Question 2. With the council of nicia that not all books of the bible that where written by women because i am in the understanding that there were 7 total books that were not included because of the women who wrote them?


Answer
1. Is it true that Adam had a wife named Lillithe before eve and if so is she stated in the bible and where?"

No definately not,Eve was his one & only wife :¬)

2. 7 books that were not included because of the women who wrote them?

Again no; , God transmitted his message to us by the hand of imperfect MEN. But there is no reason to think that the Bible is any less authentic than would be a message from God by word of mouth, through angels, or through a book written in heaven and dropped to earth. And it has far more human appeal. The proof of the Bible’s appeal is that it is by far the most widely distributed book, translated into many more languages than any other book. It is the most enduring, and has given guidance to men and women of all ages and in all places.

all the best
