“. It is manifestly not about leaving a “father and mother in heaven.” Awk”

Adam was commanded to leave his farher and mother.

You name them.

Nope. Your interpretation of the verse is nonsense. It does not apply to "leaving" God the Father and whomever you imagine to be the corresponding Mother.

Scripture does not mention Adam and Even "leaving" God the Father on account of their marriage. Their relationship of faith and trust was disrupted by their disobedience, so they were deprived of their intimacy with God--- but God, being omnipresent, was still "there."

Moreover, many married persons in the OT ALL still had a relationship with God the Father. All the married were not for that reason separated from God.

Moreover, there is no Mothergoddess mentioned in Scripture as God's spirit-consort or whatever.

Are you perchance a polytheist?
