So you believe that the “knowledge of good and evil” FRUIT was mostly about sex? I’ve always lacked understanding on this. I certainly didn’t think it was about eating a apple.

It’s an interesting theory that has some logical support, but I wouldn’t go so far as to say that I believe it :-)

There is a third possibility between the two, that God may have meant the name of the tree at its face value meaning, but that by the time of David the phrase had become a euphemistic reference to sex, perhaps because of people reading the story and seeing all the sexual references. Only God knows.
