"Yes, The Bible teaches Adam was given life by God without a mother? Just as Adam was made from the ground, Eve was made from Adam, from a portion of his side. They did not need a mother or father. To depict God as Mother implies that he gave birth, rather than created. Throughout the worlds history of idolatry cultures believed in a sky father and earth 5mother. To believe in a mother and father God is what pagans believed in the ancient world. For example in Mesopotamian tradition, the human race was created by Enki and the Mother Goddess.
In modern times this church is not the only one to promote a mother God. Mary Baker Eddy interpreted the meaning of, "Our Father which art in heaven," in the Lord's Prayer as "Our Father-Mother God, all harmonious." Mormonism teaches that Jesus (and all spirits) is the offspring of Father God and a heavenly mother in his pre-existence. The Moonies teach that the Holy Spirit is a "female spirit"—the "True Mother" and spiritual wife of Jesus (Divine Principle, p. 215). In the occult message found in the Urantia book, Jesus is said to have a co-creator consort, the “Mother Spirit” of Nebadon.
When interpreting Scripture. If you neglect the foundational doctrines, your understanding of the Word of God will be distorted with unusual ideas, bringing confusion. There is nothing in the Bible that would describe the true God like this, this is a devilish distortion of the scripture. There is a current trend by feminists to redefine the character of God as Mother but this church takes it even further insisting they are separate gods.
The Scripture reveals God exclusively as Father. Jesus taught us to call God Father (Abba) (John 13:20) God has no sexual identity. His character includes feminine traits (Isaiah: 42:14; 45:10; 49:15; 66:13) but he is not once called mother or considered a she.
Malachi 2:10 “Have we not all one Father? Has not one God created us? Jesus speaks of a “ Father in heaven”
(Matt 5:16), never a Mother (Mt.6:1,6,8-9,14,18,26,32 etc.). NOT once is a term or phrase “mother” used for God except by pagans. To attribute this teaching to the Bible is to have an utter disregard for the word of truth. This makes them polytheists not monotheists.
They use the creation of Adam to prove elohim is both Father and Mother. “Both males and females were created in the image of God, and thus it is clear that God has two images: a male image and a female image. When God said, “Let us make man in our image,” God used the word “us”-a plural term-instead of using “me.” We come to understand that not one God, but two Gods-a Father and a Mother-worked together during the Creation. Such plural terms are used to describe God” (they then cite the passages of “us” to describe God).
Gen. 1:26-27 “Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness...” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them”
They say, “The above verse states that God has two images-a male image and a female image. Until now, we have only known and called upon the male image of God: “Father.” Then how should we call upon the female image of God? Logically, we should refer to God's female image as “Mother.” This is why God had said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness.”
"God is Spirit (Jn.4:24) He is invisible, all knowing and all powerful. Then the argument they use for mother and father should also apply to everything. In the Hebrew language, image (tselem) is related to nature, the immaterial part of man. It means we have a spiritual nature like God but in a finite way. Man was created to reflect his creator. Man has an eternal spirit which can live on after the physical body dies. otherwise if mans image was physical in the image of God, Jesus would not have had to take the form of a man he would have already possessed it.
They are incorrectly using a human definition to describe God, it should be the opposite. God’s qualities were put in man, not mans qualities put in God. What they have done is have God both male and female, because humanity is both male and female (as are all creatures). Does God have a literal body as we, does he have reproductive organs and bodily functions as we do! The error should be obvious.
The pagan concept of the Triunity was encapsulated with a Father and a Mother. The reason Gen.1:26 is applied to Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit and not to a Father and mother is because these are the only persons called God in the Bible. Only God is eternal, and all three persons have this and the other attributes of God applied to them, what is clearly missing is a mother. The Father is eternal (Isa. 63:16; James 1:17). The Son is eternal, (Heb. 13:8); Speaking of Jesus (Micah 5:2); 1 Tim. 1:17 Now to the King eternal, immortal” (1 Tim.6:16). The Holy Spirit is eternal (Heb.9:14). All three have creation attributed to them: The Father (Eph.3:14; Mal 2:10). The Son (John 1:3; Heb.1:2; Col. 1:16). The Holy Spirit (helper/comforter) (Ps. 104:30, Job 26:13, 33:4)."
