Romans 14: 5 Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
The world is more educated today and yet we still carry around teachings from times when people didn’t know how to read. So the forbidden fruit according to the world is an apple but in which world do we eat an apple and get knowledge and understanding? Let's go back to the beginning and see what the bible is really teaching.
Let's define knowledge
Knowledge - Knowledge means to understand something. People get knowledge through teachings and experience.
knowledge can not be obtained from eating a physical fruit. That is why we have all these schools and universities and in these educational systems there are teachers. I have many scriptures I can share but I will cut it short so that the thread isn't too long.
I want to focus on verse 9 where it states "out of the ground made god to grow every tree that is good for food". Pay attention to the semi colon, it separates the idea that the other two trees did not grow out of the ground. The bible was punctuated by man but in this case it is correct. Therefore the tree of life is not for physical food neither is the tree of knowledge of good and evil but rather they trees for spiritual food. One tree will teach you how to get eternal life and the other one would teach you how to die.
The very fact that it is called the tree of knowledge means you will learn something from this tree, no one has eaten anything to get knowledge, there is also nothing you can eat with your mouth to get eternal life. What people are missing is that Jesus often describe his creation as trees.
Let's progress this story.
Genesis 3: 1 - 11, 6 - 7, 11 - 13, 16 - 19, 22 - 24
3 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?
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
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.
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
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.
Okay let's start here because we need to understand simple metaphors even when used in the bible, so was Adam and Eve walking around this entire time with their eyes closed? Of course not the serpent is telling Eve she will understand.
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.
7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
Again I will ask the same thing were their eyes closed before they ate the fruit? No, they gained understanding which meant they were taught.
8 And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.
9 And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
This is the part that no one pays attention to. GOD asked Adam "who told you that you were naked" He did not asked what told him because fruits don't talk. The serpent taught them things just like how we teach our children things they did not know. In other words Satan taught Eve lies and she went and told her husband.
12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
Now Adam immediately throws Eve under a bus and he is saying Eve told her and he ate her words. Every time you ears hear something and you believe it you just consumed that person word.
13 And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
Satan tricked her into having a conversation with him.
16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
This is why the number one thing the bible warns about is false prophets. The tree of knowledge of good evil was none other than Satan himself, he was all up in Eve ears lying but a good liar always tell you some truth otherwise the lie won't sound believable.
22 And 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:
So Satan actually told the truth when he said you will be as gods knowing good and evil. Again a good liar always has to tell a fraction of the truth in order to destroy you with the lie because he lied when he said you shall not surely die. Guess what? Adam and Eve are both dead.
23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
Notice the cherubim's protect the way of the tree of life not the garden of Eden. The LORD is the tree of life that dwells in between the Cherubims. See 2 Kings 19: 15 and Psalm 99:1
Proverbs 18: 21
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
Life is on the Lord's tongue and death is on Satan tongue. Only Jesus has the words of eternal life that's what Adam and Eve needed to eat.
I said this already but listening to someone and believing what they have to say is the same as consuming words.
Job 34: 3
3 For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat.
Let's look at a conversation between Jesus and his disciples.
Notice how his followers were thinking fleshly just like how everyday people think when they assume Adam and Eve ate an apple even though the word apple never appeared in Genesis. Once Jesus realized they didn't understand he simply told them his words will give eternal life. If you want to live forever eat Christ's words
This should have been Adam and Eve's choice in the Garden of Eden but they ate Satan’s word instead. We have the opportunity to eat God’s words. All we need to do is read and believe what we read. Allow me to show this from the bible.
It's interesting how God told Ezekiel to open his mouth. The LORD is trying to teach us something here because every time we see the word "eat" we think of our bellies.
How do you eat a book? You read it! You consume more with your eyes and ears than you will ever consume with your mouth.
The angel told John to eat the book. Which simply means to read the book because now once he read it he will speak God's word but since don't nobody want to hear the true gospel it will make his belly bitter.
Jeremiah 15: 16
16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts.
Jeremiah ate God's word. Anyone who reads the bible and believe are people who eat God's word. It's funny how people are upset at Adam and Eve decision when we are all doing the same thing that they did. Consuming a bunch of lies, this is what Adam and Eve did in the garden of Eden.
Hosea 10: 13
13 Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.
This is the fruit that Adam and Eve ate in the garden of Eden. I pray you got some understanding, thank you for reading this post.

4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,
5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
8 And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9 And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
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.
5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.

Let's look at a conversation between Jesus and his disciples.
8 I am that bread of life.
49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?
63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

2 And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee.
2 And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me.
3 And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even unto this very day.
8 But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.
9 And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;
10 And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
2 And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me.

How do you eat a book? You read it! You consume more with your eyes and ears than you will ever consume with your mouth.
10 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,
8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.
9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.
10 And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,
8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.
9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.
10 And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
