I don't know you, and I realize you don't know me. However, I have an answer to your question about the apple. First off, God had designed a path for Adam and Eve, and He wanted to see whether they would choose to follow it. Therefore,He chose this tree as the one tree in which to forbid them from taking of it as a way of seeing their choice. Also, the reason God chose this particular tree was because, really, to begin with, God didn't exactly want to know the good and evil that He did and does and that we know today. Therefore, as a result of this sin, some of today's Christians think of the apple as a symbol of sin due to the fact that the apple is believed to have been the fruit the grew on that tree.

Listen to "keith greens" famous song: "Jesus commands us
to go."
Forced in new world order, a system where every man must receive a barcode and be labelled by that
.
I am surely no equal to Jesus. He was perfect and is my exemplar. I try to follow his teaching as well as any imperfect human can. With that let me use this little scenerio to illustrate a point.
I have hot water heating where I live. And it doesnt cost me a thing.
However I see an ad for a room heater. One that heats a room comfortably with radiant heat (not forced heated air)It is so safe , a person can leave papers on it without combusting. Your pet can lay on top of it when it is running at the highest temp and not get one hair singed. It is so safe you can leave it unattended. The most alluring feature is that it cuts heating costs sometimes up to 50%. With just a minor cost in use of electricity.
So if I buy this for a minimal cost, will it benefit me as it advertises? Well considering the fact that it will give me comfortable safe heat at a minimal increase in my electrical bill. Maybe?.
After reading the scenerio you probably concluded," How stupid could one person be. To even consider the thought that they would benefit."
My point of this illustration. Your conclusion and how you came to it.
Your conclusion by way of reasoning is that to make such a purchase with the fact that," I do not have to pay for heat of any source" and allowing that fact to be clouded out by (the ads promotion) someones suggestion, would be stupid.
In the same way by reasoning with the scriptures we can come to accurate knowledge. John 17:3 clearly states," This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ."
If you reason with this scripture you clearly see it identifies two distinct individuals. Jehovah the true God sending his son Jesus Christ to sanctify Gods Holy name and preach the good news of Jehovah's coming kingdom.
In Bible language, “stupid ones” refers, not to those who lack intelligence, but to those who ignore the wise counsel from God’s Word. We should take in consideration what the Bible teaches us “He that is walking with wise persons will become wise, but he that is having dealings with the stupid ones will fare badly.”— PROVERBS 13:20.
There are those who refuse to except this name because of lack of knowledge or blind faith from following the unfounded teaching of (stupid ones) others.
This very scripture ( Ps 83:18), taken from the earliest publication of King James (1611) was translated from the actual Hebrew scriptures containing Gods true name,"JEHOVAH". If this is not factual or is not truth, why enter it at all. Does'nt that sound reasonable?
