I wrote this essay because of the dream: Don’t Pray to Sophia.
This essay is intended to address the growing problem of people within Christianity going after new age ideas, particularly that of worshipping or praying to the divine feminine – commonly known as Sophia.
Firstly, it is important to understand where the idea of Sophia originates: Sophia comes from Gnosticism, of which the primary text is the secret book of John. Having read most of this book, I can tell you that it just quite simply is satanic: it describes the God of the Old Testament as being corrupt, and instead tells us to worship the “mother” Sophia, thus inverting Christianity to make the Christian God be evil.
So let’s disprove this concept. To begin with, this text is sort of nonsensical. For example, if we are to believe in the secret book of John, then we must believe that Jesus secretly worshipped Sophia and was against the God of the Old Testament. Which just can’t be, since Jesus repeatedly says in the gospels that he is obeying his *father*, and *father* is masculine, not feminine, and also because Jesus repeatedly quoted from the Old Testament. In fact, as we are taught in the New Testament, the whole point of the Law of Moses was to symbolize the sacrifice Jesus was to make for us – and so to reject the Old Testament simply makes Jesus’s story no longer make sense. It’s also worth noting that the Book of Revelation, written by the apostle John, extensively repeats or expands upon prophecies contained in the Old Testament – thus again showing that you can’t pick to believe the New Testament without also believing in the Old Testament. Beyond this, the secret book of John also says that the God of the Old Testament is the controller of this fallen world and of man, which again doesn’t really correspond with the story provided in the Old Testament: which is that most of humanity has rejected God, and even God’s chosen people, the Israelites, almost immediately started rejecting God in exodus after they miraculously cross the red sea.
More importantly, if we are to assume the Old Testament is true, then we are just quite simply told not to worship the queen of heaven (Jeremiah 7:18, Jeremiah 44:17-25). Or to put it another way, if we were supposed to worship any such thing as a “divine feminine”, then the scriptures would tell us to do so. But they don’t – instead we are told *not* to worship this figure.
And if you don’t believe in the Old Testament, I encourage you to read my essays in Non-Dream Essays that prove through statistics and facts that the Book of Mormon is true – because if the Book of Mormon is true, then the Old Testament must also be true, since the Book of Mormon testifies of the Old Testament. Also, its worth noting that the Book of Mormon discusses basically the exact same things that Jeremiah discusses, and so we can also know from the Book of Mormon that specifically the Book of Jeremiah is true, of which book is the book that warns most strongly against worshipping the divine feminine.
More generally, the Book of Mormon expounds to a great deal on how we are supposed to worship Jesus Christ, and how Jesus Christ brings us to God the father, and how there is no other way to be saved other than through Jesus Christ. Never at any time does the Book of Mormon tell us to worship any such thing as a divine feminine, or mention Jesus bringing us to any divine mothers. Here are a few of such scriptures:
Alma 38:9
9 And now, my son, I have told you this that ye may learn wisdom, that ye may learn of me that there is no other way or means whereby man can be saved, only in and through Christ. Behold, he is the life and the light of the world. Behold, he is the word of truth and righteousness.
Helaman 5:9
9 O remember, remember, my sons, the words which king Benjamin spake unto his people; yea, remember that there is no other way nor means whereby man can be saved, only through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ, who shall come; yea, remember that he cometh to redeem the world.
2 Nephi 25:28-29
28 And now behold, my people, ye are a stiffnecked people; wherefore, I have spoken plainly unto you, that ye cannot misunderstand. And the words which I have spoken shall stand as a testimony against you; for they are sufficient to teach any man the right way; for the right way is to believe in Christ and deny him not; for by denying him ye also deny the prophets and the law.
29 And now behold, I say unto you that the right way is to believe in Christ, and deny him not; and Christ is the Holy One of Israel; wherefore ye must bow down before him, and worship him with all your might, mind, and strength, and your whole soul; and if ye do this ye shall in nowise be cast out.
The problem with the divine feminine is that it actually is a real spirit that people can feel, that does not come from themselves, except this spirit is not from God, but rather is demonic. I have dreamt of this evil spirit deceiving people across various religions in Betrayal / Dark forces in Churches / Christian Zionism is False, and Get Up N Glow also had a very similar dream about this false goddess being worshipped here. Moreover, there actually is a lot of occult history tying this gnostic Sophia to Baphomet and the more modern Satanic religions, discussed in Don’t Pray to Sophia, which confirms this.
And by the way, Gnosticism does not believe Jesus died for us on the cross (see Second Treatise of the Great Seth or the Apocalypse of Peter, which describe a substitution where someone else died in Jesus’s place), nor do the even more satanic religions descending from Gnosticism believe Jesus died for us. Thus, to believe in the gnostic system is to subscribe to a belief system that rejects Jesus as the overcomer of death.
Another issue discussed in Don’t Pray to Sophia is that this spirit of Sophia does not convict us to avoid sinning, but rather lulls us with messages that we are already good enough and don’t need to change. This idea of universal salvation is quite simply false – the Book of Mormon quite explicitly says so (see 2 Nephi 28:7-25), and I have a more extensive discourse substantiating that this goes against the Book of Mormon described in the section God does not save bad people of 7 essential principles from Mormonism.
More broadly, this vein of new age thought tends to believe in the alchemical idea that the main cosmic struggle of how the divine feminine reunites with the divine masculine.
But this just goes against hundreds, if not thousands, of scriptures, which describe the divine conflict as of one between good and evil – angels versus demons – and sin versus righteousness. This conflict ends when those who are evil are locked up in hell, and those who are good end up in heaven. The story of history presented in the scriptures is that we live during a conflict between good and evil, and eventually the evil will lose, and be imprisoned and punished. Or in other words, the end of history is not when the divine feminine meets the divine masculine, but rather when evil is finally vanquished and locked away.
Put another way, the whole point of the trinity and Jesus being one with the father is that we there are *not* multiple ways to God, because our only path to the father is through Jesus. Here is an example of one such scriptures:
John 14:6
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
This means, quite simply, that there are not two paths to God: the path of the divine masculine and the path of the divine feminine. Rather, there is only one path – namely, through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ – and all other paths are foolishness.
Please, I urge you, do not go after strange gods. This is not smart – it is foolish to worship something you know nothing about, and of which thing could in fact be evil. I have joked in the past that even if there was such thing as a divine mother, there probably are multiple ones and so the question then becomes which divine mother to worship. But in all seriousness, when you worship an entity not ever discussed in the New Testament, or the Book of Mormon, or by Jesus Christ, or by the Apostles, or by the Book of Revelations, you really have no idea what you are worshipping, and it could very well be that this thing you are worshipping is actually demonic. And as noted previously, this is actually exactly what I have dreamt: that there are many religions worshipping this divine mother thing, and they think it is good, but this spirit is actually bad.
2 Corinthians 11:14-15
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
1 John 4:1–3
1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
As seen in these scriptures, it is sadly an all too common phenomenon for people to experience spirits which seem good but are not, and one way to test this is to see if these spirits testify of Christ. And to note, Sophia fails this test: Gnosticism denies that Jesus died on the cross for us, and denies the Old Testament. More broadly, the whole point of Jesus Christ is that he is our only way to God the Father, and we cannot reach Him through any other means, names, or persons. The idea that we should be worshipping a divine feminine just completely contradicts this by saying that we don’t need to worry about Jesus taking us to the father, because instead all we need to do is follow “the mother”.
Perhaps there is some heavenly mother up there. But the scriptures never tell us anything about her, and as far as I know, she could very well be a part of the third of heaven which joined Satan’s side. Either way, the scriptures never tell us to worship her – and so even if she isn’t evil, clearly God does not intend for us to be praying to her. Instead, we are told explicitly to worship Jesus Christ, because the only way to God is through Jesus Christ, and the only God that Jesus Christ ever taught about in his ministry is God *the Father*.
