It's Mother Day tomorrow...where Brigham Young University is publishing stuff that says worshiping the Father is also indirect worship of this mom-goddess.
(So don't forget to worship at the altar of the female part of the Mormon godhood! /s)
(If Mormonism has a “mom goddess,” tell me again how it defines itself as “monotheism?”)
Hmmm ... forgot all about her ...

There is bound to be an answer among the hundreds of responses this thread will receive.
This is a lie straight from the pit of Hell.
(But that’s just it...no answers = crickets)
Doing the math.
There have been 14 billion people born.
The LDS say 1/3 of the spirit children of Elohim rebelled and became demons.
That’s 21 billion spirit babies born to Elohim.
Elohim and his wives have babies the natural way, intercourse and all.
If he had 1 million wives, each would need to bear 21,000 spirit babies.
8 posts on a thread is “crickets”. Better luck next time.
ah um ah WTF?
Or in other words WTF?

I don’t know if the Mormons say there was 1/3 who “didn’t fight valiantly” but the 1/3 comes from the Christian Bible which the Mormons denounce as incorrect..
The Mormons believe that those who didn’t fight valiantly became black, not demons..
The attraction to a heavenly demigoddess corresponds to the degree one lacks a relationship with the living God, in which we have direct access to God thru the sinless shed blood of Christ, (Heb. 10:19), who is the only Heavenly intercessor btwn God and man (1Tim. 2:5) and who can not only supremely sympathize with our infirmities but uniquely can show and enable us to overcome them, since He was tempted in all points as we are, yet without sin. (Heb. 4:15) Sadly, this pagan attraction to a heavenly demigodess is seen among those who call themselves Christian.
The Catholic Encyclopedia speculates that a further reinforcement of Marian devotion, was derived from the cult of the angels, which, while pre-Christian in its origin, was heartily embraced by the faithful of the sub-Apostolic age. It seems to have been only as a sequel of some such development that men turned to implore the intercession of the Blessed Virgin. This at least is the common opinion among scholars, though it would perhaps be dangerous to speak too positively. Evidence regarding the popular practice of the early centuries is almost entirely lacking..., (Catholic Encyclopedia > Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary)
Who basically say,
As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of the Lord, we will not hearken unto thee. But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes... (Jeremiah 44:16-17)

But do they get into the artificial definition of worship one i said to be merely venerating someone by kneeling before a statue and praising the entity it represented in the unseen world, with adulation, attributes, glory and titles never given in Scripture to created beings (except to false gods), including having the uniquely Divine power glory to hear and respond to virtually infinite numbers of prayers addressed to them, and beseeching such for Heavenly help, and making offerings to them. Which would constitute worship in Scripture, yet a certain religion playing word games imagines they avoid crossing the invisible line between mere "veneration" and worship in so doing.
Moses, put down those rocks! I was only engaging in hyper dulia, not adoring her. Can't you tell the difference?
Bump
What, says one, do you mean we should understand that Deity consists of man and woman? Most certainly I do. If I believe anything that God has ever said about himself...I must believe that deity consists of man and woman...There can be no God except he is composed of the man and woman united, and there is not in all the eternities that exist, or ever will be a God in any other way. We may never hope to attain unto the eternal power and the Godhead upon any other principle...this head composing two parts, male and female.
Many many years ago, I acquired a cassette tape made in the early 70s by a now-forgotten Mormom apologist. The tape was a two-hour discussion of the Dead Sea Scrolls, and how they "proved" all of the distinct doctrines of Mormonism including the existence of "Mother". I wish I could remember who the apologist was!
Back in the late 80s or early 90s, I saw a VCR movie called the God Makers, about Mormomism. It was interesting to say the least. That is where I first heard about the magic underwear.
(Hey we’ve doubled that!)
I’m impressed. Not.
(Keep respondin’...every preview/post click serves as a bump :) )
It’s early yet...
