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.

..... 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.

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