This is becoming more and more common actually. The phrase Mother God can be found in various aspects of the Lutheran, Anglican/Episcopal, Methodist and other groups services. Usually in adapted forms of songs or worship in areas with strong feminist influence. In some of these groups it has also, on occasion, allowed for coordination with “ancient faiths” worship of goddess combined with Christian worship forms.

Since you are former SDA… I’ve even seen it in La Sierra University Church in their “liturgical” worship.

There is a distinct difference between Mother OF God and Mother God.

How so? What is their “liturgical” worship service?

I am aware that they were the first church to ordain women despite the fact that the Conference of SDA’s had not approved of it. But I didn’t know about this “feminine” aspect.

Its one of their worship options on their official website. They follow a form of the revised common lectionary, an the church year [making all sorts of ‘tweaks’] and have some form of liturgical service. In a pentecost liturgy they posted you find the words :
Mother, Brother, holy Partner;
Father, Spirit, Only Son;
We would praise your name forever,
one as three, and three in one.
We would share your life, your passion,
share your word of world made new,
Ever singing, ever praising,
one with all, and one with you.

Which is really rather surprising on any number of levels.

Wouldn’t this dismiss the vast majority of non-Catholic, non-Orthodox sects as being Scriptural, even based on their own sola claim?

Absolutely, the vast majority of people that claim sola Scriptura don’t actually practice it. Most don’t even know what it is.

I was just visited yesterday by a young lady wanting to share her faith with me and wanting to show me a couple of Bible verses pertaining to “God the Mother”.

I politely declined. I then went to search a little to see what this was all about. She said she was from Elohim Bible College.

Anyone have any information that you can share with me?

As in the eternal Triune God is gender specific? That’s different…:eek:At best God, within time and space, walked the earth as a man…the incarnate Son of God i.e. incarnated as a male - Jesus the Christ. Curious as to what kind of proof they would offer…?
 
I wouldn’t label these folks as Sola Scriptura, which means by scripture alone. I think they should be called “My Owna Scriptura”.
