1. scripture doesnt SPECIFY an apple
2. scripture doesnt SPECIFY a whale
3. scripture doesnt specify the financial status of Jesus, but based on his teachings, I would imagine he didnt attain or maintain material things in excess

Answer True or False for the following questions.

1. Adam and Eve ate the apple in the Garden of Eden.
2. Jonah was swallowed by a whale.
3. Jesus was poor.
4. Paul fell off of his horse on the Road to Damascus.




These are all open to interpretation. But I will try.

1. It's said that yes, this was in fact an apple. But Ive also heard that it was a extinct fruit that was unique to that tree.

2. The word of God says it was a big fish, since a whale is a big fish I say true

3. Jesus had no need for money, so to say he was poor is correct but did not matter. He even told his disciples in I think Mark no to carry money on their belts or food for that matter. They still ate and slept comfortably.

4. Never read that one. Never heard of it before now. Can't say. I guess...True

1. It was the forbidden fruit, the fruit of good and evil.
2. There is no exact translation for this particular "word". It translates into a big fish. Which could have been a whale and more then likely was.
3. Jesus was not poor. The things on earth decay, rot, are eaten away by rust and moths. The objects in this world mean nothing, they are only temporary. The true treasures of this world is love. A very rare thing in most occasions. Love is so valuable there is no money in the world that can buy you love.
4. Yes he fell off the horse I do believe.

Answer True or False for the following questions.

1. Adam and Eve ate the apple in the Garden of Eden.
2. Jonah was swallowed by a whale.
3. Jesus was poor.
4. Paul fell off of his horse on the Road to Damascus.

2. The word of God says it was a big fish, since a whale is a big fish I say true

3. Jesus had no need for money, so to say he was poor is correct but did not matter. He even told his disciples in I think Mark no to carry money on their belts or food for that matter. They still ate and slept comfortably.

4. Never read that one. Never heard of it before now. Can't say. I guess...True


1. True. This was a predecessor to the apple-tree, the fruit of which Adam and Eve ate. Much like horses never existed ten thousand years ago, or nectarines never existed a hundred years ago, apples did not exist five thousand years ago.

2. False. Whales are not fish. The sea-creature that swallowed Jonas was either a shark, or a big mofo of an octopus, or else a meremaid, and she only swallowed a little bit of Jonas, not his whole existence.

3. Jesus thought he had no need for money, and his goddy foresight tricked him or failed him. If he had had money, he could have hired a nice Jewish law-firm to get him off the hook and/or off the cross. It is also true he preferred to walk about, talk and preach to people, go on fishing trips where others worked while he talked. He abhorred working. His favourite thing that he indulged in was talking, and boy, he could not be shut up. He had to die for this, as humans are by-and-large not entertained by listening, but by talking. Look at the forums here, for instance. Everyone puts their own opinion forward, nobody reads anyone else's post but only because they need something to talk about themselves.

I am not an exception to this rule at all.

So yes, Jesus was poor, coz he was unable to work due to his addiction to talking, and he later also saw himself as poor, coz he could have avoided the embarrassment for his family and friends, by fighting for clemency re: the crucifiction order by paying some good lawyers.

4. Paul fell off his Donkey, not his horse.

In other words, he fell off his Azz and landed on his Azz.

1. Adam and Eve ate the apple in the Garden of Eden.
FALSE. We have no idea what fruit they ate. We know it was golden. It could be an apple. But, it could be any fruit (for example, a pear).

2. Jonah was swallowed by a whale.
FALSE. Jonah was swallowed by a big fish. We have no way of knowing this was a whale.

3. Jesus was poor.
FALSE. Jesus was rich, monetarily. There are many examples of this, including Jesus having a treasurer (Judas) as one of the apostles. You Don't have a treasurer if you do not have money. Also, Jesus' garment was not tarn because it was an expensive garment. There are over 25 references in the Bible alluding to Jesus' financial wealth.

4. Paul fell off of his horse on the Road to Damascus.
FALSE. Paul never fell off of a horse. Read the scriptures. You'll see that he feel, but NOWHERE is a horse mentioned.
P.S. Saul never fell off of a horse either on the road to Damascus.
