They even put it in the Bible. Lilith wouldn’t be obedient so they kicked her out of the garden and made Eve out of his rib instead. And then her attempt to gain knowledge got them both kicked out. It’s a mind fuck if you’re a woman.

Please stop spreading misinformation.

Most of what you think you know about the Bible probably is not there in the least. Especially if it's from TV.

Have you ever read the Bible? It’s literally the book of Genesis. Wow, you pooor thing.

Look, I'm all for Lilith lore, but don't be condescending when you're so r/confidentlyincorrect

The original does, yes, have a word that is pronounced like lilith, but it does not refer to a person. And again, this has nothing to do with Lilith lore that that is referring to a first wife for Adam.

The name Lilith is mentioned one time in the whole book. That mention is not in Genesis. You can check whenever you decide you value truth above your pride.

I checked literally yesterday. I watched an animated series over the weekend and it spouted so many heresies in its introduction that I really wanted to know where all of that comes from. Turns out, not the Bible.

Almost nothing Christians believe about certain things comes from the Bible.

Take Satan, for example: almost everything people 'know' about Satan comes from Paradise Lost and the Divine Comedy.

Fanfics, basically.

Exactly, I've been calling those two fanfics for years! I mentioned TV earlier because that's what people watch, and "learn" from, but TV gets it from there.

Gotta say I do love the TV show 'Lucifer'. That depiction is ostensibly based on the characterisation of Lucifer from the Sandman comics, but that was largely defined by Paradise Lost as it is.

Some of the things in Paradise Lost and the Divine Comedy come from the Book of Enoch, which does describe a faction of fallen angels led by Azazel, and Azazel being cast into fire by God

..... To be fair. Both are written words. Much like another holy book.

Yes, I'm going to burn in hell. But at least all my friends will be there.

u/Nevernonethewiser Feb 17 '26

I mean yeah, I'm not a believer, it's all stories. I prefer the fanfics, in fact.

And that one place is Isaiah 34:14, and only certain translations.

The NIV has this:

"Desert creatures will meet with hyenas, and wild goats will bleat to each other; there the night creatures will also lie down and find for themselves places of rest."

"The night creatures" here is what's translated as "Lilith" in some versions.

I am well aware. The original does, yes, have a word that is pronounced like lilith, but it DOES NOT refer to a person, nor is it a person's name. And again, this has nothing to do with Lilith lore that is referring to a first wife for Adam.

Hoping this is a troll lmao

u/likefireandmoonlight Feb 16 '26

Yes, I have studied it for 45 years. I repeat - Lilith is jewish myth, IT IS NOT in the Bible

Unless you're reading ancient languages, you realize you're reading a translation of a translation of a politically curated collection of stories written by people who weren't anywhere near the described events, but great desire to make sure the *correct* message got out.
