Definition: Xolpus, also known as "the fruit of the tree," refers to a certain type of fruit that grows on the surface or inside trees, not fruits. It's commonly referred to as xolozotopod or xolozotop. The word comes from Greek and means "fruit." In Christian tradition, xolpus is seen as a symbol for sin and temptation, where sin was originally created in the garden of Eden by Adam and Eve with the fruit of the tree. It's often used metaphorically in Old Testament references to represent evil or deception. For example, Genesis 3:15 says, "And God said, 'Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.'" In modern Christian theology, xolpus is seen as a symbol for sin and temptation that leads to eternal death. It's commonly used within the framework of the New Testament, where it often refers to the serpent lying on the ground with Adam, Eve, and Lucifer before God.
