Who believes or has even heard of a Mother God?

Question

I'm not trying to trample toes here, I am a sincere follower of God. But I have heard of the principle of a female creator from a religion, and it made me wonder. Could there be a female deity that co-incides with our Heavenly Father? Or is it just mother earth? Or is it that we just cannot wrap our 10 % brain usage around it all? Or do I just ask too many questions? hmmmm

Answer 1

I believe in a Mother Goddess as do a large number of Pagans, past and present. She's called many names, including Mother Earth. Some Christians even refer to her as Mary. Christianity is actually one of the only, if not the only, patriarchal religions that believes that there is no female deity at all. Nearly all of the other religions and cultures since the dawn of time believed in a Mother Goddess. One of the laws of nature is that you must have balance for everything. So, at least to me, the same rings true for God. Why and how would have male without the female?

There is way more out there than meets the eye that most people don't understand because they've been taught over the years by the church that it is entirely fantasy and therefore evil. Because they'd been told that it was not real, they quit believing in it and thus it was forgotten for so long. This is the same reason why children are so openminded and willing to believe, whereas as they get older they become jaded and more closed-minded to certain beliefs and possibilities. The fact that we as humans actually don't use our full brain's capacity has alot to do it with it as well.

In the Bible, in the original Hebrew, most of the names for God are actually female, not male. Yet God is always referred to as "he" and "father", which doesn't correspond. He also mentions "we" and "us" on numerous occasions when talking about himself. Combined with the female names, it makes sense there would be a female deity as well.

Answer 2

Our Creator is complete. It's not until the Lifeforce leaves the Creator, that is breaks down into what we understand as the
masculine and feminine. Flowing from the Creator out to
Creation, and back.
Our spirits are made of both these aspects, as they come together at all levels to help create life.
There is a polarizing, (magnetic pulling) effect in our world that
causes one to be drawn more toward the masculine or
feminine. As we know, humans are much more complicated
than just being male and female. In that there are masculine
women, and feminine men.
The Book mentions a Queen of Heaven. There are Higher
Intelligences. We are to show respect to them. But refrain
from getting awestruck and worshipping them.

Answer 3

I am a pagan and I although I don't believe in God but the powers behind what people have deemed God, I do know people who worship only the female goddess, they are often referred to as Dianic Wiccans or Dianic Pagans. Most Wiccans and Pagans worship the duel nature of God, which includes female and male entities. It is a natural religion that follows nature, animals and plants have duel natures so why wouldn't God.

Answer 9

thank you for this question. I particularly could no longer have faith that somebody suggested that for the period of their answer. besides i comprehend God hears my prayers and that i'm Catholic. What kills me is they (Protestants which contains Fundamentalist/Evangelical, "Born back") kinds ask for persons to wish for them it is calling intercession yet of guy jointly as us Catholics do a similar ingredient yet with the saints and the Blessed mom.

It's a myth that we only use 10% of our brain. We actually use all of it, we just don't know exactly how 90% of it works.
