just for the record, the Lilith myth undermines so much of Christian theology as to be on par with Dan Brown's myth of Jesus being married to Mary Magdalene. No Christian is obligated to 'respect' it or regard it as anything but cheap, no matter how Jewish or medieval it is.

#as various people in my notes have been implying #before anyone starts yes I know Dan Brown is not the author of that myth #and for the record orthodox Jews do not consider Lilith any kind of vital part of their religion either #she's an exegetical aid for them at BEST. and a pagan idol at worst.#Christianity #x #furthermore!#any human addendum or revision or insertion into Scripture is cheap by comparison #because redemptive history actually happened and the Chief Account of it is infallible #the Holy Grail is cheaper than the water of baptism #the Christmas Rose is cheaper than the fig tree #but neither of those actually twist the canon of Scripture to create a new theology
