What do te think about Lilith? (or Eve)

Are te aquainted with the story of Adam & Lilith?

link

There are other links, of course, if te search, I saw this first and browzed. I am familiar with the story. I refrain from an opinion of belief one way o the other on this particular tale. I am not really as concerned with whether o not it is true o false, as I am interested in people's opinions on this extremely controversial personna. I think Lilith represents much symbolism, whether she is existed o not.

'And how do te feel about Eve?

I am a Christian, daughter of Eve, child of Abraham. How do te feel about these women?

Well, I too do not know if Eve was real o not though i am a Catholic. But, if she was and is real then I have no hard feelings towards the girl. We as humans know how hard temptation is. He o she who hasn't sinned can be the first to judge her for her actions. But, I as a sinner do not have that ability and no one on earth does because none of us are perfect. So, just as we are forgiven for our sins as should Eve AND Adam.

I certainly empathize with Eve & understand. Maybe I should not feel that way, but I share your sentiment about forgiveness as we all fall short. te made a very good point. (Lilith, in Jewish context, is a whole different story. 0.0)

Tho in the Bible, it does say judge with measurement (my pov: without hate, no arrogance/pride). I believe both Adam & Eve existed, but all do fall short of the glory of God. I get where ur coming from tho. =)

Lilith and Eve are not the same person in the Bible/Talmud, all though Lilith is più of a Jewish figure than a Christian one, da my understanding. Certainly, the Jews consider Lilith's existence canonical (she actually existed), whereas several Christians believe there was no Lilith, there was only Eve. Though some Christians do admit that there could have been a Lilith, there is no mention of her in the Book of Genesis. The only remnants of Lilith in Genesis come from the dual creation stories of how Eve was made - either from mud, o from Adam's rib.

Regardless as to which faith believes in Lilith, I find the Lilith story a fascinating one. Lilith, supposedly Adam's first wife, was crafted from the same mud as Adam, but was ordered to be subservient to Adam. Because she was made of the same material as Adam, she defied God and detto that was not fair, and she refused to be Adam's servant. As a result, Lilith openly went against God's wishes and fell in with Lucifer, who turned her into the mother of all demons. God's first experiment with women considered a failure, he crafted Eve, this time from Adam's rib, so she could not claim equality.

Obviously feminist theologians, like myself, are all over this story. It's a fascinating tale, with some extremely heavy implications about the roles of men and women in society.

I have explained the role of Lilith, because the domanda implies that Lilith and Eve are the same person, which they are not (also, the link is broken). Lilith is più like Eve's evil twin, o rebellious older sister. Also, Lilith is part of Jewish theology, not Christian. The Christians do not consider Lilith a canonical character in the Bible. My answer was più to clarify the domanda than to give my thoughts.

However, my thoughts are that Lilith is a fascinating character, and I'm curious as to the purpose of omitting her from Christian canon. It's a whole big barrel of pesce that's just really interesting, but highly controversial, so I won't say più than that.

EDIT: I have added a very informative video on Lilith.

Yes. I did not mean to confuse o imply Lilith and Eve were one in the same. It is a very intriguing issue, I think, and as to what Christians think of Lilith. (I am also curious about Christians opinions on Eve, as well. :)

I read the articolo about Lilith. The bit about controling male bambini for eight days seems to refer to the practice of circumcism. Which did not happen till Abraham. The female child was her's for 20 days. That sounds like it came from the Law God gave to Moses. So I think this is a fable that was written at a much later date.
As far as Eve, I orso no bad feelings about her. The Bible (New Testament) is clear that sin is the responsibility of Adam. God told Adam the rules. He was to instruct Eve. Apparently he did not do a good job. If te compare what God detto to Adam, to what Eve detto to the serpant, there are subtle differenes. Adam & Eve were punished in different ways for their sin. That part of the "curse" is with us still.
Today, before God, Men and Women will both have to give an account. They are equal in God's eyes.
God does not mostra favorites.

I find it only interesting and that is it. I can't image the ALL POWERFUL GOD create something it become a mistake and do it over again and not mention it. I mean her mentioned when he flooded the earth, made several earths (theory), and when he kicked some of his angeli out heaven.
I don't think she existed she may just be Jewish folklore.I mean the concept of Lilith is good story material but far from biblical. There is più to her then just being Adam's "first" wife. She also goes around the world looking for men to steal their souls while giving them a "pleasurable" experience.
