I believe she has the same powers and glory as the Father (maybe manifested in differing ways, but I'm guessing on that one) She isn't prayed to, but I pray about Her and ask Father about Her plenty. I've told Him I need my Mother at times and a very strong spirit has often been the response I receive. I knew one woman who would thank Heavenly Father for Heavenly Mother in each prayer she made in church. She's not worshiped as much. There's still a song or two in the hymns mentioning Her....and song is a both a form of prayer and worship. Personally I worshiped her just recently through a painting and I worship Her through pondering her existence and reading whatever I can find about her... and in someways I feel my temple work is also part of that worship (if not in literal word then in the promises and spirit I often feel there). Holland testified of Her in conference and testifying of Her divinity IMO is a form of worship. There's evidence that She may have been more worshiped in previous eras and I hope that one day her worship and our knowledge of her will expand as well....after all, we're still in the era of restoration. She's not really talked about, but that talk is increasing. And I hope the more we do so, the more we'll find Her and the more we'll realize She is just as active and present and necessary in our dailyI mortal existence as HF is. With luv, BD I was told not to pray to HER..but I have talked to her often..I want my Mom!
stemelbow Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 That Jesus was deity before He lived in mortality speaks to the notion that male can be deity without a female. is it possible for a female to be deity without a male? Could Heavenly Mother be deity without any dependence on Heavenly Father? I'd hope so.

Meadowchik Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 I mentioned Heavenly Mother in my talk on Sunday. It felt good to do so. 1

What makes her a deity? Does she have the same powers and glory as Heavenly Father? She is exalted. She has all knowledge, power, and everything else. Our prayers and worship do not make a being divine. They are divine before we pray and worship them. If we do not worship or pray to them directly does not change what they are.

With luv, BD While the article does not have a date time, it does mention Heavenly Mother is a doctrine. What makes her a deity? It is mentioned that, "Men and women cannot be exalted without each other". Gail 2

Were we born into our spirit forms because of a relationship between two heavenly beings? Were we formed in some way without two genders needing to form a one? I just don't see how we know this stuff. 1
