READ THIS! I am a Christian.....
Okay in class my friend asked the teacher if Adam and Eve havesex is it Incest? My teacher says that technically it would be masturbation because Eve was made of Adam. So then she explain how in missing pieces of the Bible there was another woman who was made from dirt and was cast into the land of Knod because she would not submit to Adam. And that later when her sons marry they marry two women from the land of Knod. So if Adam was the first when does God create the two wives. And what about the first woman is it possible for her to have a bloodline or to just die off? Would that explain why some women tend to "defy" men?
*We were debating about this*
So Discuss
-Whats you opinion

I've heard about it. It's the myth of the so-called "Lilith", supposedly created first than Eve. It was said that Lilith wanted to play the dominant role in sexual relationships with Adam, but appearently this was not right in his eyes.
Some people also say that Lilith is the mother of all the vampires (?).
Lilith has been called a fallen angel who plays the role of Satan's wife. But those are just doctrines of the Kabbalah, and thus, are just "based out of human tradition, guesswork, and an effort to unearth the mystical interpretations of Scripture. The problem is that it contradicts biblical teaching" (CARM).
On the other hand, your teacher's explanation on whether or not sex between Adam and Eve would be incest or masturbation, is really weird (somewhat comical, actually xp ). My viewpoint is that it's still considered sex, even if Eve was made of Adam.

Your teacher and friend have really screwed up religious knowledge. 'Nuff said.

As Imperator Iosephus said, the first woman was Lilith. However, Lilith is from Jewish mythology, not Christian mythology and is therefore not entirely relevant to your religion (any more than the Christian myths are relevant to the Muslim myths). (It's also important to remember that Satan isn't an evil force in the Jewish religion (and is instead a servant of YHWH).) I believe the purpose of Lilith's story was to remind men that women aren't always obedient and to judge a woman by more than her appearance, but the culture that period of the Bible portrays is "obsolete", for a lack of a better term.
As for Adam and Eve, I think it would be more a matter of cloning and therefore incest. Incest was not named as a sin (or at least off-limits) by YHWH until further down the biblical timeline.
Finally, although the bible doesn't mention the creation of more than two people, it is generally assumed that YHWH made more than just two people. Adam and Eve are merely the ones that story focuses on (likely because they were first and possibly because they were more relevant to creation).
