Ah, Lilith. The mythical/legendary first wife of Adam with whom he committed fornication, whereupon she was banished or something for a time and then Havah was created, who was better for him....or something. Lilith was some shade form of the serpent and Adam had children with her--hence, the 'seed of the serpent'.
Great. So, where's Lilith in the Bible?
I notice you've resorted to highly scholarly sources such as the Right Reverend Strong's (Doctor of Divinity) exhaustive work. Please...expound.

So, basically, Adam had been formerly married to a flying owl woman. That must have been a difficult relationship, but things don't seem to have gotten any better with the temptress Eve. Adam just ... couldn't get it right. I understand that at this primordial time his choices may have been limited, but if Eve came from Adam's rib, where, pray tell, did Lilith come from? The back of his hand or something?
She kind of sounds like a Banshee.

I'm not trying to ruin the belief system of the Ordo Illuminati, or the Bohemian Club, or the Skull and Bones or the Masons or anything, but there's not a possibility it might just refer to a screach owl is there?
You wouldn't say it might just possibly mean what the term literally means, would you? Because, you know, the term לִילִית just really means a screach owl. But I know that this doesn't quite have the 'umph' necessary for desolate Babylon and her adherants, so I'll let them keep their owl woman in the woods if they will. Talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel as far as false gods go, she's not even a tantric like the Shulamite. I don't understand the appeal. Anyway, I think Adam was smart to get a divorce settlement on that one.

I agree with your point here Huckleberry.
I find debates like these pointless.
Especially scholarly debates.
Reason being that everyone insists that their source is the most correct.
Peer review even is suspect.
We don't know who is paying who when you only have the authority of a peer.
The key is, you believe what you want to believe, or you believe something because you are convicted of it. If what you are forcing yourself to believe makes you upset or feel like you're in trouble then it's a good idea to re-evaluate your beliefs. If the Holy Spirit is guiding you in a specific study, then you needn't worry because others will come to the same conclusion.
If you don't believe in God, then why are you trying so hard to disprove Him?

The Lilith Code : The name "Lilith appears twice in the Jerusalem Bible. So I researched what I could find out about it. The Encyclopedia Brittanica gives the story about "Lilith" being Adam's first wife before Eve. Further research indicates that this may very well be true.

Why teach medieval midrash on Christian Chat? It has nothing to do with Christianity or Old Testament Judaism.
Alphabet of Sirach - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The Alphabet of Jesus ben Sirach (Alphabetum Siracidis, Othijoth ben Sira) is an anonymous medieval text attributed to Shimon ben Yeshua ben Eliezer ben Sira, the author of the Wisdom of Sirach. It is dated to anywhere between A.D. 700 and 1000."
