"And the Lord God commanded the man, saying,
'Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat;​
but of the tree of the Knowledge Of Good and Evil you shall not eat,​
for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.' ” Genesis 2:16-17 NKJV​

I refer to it as KOGE fruit, from the K.O.G.E. tree.
It is not one of our conventional fruits.

I voted fig tree, we know there was at least one of them there. Speaking of which, ever consider what a poor choice its leaves were for a covering? They itch like crazy!

Right! Further evidence of man's first bad decision post-fall. First of millions since, sigh...

What fruit do you believe is forbidden?
I'm not sure it could ever be a citrus since they have to be pealed.or any fruit that has to be pealed?

It is not on your list. The meaning is much more profound.

Whenever I have trouble understanding something in the Bible, I look for its opposite.

Study the Fruit on the Tree of Life and it will begin to reveal the answer.

Like this...

Revelation 22:2
"In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations."


The Tree of Life is a 'Her'. She gives 'Fruit' on a monthly period.

Do you understand?

Ooh, wow, I've seen those here building nests on my walls and doors. I spray them but a neighbor told me not to. I didn't want to find out if they bite besides their mud nests take the paint off the wood

No, i can't relate to what you are implying. We have no trees that bears 12 different fruits. That would be wonderful.
