Now, about that other woman adam had, what was her name, you know, the one that was not subservient to him?

You mean Lilith?

both of them walking around naked and told not to partake of it.

They weren't told they couldn't have sex. They were told only to have sex when God wanted them to (in season, so to speak). This was so that birth would be in harmony with the seasons, and the Universe.

Adam and Eve listened to the serpent (the lust) in themselves and decided different. That is why God told Eve that women would have pain in childbirth from then on. That is the 'punishment' for procreating at will, and no longer 'listening' to God.

At least, that's what I read.

Are you absolutely certain that you are not adding to, or taking away from God’s word there?
