Why Is Lilith's Story Foretold
1. I think maybe the reason why Lilith’s story is untold is that there had been little information passed down from the beginning, and it has become more of the unknown as time has passed. However, there had been a bit of information given at some point and it has created the story that was told in the video. Why it was not included in the bible may be because it was unclear or it seemed irrelevant to the stories told and how they’ve been portrayed.
2. If the story of Lilith had been told, I don’t see that it would change how women have been or are treated other than the idea that originally, Adam and Lilith were created equally and it may have given women a “foot in the door” as far as past leadership and high ranked positions in the church

    Stephanie Ericsson in omission she describes it as “telling most of the truth minus one or two key facts whose absence changes the story completely”. To give an example Ericsson talks about a “rabbinical legends tell of another woman in the Garden of Eden before Eve”. Ericsson talks about how the omission of “Sumerian goddess Lilith” which was known as a “female evil” felt to her as a “Spiritual Robbery” and how Adam was “created out of the same mud” as Lilith redefined all Judeo-Christian History. Ericsson explains how Lilith defied Adam’s need to control,…

The emergency room physician, at Central Texas Medical Center, telephoned St. John, the on-call physician, who recommended Pope be referred to the Round Rock Hospital, where his surgeon was on staff. However, when Round Rock Hospital’s emergency room refused to accept Pope, he went home. The following day in a hospital in Austin, a lumbar puncture revealed Pope was suffering from meningitis, which resulted in permanent disabilities (St. John v. Pope, 1995).…

    Can we conclude that the Bible was written during a time of domination authority, and therefore is irrelevant? Or does this change how we read scripture, to read forgotten stories about women and bring them to the surface. Katharine Doob Saakenfeld is more straightforward in her article “Feminist Uses of Biblical Materials” in addressing ways that Christian feminists can approach and engage with scripture. The three ways she suggests are: looking at texts to counteract famous antiwomen texts, looking at the Bible as a critique to patriarchy, and using texts to learn from women who are oppressed because of their…

    Women have long played an important role in the shaping the nation of Israel which has shaped the Christian church of today. Not only were they daughters, wives, concubines, mothers, and grandmothers of men but they were also special agents of the Lord. It was the Hebrew midwives Shiphrah and Puah who refused the Pharaoh’s order to kill all males that preserved the life of Moses. (Exodus 1) It was the widow of Zerephath who offered food and lodging to Elijah. (1 Kings) There have been women who prophesied and served as spokeswomen for God such as Miriam (Exodus 15) and Huldah. (2 Kings 22; 2 Chron. 24) There were women such as Deborah who served as both a prophet and a judge doling out justice from under a palm tree for the people of Ephraim during the rule of Jabin. (Judges 4) Women such as these received the call of God to serve Him in the roles he directed, roles which were typically filled by men.…

    The status of women throughout history has been in my opinion awful. They were known as caregivers and only caregivers and weren’t giving the opportunity to prove that they could do just as much as man for a long time. They were known as intellectually inferior to men and also a major source of temptation and evil. Women were not able to own any property, and widows could not remarry. Male children were always preferred over female children. They also had to walk behind their husbands. As time passed they came up with women rights which allowed women to do the same things men can do, at that time they were allowed personal and intellectual freedom and they mad significant achievements.…

    Of course, the societal perception of women is very different from today. In the tale of the farmer who understands animals, he eventually beats the wife black and blue, she learns obedience, and "everyone was happy." While this aspect of society is shown, the morality of women is not attacked or praised: it is shown as being variable, just like any person's.…

    The story of Adam and Eve has remained well known in Western Society to both Christians and non-Christians alike. Due to its presence in public though, it is immensely important to understand the the traditional consensus of the story, and how it has evolved into the the indictment of women many see it as today. Challenging the traditional thought is just as critical and understanding its identity and origins. Alice Ogden Bellis in her book Helpmates, Harlots, and Heroes analyzes the popular consensus and presents alternative views on the true meaning of the story.…

    Interpretation is everything when it comes to identifying a text. Readings of one verse "may vary, when in fact they regularly do much more - at times they clearly oppose or contradict each other." 1 Within the book of Genesis we encounter opposition and contradiction in every verse depending on a variety of factors. "...Religious or theological persuasions, or one 's place in history, society and culture" 2 can sway or change an interpretation of text. This being said, the popular and widely accepted interpretations are the ones affecting women and our population in general. The Bible is widely distributed and acknowledged, Genesis is known throughout the world and its social order. Even more so, the creation story is famous, it is mentioned in films, books, school and much more. The interpretation of this story is still additionally accepted, everyone knows the story of the apple and Eve. The impact this one story has on the institution of patriarchy, Phyllis Bird has a good representation : "A hierarchy of order is introduced into the relationship of the primal pair. Mutuality is replaced by rule. Patriarchy is inaugurated. . . . The rule of man over the woman, as announced in Genesis 3:16, is the Bible 's first statement of hierarchy within the species." 3 The potential for this verse to be used for oppressive should not be underestimated. Eve and Lilith, the women of Genesis are sexualized, sin ridden and seen as antagonists within the creation story. Let us see how the interpretation of this take has created societal norms for gender roles.…

    Yet, as a result of characterizing Eve as the instigator, the ringleader, the troublemaker, the inciter, women have been blamed rather than uplifted. This would explain why throughout so much of history, women have been treated as second-class citizens. In many parts of the world today they are still treated…
