Did you know that Adam's first wife wasn't Eve?

Question

check these 2 websites if you don't believe me:
www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilith

Answer 1

Yes, her name was Lilith and she wasn't going to have any of Adam's crap so she was thrown out and demonized. Same holds true for independent smart non-gullible women today.

And yet note the outright denial of her existence by those who've only had the King James bible preached to them.

So many people do not understand that their good book is a partial amalgamation of ancient texts specifically chosen to state a specific point of view...if it suggested something other than Christ's virginity then it was excluded. Now some really awful stuff got in there too but I can't get a single person to acknowledge the aftermath of Sodom and Gomorrah. The bible makes it perfectly clear that it is OK to have to have drunken sexual relations with your father if his wife and sons are dead. WTF!

Answer 2

Yes, I did know this. Her name was Lilith, as you have correctly pointed out. It is a shame how few Christians know any of these stories that weren't included in the final version of the Bible. They are called the Apocrypha, and are very interesting. I am an atheist, but I enjoy reading the Bible. I want to learn Aramaic and Hebrew to read the original, and Arabic to read the Koran, and Hindi to read their Vedas and other holy scripts, etc.

Answer 3

2Th 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2Th 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2Th 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

nīt´mon-stẽr (לילית, līlīth; Septuagint ὀνοκενταῦρος, onokentaúros; Vulgate (Jerome's Latin Bible, 390-405 A.D.) lamia):

(5.) Heb. lilith, “screech owl” (Isa_34:14, marg. and R.V., “night monster”). The Hebrew word is from a root signifying “night.” Some species of the owl is obviously intended by this word. It may be the hooting or tawny owl (Syrnium aluco), which is common in Egypt and in many parts of Palestine. This verse in Isaiah is “descriptive of utter and perpetual desolation, of a land that should be full of ruins, and inhabited by the animals that usually make such ruins their abode.”

H3915
לילה ליל ליל
layil lêyl layelâh
lah'-yil, lale, lah'-yel-aw
From the same as H3883; properly a twist (away of the light), that is, night; figuratively adversity: - ([mid-]) night (season).

Answer 4

The passage in Genesis 1:27 — "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them" (before describing a mate being made of Adam's rib and being called Eve in Genesis 2:22) is sometimes believed to be an indication that Adam had a wife before Eve.

You need to read your Bible more often...
