Background
The Children of God (COG), currently The Family International, is a controversial religious group sometimes referred to as a cult. They believe in a literal interpretation of bridal theology in which the followers of Jesus are his bride, and are called to love him as a wife would love her husband. COG was founded in 1968 by David Berg (who was also known as "Moses David").
