Adam disobeys God and eats an apple and for that every human in the history of the world had to suffer . Hmmmm...while I believe in Christ / God the Bible , especially the Old Testament , is enough to make even the most fervent Christian have doubts ...

Adam disobeyed GOD and ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Never says apple( to my knowledge). They committed sin by placing their own desires above what GOD told them. So sin entered the world. Painfull childbirth and thorns on fruit.... I think mostly symbolism...However I do believe their was an actual Adam and Eve just as I believe there was an actual JESUS.

Actually, he ate from the fruit of the tree of knowledge of Good and Evil by his own volition independent from the volition of God, which God had previously told him not to eat thereof.
