One of the most complete and well-documented online sources for information about the LDS teaching regarding a “Heavenly Mother” was written by ex-Mormon Janis Hutchinson.
Her article, THE DIVINE MOTHER GODDESS OF MORMONISM begins with these eye-opening quotes:
“To a knowledgeable Mormon the idea [of a Heavenly Mother] is as natural as the doctrine of salvation
by grace is to a Christian. It is an integral part of Mormonism.”(Robert McKay, The Evangel)
“The stupendous truth of the existence of a Heavenly mother, as well as a Heavenly Father, [has
become] established facts in Mormon theology.” (Milton R. Hunter, First Council of Seventy)
Hutchinson's article covers these issues:
1. The Mormon belief in a Mother in Heaven.
2. How the doctrine developed.
3. Details of the belief.
4. Statements of LDS leaders verifying the doctrine.
5. Polygamy in heaven: its purpose.
6. The church’s present-day cover-up.
7. Mother Goddesses in antiquity.
8. Are the Biblical writers guilty of hiding the real truth about God’s consort?
9. Mother Goddesses today.
10. What does the Bible have to say about Mother Goddesses?
