    FWIW, Lilith, the first wife of Adam, is Jewish folklore and not supported by any Christian texts.

      When the unofficial fanfic is way cooler than official canon and fixes its plotholes

      Yeah. I grew up in a fundamentalist household and the first time I heard about Lillith was in Hazbin Hotel fanfiction.

        Most of what I know about world religions comes from Age of Mythology, World of Darkness rulebooks and Powerwolf lyrics

      Her name is not mentioned, but in Genesis first God creates man and woman at the same time as equals, but then it says Adam was alone and created a woman from his rib. So you can read that as two women being created at different points in time.

        That is not necessarily what the text says.

        Genesis 1 states that god created man and woman.

        Genesis 2 is the detailed retelling of when he made man and woman.

        Not that it has to be logically sound, it’s a myth after all. Anyone can interpret it in any way, and be just as correct as everyone else!
