Genesis 1:26 "Let us make man in our image"
and if you refer to psalms it says that the first creation of God was Sophia (the spirit wisdom) so that means that Sophia helped create human life, does that not make her a goddess?
i mean i'm not saying you should worship her (as the creation she is not to be worshiped) but that means that we not only have a God but also a Goddess, and that does explain how God has a son.

if you dont want to say she is a Goddess then at least say she is our holy mother.

Well, it's certainly not orthodox Christianity, but I must admit it makes a kind of sense. You're wrong about worship, though. IF the Holy Spirit co-created Jesus before the universe began, then She is just as worthy of worship as the Father and the Son.
Kinda makes you wonder what's planned for the Bride of Christ, doesn't it?

So, because of the goddess thing, I assume this isn't Roman Catholicism. In said Catholicism, the Holy Trinity is the Father (God) The Son(Jesus) and the Holy Spirit.

The term "Holy Mother" typically means the Theotokos, Mary.
God himself is without gender, other than in his incarnate human aspect (Jesus.) We use the male pronouns simply because of the biblical language; it would be difficult for Christians to use a lot of feminine language when our liturgies are so clearly founded on the masculine language used in the Psalms and what not.

Where in the psalms are you referring to?
I've heard the Holy Spirit reffered to as "she" before, but no, not mother. It's an interesting thought, one that shows the limits of language.

It is not the Father and mother and the Son.
It is The Father(GOD), The Son(JESUS), and the Holy Spirit.
Genesis 1:26 "Let us make man in our image"
If you look throughout the Bible or any book that believes in God. You will find the 'US' , "OUR" , 'WE' etc. are used in reference to He is Regal. More suitable for a King, especially in grandeur or magnificence. Not that God had someone else doing the creating with him.

Making up your own little universe, eh?
I guess the Holy Spirit won't be offended if you asign a feminine pronoun.
Sophia was personified femininely in the poetry of the Psalms, yup.

You may be right considering that the holy spirit gives you wisdom.

That's the true Christian way; God is the Father, the Mother, and the Son. There is all sorts of propaganda against apocryphal texts, but the truth is, it is just propaganda. The Bible is corrupt not only because of deliberate alterations, but because there are complete books missing.
It's interesting to note that it is Paul who helped to formulate the "word of God," we he never even met Jesus (he had a vision of Jesus, but did not meet him personally).
