christians: how do you explain Lilith?

Excellent question...

The Bible has consistently triumphed over criticism. For instance, when it is read with an open mind, it is found to be in harmony with true science. Of course, the Bible was prepared as a spiritual guide, not as a science textbook. But let us see if the Bible agrees with scientific facts.

ANATOMY: The Bible accurately says that ‘all the parts’ of a human embryo are “in writing.” (Psalm 139:13-16) The brain, the heart, the lungs, the eyes—these and all the other body parts are ‘written down’ in the genetic code of the fertilized egg in the mother’s womb. Contained in this code are internal timetables for the appearance of each of these parts in proper order. And just think! This fact about the development of the human body was recorded in the Bible almost 3,000 years before scientists discovered the genetic code.

ARCHAEOLOGY: Biblical kings, cities, and nations have come to life with the discovery of clay tablets, pottery, inscriptions, and the like. For instance, such people as the Hittites mentioned in the Scriptures actually did exist. (Exodus 3:8) In his book The Bible Comes Alive, Sir Charles Marston said: “Those who have shaken popular faith in the Bible, and undermined its authority, are in turn undermined themselves by the evidence that has been brought to light, and their authority destroyed. The spade is driving destructive criticism out of the field of questionable facts into that of recognized fiction.”

ASTRONOMY: Some 2,700 years ago—long before people in general knew that the earth is round—the prophet Isaiah wrote: “There is One who is dwelling above the circle of the earth.” (Isaiah 40:22) The Hebrew word chugh here translated “circle,” may also be rendered “sphere.” (A Concordance of the Hebrew and Chaldee Scriptures, by B. Davidson) Then, too, “the circle” of the earth’s horizon is clearly seen from outer space and sometimes during high-altitude airplane travel. Incidentally, Job 26:7 says that God is “hanging the earth upon nothing.” This is true, for astronomers know that the earth has no visible means of support.

BOTANY: Some wrongly conclude that the Bible is inaccurate because Jesus Christ spoke of “a mustard grain” as “the tiniest of all the seeds.” (Mark 4:30-32) Likely, Jesus meant the seed of the black mustard plant (Brassica nigra or Sinapis nigra), which is only about 0.039 to 0.063 inch [1 to 1.6 mm] in diameter. Though there are smaller seeds, such as fine-as-powder seeds of the orchid, Jesus was not talking to people who grew orchids. Those Galilean Jews knew that of the various types of seeds sown by local farmers, the mustard seed was the tiniest. Jesus was talking about the Kingdom, not teaching a lesson in botany.

GEOLOGY: Regarding the Bible account of creation, the noted geologist Wallace Pratt said: “If I as a geologist were called upon to explain briefly our modern ideas of the origin of the earth and the development of life on it to a simple, pastoral people, such as the tribes to whom the Book of Genesis was addressed, I could hardly do better than follow rather closely much of the language of the first chapter of Genesis.” Pratt noted that the order of events in Genesis—the origin of oceans, the emergence of land, and then the appearance of marine life, birds, and mammals—is essentially the sequence of the principal divisions of geologic time.

Hope it will help!

1) christians: how do you explain Lilith?

Jewish myth first mentioned in writing several centuries after The Book of Genesis was authored.

2) if you read genesis it mentions woman being created twice once from the earth at the same time as man and once from adams rib.

That is not an accurate statement.

3) when taken with the dead sea scrolls and other such related texts it becomes clear that this first woman was Lilith and that she was cast out of the garden for refusing to lie beneath adam.

Again: that is not an accurate statement. No such account of Lilith has been found among the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Please read this, which is reliable:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilith#Alphabet_of_Be...

The **oldest known mention** of the story of Lilith as Adam's first wife is from no earlier than the 8th century C.E. Genesis - which includes the Biblical story of Adam and Eve - was written down no later than the 6th century B.C.E. That puts **at least 1,200 years** between the original story of Adam and Even and the *additional* story of Adam and Lilith.

No Dead Sea Scrolls. No "Adam had two wives". You have been misinformed from start to finish.

Lilith was a woman from the Talmud (a Jewish sacred text); she is not part of Christian scripture in any way. Why would they attempt to explain someone that is not even part of their religion? You might as well ask them to explain Mohammed (and HE at least existed as an historical personage, regardless of whether you believe he was some sort of prophet).

I'm a Reform Jew. I don't have to be a Christian to be familiar with their scriptures - simply a reasonably well-educated individual who knows them, just as I know Roman and Greek and Norse mythology. It ain't exactly rocket science there, dude.

Lilith is a great fantasy novel by George McDonald

coincidently, the Lilith you talk about is also made up.It's a doctrine of demons that God warns us about and to beware.

There's some short video expose at

theater_goodfight_org which cover stuff like this under gnosticism

Lillith is not mentioned in the Bible - and your postings prove that. She is a Jewish story, and not part of their doctrine. She does not figure in to Christianity at all.

If you cannot gather the scriptures you claim exist and show us what is what - your claims have no value.

Lilith probably lives in California - otherwise.

Lilith isnt found in Genesis.

as if every single christian in the world believes that? religion isn't a set thing. everyone has their own god. get over yourself and find your own.

They don't bother trying they just say that you made it up even if you show them scriptures and books proving your point.
