wife

[keky96]

Hi, I would like to ask a few questions about the mormon church.
first do you belief that God as a wife.

[AngelonaWing]

YES How else can you explain you Own Mother or Wife on this earth if we didn't have a Heavenly Mother like our Father in Heaven?

We have been created in Heavenly Fathers Image... so my Guess is the MEN have our Heavenly Father's Attributes and the Women have our Heavenly Mothers attributes...............

[keky96]

were can you show me in the king james bible, that we have a heavenly mother ?

[keky96]

also why dont you talk about this in your preaching, when mormon mistionarys come knocking on your door ?

Actually you can ask your questions on learn about MC part of the Boad. This part is for introducing oneself. Welcome to the forum that is made in order to ask and answer questions about LDS Church and mormonisme in a friendly environement.

Just to enlighten a bit. It says we were created in Gods image to a man and to a woman. Children of this world have a mother and a father so it seems obvious thereis both in Heaven too.
We do not speak so much of her as it is too holy to talk about.

Just think of how God's name and Christ's names have been taken in vain and even turned into vulgar expressions.

Would you want your mother's or wife's name to be treated similarly? Because if it was a widely known aspect of the gospel, you can bet that Her name would be dragged through the mud as well.

There is only one place in LDS scripture that talks about a Heavenly Mother - and that's our Hymn book in the hymn "O My Father". One of the versus teaches that we "have a Mother there."

And yes, the hymn book is also considered scripture along with the Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine & Covenants and Pearl of Great Price.

The ultimate question-is where then did God/ Heavenly Father come from?
We say Eternal-but that is a difficult thing to understand.
Why would One God need a wife?
Do the Hebrew scriptures teach that Heavenly Father had a wife?
Do the Jews teach that today-or in the past?
-if so where?

Catholic Theology-which venerates the Blessed Virgin Mary- and considers her the "Mother of God" as we believe she is Jesus's Mother.

Still-we do not place her in the Godhead/Trinity.

So why does God need a wife? Did they have sex?

Missionaries will answer any question, and I know I was taught of Heavenly Mother prior to being baptised, but they teach by the spirit and they have to teach what is required for us to return to live with our Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother is not a knowledge that is required for that so unless asked or prompted they may not teach about Her

Actually, it's not church doctrine. But when you realize that we believe that God is our father, then it stands to reason to accept that there must be a mother. It's implied strongly. And the reason our missionaries don't reach it is because it isn't official doctrine.
