John 14:26-27
For this scripture, I changed "Father" to Parents and I removed the gender reference to the Holy Ghost. That is a bit of an experiment on my part: some people feel the Holy Ghost does not have a gender, or couple possibly be feminine. I left it so you can choose your favorite theory.
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Parents will send in my name, shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Acts 17:29
This is one of the scriptures referenced in President Monson's April 2012 Conference Talk, Race of Life, and I rather like it when the Goddess is added. I also made the language gender-inclusive (man to people).
29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of Goddess and God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and people's device.

Matthew 5:8
I added the Goddess to this one. Very simple and lovely.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God and Goddess.

2 Timothy 1:7-8
This scripture was from the Relief Society lesson we had on Sunday. I added the Goddess to this one.
7 For God and Goddess hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord and Lady, nor of me their prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God and Goddess;

1 John 2:3-6
Again, I made this gender-inclusive and added the Goddess. I used the very wordy "he or she" to refer to the person because "them" is referring to Heavenly Parents here and I didn't want to confuse the meanings of the verses.
3 And hereby we do know that we know them, if we keep their commandments.
4 He or she that saith, I know them, and keepeth not their commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him or her.
5 But whoso keepeth their word, in him or her verily is the love of Goddess and God perfected: hereby know we that we are in them.
6 She or he that saith she or he abideth in them ought her- or himself also so to walk, even as they walked.

Matthew 2:11-12
Being post-Christmas, I thought I'd share a post-Christmas scripture today. I added the Goddess.
11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
12 And being warned of Goddess and God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.

Galatians 4:4
I added the Goddess to this one. Getting ready for Christmas!
4 But when the fulness of the time was come, Goddess and God sent forth their Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

Hebrews 1:1-2
Sorry for my absence. We went out of town for my birthday and I didn't have any posts scheduled ahead of time! I hope everyone is having a beautiful December!
In this one, I changed "fathers" to "parents" and added the Goddess.
In this one, I changed "fathers" to "parents" and added the Goddess.
1 God and Goddess, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the parents by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by their Son, whom they hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also they made the worlds;

2 Corinthians 2:14
More Thanksgiving for the end of the month. I added the Goddess.
14 Now thanks be unto God and Goddess, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of their knowledge by us in every place.

1 Timothy 4:4-5
Here, I added the Goddess. Happy Thanksgiving!
4 For every creature of God and Goddess is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and Goddess and prayer.

1 Corinthians 1:3-4
I added the Goddess in this one.
3 Grace be unto you, and peace, from Goddess our Mother and God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 I thank my Goddess and God always on your behalf, for the grace of Goddess and God which is given you by Jesus Christ;

Romans 7:24-25
I made the language gender-inclusive and included the Goddess.
24 O wretched one that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
25 I thank God and Goddess through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of Goddess and God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

Romans 14:10-12
I haven't been keeping up with the Sunday School lessons because I'm in nursery and my husband is usually chasing our baby around the halls. I figured we should give at least one shout out to the book of Romans. I made it gender-inclusive and included Goddess.
10 But why dost thou judge thy sibling? or why dost thou set at nought thy sibling? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to Goddess and God.
12 So then every one of us shall give account of ourselves to Goddess and God.

Acts 7:55-56
My husband was home with a sick baby on Sunday, so I don't know where our ward is in the manual, but we can't skip the martyrdom of Stephen! I added "Goddess" to these verses.
55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of Goddess and God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God and Goddess,
56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God and Goddess.

Acts 2:14-24
Sunday School was on the Pentecost this week. Fun times! I added Goddess and made the language more gender-inclusive. I left "Lord" alone because I considered it a reference to Christ.
14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye people of Judæa, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith Goddess and God, We will pour out of our Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men and women shall see visions, and your old men and women shall dream dreams:
18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
22 Ye people of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of Goddess and God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which Goddess and God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God and Goddess, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
24 Whom Goddess and God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.

John 20:15-18
This was from the Sunday School lesson on Sunday (we're a little behind the rest of you). I changed "Father" to "Parents." I love this scene. I also added sisters.
15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Parents: but go to my sisters and brothers, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Parents, and your Parents; and to my Gods, and your Gods.
18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.

Luke 22:41-44
Just a couple of weeks ago, I put up Matthew's version of verse 42, but I was apparently a few weeks ahead in our ward's lesson schedule! So this week is Luke's version. I picked this one over Mark, but it's the one that mentions the angel appearing and I know a woman who likes to think that the angel was perhaps Heavenly Mother. I think that's a beautiful thought.
41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,
42 Saying, Father and Mother, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
43 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.
44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: band his sweat was as it were great drops of cblood falling down to the ground.

Matthew 26:39
39 And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Mother and Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

Matthew 25:34-36
From yesterday's Sunday School lesson! The "King" here is Christ, so I didn't add Queen, but I was inclusive later in the verse.
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Mother and Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
