I love my mum and dad equally, I worship them equally, I pay attention to them both equally.
Why is that not encouraged to be the case with our heavenly parents?
equally perhaps...but not the same. Without a doubt you loved your mum differently than you loved your dad.

Thanks. Can you try and answer the question?

Drifting, I want you to think about this for a while. If Heavenly Father did not want a Heavenly Mother to endure hearing the blasphemies, etc. that He has had to endure, do you think it would be wise for Him to keep commanding that, or would it be wiser for Him just to keep silent on the matter?!

If there was such a thing, do you honestly feel that it wouldn't know regardless? There isn't such a thing because creation doesn't involve procreation, and God is only one in three beings and an additional is not part of the Godhead.
I beg to differ Nipper! What does Luke 3:38 state? You seem to know the Bible pretty well. It states that Adam was the son of God! Do you have a spin on that scripture also?

I've already CFR'd you on this in a post above. Do you have any supporting references or are you merely baselessly speculating?

Luke 3:38 Wycliffe Bible (WYC)
38 that was of Enos, that was of Seth, that was of Adam, that was of God.
My understanding is not that Adam was born to God, but that he found his point of origin at the hand of God (made from dust and God breathed). My doctrine doesn't hang on Adam being God's spirit baby. I am a god only as far as GOD allows me to function as HIS emissary. I am not everlasting to everlasting. I am not the Creator or anther Creator. But I can manage God's affairs with His permission/help --- not alone.
Nipper, you and Albion keep quoting "Papa Joe" sites, etc., and keep putting and false Evangelical mad made spin on things in feeble attempts to justify those false beliefs. The Greek that it was translated from clearly shows SON of God, for Adam!
