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 Adams wife and equal. Because Lilith refused to be subservient or submissive, she was sent away from Eden.
This is a somewhat accurate presentation of Liliths bio; however, its certainly not the whole story. Heres 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 industrys 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 Adams 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 Liliths 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 whos 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, its a good reminder that some know exactly what it means to be pro-choice.
And on a somewhat related topic, the only Tanith I worship is Miss Belbin.
Adam blamed Eve and God in the same breath,
then Eve blamed the serpent.
Not a lot of taking responsibility for choices going on there.
Could be. I suppose it could also have different meanings for different people. Who knows?
Is leaving your parents care, the same thing as being kicked out for disobeying God the Father? I thought they got kicked out for doing something they were told not to do, and the result was original sin?
Yours is a better stretch for nowadays.
If you want to call that your personal theory about evil in general without connecting it to the Bible, whatever, go for it. It is not Christian or Jewish doctrine, it is not what the Bible teaches. I've presented to you Scripture that directly contradicts what you are teaching is the meaning of these passages. It is not some game to distort God's word. It is a very, very bad move.
Since you are apparently very shaky on Christian doctrine (see below) you can be cut some slack, but you have been given the proper information and you are responsible for it. If you really think spoiled kids are the source of evil, ask yourself if someone would be acting as anything other than a spoiled kid if they say "God's word says what I say it says."
If Jesus died on the cross to clense our original sin the one from the garden of eden, then why do people even get baptised to cleanse the original sin in the first place if it was already cleared 2,000 years ago? Seems redundant, doesnt it?
The baptism is a public sign that one is siding with Christ. It does not in itself cleanse sin. If you think it's redundant, then perhaps you can explain why Jesus commanded it as part of the Great Commission in Matthew 28:18-20?
Beliefs and theories must be actually based on something (besides personal preference or opinion)
or they are not rational.
Biblically based beliefs are rational.
Other theories/philosophies/beliefs are not.
So? Not everyone is in the bible. I’m responding to the 3rd paragraph of the thread, not to what you want.
Read for later. Thanks.
I imagine God would have known that also, and things would probably be different.
Just.......
wow........
Makes me wonder what sort of church you're going to. I have heard sermons preached on Genesis 3 many times in my day, and I can't recall one time where the preacher didn't point out that Adam was standing right there while the serpent conned his wife and did nothing.
Why not? Aren’t all things possible with God?
bump
Whoa!, was that a shot?
It was a merciful act in that it kept them from eating of the Tree of life and living forever in a sinful state.
By dying, we have the opportunity for a fresh start in a body not corrupted by sin; one that can then eat of that tree and live forever in an unsinful state.
