ADAM AND EVE DID NOT EAT THE APPLE

ON TODAY’S SECRET

Have you read the story about how man sinned and was sent out of the Garden of Eden? If I asked “who is to blame?”, the guys would most likely blame Eve, while the ladies would blame the devil…or Adam himself for agreeing to eat the fruit given to him by his wife. Well whoever you choose to point your accusing finger at is not our concern for today. What is, is the fact that contrary to what many of us believe;
ADAM AND EVE DID NOT EAT THE APPLE

How was the earth created? Who made the first man? Who made the person that made the first man? You see, I can’t answer the last question but what I can tell you for sure is that man did not self-evolve from some weird tree jumping, banana eating monkeys. God created the heavens and the earth and everything in them (Genesis 1:1). After which He made man on the sixth day and rested on the seventh (I’m sure we all know this). When God made man, He gave him dominion over everything on earth and instructed him to eat of every tree except for one; the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 2:17).


The bible tells us about how God regularly came to fellowship with Adam and Eve in the cool of the evening because they were close buddies and stuff. One day the serpent came to Eve when Adam was away and convinced her to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and she ate. On Adam’s return, Eve massaged him (Lol) and made him eat the same fruit. Immediately, their eyes were open and they saw they were naked (Genesis 3:1-7).  You know what happened after this. Now I know you are thinking “but you said they didn’t eat the apple”, NO they didn’t eat any apple! The bible never said the fruit was an apple, it only says it was of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, not the apple tree. Most times the apple fruit is used as a symbol and not literally. 

…But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shall surely die…
So in case you thought they ate “the apple”, I’ve got news for you; THEY DID NOT! If it were an apple they ate then all of us who eat apples today would have been sinning over and over again. Apple is awesome! Go ahead and buy some right now! Enjoy!

KING DAVID WAS A BASTARD!

ON TODAY'S SECRET I'm sure we well know that many of our biblical celebrities weren't born with silver spoons, or at least didn't have it all easy. Just like many of us today, life hit them up and knocked them down, but because they stayed true to God and knew Him, they came out victorious and today we can read and learn from their stories. one of such persons was the man David.  I guess you didn't know that; KING DAVID WAS A BASTARD! What comes to mind when you hear the name King David? Well for me there are several things. Some of them are; the man after God’s heart, the king who danced naked in front of thousands of people, the king who killed a man just to take his wife, the shepherd boy who killed the giant Goliath, the very humble king, and the very controversial guy…the list is almost endless. But I bet we didn’t know that this man David was an illegitimate son of Jesse. In fact the man (Jesse) was ashamed of him and didn’t initially regard Davi...

MOSES ENTERED INTO THE PROMISE LAND

ON TODAY'S SECRET   The bible is a book with a lot of stories, secrets and figures. It is very easy for one to read any of these stories and miss out on facts about people in the bible that are hidden in plain sight. Many times, because of how long it would take to read the whole book, we’d rather just depend on Sunday school stories and Hollywood to get one or two accounts from it and frankly, even these sources may overlook some of these facts. But whatever the reasons are why people miss some biblical facts is not our concern. What our concern is however, is to show some biblical figures whom you are probably very familiar with, and facts about them you most likely never knew existed.   Today, let us look at something about Moses you may find shocking! Did you know; MOSES ENTERED INTO THE PROMISE LAND? If you have ever attended Sunday school or any church service, or maybe you’re not a Christian but have Christian friends, you most probably have he...
