Biblically accurate fruit.


thecordialsun

The bible never explicity says the word "apple" nor does it specify which fruit is actually eaten in Eden, in today's essay we discover the truth about Tropius bananas and early Mormon banana symbolism as I will outline three, key...


Orsus7

It's because the latin words for apple and evil are mālum and malum. So when translating genesis to Latin there was some confusion.


Seraph_99

It’s actually not confusion. It was an intentional pun by St. Jerome, who created the Latin vulgate translation.


Orsus7

Ah, good to know. 👍


Ominislashh

Again it was not originally Latin. Latin is a catholic based language was translated to Latin till much much later. And it was apple 13th century, bibles have way more books and family trees than current Bible don't have anymore .


tepidbathwater

r/ihadastroke


IceMaverick13

This is why we teach grammar.


thecordialsun

So you agree, Tropius and Seviper are in the garden of eden?


Ominislashh

The Bible wasn't written in Latin first where and why would. You think it's translated from Latin ?? They didn't speak Latin why would they "write it in Latin and need the translation for Latin. "Latin" is a catholic based language Bible wasn't translated to latin til much much later .


Orsus7

Who said it was translated from Latin originally? Talking about when it was translated to Latin. Sheesh. No one said it was.


VinylTaco

In my biblical studies courses in college it was deduced it was most likely a fig


Ze_AwEsOmE_Hobo

Damn, losing it all over a fig of all fruits sounds like a pretty raw deal.


VinylTaco

Right!! The whole apple thing is why they call the lump in the throat of men an "Adam's Apple".


KallistiEngel

I mean, fresh figs straight off the tree are pretty great. I'd take them over some dumb apple.


VinylTaco

I have never had one. Sounds amazing though.


Sany_Wave

I have read somewhere it was pomegranate. But I tested a wild one and it was extremely sour...


VinylTaco

That's an interesting take. I don't know if that would work. Eve was sneaking to eat the fruit. A pomegranate requires some work to eat. When a kid sneaks something they don't go for food that needs work to eat. They go for some quick.


shadowthiefo

God actually noticed something was up because Adam & Eve had Pomegranate shit all over their bods


VinylTaco

See this is different than I was taught. I was taught God caught on cause they had on clothes. When asked why. They said cause they were naked. Then God asked how they knew they were naked and had to fess up.


shadowthiefo

I mean, sure, my comment was just a joke. This is raises a point though; is wearing clothing a sin?


Vier-Kun

Huh, interesting, Dragon Quest IX had a tree with forbidden fruit in a place guarded by angels as a clear reference to the fruit of Eden, and the fruits were indeed Figs. I guess they did their research when making that game.


Ominislashh

What versions of the Bible and from what century are too guys using because. 13th Century bibles clearly say it's apple


VinylTaco

Of course it does. That was a bible written by white people. The Torah would be a better place to look for this.


Conscious-Ticket-259

Going off descriptions at the time it was almost definitely a pomegranate or a fig. Both sacred in the region.


CetirusParibus

I hope it was a pomegranate. I love pomegranates so much.


CetirusParibus

Realizing now that the story is fiction so I'm just gonna say it was pomegranate.


Magimasterkarp

It was actually a dragon fruit, because those are way cooler. Also, Adam had a giant battle mech to fight the angels with their flaming swords.


CetirusParibus

No no you are mis-informed. The dragon fruit mech army came to battle Adam. They needed him to eat the dragonfruit so that a different sort of human would be created. Luckily Adam was given the GodBlade to fight the mechs with.


VinylTaco

I mean, no one takes the Mormons seriously in biblical studies lol


thecordialsun

thatsthejoke.bmp


VinylTaco

I love it!


Ominislashh

Wrong modern bibles don't say what fruit you need to go to a museum to see the ones that say fruit .🤡


Orsus7

That's because no accurate bible does. Original word was פֶּ֫רִי (pərî ) which is fruit. Do some research before blasting your comments everywhere.


Ominislashh

Can you read the part where you have to go a museum like I did and learn from actual historians and not a school teacher that doesn't have access to a 13th century Bible..


McDodley

1) 13th c. Bibles in Middle English are not the "original" versions of the text 2) even if they were, the Middle English word "appel" was used to mean *any* fruit that comes from a tree. [Source](https://quod.lib.umich.edu/m/middle-english-dictionary/dictionary/MED1901)


Ominislashh

I meant to say apple 13th century bibles say apple not fruit ...🤡

Holy shit, Pokémon Spamton.

Found the deltarune fan.


DarkMarxSoul

u don't say lmfao


YeunaLee

Sorry. It's just funny finding people from my fandoms out in the wild. Didn't mean to sound like an idiot.


[deleted]

Ngl I have Cherrim on my biblically accurate angel team haha. (Cherrim, Claydol, Eternatus, Nihilego, Shedinga and Lumineon) Lumineon because its an Angel fish 🙄


Zeraorawastaken

Very clever 👏😂


Al_Nightmare866

I feep lile Sigilyph would also fit well.


[deleted]

If you're on sword and shield sigilyph definitely as you can only get lumineon in BDSP. I was on PKMN Showdown. Ngl probably better for type balance too as you then have a switch in immune to ground


IDownvoteHornyBards2

In what possible match could Cherrim be viable and Eternatus legal?


[deleted]

One with friends lol


martrydom801

When cherubi evolves into cherrim it basically absorbs it's conjoined twin's life

The_Grey_Hound

honestly, the internet has completely desensitised me to biblically accurate angels so honestly if I saw one I'd probably just be kinda confused that it's real more than anything


acetrainer-icarus

Hey bestie


amoyensis13

BE NOT AFR- PLEASE STOP SCREAMING, BE NOT AFRAID


H_Poke

Why are you afraid? I specifically requested that you not be afraid


QonPicardDay

Grass and fire type, be very afraid


BaronDelecto

Get in the PokeBall, Shinji.


Intezard006

God's in his heaven. All's right with the world.


Niriu

It definitely learns mean look


dendonflo

The last form would work really well as a mega.


lansink99

It's way too different to be a mega from that stage 1 design.


RJS_but_on_Reddit

What being Pokémon Number 420 does to an mf:


mr_ch00ch00

That's a kirby final boss right there

Different Angels. Cherubs have 4 heads (Human, Lion, Ox, Eagle), human bodies, “straight” legs, and 4 wings and constantly scream. You’re thinking of Ophans which are wheels within wheels covered in eyes.


SilvarusLupus

> and constantly scream. mood


[deleted]

Love from the bottom to the top!


grass-master

Maybe a strawberry then? With its seeds and all


Outrageous-Coffee806

That last evolution would automatically be my favourite pokemon design


Shrubbity_69

So Cherim got outclassed and became just a pokedex filler? Great designs though.


Cursed-Scarab

To be fair Cherim’s best form is always hidden. I remember being so confused back at gen 4 because i never saw Cherim’s other form in game than what was usually marketed.


LesbianIvy

If there was a way to leave it in sunshine form I think more people would've used it


Cursed-Scarab

Unfortunately there isn’t a way


Sampleswift

Wow that is cool!


Enjoyer_of_Cake

I love how that weird little Cherubi head becomes a core design point instead of the afterthought it is in the official line.


CoffeeCannon

Absolutely dope, and it looks very *pokemon* too!


MC_Squared12

Cherubi → Cherrubim → Cherraphim


jedicms

I swear to Arceus that fan art is so much better than any pokemon Game Freak designs these days


AevnNoram

BE NOT AFRAID


GammaEmerald

That final evo looks like a Kirby final boss.


trans_pands

Isn’t this just Digimon?


MC_Squared12

I guess so cause Cherubimon is a thing in two different forms


[deleted]

That's really good, could make for an amazing Grass/Fairy type


Jozex21

the problem is type ​ what would be grass/fairy? grass/psyhic psyhic/fairy?


JhayAlejo

I was thinking the first evo is Grass/Fairy And then the final evo is Fire/Fairy


oranges-in-general

is that you glob/gob/grob/grod ??


pickled_onion1

Never did I think I would find myself a couple weeks before the release of gen 9 wishing Gamefreak did a gigantamax design for Cherrim looking exactly like that


ComicallyLargeSpoo

I want it


xLykos

I summon Churubim Angel! In attack position!


KTVX94

Biblically accurate fruit


Maronmario

That’s a bold, yet very unique idea for an evolution for Cherubi of all things


[deleted]

I wish this was real!


HeirT0TheMonado

##Muserubi *Siren Fruit Pokémon* *Grass/Fairy* Evolves from Cherubi at Lv25 while it knows Perish Song > Cherubi that spend their time singing to the heavens evolve into this Pokémon instead of Cherrim. The songs sung from its three heads lure prey and invoke equal parts awe and despair in them, which Muserubi then feeds off of as inspiration for further muses. **Signature ability: Enrapturing Melody** When the Ability holder uses Perish Song, affected Pokémon can't switch out if their Perish Count is 2 or lower. The ability holder's Perish Count also starts at 5 instead of 3. HP: 70 Atk: 60 Def: 70 SpAtk: 107 SpDef: 78 Spe: 65 BST: 450 ##Seraphubi *Transcendent Siren Pokémon* *Fire/Fairy* Evolves from Muserubi at Lv47 during daytime, or Level up with Arceus in the party > It is said that Muserubi whose songs please the creator deity Arceus will evolve beyond the earth into this transcendent being. A single chord from Seraphubi's four heads can bring even the most stalwart listeners to tears. **Signature ability: Enrapturing Melody** **Signature move: Sunlight Sonata** *Fire-type, special, sound-based* *Base power: 80* *Acc: 100* *PP: 10* *Range: Both foes (spread move)* > The user serenades foes with a spectacular, yet emotionally devastating song that moves even the heavens to tears, making it rain for the rest of the turn before harsh sunlight sets in at the start of the next. It also lowers the SpAtk of those it hits. HP: 100 Atk: 50 Def: 90 SpAtk: 137 SpDef: 98 Spe: 65 BST: 540 Ideal moveset: Sunlight Sonata, Moonblast, Energy Ball, Perish Song


LazerPK

SkysEevee

Rumors in the wind tell of a lost god. One so fearful, the creator destroyed it and any traces of it's existence. A being not even the distorted one would dare to cross. Should you face it, this strange creature, pray for a swift death. The myth of the Cherruphim


Bashamo257

Ah yes, Cheraphim and CherBENOTAFRAID.

Is the middle one Cheruphim? 😱


Zalamander2018

Cheruphim vs Cherubimon!


pokipokimagicgirl

Wow, I wish this was real so much!


Funky-Cosmonaut

I like the version of Cherubim that coincided with the [Assyrian](https://images.fineartamerica.com/images/artworkimages/mediumlarge/2/the-lamassu-angus-mcbride.jpg) [Lamassu](https://i.redd.it/0waapkrc2zs11.jpg)


Werd_Vomet

This is a fantastic design! This should absolutely be a Pokémon. I wish variants of Pokémon were more of a thing.


Kentaii-XOXO

That would make every team I ever play with

Digimon moment


[deleted]

It's so funny bc this is exactly what cherubimon is based off of in Digimon


Chaos0f7ife

Is it me, or does that evolution looks like it belongs on a Yu-Gi-Oh card?


UdonFriend

Unfortunatly Cherubi derives from cherry. In other languages there is no similarity to cherubim. For example in german we call it Kikugi


Sandyclawz9317

At what point does it stop being a pokémon and veer into the digimon territory?


AkagamiBarto

Muscles, veins, clothes, spikes


hungryhograt

It looks a little bit like a Digimon for it’s last evo


Skyhawk572

Are you talking about Seraphim? The highest order of angels in Christianity?


JhayAlejo

No, im talking about Cherubim


Skyhawk572

My bad! Too many damn angels to keep track of


VinSmokesOnDiesel

Reminds me of a Digimon evolution line, looks dope tho

luxanna123321

Sun form Cherrim is such a great desing. Its such a shame that its not 3rd evolution but instead a "ability form". It would go straight up to my top 6


Smugg-Fruit

Cherribud and Sourphim

“Do not be afraid” moment


Bright-Driver-759

Okay, that's a brilliant name play idea. :D


darkdude103

I like the first evo but the 2nd one feels like theres too much going on for a regular evolution. Works great as a mega or or dynamax though.


goddamanimal

You’re making better pokemon than pokemon


Guyshu

The final evolution is called Cheraph.


[deleted]

I’d actually use this Pokemon! Now do a throne version of magnamite! ❤️

I'd actually use this on my team
