A woman created before Eve?

Q: Was there another person before Eve? My pastor says there was another person before Eve, God did not like her and destroyed her. If so can you tell me more about her! Thank You.

A: The simple answer is no. There was no pre-Eve woman. This has never been a belief held by traditional, orthodox Christianity. The Bible tells the simple story of Adam as the first man and Eve as the first woman. There is a mythical story of a female night demon named Lilith from Jewish folklore. It was developed during the middle ages into the tale of a woman who was first married to Adam. It is a story that is not based in anything biblical and it can be disregarded.
