Genesis 1:26-27
Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness.... So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
This is probably the main verse the WMSCOG uses to show that there is a "Mother God." I've studied the word "Elohim" already, but now I'd like to focus on the phrase, "in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them."
The WMSCOG says this proves there are two gods. Since God created male and female people, then there must be a god of the male image and a god of the female image, they say.
It is clear in the Bible that there is only ONE God, so why did He create both male and female in His image?
I explored this question before, but I came across a good article that examines the subject quite well and thought you'd like to read it. It's a bit long, but worth the read. Check it out...
God as Tender as a Mother?
God is not human, and therefore is neither male nor female as humans are. But when we look at the strengths of men and women, we find that God demonstrates characteristics of both. For instance, He is strong and commanding like a typical man, and yet nurturing and comforting like a typical woman.
The WMSCOG represents "Mother God" as all the wonderful things we expect our earthly mothers to be: tender, caring, sacrificing themselves for their children, the special love of a mother. Do they need a second god to be what they believe their "Father God" is lacking?
There is only ONE God, and the one true God we know from the Bible is already the perfect father and mother combined.
so this website is targeting wmscog... How about Catholic or protestant.....?
ReplyDeleteHi, Anonymous.
ReplyDeleteThere are many websites already that examine the Christian faith, and there are people who have examinined the Catholic church and other denominations. Those resources are not hard to find.
Here's an interesting site:

Is that what you're looking for?
I have studied proofs and objections to faith in God (and Jesus), and it successfully holds up to the test.
The WMSCOG however, is much different from Christianity. After studying the 'proofs' and objections to the WMSCOG, it does not stand up to the test. Plus, experience shows that it tends to have a *negative* effect on people and families.
People need to know this, yet resources about the WMSCOG have been hard to find. That's why I'm here. I hope this website helps you in your own study and testing of the WMSCOG. I'm glad you're here.
