Where exactly did the idea of Lilith being Adam's first wife come from? I've read alot about it, but I've came across too many different sources that it's mixed me up.

Where did you ever read that Lilith was Adams first wife?

Pastor Gary

That is NOT scriptural and a work of fiction. It was "formulated" as a hypothesis several centuries ago by those false teachers who were trying their best to come up with an alternate "explaination" of how the earth was populated.

However, all one has to do is to read Genesis for the correct creation timelines.

God created man ('adam' in Hebrew - note the lower case) on the sixth day - and it was good. He rested on the seventh day and then realized that he had not created a 'husbandman - or farmer. On the eighth day he created Eth Ha Adam (Hebrew for 'THE man Adam', note upper case) - the seed line through which Christ would eventually come from. He then created Eve.

Those persons centuries ago just didn't get it?

What didn't they get you ask?

Well, now - after Cain killed Abel, Cain was banished from the Garden and went east to the land of Nod and took a wife.

WHERE THE HECK DID SHE COME FROM?

She was of the sixth day creation. There have been numerous discussions here regarding that entire time line and you may get some insight into that discussion by reading the "Adam and Eve" thread in the Bible Studies area.

Enjoy your studies!

Maybe I worded that wrong. I know it's not scriptural, I was just wondering where that would originate from. I know that it was more of a mythological thing, I just didn't know from where. Sorry.

I never noticed there was an 8th day of creation where God created Adam. I was always confused about the fact I knew adam was hebrew for man, and that it was in Genesis as both a noun and a proper noun. That alway's threw me off. Thank you for mentioning that.

Oh...My ....Goodness!
I never SAW this before.
The story I've concluded was, that Adam and Eve had many children, not mentioned before and after Cain and Abel, therefore, others for Cain to be with.
My brain is just storming...
Why hasn't this been taught? Or shown in Sunday school? I've taught Sunday school to 2 and 3 year olds for 10 years and never noticed this before. I'll have to ask around, maybe some allready knew this and I, for some unknown reason, didn't.
It just goes to show that we humans are imperfect, that the Holy Spirit will lead and guide us to ALL truth (to those that are REALLY hungry).
Thanks Paster Gary

Lilith is found in the Apocrypha books....or....books that were not included in the cannon due to the authors not being known or reliable. She was a mythological demon, at least that was/is where she came from. These books have nothing to do with the Bible. I, and I hope you all, won't spend any time looking at or studying them.

Curiously you can find her name in one translation of the Bible..."the Message". Maybe someone could educate me on "The Message" translation a bit.
