Jesus never taught about a maternal nature of God the Father!

After all, God was His literal Father -- and Mary was His literal Mother.

But where did Mary get her maternal nature? From God, of course: God, who is the giver of every good gift and the Creator of all that exists. If maternity did not exist in God, it could not exist at all.

This shouldn't surprise anyone, because the Creator of male and female caused both to bear His image (Genesis 1:27; 5:2; etc.) and both to share His divine nature (2 Peter 1:4).

In the beginning “God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them” (Genesis 1:27).

So both male and female reflect the attributes of God and together we see a fuller representation of God’s character.

Genesis 5:2 explains: “(God) created them male and female, and blessed them and called them Mankind (Heb. Adam) in the day they were created.” God called Adam and Eve together Mankind which is the same Hebrew word translated Adam. God is Spirit (John 4:24) and together the male and female reflect more completely the spiritual attributes of God.

The feminists and the Mother-Goddess people push this way too far, because they ultimately don't want to sanctify male and female, but rather, to abolish them.

Notice how the latest iteration of feminist sexuality is the gender dysphoric girl, who starts out despising masculinity and then turns on a dime and decides she is truly masculine inside. Like, "Men are intrinsically evil, and I have a right to *be* one."

The total Ms. is a total mess.
