but does that mean there is a God the Mother?

"Father" in case has nothing to do with gender, it has to do with the creative/generative principle. It's like asking, "If there is a Father Time, is there a Mother Time?" or "If there is a Mother Nature, is there a Father Nature?" or "If there is a Big Brother, is there a Big Sister?"

Quite possibly. Have you ever heard of a father without a mother? Most Christians tend to believe that if it's not mentioned in the bible then it's not so. A very limited view...do they really believe that God would tell them EVERYTHING?

The mother of God, was human. Mary. Just a human, no diety. But Jesus, the son of God, was Born both of God (the Father) and of Man (or in this case woman....Mary)

no. it is more illustrious than it is literal... but that is the relationship.
while Jesus is indeed the son of the Most High, he is also the agent of God, the person of God, the Word of God in the flesh.
it is not meant to be understood completely. for if we had a God we could completely explain, i would be destitute, because a simple God is no one's God.

No.
God has made a progressive revelation of His nature, personality, and so on, but always as a Father according to the Bible.

Nice point. Just goes to show you that men, not man, created religion.
