THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT Or
THE ABOMNIBLE THING.

This subject il one OF the most
important points, not only for
the reader, but for the intire
human families, that is, to know
what the Forbidden Fruit was;
that Eve partook of. There has
been a great deal of speculation
and comment on this point.
Some say it was tree that
bore some kind of fruit, an apple
or Il peach. or some other kind OF
fruit: And others say, other
things, Our aim shall be to lay |
before our Readers such truths !,
from the Blessed Wora, tlat
enable them to Gee just what the
For oidden Fruit Was, and then
they will also see what the Abom'
Unable Thing was. Add ,norder
that we may do this, we shall
start with the language that was
given first on this point TO Ada IN
in the Garden. Please read.
And the Lord God commanded the man Fayil@
Of every tree OF the garden thou mayest freely
cat:
| Bat OF tho tree Of the knowledge OF good :,a
evil thou shalt not eat Of II; for in the day then
eaesst thereof thou shalt surely die
0en :->lt-I'
We suppose, the cause CT somc
thinking and saying that the For
Ridden Fruit was an Apple, Is,
because there is a tree spoken
of in the scripture above quoted
/ But when we 80 to reason on
this scripture, we learn this tree
was wise enough to know good
and evil; which we must acknow.
ledge, that no fruit tree never
had such knowledge, Therefore
We must look in q different di.
rection, to find character that
had the knowledge of good and
evil, God said to the man, that be
placed in the garden, In the
day thou eat thereof thou shall,
I surely die in this declaration
God laid down a death warrant
to this formed man, providing
that he should cat Of the FORBID
den Fruit.
It will be necessary for us tt
get some understanding of the
tire Of knowledge of good ant
evil: ip order to understand wha
the Forbidden Fruit vas. VI
have comprehended by the scrip
lures that men and people ha
i been called trees as it is written
, in this language
!, The trees went ,orth Oh II time to snoiu' hiu
over them; and they said unto the olive trt'
HYivu fhnu OyeY MS: ,]ulr Q--S
This scripture is positive proc
that people are called trees.
This then is a token OF th
~ truth that leads us to bellev
20 that the tree of knowledge
b good and evil was man. As pee
: pie at different times and Go
&c thru different writer's Gale
20 them trees. For you will Sc
= that Paul also called the lsrae
T.. lies the good Olive tree and til
B. Gentiles the wild Olive tree;
tv this language.
For II thou wcr. cut out of the olive tree VIII
is wild by nature aud wort graft I'd contrary
nature into GOOD olive tree how much lnt
shall these which he the natural branches
slune1 into their own olive tree: Rom. Ii
Now all that we will have to I
Is to prove that there was mo
pcople in the garden hesid
the Adam and Eve called tree
to understand, what the tree
knowledge Of good and evil ",
This VIC shall do by asking y
to read this scripture,
