Greetings Babychristian73! Welcome to the forum! Genesis 1-2 can be a little confusing in this sense, both chapters tell the same story from a slightly different perspective. What I mean is this: Chapter one tells the creation account from an overview perspective. It doesn't give much detail and only briefly mentions the creation of Adam and Eve. It does not mention the Garden at all. Chapter two tells the same story again, but this time it focuses on the creation of Adam and Eve, and the events in the Garden of Eden. So, in answer to your question, there was only one woman (Eve) in the beginning. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Greetings Babychristian73! There is a Jewish myth which says that Adam's first wife was named Lilith and that she flew away and became a demon. She was said to destroy new born infants. However, this is simply a Jewish myth and has no support in Scripture. If you would like to read more, search for the word 'Lilith'. There are several posts about this topic. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

I suggest to dismiss the statements of Brother Tim as unfounded. One problem is according to Kings James Gen 1:31 "And God saw every thing that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day." God would not salutate a demonic being to be wife of the first man. The second problem is to postulate "Lilith" to be a Jewish myth. A jewish myth in this context would refer to an "authentic Rabbinic tradition" or a "midrash". Please compare the following from, www.ucalgary.com, where Elizier Segal states: --- Start of quote --- The story of Lilith is not actually found in any authentic Rabbinic tradition. Although it is repeatedly cited as a "Rabbinic legend" or a "midrash," it is not recorded in any ancient Jewish text! The tale of Lilith originates in a medieval work called "the Alphabet of Ben-Sira," a work whose relationship to the conventional streams of Judaism is, to say the least, problematic. --- End of quote --- Currently I would support the opinion that Gen 1:27 and Gen 2:20fff are version differences of the same account. The reason is that the word female used in both chapters depicts the wife to be from the male. Please email me, in order to obtain the accurate URL for the above quote. Within the characterset allowed in this forum a full representation of the URL cannot be provided. Sincerely Michael |

Hi, Michael... Ah! Okay... then you needn't look up "Gap Theory" as you have already decided on an answer. In Him, Doc |

Hi Doc, I looked into the discussion about the "Gap Theory" and I will take some time out to comrehend what people have to say who seem to be so much more educated than me. The Lilith legend seemed to have origin in german medieval contexts and was possibly one reason of alienation among german christians and jews and maybe also one of the reasons why the european antisemitism developed its most ugly face in the murderous 3. Reich. And yes, I currently decided on an answer, where considering arguments from the Gap Theory discussion, I would be requested to analyze my understanding of good and evil as it might be appropriate for God. One opinion I found about that was that God is God in heaven and in hell. That God is above everything, but I wouldn't know whether to be able to jump into such a direction for me for now. Sincerely. Michael |

Dear Michael :: As Doc has mentioned, there has been considerable activity on the Forum concerning the so-called Gap Theory. It rather astonished me to find that I've written and posted 23 monographs on the subject over the years and frankly have said all that I care to say about this weak, lame and biblically ungrounded theory. If you care to read these monographs in chronological order, use the Advanced Search function, type in my user screen name, Hank, in the appropriate box and in the box beneath it type in the words gap theory. I've done quite a bit of research into this theory and perhaps you will find the results of that research helpful to you. There is no biblical evidence at all -- or even a hint or suggestion -- that would lead a rational person to espouse the gap theory; to do so is not to rightly divide the word of God but to engage in pure eisegesis in a vain attempt to lend credence to a pre-conceived idea. The gap theory, not unlike all other false doctrine, has its roots in man's foolish notion that he can twist the word of God to fit his agenda and support his inane theories. As it was in the days when the judges ruled Israel, so is it today, that man, the obdurate rebel, does what is right in his own eyes (see Judges 21:25). --Hank | ||||||
