Who is the divine feminine in Christianity?

So, I came across a Reddit post asking about the divine femininity in Christianity. And the poster was asking about why this wasn’t mentioned more. The poster mentioned that the divine feminine offers a more balanced approach to God, allowing God to be more intimate and immanent. 

And so, I wanted to write on this topic because it’s important to discuss. 

Being a christian feminine woman, there is a lot of talk about divine femininity and using femininity to heal ourselves.

But here’s the thing, if you are a Christian, there is no divine femininity in Christianity. 

'So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” 'Genesis 1:26-27

I bolded, He Created Them to draw emphasis on this very idea. God created men and woman.

I’ve also written another post about the demonic aspect to the whole divine feminine that you can read here.

“You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by Your will they were created and have their being.” Revelations 4:11

I love this verse in Revelations because it repeats this beautiful statement that we see in Genesis. God is the creator of all things - and by His will they were created and have their being - their purpose. 

What about Virgin Mary? Would she be considered a divine feminine being?

No.

Mary was created by God for a beautiful purpose. Back in Luke, the angel Gabriel appears to Mary to tell her that she will have a son, and she is to call him Jesus. Mary rejoices and responds back with this beautiful poem 

'And Mary said: “My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me— holy is his name. His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation. He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts. He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble. He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty. He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful to Abraham and his descendants forever, just as he promised our ancestors.” 'Luke 1:46-55

Did you catch the opening statement, how she expresses her gratitude, her spirit rejoices in God, her savior. 

Mary viewed herself as a sinner, needing to be saved and not as a divine entity. Humans made her that. 

God created Mary to give birth to Jesus. And she knew that and was praising God for that.

And this beauty of God’s grace.

It was that through Eve’s disobedience, that the entire human race was cursed - but through Mary’s obedience, the human race had another chance of redemption. 

And because of what Jesus did on the cross, we can have a close relationship with God, being connected to our creator and father and having a purpose for our life. 

So, to answer the original reddit’s post, God does not need a divine feminine entity to create an intimate connection with us. We need to accept Jesus's work on the cross to entire that finish relationship.

You see, sin separates us from God.

God is all perfect, completely worthy and holy, never making a mistake.

And the bible mentions so many instances when God's chosen people get a glimpse of God's holiness, his sinlessness, they can barely stand or look. 

But because of God's love for us, He sent His son Jesus to die for us 

And when Jesus died for our sins, he paid the ultimate price so that we can have a relationship with God.

We can be connected to our loving Father like we should have had in the garden because the sin that separates us is no longer between us but rather crucified with Jesus.

We do not need any other mediators but Jesus.
