Loving Jesus

Practiced since 1995 by members of The Family International — both male and female members are taught that Jesus literally desires to have sex with them.

The "Loving Jesus revelation" calls on Family members to do three things:

  1. They are to visualise their sexual activity as happening with Jesus.
  2. They are called on to masturbate to Jesus — men are instructed to visualise themselves as women so that Jesus can make love to them.
  3. They are told to say "love words," or talk dirty, to Jesus as they are having sex. Karen Zerby has published a list of sexually explicit expressions that her followers could use when making love to Jesus.
"Loving Jesus!–Part 6" GN – top half of pg.1


This doctrine is further explained in the following internal Family publications, which are required reading for all members aged 16 and older:


Loving Jesus for 12-year-olds

This edited version of the Loving Jesus publications is less direct than other versions. References to sex and spiritual sexuality, however, are still prevalent.

187. "Isn't this beautiful? The Lord says that His Love for us is so deep and that He is rewarding us with His lovemaking because we lay down our lives day by day in service, obedience and yieldedness. What a precious reward right here on Earth, a special touch and empowerment of His Love." — Karen Zerby

Loving Jesus for 14-year-olds

While the Loving Jesus revelation was being introduced to Family members aged 16 and older, Karen Zerby and Steven Kelly chose to also introduce the sexual aspects of Loving Jesus to children from age 14. Family members continue to claim, however, that the sexual aspects of Loving Jesus are for adults only.

Following are excerpts from the Loving Jesus GNs above which were expressly edited for 14-year-old children in the Family. All 14-year-old members were and are required to read these.

LOVING JESUS!—Part 3 for Junior Teens—By Maria DO#3029Jnr Dec-1995

27 We have prayerfully gone over the material in these GNs to make sure that it is suitable for your needs. . . . Also, we don't want to be guilty of giving you junior teens reading material that would be offensive or not legally permissible for people your age from the System's point of view. We want to give you as much Word as we can, without going too far or causing any legal problems for the Family. We need to try to stay within the law.

79 [Jesus]: So love Me and be not ashamed! Do not be afraid to say that you want Me. Do not be afraid to say that you want Me to fuck you and to love you and to kiss you, to hold you. For it is in these words that you convey the feeling of your heart.

125 By worldly standards, it is not very proper for a Christian to say "dong" and "cunt," as those words are considered dirty slang words, but the Lord instructs us that if He chooses to use them, then they are clean, and we shouldn't be offended or disgusted or turned off by them. However, just as you don't make "fuck" a part of your normal everyday vocabulary, so you shouldn't with these words either, especially not to outsiders!

140 [To the young teen boys] In your lovemaking with Jesus you are not a man. You are making love to Him as His Bride, His spiritual wife. This is not a male-with-male relationship. It is a spiritual female, you, making love to a male, Jesus. He is the man, the Bridegroom, and you are the woman, His Bride, His wife.

LOVING JESUS!—Part 4 for Junior Teens—By Maria DO#3030Jnr Dec-1995

29 [Jesus]: In the quietness of your chamber when you are alone, you can tell Me you love Me and you can show Me you love Me. [. . .] if you want a special time with Me, and if you want to feel My loving, you can touch yourself and you can make yourself go, and it will be Me loving you.

61 . . .The Lord is talking here about masturbation. He's saying that if you are alone in private and you are telling the Lord of your love for Him and your desire for Him, you can masturbate at the same time, if you wish.

62 There are occasions, when Peter and I are apart, when we have such "special times" when lovemaking with Jesus. When masturbating, I am not able to visualize anything, so of course I don't visualize Jesus fucking me.

. . .Unless the Lord speaks to your heart personally and lays on your heart the burden to do it, you don't have to feel as if you must masturbate. All of this is a very private matter, something between you and the Lord. If you want to love Jesus while masturbating, that's up to you.
