Why was Eve only created after Adam complained of loneliness?

If god is so powerful and all knowing he should create a sex doll instead :wink: since god is so smart why must he create eve to temp Adam and make the snake as scapegoat for his own mistake ?

The ancient Israelites that created God and written the scripts had the answers, unfortunately they are in the graveyard and cannot give answer.

In ancient time, no sex doll lei :wink:i=, but many prostitutes in palestine.:wink:

Tamar sold sex to Judah so he thought she was a hooker. Hummm, if Tamar sold sex even once, she was a hooker.

Alas! Both Judah and Tamar were in Jesus Christ's lineage.

Did any of them die due to their illegal and immoral actions? No! Many, whom they sired, became this God's Biblical heroes.

Biblical Contradiction:

Leviticus 21:7&13-14 A priest shall not marry a woman who has been a prostitute or divorced.

What? God commanded His own hero / priest / prophet, Hosea, to marry a hooker in Hosea 1:2. God breaks many of His own commandments when He gets the urge. Do as I say - not as I do. Behold, the God of hypocrisy.

Tamar as a "temple prostitute"

In Hebrew, the word for "prostitute" and "cult prostitute" is the same, leading translators, editors and readers to follow a longtime assumption initiated by the Greek historian Herodotus: that so-called "sacred prostitution" existed in the ancient Near East. Past theories interpreting Genesis 38 have speculated that if "temple prostitution" or "cultic prostituion" existed in ancient Israel, it must have occurred through Canaanite cults such as that of the goddess Asherah, consort of Ba'al, referred to in 2 Kings 23:7. This understanding has been perpetuated by several translations of Christian Bibles that referred to Tamar as a "temple prostitute."

Whether Judah thought her to be a prostitute or a cultic priestess, Tamar was vindicated soon after their encounter when Judah learned of Tamar's pregnancy. Thinking her guilty of fornication, he ordered his tribesmen to bring her out to be burned. When Judah demanded to know who had fathered her child, Tamar produced Judah's signet, belt and staff, announcing: "It was the owner of these who made me pregnant. Take note, please, whose these are, the signet and the cord and the staff."

Caught out, Judah acknowledged that by the levirate custom, Tamar had been right to seek pregnancy through her father-in-law in order to continue the line of her husband Er. Tamar was forgiven and returned to her father-in-law's family, where she gave birth to twin sons, Perez and Zerah.

Rape in the Bible 4

Laws of Rape (Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NLT)

If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her.




1. Psalm23: "Bible indeed is a very well-organized book. One proven case can be found in the Psalm 118.8."

2. Psalm23: "Man, indeed all men made errors but the Bible contains absolutely no errors."

3. Psalm23: "Interesting to note that if the Bible is the word of God (which truly born-again Christians all agree), that the benefits that we get out from this Book cannot be selective, thus it cannot have only 'few gems here and few gems there'' while the rest are 'germs'."

4. Conqueror: "I know the bible is a not so well organised book. Man made errors are expected."

5. George Bernard Shaw: "No man ever believes that the Bible means what it says; he is always convinced that it says what he means."

I don't see the word rape used in any of the verses quoted.

Where is it in the Bible did it say that sex between Tamar and Judah was endorsed by God?
