>>I’m not mormon, nor have I had any experience with them. But she is our spiritual mother. I am sorry that you find the doctrine revolting, but it is scriptural.<<

Not according to my bible. I think the real danger of your comment is not that you think she is our spiritual mother. Rather, it is that you think we even need one. “God as our father” is a euphemism to explain our relationship in a “now we see darkly, but then clearly” way. There is no sex in eternity. There is no “father and mother”.

Christ goes out of his way to say that OUR mother and father and brothers, are those who follow the Lord.

Enough for me.

Apparently scripture is useful when it agrees with you and inconvenient when it does not.

I suppose Theotokos would also trouble you?
