He has been out of Church since he turned 20 and now he is going to a Church called Eastside Mosaic. I am really not comfotable with that Church but I do not want to make him get mad and quit Church. But, I do not want him to go to get messed up by a Church that is not of God either.

I went to the website of them. Found them through Google. I am not comfy with them either. They seem to talk about themselves almost continually. Although they occassionally mention God I read nothing of the saving blood of Jesus.
It looks like a cult to me. JMHO.

This is what their website says they believe
What We Believe Pg1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

About God
God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. God has eternally existed in three personalities: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God: Genesis 1:1, 26, 27; 3:32; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 1:2; II Corinthians 13:14

About Humanity
We are all made in the spiritual image of God, to reflect the image of God. WE are the supreme objects of God’s affection. Although humanity has tremendous creative potential, we are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called “ sin.” This attitude separates us from God: Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6a; Romans 3:23; Isaiah 59:1, 2

About Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is God in human form. He is coequal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven and will return again to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords: Matthew 1:22,23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5; 14:10-30; Hebrews 4:14,15; I Corinthians 15:3,4; Romans 1:3,4; Acts 1:9-11; I Timothy 6:14, 15; Titus 2:13

But, I am still concerened because they do come off as a cult. Because my son is a grown man, I am not in a position to say much. One time he was going to a Church that seemed odd for me and he quit and did not go back to Church 8 years. I am praying that God will lead him to the right Church.

I checked them out on MSN Search.

I can't really say they are "Not Christian"

But if you feel they are “Not healthy people for your son to be around” or maybe this is stemming form a Gut feeling, and you feel in your heart and soul they are not decent people, that is enough for me.

I’ll pray for your sons betterment in Life and his deposit into Gods Hands.

I’ll say a Prayer for Him.

Tyme.

thank you. Maybe God is using this to get him to be intrested in Church so He can send someone later to show him the right Church to go to.
I do like that they believe that Jesus is the way to salvation.

thanks for your prayers. [wiggle7]

I hate to be a pest but please pray for us. We have been hit with another finacial lost. Hubby is mad at God because our dreams of ever owning a home are gone. We can't even afford medical care and don't qualify for aid. He is so angry because he feel he is a failure as a husband. I try to reassure him but I am not helping. I am not angry at God but I do feel like God has is mad at us. I know I have complained alot but I stepped out in faith to move here and now I feel like God has pulled the ladder out from under me and I am falling to my death. I have fought so many years with depression (runs in my family and took my sister's life) and now I feel like God has forsaken me. I just don't know how much more I can't take. I have been having weird headaches and sometimes I write one word and mean another. I don't dare tell my hubby because I can't afford to go to the doctor. I don't understand why my prayers are not answered.

Update on suituation. Jeff is still going to Church but he is discouraged because his job is ending because of budget cuts and it is only going to last three months. Which means it will end in three weeks.

Husband says he does not believe God answers prayers. He believes in Jesus Christ as his Savior but feels that God has turned His back on him. Today we went and talked to the our Pastor at our new Church. He talked with us and prayed with us.

Please pray for my family. Pray that Jeff will get a new job and go to the Church God wants him to. Please pray that God will help my husband to regain his faith in God.

Thank you so very much for your prayers on our behalf. This has been a very hard day on me. I am not doing well physcially but, I it is more important to me that God work in my son and my family, then anything else. God bless you.

Betty.

Let me help you out with your Son.

My Grand father passed down to me, and I think it applies to everyone.

It has been my creed in life, and I shall not be changing it.

“God gave me a strong back and two good hands, I’ll find a way”

(My only problem is, All I have left are two good hands and a strong back) [biglaugha]

As for your husband.

I shall pray for your Health, and your well being, I pray that my Prayers will heal you, and I pray that you will find a better life.

My prayer to God is simple. It is for you Betty, My heart and my Soul go out to you.

I only hope that, if we all pray for your better life and you are healed, that your husband will see god, though you.

No one escapes death, all we can ask for, it to meet death with Honor, and a smile.

Tyme.

Thank you for your encouragment. It is the love of other Christians that help us when we are at lowest. I appreciate your prayers. I will pray for you and your family.

Son is still going to Church. Please pray that he will get a new job soon. I am so thankful that he did not get mad and quit Church. Hubby needs prayer too for health and finaces.
