Lilith: original woman??

[jackslips]

Has anyone heard of the Lilith myth? There are a number of non-biblical references to a woman who was made alongside Adam. The story goes that she left him because she didnt want to be subservient so him. Then God made Eve from Adam, and on goes the rest of the story. Does anyone have further information? The whole story brings up the issue of how many times the Bible has been translated and re-translated and things have been taken out to suit the times. Which leaves me with the disturbing question: How much isnt being told to us? I have a full, highly developed faith that there is a God, but I cant say I can have faith in many things made by man. And the Bible was certainly made, and revised by man.​

Hey Jack. Are you at ASMSA yet?

Anyway I'm fairly certain that if it was ever in there, the Catholic church did away with it as they did for any document that compromised their doctrine.

im effin displeased with the whole Bible revision thing. Why was the original not fit? I mean if you TRULY believed in God, really had faith, why in hell would you disturb what was believed to be HIS WORD?!? What sense does that make? If I was your God, and I left you a book, and you took out bits you didnt like, ID SMITE THE HELL OUT OF YOU!!! Thats right. I would.

And PS.. Im leaving for ASMSA wednesday..ive been traveling a lot the past few days so i havent called. I went to mississippi saturday and then sunday and today i was at my grandmas. i tried callin you this afternoon. NO REPLY

Thats why I do not like Catholicism. To this day they still add parts and take parts from the bible they do it very slowly to. They will just not mention it much until it becomes unknown. Christians are different from Catholics, people I am sick of people putting them together.

Er, Catholics ARE Christians...

Yes, according to the original Biblical writings, Lilith was the first woman. She refused to submit to Adam (sexually), however, and was thrown out of Paradise.

hmm.. i dont really trust wikipedia but ive looked it up to the point of weirdness and yes indeed there is NO TRACE of her in the bible but she is all over the hebrew myths. and there are many christian groups i wouldnt like to affiliate myself with, so i cant really point out the catholics in particular.

No, They do things and call themselves Christians. In fact they are nothing more then hypocrite's.

Well Catholics were around a long time before Protestants ever were. You can't really call either of them "true Christians" since no one really knows what the full extent of things that were taken out of the Bible are, or if there were things added in. Maybe the Catholic church saw that numerous things in the Bible were complete bullshit and decided to take them out in order to save their religion. Although I would have to say that if they did, they did a very shitty job since there are still things in it that are blatantly stupid, contradictory, and otherwise fallacious.

Cathlics are a branch of christian.... not exactly a hypocrite...

 

[get_crunk_mofo]

i though catholics were cristians..

 

[jackslips]

catholicism is a branch of christianity... and i dont think its really fair to group them all together as hypocrites. TONS of stuff the church itself has done has been completely wrong, unjust, and/or hypocritical but there are decent catholics out there.
