When I read that particular part of Genesis I thought about the meaning too, although when I was young I thought it was bad to eat apples or something lol

The Serpent (Devil/Evil) tempted Eve into eating the forbidden fruit, which God instructed both Adam and Eve should not eat...

But, the *temptation* was too much and Eve gave in to the Serpent, or she gave in to the Devil, or she gave into evil, and ate the forbidden fruit.

It was the serpent/devil who tricked Eve ~ she then gave some of the forbidden fruit to Adam....I bet if Adam had a buddy, he would of shared some too just as Eve did!

They were then both punished by God, women would have to endure painful child birth if I remember correctly and man would have to work and sweat and because he was made from the soil he would become soil again.

Thats very brief, but when I look at the individual aspects of the story I draw a simple conclusion...

If you are tricked, or you give into temptation that you now have the knowledge to know it is the wrong kind of temptation ~ the moral is in some way or another don't do it or you will be punished, basically.

Its like if you play with fire, (in the story it uses the devil/serpent), its basically saying you will get burnt.

You can relate that to modern day life, if you get invovled with bad things, when you've been warned they're bad or you know they are bad ~ the outcome was usually not so good ~ but wisdom you gained was at least not to do it again or something along those lines..

I'm not a Christian though so to speak, so my conclusion of the story is just my way of looking at it. Although I do hold beliefs/principles from Christianity - all the best ones I hope!
