The Biblical 'Tree of Knowledge' Was Never About 'Fruit'
How Seven Civilizations Told the Same Story About Human Origins
The Backlash
We published an article (see above) suggesting Genesis might encode something darker than weâve been taught.
What if the âfruitâ from the Tree of Knowledge wasnât fruit at all?
The Hebrew word peri means both fruit and offspring or infant. What if the original sin involved consuming a child that grew from that tree? What if the post-fall curse of painful childbirth makes more sense in that context?
People lost their minds. We expected pushback.
What surprised us was the rage.
But hereâs the thing: weâre not claiming weâve decoded the absolute truth. Weâre pointing at a pattern. And when you look at humanityâs oldest stories, something bizarre emerges. Cultures separated by thousands of miles and centuries keep saying the same thing. Humans came from trees.
Not metaphorically. Not poetically. Actually from trees.
Yes, we know this is a strange concept and we are not claiming this is absolute fact. This is still a Christian newsletter but the topic, much like the apple in the gaâŠ
