Epistemology is the branch of philosophy that deals with the theory of knowledge, including the nature, origins, and limits of knowledge. It examines questions about what knowledge is, how it is acquired, and how we can know what we claim to know.


What did eating the fruit give to Adam and Eve?

It gave them eventual death, which is exactly what Jehovah God said would happen. (Genesis 2:17; 3:3) It also left them imperfect and sinful, & it was then that they decided to have children, which is why everyone after them is sinful as well. (Romans 5:12 & 14) However, Jesus giving his life as a sacrifice enabled mankind to have a chance at living eternally, if they exercised faith in that sacrifice. (John 3:16; Romans 5:18) (New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures)

According to the kjv of the bible there two trees in eden the tree of good and evil and the tree of life what were their purpose?

The tree of the knowledge represented the knowledge of sin, and the tree of life leads to eternal life .Gen 3:22 - 23And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is 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 eat, and live for ever:Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.Rev 2:7He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.Rev 22:1 - 4And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.----------------------------One of the first commandments which the Lord gave to our first patents was "To multiply and replenish the earth". This they were unable to do unless they used their agency. For they knew neither good nor evil.To be able to do this they had to be tempted, and this could only be done by a fallen one, one who was cast out of heaven to roam the earth tempting man. This fallen one was Satan.He was cast out of heaven without a body, so to be able to temp Adam and Eve he had to use somebody or some creature which had a body. He chose the serpent to represent him, there being no other person upon the face of the earth. The serpent was easily swayed to represent Satan and do his bidding. (Remember that Adam and Eve and all the animals could communicate with each other, they all had a common language).Having been commanded by the Lord not to eat of the tree of good and evil lest they should die in their sin, The Lord added that they might choose for themselves. This then turned the commandment into a transgression of the law rather than a sin.Having been tempted by the serpent to partake of the fruit of the tree of Good and Evil, Eve could see the wisdom in doing so, so that children might be born to her and Adam. Therefor fulfilling the Lords commandment. Adam saw the wisdom in this transgression "So that man might be".Satan had knowledge of Gods plan for Adam and Eve, but he lacked wisdom. If he had tempted them to partake of the Tree of Life, and they had done so, then tempted them to partake of the Tree of Good and Evil, they would have lived forever in their sins and the Lords plan would have failed, Satan would have won. and the Lords atonement would have had no effect.Some have said that Adam and Eve should not have sinned, and having not done so would have remained happy in the Garden of Eden. Those having so said have not realized that they would not have been born to have made such a statement.God knew just what Adam and Eve would do, for he knew them before He placed them upon the earth. He also knew Satan and that he would make the mistake of tempting our first parents to partake of the Tree of Good and Evil first. Just as Adam and Eve had to make a choice so did Satan.

Did Adam Know Good?

Yes Adam kn ew only good in the garden of Eden, he met god every evening, until he ate the fruit and sinned.AnswerAccording to Genesis 3 v. 5 the serpent temps Eve by saying "... God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as God, knowing good and evil."

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.


Why didn't God let Adam and Eve know of the existence of Satan for future reference before Eve was tempted by the tree of knowledge and it's fruit?

Because the Bible is a fiction.


What does the fruit symbolize in the second creation story?

A:The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil was of course mythical. There are two views on the symbolism of 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.


What is the name of the apple which Adam ate?

The Bible refers to it as "the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil," or "the forbidden fruit." (Genesis 2 and 3) The tree itself is also referred to as the "tree of life." We don't know if it was actually an apple at all.


Did Adam and Eve eat a fig?

Another answer from our community:It can be assumed since they covered themselves in fig leaves, but it is never made certain. We can know for certain what fruit Adam & Eve ate.Gen.3:7 tells us what the fruit was that Adam & Eve ate after they eat the fruit they cover with fig leaves. Therefore if they cover w/ fig leaves that means they ate a fig. Fig leaves grow on a fig tree if a tree has fig leaves the tree will grow fig leaves. Adam & Eve ate a fig not an apple.


Why was the Tree of Knowledge given that particular name by God?

A:Giving the tree its full name, it was the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, and was well known in ancient Near Eastern mythology. Some say the fruit of this mythic tree gave insight into what was right and wrong, knowledge otherwise only known to the gods. Others say that to the ancients, everything in the world was either good or evil, so to eat this fruit was to know everything. Either way, Genesis 3:22 says that by eating the fruit of this tree, Adam became god-like: "now the man is become like one of us."

Why did eve never died after she ate the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil?

Her death is never recorded. Also, she is never commanded not to eat the fruit, that was Adam, and therefore was not directly subjected to the penalty of death for disobeying God. The only effects to her from the fall that we know is pain in child birth, but that may be collateral damage caused by Adam, since it is his seed in her and all creation fell through of him.


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").
