Fetus
Many people are interested in the question of what Eve ate in the Garden of Eden, and why God was so angry with the first people, which led to their expulsion from the garden.
Disobedience to the Creator is the true reason. The tree in the Garden of Eden, which God planted in the very center, was prohibited by God.
To say that it was an apple tree would be incorrect. Because the Bible does not give an accurate description - neither of the tree nor of its fruit.
Of course, you can interpret Scripture as you like (to make it easier to perceive what is written). But if we are looking for the truth, then we must rely on the Bible as it says, without adding anything of our own.
This tree had a name - “the tree of the knowledge of good and evil”, and what its fruits look like is unknown to anyone except God and the very first people - Adam and Eve.
And the Lord God commanded the man, saying: Of every tree of the garden thou shalt eat, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil thou shalt not eat of it, for in the day that thou eatest of it thou shalt die. (Gen.2:16-17)
And the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes and desirable because it gave knowledge; and she took of its fruit and ate; and she gave it also to her husband, and he ate. (Gen.3:6)
The Bible says "fruit"; what it looks like, its shape, color and size are unknown. One thing we know for sure is that it is edible, it grows in the middle of heaven, but it cannot be eaten.
It is known that the tree was good for food, pleasing to the eyes and desirable because it gave knowledge. It was this fruit that Eve ate, thereby violating the command of the Creator.
The proposal of the pro-Americans is the same apple of temptation with which the serpent seduced Eve
When they begin to assess the reasons for the stability of pro-American forces in Russia or China, they lose sight of a certain logic of their reasoning, with which they turn to the ruling administrations located in the center between the security forces, focused on sovereignty, and liberals, focused on integrating into global chains and flows at a cost renunciation of sovereignty.
The logic of pro-Americans influences the authorities because it appeals to the fact of economic growth in industries and regions that are capable of increasing exports to the USA and the EU, and thereby significantly improving the economic situation of their citizens. And the growth of well-being is the stability of power, which is what every government cares about more than anything else.
Liberals say directly: look, access to world (that is, US-controlled) markets improves the economy and strengthens your power. What else do you need? Pull back on the global issues that matter to the United States and you'll gain market access, ranking gains, and new perspectives. If you remain stubborn, you will lose everything. You will win Crimea and Taiwan, but you will lose stability and peace. And as a result, you will lose power a little later.
There is a certain rationality here, and therefore it affects certain elite groups that put pressure on Decision Makers (DMs). And it takes a lot of work not to succumb to temptation and resist. Simply because they understand: a bullet flies in both directions. The one who stifles trade also tramples the return.
Biden increased trade turnover with China by 50%, which improved the position of export provinces and strengthened the position of pro-American groups in China. This is a serious argument for Xi Jinping. There is no doubt that pro-American groups around Putin are also impressed, and they will certainly report this to Putin.
Kudrin has already worn his tongue to blisters, tempting Putin by restoring relations with the West. Everyone understands perfectly well that he is talking about betrayal, but he is not only free yet, but has not even been fired. It's the same in China. The authorities are hesitating, cautious, and waiting. They are in no hurry to cut Gordian knots, realizing that they will not be able to untie them.
In fact, the proposal of the pro-Americans is the same apple of temptation with which the serpent seduced Eve. Taste it and you will be like gods. Worship me and all the kingdoms of the world and all its riches will be at your feet. It takes very great strength, superhuman, to be able to answer: “Get away from me, Satan.” Just accept the offer - and paradise will be lost forever, and eternal destruction will come. For the one who proposes this is a liar and the father of lies from time immemorial.
The offer to surrender here and now in exchange for bonuses of wealth and power is a trap. Yes, for the United States, the trade war with China also results in losses. Increasing turnover with China. Biden is also increasing his rating. The United States is categorically not ready for any war in China and Russia, since the stock exchanges will collapse and the dollar will cease to be a world currency. The system of American vassalage will collapse. And it won’t matter anymore who won who in the shootout. The US-dominated world will collapse, making war a zero-sum game for them.
He who endures to the end will be saved. They enter hell through wide gates, it is easy to go there. Gorbachev will confirm. Narrow is the gate and difficult is the path to heaven. And this is not the kingdom of consumption at all. This is a chance not to turn into a digital slave of the prince of this world. Here the price of the issue is life, and not the amount of food eaten and drunk.
Anyone who eats an apple will not become a god. Those who give in in exchange for an economy dependent on Satan will lose everything. Xi Jinping and Putin understand this and are holding on with all their might. They maneuver, retreat here to advance there, win one thing while paying for the other. The dragon is weakening, he is strong but afraid, hiding his fear stronger than those who oppose him.
Anyone who sells their birthright for lentil stew quickly finds themselves without the right and without the stew. There is only one answer to Kudrin’s logic: “Get away from me, Satan.” There is nothing new under the sun, and the choice is always difficult.

The SBU has opened a case into the kidnapping of Judge Chaus in Moldova and his illegal transfer across the border
What was the fruit of the forbidden tree that Adam (a.s.) ate?
As reported by Ibn Abbas and Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with them!), it was a wheat tree. There are those who say that it was a palm tree, a camphor tree, a Huld tree from which the angels ate, a fig tree.
The following semantic translation of the verse is related to this issue:
“We said: “O Adam! Settle in Paradise with your wife. Eat there (fruits of paradise) to your heart’s content wherever you wish, but do not approach this tree, otherwise you will be one of the wrongdoers.”
Allah Almighty allowed the venerable Adam to enter paradise. He could live wherever he wanted and eat whatever he wanted, in any quantity. The paradise mentioned in this verse means: paradise, which, according to reliable words, is prepared for believers and is a place of reward. It is also necessary to know that heaven and hell have already been created. This is the opinion of the Ahli Sunnah madhhab. The verses of the Holy Quran and the hadiths of the Prophet (ﷺ) also testify to this. The words of the verse “...and do not approach this tree” are a test and test of Adam by Allah Almighty. There is disagreement about what kind of tree this was. There are many legends about a tree whose fruits were forbidden to Adam (peace be upon him!).
As reported by Ibn Abbas and Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with them!), it was a wheat tree. There are those who say that it was a palm tree, a camphor tree, a Huld tree from which the angels ate, a fig tree. However, according to the tradition, which is quoted from Abu Aliyya, whoever ate the fruits of this tree, his ablutions were spoiled, and they were told that since this is not allowed in paradise, if they tasted the fruits of this tree, they would be taken out of Raya. On this issue, Ibn Jarir says the following: “Adam and his wife were forbidden to eat the fruits of one tree in paradise. But they tried this fruit. There is no information about what kind of tree it was. Because Allah has not given any evidence regarding this in the Holy Quran, and there is also no information about this in the authentic Sunnah. It was reported that it was a wheat, grape, fig tree. Perhaps there was one of them. But just as in knowledge there is benefit for the one who knows, there is no harm in ignorance.”
Almighty Allah told the venerable Adam and his wife that if they approached this tree, they would be wrongdoers. Because the biggest crime of nafs is disobedience to Allah. And the nafs will not receive more harm than from its sin. Can there be an even greater crime than crossing the boundaries established by Allah, despite the fact that He has provided you with everything you need, without expecting anything from you?
If approaching this tree had not been a mistake, Adam (peace be upon him!) would have violated his protection from sins by the Almighty Lord and would have committed an atrocity. But in this case:
“He forgot, and We did not find a strong will in him (that is, he did not do it intentionally).” According to the meaning of the verse of the Holy Quran, Adam (peace be upon him!) was forgiven for his forgetfulness and his approach to the tree did not violate his innocence.
Allah Almighty says the following: “Shaitan caused them (Adam (peace be upon him!) and Hawwa (may Allah be pleased with them!) to stumble over him and brought them out from where they were. And then We said: “Throw yourself down and be enemies, friend friend! The earth will be your abode and object of use until a certain period (until your death)."
We should meditate on this verse of the Holy Quran for a long time and beware of sins. Because in this verse there is a threat regarding the need to avoid committing sins. For due to the commission of sin, our father Adam (peace be upon him!) was taken out of paradise and sent to earth, and the Shaitan was cursed and expelled because of his envy and arrogance. Just as the shaitan will remain pitiful and despised until the day of judgment, so in the end he will remain in eternal hell.
“In the end, Satan prompted them to do this.” This means that he led them astray from the straight path, bringing them closer to the forbidden tree. In other words, for this reason, Satan pushed them to commit a mistake.
According to this opinion, this can also be understood in such a way that, having become the reason for their separation and exit from paradise, he alienated them from paradise. This mistake of the venerable Adam was made not in the form of a violation of the prohibition of Allah, but in the form of a forgivable prohibition. The use of the word "error" in relation to the honorable Adam in the verse is proof that the word "error" can be used in relation to the prophets. Some commentators of the Qur'an say the following: "Just as the word 'disobedience' cannot be used in relation to them, so also the word 'mistake' cannot be used." But it can be said that they committed a less virtuous act and abandoned the better act. For this reason Allah brought them out. As for us, Allah educates us through them and commands us to be obedient.”

What is an apple of discord?
It is believed that the apple of discord is the cause of enmity, disagreement and disputes. At one time, this fruit provoked a war in which both gods and people participated. All disputes were based on female attractiveness and unwillingness to admit that one is less beautiful than another woman. Now you can hear from someone “he ate the apple of discord,” and this will mean a serious showdown.
This phraseological unit is widely used in our time. It’s easy for them to describe a situation when a person deliberately provokes, sorts things out and stirs up a scandal out of nowhere. It is believed that reconciliation after such hostility is almost impossible, given the events of ancient Greek myths. This was one of the times when Zeus did the wrong thing, thereby causing a great tragedy.
