According to this article the belief of a heavenly mother has been around since the 1800's, so why is it that wms claims that no other church has a mother god.

*note for the below article and website* I found this website speaking of a Heavenly Mother and Mormonism, but after I put up the website it showed article has been removed, so I copied and paste, it's linked to Joseph Smith Heavenly Mother, on google search, don't want people to think I'm making this up.

This article is about Heavenly Mother within the Latter Day Saint movement. For a more broad view, see Heavenly Mother.
In Mormonism, Heavenly Mother or the Mother in Heaven is the mother of human spirits and the wife of God the Father. Those who accept the Mother in Heaven doctrine trace its origins to Joseph Smith, the founder of the Latter Day Saint movement. The doctrine was not widely known, however, until after the movement's succession crisis upon Smith's death in 1844.
The Heavenly Mother doctrine is mainly taught by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church[2] the Restoration Church of Jesus Christ [3] and branches of Mormon fundamentalism, such as the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints[citation needed] The doctrine is not generally recognized by other faiths within the broader Latter Day Saint movement, such as the Community of Christ, where Trinitarianism is predominant.
In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, she is sung about in one church hymn and briefly discussed in church teaching manuals and [4] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavenly_Mother_(Mormonism)
Renita, I had a quick read in my bible through those verses in Hebrews and 1Corinthians. The thing that gets me about Hebrews is that the author of the book doesn't make any mention of any coming messianic age. All the prophecies are given a past-tense, already fulfilled interpretation. I also noticed some things in Hebrews that seem to be at odds with their "in the order of Melchizedek" yarn too.
Not trying to debate the COG prophecies with you per say, but you're really helping me to understand them a lot better which is my goal. Thanks so much for indulging me 🙂
Give me a verse that’s written in past tense. As far as the new age, after studying the Bible in “truth” you will see all that is hidden in plain sight per cog.
Because of the bread and wine and Jesus being the high priest
Paul said he was the high priest so the Christian belief is that Jesus was the high priest who brought the bread and wine as did Melchizedek
For all the TLDRers, I bolded the points. I'm not sure if this has been discussed in this form. But we also have some new visitors, so.. here ya go!
On my drive to work this morning, I was thinking about the Last Adam.
The WMSCOG has a video sermon entitled: The Last Adam & the Passover. In the description it says: Just as the first man Adam had the first woman Eve, the Last Adam must have the Last Eve. If humans fail to receive the Last Adam and Eve, there is no more opportunity for them to go back to the kingdom of heaven.
We can rightfully presume the last Adam and the last Eve are Ash and Zahng respectively. Here's what I was thinking about: 1 Cor 15:45-49 So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual. The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven. As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven. And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly man.
They say the above couldn't refer to Jesus because Jesus isn't the Spirit, he's the Son. Members, think about this: Who gives life on earth? Mothers. According to your beliefs, who gives spiritual life? God the Mother. According to your beliefs, who is the Spirit? God the Father, more specifically, Ash. How can Ash be a life-giving spirit when God the Mother gives spiritual life? The life giving spirit is the last Adam, not the last Eve.
Then who's the last Eve? The church. The church is the bride of Christ as Ash many years ago.
