knowledge of good and evil" obtained was not some intrinsic property of the fruit itself, but rather the knowledge that they had disobeyed God (and therefore done "evil").


Are witchcraft books evil?

It depends on the type of witchcraft you are referring to. There are so many different types of Witchcraft. A Witchcraft book is not necessorily evil. A book cannot be evil. It depends on how you are going to use the Witchcraft in that book. You cannot say a knife is evil or a Gun is evil The person who is holding the knife or gun could be evil or could be good. It depends on the intentions of the person who is using it. If you use the knowledge for good it is good. If you use that knoeledge for bad, that is evil.


What type of tree was the tree of knowledge of good and evil?

A:The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil was of course mythical. It was a common motif among the West Semitic nations of the ancient Near East. There are two views on the effect of eating its fruit: The person eating the fruit will understand the difference between good and evil, like a god.Since everything in the world is either good or evil (a rather simplistic view), the person eating the fruit will know everything there is to be known.Another Answer:The Bible is not specific as to its 'type' only that it was appealing to the human eye and bore edible fruit - so generally speaking it was a fruit tree.More importantly, as God gave the first two humans full run of the Garden of Paradise, which was in an ideal climate, He pointed out this tree to give them as a choice to either follow Him and His ways as He was teaching them assumingly or do their will/way which He would need to assist them with initially (fire, agriculture, etc) - free will in other words as He did not create automatons. Obviously they choose wrongly but God already knew they would and had a Plan of Salvation in place for all mankind.


What kind of fruit did Eve eat?

The exact type of fruit is unknown despite the popular notion of it being an apple. It is only referred to as the fruit of the 'tree of the knowledge of good and evil', and was good to look at and to taste. The idea that the fruit was an apple is first found in Christian sources. Jewish tradition states that the fruit was one of the following three items: grapes, wheat, or figs.


Is cannabis the tree of knowledge?

A:No. The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil was a mythical tree, as was the Tree of Life, the second forbidden tree. In fact, Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says that the Garden of Eden is a purely mythic place. The story originally had a moral purpose and was not intended to describe a blissful existence we once enjoyed but lost. Man's longing for immortality is a hidden theme. Another Answer:No. The inspired Word of God says there were 2 special trees in the Garden. It describes the fruit of the tree of knowledge was good for food and pleasing to the eye...(Genesis 3:6). The type of eatable fruit was not named though popular human thought has said this to be either an apple or pomergranate.As the Scripture does not elaborate more fully upon this fruit and the only eye witnesses to this event were the God Family and perhaps the spirit world, no human source can be emphatic on its non-existence.
