Has anybody heard of the Children of God cult?

Question

Did you know they think they are having sex with Jesus? Kinda makes Scientology a little easier to swallow, huh?

No, I'm an Atheist. Never was one for religion of any kind.

Answer 1

Oh, I have. They used to pass around tracts in my neighborhood in the 1970s (!) -- very odd bunch.

Check out this wikipedia page for them:

Were you a part of them -- The Family International, as they are now called?

Scientology is wacky, too -- and a cult.

Answer 2

The bible writes about being born again and that basically means we are born of God, born of His Spirit, cleansed by His Blood, joint heirs with King Jesus, part of the family of God.

Cults are groupies who reject the power of Jesus shed blood for remission of our sins and &/or reject the fruits & gifts of the Holy spirit. Reject Jesus Christ, born of a virgin, sinless, the Son of the Living God. The cross & the Resurrection.

And God created sex. It is an act of love between one woman & man that produces a living baby. So, since love is everlasting, so is all types of love, when done in the purpose of God & not perverted.


After reading Sydneys answer, I believe it's a cult too.
