I was thinking the other day about the tree of Knowledged that Eve decided to sample after being told to not do so.
Some have said the fruit was an Apple. I guess they took that thought from the old saying "an apple a day will keep the doctor away".
However, I have some different thoughts, and although none of us KNOW what the fruit was it is interesting to see different ideas and the reason behind them.
My first thought was it was a Fig tree because Adam and Eve used the fig leaves to cover themselves. Don't know if you have ever picked figs, but those are itchy trees at best.
My second thought was perhaps an Olive tree. Olives were used in the Tabernacle to make the oil for the lamps.
But my final thought was a Pomegranate tree. Reason: The High Priest wore the pomergranates on their robe. Solomon also had them in the design of his temple. Research is now saying Pomegranates are one of the healthiest fruit you can eat.
Now this thread is just for the fun of it, using our reasoning as to what we "think" COULD be the answer.
I can't wait to see your thoughts.
