Goddess |
| Goddess is the term to use to affirm the feminine nature or aspect of deity. The belief is expressed in three ways: Revering Mother Nature, or the Earth itself, as divine (see Gaia ), worshiping a female deity (often linked to primitive pagan religions, as in Wicca), and the search by some women for the divine spark of the goddess within themselves. |

For at least 2000 years, the world has used
a
masculine pronoun to describe
God, but of late, there has been a
movement to declare God to be female. Is there any reason to
actually believe that GOd id female? |

The very first words in the Bible are usually translated.
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
An
alternative translation reads:
At first, the goddesses brought forth the heavens and the earth.
The word
for God in that text,
Elohim,
can easily be translated
Goddesses,
according
to strict Hebrew
grammar, but traditionally (as a bow to patriarchism) it is
translated
God.
In the Bible,
Adam Kadmon,
the
first creation
of God,
calls his
companion Eve (Hebrew;
life) saying, "She is the mother of all life.
From the very
beginning, great fertile, beautiful Mother Earth has provided
everything needed for the comfort and luxury of humanity.
Her bounteous breasts provide the fruits, grains and the
flowers, in their season.
She gives birth to and sustains all life on
Earth.
She is seen by many New Agers as our the creator.
Of coure, any thought about the gender of deity is moot, for deity is a spirit,
not a physical being. God has no physical body parts, sexual or otherwise,
because God is spirit. |
