Asking me this question doesn’t address this post.
I believe that our heavenly Mother is addressed in this scriptire:

(Old Testament | Genesis 1:26 - 27)

26 ¶ And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

I believe He is addressing His Wife and that He created Eve in Her image after He created Adam in His own image..

Okay, since you are just going to keep repeating yourself, what from the text leads you to believe that He’s addressing Heavenly Mother, and not someone else?

Because God the Father said: " Let us make man in our image, after our likeness". Eve is not in the likeness of Jesus Christ, so it was not Him the Father was talking to. So by deduction it would have been a female. Afterwards God the Father said: " So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him" So Adam was in the image of God the Father. He then said: "male and female created he them." The part missing here is image. He did not say Eve was in His image, obviously she isn't. Eve is not in the likeness of the Father or the Son

Is that a mistranslation then?

God wants us to be diligent and figer out things for ourselves:

(New Testament | 2 Peter 3:14 - 18)

14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

I was just wondering if it was mistranslated since it doesn’t fit with what you claim it says.

I find it hard to believe that Eve is in the likeness of the Godhead, they are all male. That is a very strange perception.
I think it’s strange that you base your doctrine of a Heavenly Mother on hearsay and conjecture.


God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
— Genesis 1:27

Notice, though, that He created them in His image. Not their image.
