Wanda W. said Adam and Lilith were created first. Who was Lilith supposed to be?

Question

I haven't heard of Lilith. Where can I get more information on this.

Answer 1

Just enter Lilith into your search engine. You might also enter Adam and Lilith. Good luck.
If you are interested, here are some more interesting searches that you can do.
Gautama Buddha, born of the virgin Maya around 600 BC
Dionysus, Greek god, born of a virgin in a stable, turned water into wine.
Quirrnus, A roman savior, born of a virgin.
Attis, born of the virgin Nama in Phrygia around 200 BC
Indra, born of a virgin in Tibet around 700 BC
Adonis, Babylonian god, born of the virgin Ishtar
Krishna, Hindu deity, born of the virgin Devaki around 1200 BC
Zoroaster, born of a virgin between 1500 and 1200 BC
Mithra, born of a virgin in a stable on December 25th around 600 BC. His resurrection was celebrated at Easter

If you keep searching you will be surprised at what you will find.

Answer 2

Lillith was the first woman, before Eve.

Lillith was made in the same manner as Adam, and thus they were also less intimately connected, and entirely equal.

basically Lillith wanted to be on top, and when adam wasn't cool with it she ran off and screwed a bunch of demons or something, and wouldn't come back when god sent for her.

and adam still needed a mate, so then was Eve, made out of him, as to be more intimately attached, and to be a little subservient.

there are some disagreements though, some say she was made of dust just as adam, some say she was made from "filth and sediment" or something. (though, in a sense what exactly do you think DIRT and dust is?)

and some say that Adam and Lillith were supposed to be entirely equal, and she could not tolerate not being dominant (as opposed to being opressed/subservient)
and some say that adam insisted being on top all the time.

Answer 3

Lilith was Adams first wife. She was too aggressive for him. The story is quite common but I believe it was one of those books that were edited out of the King James Version.

Answer 4

I always though that Lilith was the girl Frazier married.

Answer 5

Lilith was described more in the Talmud than in the Torah. She was indeed supposed to be Adams first wife. She was made out of the same dirt as Adam. She refused to be subservient to Adam. The Talmud says she wanted to be on top. (yes in a sexual sense) Because of her refusal to be under Adam she was banished and became a Demon, kind of a prototype vampire. Lilith is also the word used for a desert hoot owl.
Lilith has become a symbol for women's rights movements and the Icon for a women's' music fair.

Answer 6

I think Lilith was one of the characters in some abridgement of the Genesis myth. It is of no consequence.

Answer 7

Lillith came from the land of Nod.

It was over the hill from Eden.

There was no single birthplace of the human race.

It's all a metaphor dreamed up by people trying to imagine their roots.
