In college I took an accelerated english class, and I loved it, and I loved my professor,
BUT
one day, she passed out an essay with the intent that we critique the style, not the content. The problem is, the essay was by a catholic feminist about how "Lillith" was the first woman in the garden of eden, and that the church had removed her from the Bible.
Now, I was not a Christian at this point, and I didn't know very much about the Bible. I believed what was written in this article was true, because it was presented to me as fact, and my teacher did not make any disclaimers or comments about it.
Now, fast forward into the future and I have become a Christian and gotten a thorough education in the Bible. I know now that no credible scholar accepts the idea that there was ever a mention of Lillith in the Garden of Eden, and that Lillith is nothing more than a rabbinic legend regarded highly skeptically from right back to the time it originated.
