What "The Forbidden Fruit" Really Was (I Won't 'Be Specific' ... except to say that Kids Won't Learn it in Sunday-School)

It's another thing you learn from 'translating the Ancient-Hebrew texts' (I'm not the translator ... that's totally Dennis Murray (like his father Arnold and maybe his brother David and/or his sister Fayezel) ... This is text from Genesis 3, where Satan (the "serpent" ... not 'a snake') was in the Garden of Eden and he 'incited' sin (much like then-President Donald Trump allegedly (accuse-edly?) 'incited' violence against the legislature). The word used in the Scriptures--a word often translated "beguiled"--is "better-translated 'seduced.'" This is where I'm going to be very 'non-specific' about what happened there. But I'll "bat all around it," so I'm sure you'll know what I'm hinting-at. Arnold & Dennis (I'm guessing David and Fayezel didn't "go into the ministry" so fully) often refer to 'evil people in The Bible' as "Kenites" (or 'Cain-ites')---the ones to-whom Jesus was referring when He said they "are of [their] father, The Devil" (in John 8:44). The Murrays propose that Genesis 3 is where The Devil impregnated Eve with them, proposing that Cain and Abel were not "twins" in the common sense of the word. Dennis backs his proposal that The Forbidden Fruit was not 'the edible part of a plant' with the fact that--when Adam & Eve sewed the aprons of fig-leaves--they didn't use the aprons to cover their mouths! ... maybe Dennis goes a little further in explaining there, but he probably gives us 'the lesson we should learn from the story' (much like Sunday-School teachers do, with a slightly censored version of the story).
