November 29, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Every once in a while, one stumbles upon a terrifying level of honesty among abortion supporters. Normally, the truth is something that refreshes us when we come upon it - not so in this realm.
Such is the nomenclature of what appears to be a moderately successful group dedicated solely to providing low-income women with abortion money, called the Lilith Fund.
The Texas-based group explains its name on its website as follows: “Lilith was the first woman created by God, as Adam’s wife and equal. Because Lilith refused to be subservient or submissive, she was sent away from Eden.”
This is a somewhat accurate presentation of Lilith’s bio; however, it’s certainly not the whole story. Here’s how the Hebrew legend, as first described in the Alphabet of Ben Sira of the 8th-10th century, ends: after Lilith flew away (and was not sent) from Eden, God punished her by dictating that one hundred of her own demon children would be killed each day. She responds by asserting her perpetual desire to sicken and kill newborn infants.
The abortion industry’s poster girl if ever there was one.
In fact, the primordial population control expert bears a significance far beyond Hebrew culture. The recognition of Lilith, Lilit, or Lilitu as a demoness of night or wind traces an etymological path through the earliest civilizations, believed first to appear as early as 4000 BC in Sumer. “Lilith” may even be mentioned in the Bible, Isaiah 34:14: after God has reduced Edom to an uninhabitable waste, “the lilith … find[s] for herself a place to rest” there. In Assyrian, Babylonian, and Greek mythology, Lilith emerged as a strong symbol of perverse barrenness, a desert-dwelling monster with breasts devoid of milk, that terrified nearby mothers by strangling and devouring their children.
Unsurprisingly, as Adam’s supposed original wife, Lilith is touted in Wiccan and occult circles to this day as the “first Eve” or “first mother” over and above Eve herself and the New Eve, Mary, whose selfless openness to life represents Lilith’s pure inverse.
In her Greco-Roman incarnation, Lilith (Lamia in Latin) was an even more fascinating - and insightful - symbol of the total corruption of female fertility. There we learn the child-eating Lamia actually suffers unbearable grief from the sight of her own dead babies, a grief made eternal because Zeus had forced her eyes to remain open permanently. In a gesture of pity, Zeus allowed Lamia occasionally to find relief by pulling her eyeballs out of their sockets. (Well, that was nice.)
The bizarre myth, an uncanny portrait of post-abortive grief, echoes in testimonies from the women of Silent No More Awareness depicting decades of being torn with obsessive anguish over their lost little ones.
One might wonder what would possess the Lilith Fund to follow through with such a cheery mascot. On its Facebook page earlier this year, the group eerily invited fans to express their devotion to abortion by posting the phrase “I am meeting Lilith” as their status, “if you have had an abortion or know someone who’s had an abortion.”
The Fund notes that old Lil is today “the feminist icon of the free-spirited strong woman” - and in fact, the revoltingly barren, sex-crazed, child-killing monster has found favor in modern “feminist theology” as a symbol of rebellion against patriarchal repression. Other pro-abortion feminist organizations have snapped up the name as well. (One of several such blogs, The Lilith Plan, helps women self-abort and even provides gruesome instructions for an illegal do-it-yourself D&C abortion.)
It seems some abortioneers are at least honest enough to openly associate with the child-killing demon who is even more well-fed in our modern world than she was 6000 years ago. Even if relatively few, it’s a good reminder that some know exactly what it means to be “pro-choice.”
The Apostles <(not including Saul since he was NOT an Apostle and yes most of what he wrote was deceitful as it was his oppions that comprise his letters and not direct quotes of what Yahushua said since he was NOT present with Yahushua and spent next to no time with the Apostles save in Jerusalem in ~50CE)>did not know the word "Jesus" or "Christ" but they did know Yahushua and Yahuweh and Chrestaunous (the Roman term for the followers of the Way).
That the writers post John's death (2nd century+) of the “New Testament” purposely mis-translated the Scriptures is evidence that Yahuweh has given us freewill to mock and abuse the gifts He has bestowed on us.
Superior knowledge is something you have in abundance but next to no knowledge of history or Satan's deceitful behavior. The “errors” is not my view but is readily acknowledge by hundred's of scholars but you would have to look as only a few of them fully express the information.
The 1st century Chrestuanous would only know Scriptures if they went to the Synagogue as there were not readily available text from which to study but you already knew that so why be coy ?
So this is as far as I care to engage your displayed ignorance.
If you want to “study” the matter further than try the most in-depth current Scriptures translation at

Of course God can do anything, but what he can do beyond our ability to understand is not defined by us or created in our imaginations.
“Our faiths are the ultimate relativisms.”
Except Christian faith, which is supported by objective evidence. From the all the things of creation, to Christ’s empty tomb and eyewitnesses to the risen Christ.
No it isn’t, we don’t even know what it is...but it still exists, right?.
Objective evidence as related/referenced to scripture, correct?
I use the term objective evidence in reference to events accepted by most mainstream scholars as historical record.
Feminists are awfully evil, aren’t they? I guess one should never attribute to malice what may be explained by ignorance, but how ignorant are they?
I use the term relative when references are used.
This is not a little debate between you and me. It’s a battle you’re having with truth, completely independent of my involvement.
I disagree. All this is, is a discussion on an anonymous internet forum, a way to pass time, a little entertainment...nothing more.
Sounds like you’re trying to reassure yourself.
No, just correcting your mistaken assumption.
Sure.
Look. If all you’ve got left, is to tell me about why I say what I do and why and how I really feel, then we may as well end this discussion now. All you’re doing is wasting my time.
