Using context clues during bible study can develop critical thinking skills in the student. Does the traditional interpretation of the story of the apple as the forbidden fruit fit the context clues of Genesis 3:7?
Genesis 3:5-7
King James Version
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.
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.
Based on the text do you think they picked and apple, fig or another fruit.
