It is almost impossible to mention religion without some debate issuing forth. Fundamentalist Christians like to use the Bible as their sole source of “revelation” and will argue for hours from its pages. Over history, people have developed strange misconceptions about the Bible and the tales it tells. This list hopes to put down some of the more obvious misconceptions people have about the Bible.

提及宗教，爭議就在所難免。信服正統派基督教的教徒們喜歡將圣經作為他們“啟示”的唯一來源，并會就圣經書上的內容展開數小時的辯論。在歷史發展的過程中，人們對圣經及及圣經故事產生了不少奇怪的誤解。希望這份榜單能消除人們一些很明顯的對于圣經的誤解。

10 Adam and Eve’s Fruit

Contrary to popular belief, Adam and Even did not eat an Apple in the book of Genesis. The fruit is not actually named at all - it is referred to only as the fruit of “the tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil”. The reason this misconception has come about is most likely due to the fact that in Middle English, the word “apple” was used to refer to all fruit and nuts (except berries). Over the centuries, this word has stuck in reference to the Genesis fruit. [ Genesis 2:17]

亞當與夏娃的禁果

與現在普遍流行的說法相反，創世紀一章中亞當和夏娃吃的并不是蘋果。事實上那個果子并沒有被命名--它指的是“智慧樹”上的果實。這個誤解形成的原因可能是中世紀英語中“apple”一詞指的是所有水果和堅果（除了漿果）。幾個世紀以后，這個單詞被慣用于指創世紀中的果實。[ 創世紀 2:17]
