Apples

Did you know that 90% of the world’s apples have been traced as beginning with two apple trees in Kazakhstan? Apples can taste like strawberries, popcorn, anise, and, well, apples! They are members of the rose family and the seeds contain cyanide.

A strange thing about them is that many people think that they are the forbidden fruit that Adam & Eve ate in the garden of Eden. However, God simply describes the fruit as the fruit of “...the tree of the knowledge of good and evil...” (Gen. 2:17; cf. 3:2-3). Of course, the seed of that fruit did contain poison -the poison of sin. By eating it, Adam & Eve brought curses upon humanity and set in motion a battle between good and evil, between us and God, and only God knew the remedy and was prepared to provide the antidote.

What follows is the greatest story ever told!!
