J. Moss Says Child Support Case Is Hurting His Reputation
PONTIAC — As his wife watched, a popular gospel music artist sang the blues in court Thursday, saying a child support case over an out-of-wedlock son has hurt his reputation and ability to earn money.
In a generally civil but occasionally tense hearing, James Moss — better known as singer, songwriter and producer J. Moss — fought efforts by Lakisha Hughes, 28, of Douglasville, Ga., to increase child support by $230 a week from $1,028 a month to care for her child, Christion, while she’s at school or work. Moss defaulted in October in a paternity case and has been making the payments.
But the Bloomfield Township man said he’s been hurt by Web comments and a Detroit News report about the case.

“This has caused a credibility problem,” said Moss, during the two-hour hearing that his wife of 12 years, Melody, attended. They have two children together.
“This has negatively impacted my salary.”
Hughes, a college student, countered that she only wants Moss to face his responsibilities.
“I don’t get any joy out of coming here and wouldn’t do anything to affect your income,” Hughes said during the hearing before Oakland County Friend of the Court Referee Lorie Savin.
“All I want is for Mr. Moss to be a father … he didn’t acknowledge his son on Christmas or any other day, yet he calls himself a minister and a gospel artist. We all make mistakes … but I think he should be a father.”
There were tense exchanges, such as when Savin was informed of MySpace computer entries in which Moss had been referred to as a “deadbeat,” and Hughes countered that someone used a vulgar term when referring to her.
Moss discounted estimates by Hughes in court filings that he earned $50,000 a month. More accurate figures were not discussed Thursday, and when Hughes asked whether Moss demands $10,000 an appearance, he said: “It depends on the situation. From free on up … a storefront church can’t afford the same as a mega-church.”
The boy, who will be 2 in March, was in a nearby hallway with Hughes’ mother during the hearing.
Moss’s attorney alleged Hughes hid personal loans given to her by her family from the Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office when they estimated support to be paid by Moss.
Hughes said she is a full-time student in Georgia and has gone back to work as a sales representative and Web site builder — on a contractual basis only — with Faith Video On Demand, which sets up Internet services for groups and businesses. Savin said she would consider all requests, including a motion by Moss’ attorney to dismiss and issue a decision within three weeks.
DNA tests confirmed paternity last year, and when Moss failed to respond to court filings in October, Oakland Circuit Judge Cheryl Matthews signed a judgment ordering monthly support until the boy turns 18.
Court documents reveal Hughes has a teenage daughter and is divorced. Hughes and Moss never lived together, and in court filings Hughes alleged Moss offered to pay abortion expenses but never provided any of the medical care.
Moss, son of gospel star Bill Moss Sr., records and produces recordings under PAJAM Music. He has recorded several albums and has been a co-writer or produced for others, including Karen Clark-Sheard, Hezekiah Walker, N’SYNC, Michelle Williams, Trin-i-tee 5:7, Dru Hill and Boyz II Men. He has been nominated for a Grammy several times.

One thing we must remember is, WE ARE HUMAN and sometimes we let our flesh take over our spirit, which brings us to make mistakes. In my opinion (real talk), I think Ms. Hughes want top dollar money in return, because of J. Moss status. I seen this type of drama unfold sooo many times weather the person is famous or not. No matter what, J. Moss is still my #1 favorite male gospel singer I can not judge him, J. Moss know what to do-Don’t Pray and Worry. I will be praying for him and his wife to get through this. Thank You
It amazes me how we quickly come to the conclusion that the woman is all out for TOP dollar. With the economy being what it is, it is very difficult to raise children these days and if “married men” are so quick to spread their seed around knowing full well that their wives are sitting at home trusting and believing in their faithfulness, then, they should pay. For J. Moss to say that a child support case is “hurting his reputation,” he should check again because he hurt his own reputation by having this adulterous affair by having unprotective sex with her. When will we ever learn, I don’t know. I’m not saying that she is totally innocent because she was aware of his marital status but two wrongs will never equal out to a right and the person who truly gets left with the damage of the matter is Melanie since we can all be sure that she had no knowledge that her husband was doing this to her. Yes, it will take a lot of prayer and counseling to help heal the matter but J. Moss should definitely consider his actions especially when people are regarding him as their #1 favorite “gospel” singer. Such shame this type of drama brings on the church as well as the SAINTS!
Oh please, pay her the child support you hade fun with her ,now your son is your reward for it. Why would you take it out on your son ?. Yes she should be paid, she has the responibilty for the rest of her life of the fun they had … while he runs free.
How in the world can we as Christians accept a man that not only had a child from having an affair on his wife, but he doesnt want to accept responsibilites? In the article is clearly states that he has nothing to do with this child. Its a shame that even our men of that claim to be of God dont want to take care of his children. The woman had reportedly been with him 5yrs so she knew what kind of money he makes. I recieve $1000 a month for my child and her daddy is a resturant manager. Thats nothing for him to do! J. Moss and his wife and family should be a shame that he dont have anything to do with his son. They are a disgrace to GOSPEL! That baby is innocent!
This shouldn’t be in the news. A lot of people look up to J Moss. This is his personal business, NOT WORLD BUSINESS!
In my opinion J-Moss is wrong and should take responsibility for his actions. At the same time she is pushing the limit. It’s not like he doesn’t have other children with HIS WIFE. Andrea, I like J-Moss too but Renee made a better point. What he did can be forgiven. Jenny on the other hand you only say that because you can kinda speak from experience. His wife did not have anything to do with him and that foolishness so why should she be ashamed? The only ones at fault here is J-Mos and the woman he was messing around with. This is why people are so confused and some don’t even want to get saved because of things like this.
The Word of God tells us, We all have sinned and come short to the Glory God…The bible also tells us he that is without sin let him cas the first stone…Sure J. Moss has sinned but so have we even if we ate too much..J. Moss should face his responsiblity. He should man up take care of his gift (son), make him apart of his life, teach him to be a man, and show him how to love the Lord..I’m not condoning what he has done..but only he can make it right with God’s help..We should pray God’s strength for his marriage, that it might survive this….My husband I have six children and I wouldn’t change it for nothing in this world…Marriage and family is ordained by God it came IN THE BEGINNING!

I feel like a lot of today’s artists are pimping the name of Jesus.
They don’t live the life they sing in their songs. Holiness is a lifestyle. But it seems as though making music for many of them is just a living(fianancial security). How long will God allow us to do our sin in secret and not expose us? He did say “Let everyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity(sin) I’m glad it went public. Every sin has it’s just recompence of reward!!! The sad part is that someone of such notoriety had to be the example for others. I feel sorry for his wife-Hopefully the love that abides within will cover a multitude of sins. J-Moss needs deliverance and restoration like many of us who overlook our sinful addictions everyday. We need an alter call!!!
Speaking as a woman who stepped outside of God’s will…. While I appreciate the monies that my son’s father contributes, I would much rather he be a father to him. Wake up and see what he is missing. Even though Mr. Moss and his wife have their own children together, the other woman’s son is a different person with his own personality and thoughts. I love my son though his father has nothing to do with him his stepmother is as good as it gets when you think of the wife in this sort of situation. I know that it can be very hard and damaging to a marriage but that child is really the most important part of this whole scenario at this point.
Mr. Moss please take the financial responsibility ALONG WITH the parenting responsibility. You never know how it will affect the stranger in his walk with God. This child get’s everything from the mother–good behaviours or bad. I understand that abortion was offered and from that I gather that Mr. Moss did not want this child to be born. Wanted or not the child is here and deserves the love and support of a father. There are things that this child can only gleam from Mr. Moss and his wife and should bee given the opportunity to do so. My situation is such that the father of my son and his wife are now seperated (not due my son’s birth), the stepmom calls my son, has taken him on vacation with her, invites him over for weekends and on holidays. My son is blessed with a saved mother and an unsaved stepmother but we both love him in spite of the situation. She say’s it’s not about either of us. It’s about Daniel (my son). I say all of this just to say, PRAY!!! These families need it. My hope is that ALL of the children will know each other and learn to accept one another as an imperfect person and that the saved stand up and be a light. Yours may be the only light that the other woman and or her family and friends sees.
God Bless ALL!!
I consider J Moss to be one of my favorite gospel artisit. I fully acknowledge that all of us have sinned and come short; it is for this reason that I cannot understand why J Moss does not acknowledge his son and take care of his responsibilites. As a minister and a man of God you are held to a higher standard than the average “Joe” you have sold millions of albums encouraging others and reminding them of God’s forgiveness and love yet you have failed to heed to your own words. Far to often we want to blame the woman for asking for support when a request should not have been neccessary to begin with! You made the choice to cheat and to have sex. The child should not be made to feel ashamed, unwanted, or any less special because of the natue of his conception that is the fault of the parents, not his. None of us stand in such a holy position that we can judge others but as adults we must acknowledge and accept the consequences for the actions we have done!
THIS NINJA NEED TO ACCEPT HIS SON! I SEE HE GOT FAM PICS UP WHERE IS HIS NEW SON??????????????? AND YALL CALL HIM A CHRISTIAN??????????? IF THIS IS CHRISTANITY I DONT WANT TO BE SAVED.
Craig, this is NOT Christianity. This is someone being human. Yes, J Moss is claiming to be a Christian and a man of God, however, J Moss also has a will to do right and wrong. God doesn’t make us do right, He only gives us the choice and J Moss made the wrong choice by having an affair. One thing about our God is that He is a Forgiving God and will forgive us no matter what we do as long as we mean it from the heart and don’t continue in the same habitual practice of sin. If we continue to do what’s wrong then God will allow us to suffer the consequences of those sins. These are the times when what’s done in the dark will come to light.
I am truly saddened that J Moss has become another major voice in the Christian community to fall prey to his temptations because it does give Christians and Christianity a bad name. But don’t let YOUR personal relationship with Christ be hindered because of the personal choices that someone that claims to be Christian makes. You will not have to answer to anyone but God and this and other news in the media will not be an excuse when we stand before the judgment seat. Yes, it’s bad and J Moss does need to stand up to his responsibility because these are his consequences for what he did but we all have hidden sins and temptations that we need help to overcome. We just aren’t in the media to make them known to everyone. We can only overcome these temptations with the help of Christ. Basically, we ALL make mistakes so we can’t point the finger at those that are more visible to the public eye.
This is not the first time he has cheated and it wasn’t the last! Trust that. This is only the first time he got caught!!! He has been messin around for a long time even after the child was born. From sending out pics of his private to hookin up with girls in other cities! He clearly has problem! He needs prayer and his son needs him!
WE ALL HAVE COME SHORT AND FELL DOWN SOMETIME OR ANOTHER. BUT REMEMBER WHEN THE CROWD BOUGHT THE WOMEN TO “JESUS”, HE SAID” YE THAT ARE WITH OUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE “. SO PLEASE KEEP YOUR ROCKS IN YOU PROCKET, YOU MAY BRAKE YOUR OWN WINDOW. WHEN THEY DRAGGED THE WOMAN TO JESUS WHERE WAS THE MAN.? YOU SEE THEY BOTH HAVE THE SAME SIN. SO IF YOU BASH ONE YOU GOT TO BASH THE OTHER. HE IS MARRIED AND SHE KNEW SO WHY DID SHE NOT STAND ON GOD’S WORD AND REFUSE. ANY WOMAN CAN SHUT ANY MAN DOWN WITH 1 WORD “NO”
WE NEED TO PRAY FOR BOTH OF THEM THAT THEY WILL DO WHAT IS RIGHT IN THE EYES OFGOD.
DEAR MR J MOSS WE HAVE ALL SINNED BUT DONT KEEP REPEATING IT BECAUSE OF TEMPTATION BECAUSE IT MESSES UP THE MINISTRY OF WHAT GOD WANTS YOU TO DO. AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR SON BECAUSE YOU CANT HIDE THE TRUTH OF WHAT PEOPLE THINK ABOUT YOU A DEAD BEAT DAD. DONT DENY YOUR SON AND HE GROWS UP DIFFERENTLY BECAUSE THATS THE WAY YOU TREATED HIM BECAUSE EVERYTHING HAS AN AFFECT AND AN EFFECT. ITS CONFUSING OF WHAT YOUR CHILDREN SAY HOW YOU WERE.
The mistake was sleeping with the woman when he was supposed to be devoted to his wife. Yes, we ALL make mistakes and he should be forgiven for that. But it is NOT a mistake to not take care of the child! Thats just foul!! I’ve lost all respect for him.
this was not J. Moss’s first time cheating on his wife and his wife accepts his cheating lifestyle. yes, we all make mistakes but this is J. Mosses way of life. Trust me, I know him very well.
This is truly a sad case. It is definitely a blow to believers who are looking up to J. Moss as a Christian advocate and mentor. He played with fire and definitely got burned. Now we have the issue of his wife and children that are embarrased and shamed due to his behavior. There is now a child born into a broken home and birth has been given to a load of generational curses. The principles that were once in place for that family have been shattered and they will now have to figure out how to mend the broken pieces before the enemy destroys yet another generation for the mistake of one man.
He’s just James!!!god has him. our jobs as SAVE folks is to PRAY for him and all involved. One thing for sure he can not and will not escape GOD’S WRATH.
I have to be J. Moss’s biggest fan. I will say that we are all human and all of us make mistakes. He who is without sin, let him cast the first stone…… J. (James) if you take time out to read any of these statements you are my boy and I will always love you and your music. CHildren don’t ask to be born….. We as parents make that choice, it’s not the childs fault. Be there for your son as well as the two you have at home with you. Remember, it’s not our decision when children are to be born; that is Gods choice. You never know that even out of the act of sin that was committed there is a blessing in your son. Even though it wasn’t your choice, it was Gods choice. Remember GOD HAPPENS!
OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD. I just found out about the news. J Mosss music is and inspiration to me. I pray that all will be well with his family and himself. I noticed he had started getting a little more loss than at first. Did fame take him for a ride? It couldve happen to anyone that’s human. We r never to big, r to little for sin to enter in our world and mess it up. Our ministry ,our praise, and the respect for the people we love and who love as back. I send up prays for you all that are involved. OOOOOH MY GOD
It doesn’t matter who did what to whom, and whose fault everything is. We should all be praying for everyone involved in this unfortunate situation, especially the child, who is here through no fault of his own… and we should also remember that the ONLY person we should be holding up as an example of Christianity is JESUS. Peace.
I believe that J.Moss can seek forgiveness and i am sure that he will. As far as the child goes, and i hope that you read this Mr.Moss, im speaking to u as a minister of God….Take care of that baby and confess and forsake that sin of Adultery and not taking care of your son. 1 John 1:9. I dont want to see you be dealt with by the wrath of God by continuing in sin, and not taking care of your seed is shameful and adultery is shameful also. But while you have breath repent. i hope you get this message brother Moss. God be with you.
Dear J.,
I have been a fan of yours ever since you dropped your first album. With every album, you make, (from the vocals to the message to the instrumentation), I wonder how in the world you could possibly top the last one. But you always do it. And this last one, Just James, Wow. I felt every sting of pain, every tear you dropped, and every prayer you prayed when you were going through. This was a Cleansing album the Lord gave you – not just for your cleansing, but He knew that others needed to go through a revitalization “thing” in their lives as well, but they did not know how to begin. He used you to start that cleansing for people you don’t even know, but who know you through the genius of your music.
When I heard this album for the first time, I said to myself, J. was either going through something or coming out of something.” I googled your name and read about some major obstacles sent your way recently, and immediately the album made sense to me.
Now, my anointed brother, I don’t pretend to know all the pain you felt when you were going through, but I can tell you this: It’s because of that pain AND your situation that others are now able to find healing, understand deliverance, and embrace the love God has for them. Broken situations and relationships are being healed because of demises the devil thought up to break you: but God used them to make you stronger and to affect the lives of others in a real and positive way. So, your tears and you heartache were not in vain,. That is why the Lord allowed you to keep all of your valuables ( your wife, your family, your career, and self-respect). Your ministry is live and well!! Keep kickin butt for the Lord.

PS. I can’t stop listening to the CD. First off, as a musician, I wish God would give me such beautiful songs to write and to play for my people. You are so blessed. But the album is so infectious, not only am I buying it, and giving it to just about everyone I know, but I’m listening to it on my way to work, take it out of the car to my classroom to listen to it in my classroom, and then back outside to my car so I can hear it again on the way home.
This is just another complicated case.
J Moss is Human and has made a very costly mistake. His wife should still stand by him and encourage him please.
If his reputation is hurt by this action; he should have known better.
But i have an imperceptible feeling that Ms. Hughes is “exploiting” her way into his life.
God help you J Moss. I’m still a fan anyway…
I had read an interview with Mr. Moss and E.J. I also listened to the single “Redeemed”. I was moved by the message.
However, I did not know that there were problems with his supporting his child financially and emotionally. Now, that changes my whole perspective.
How can He say he was redeemed and pretend that he does not have a child to take care of? Does he think that he is soooo valuable that God can forgive him as he continues to move on without taking responsibility? What if he had contracted some awful disease because of his infidelity, would he not attend to his health? Would he pretend that it did not exist?
I think that He needs to let us know that He is making a change in this area. I could not support someone like this.
Beig “HUMAN” is not an excuse to sin.. THE DEVIL IS A LIAR AND A DECIEVER. THE MASTER IF DECEPTION. The world is decieved and making excuses for SIN is not acceptable to GOD.
This worlds is like Sotom and Gomorah in the bible and being accepting of sin in our life, your life, or the lives of those around you is exactly how the devil gets a strong hold. Rebuke SIN and repent and pray for this sinful world. In Jesus HOLY and Righteous name. One more thing, who do you think is in control down here? God! who exposed this sin? GOD! God is tired of people spewing lust and carnal spirits over masses of people through “GOSPEL MUSIC” them spirits that was in Mr. Moss when he recorded them songs…wel,, were do you think they went? Somebody say transfer….Lord Jesus! God is not gonna continue to let these false leaders destroy his sheep. GOD EXPOSED THIS AND HE WILL CONTINUE TO EXPOSE EVIL. That is why he sits high and looks low. He’s sees EVERYTHING that we do. That should matter to someone reading this. “Being human” gives no one the right to sin. Period. Thats the enemy way of making it seem ok. Wake up people.
I am sitting here reading all the comments and all I could say is SHAME ON US. People are just clueless about God, because if we knew the God we serve we would not even indulge in the comments. We would be on our knees praying for J Moss and his family and alos praying for the other woman and the son.
Romans 12 says..” Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of yuor mind”
Why are we conforming to the pattern of this world by actively indulging in such comments, me included! Was it not paul who said advised us to avoid stupid arguments, was it not Jesus who said if a man sin against you and ask for forgiveness 7 times, 7 times you should forgive, is not our daily prayer saying ” forgive us our sins as WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO SIN AGAINST US. Was it not God who said David was a man after his own heart even after David slept with a Uriah’s wife,even worse, arranged for him to die in battle after he found out that the woman was pregnant.
Lets us go back to the basics. Why does God says “My people who are called by my own name perish because they have REJECTED knowledge”…..Why are we contrubuting to the devil’s scheme to completely destroy Ministers…..J Moss is a anointed minister, YES he made a mistake and YES God has forgiven him and WE ALL NEED TO FORGIVE HIM and move on with our lives
Lastly…..If we judge others, we have already judged ourselves…no one is perfect…..I guess you know that….Unless you want to make God a liar!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My Name is Gospel from South Africa….Peace be still Isay!!!!!!!!
Is James Moss really repentant? Only Jesus knows. Your sins will find you out if you have not taken them to the throne room of grace and mercy from a merciful Jesus and ask for forgiveness. As a follower, he knew that he was in sin, but he did it anyway. There but for the grace of Jesus go I, and you.
Hey, I’m a product of a similar situation. I know what it feels like to be this kid. All he’ll ever want is for his daddy to say that he loves him. As a man, you have to do what’s right. Even though your actions were wrong, God is forgiving, but you have to do what you know is right. The child and your wife is innocent in this matter, and should not have to suffer because of it. In God’s Word it states, what’s done in the dark, shall come to light. Just pray, repent, and act. God can heal the wounds in your marriage, and with your kids, Just do the right thing. My brother don’t make a lot of money and he pays almost the same thing. That’s not a lot of money, she asked for, so that shouldn’t be a complaint.
As a fellow Christian it’s my responsibility to forgive My Brother and love him inspite of what has happened. God forgave us didn’t he? Love covers a multitude of sin. After all God knew that we would mess up so HE made pervision… J. Moss keep your head up and know that this will only further make you. My prayers are with you and your family. These people has no Heaven or Hell to put you in, so what they have to say, really doesn’t matter. The ANOINTING is what distroys the yokes, so continue to MINISTER. We LOVE you!!!
Yo J. Moss step up man. Yea you messed up. Im not saying its ok but it is a sin that is forgivin if you ask for it. Now you have to accept that you have a child that needs your care. You cant put albums out and sing in these concerts but not live what you sing. Thats just not cool man. Remember who you represent, you are representing our Lord Savior Jesus Christ. Represent right man.
wow! seems like J Moss went to Florida!! lol
** let’s go to Florida ………. lol**
James Moss…son pay your child support. God has indeed blessed you with the anointing to touch the lives of others,
Dont not allow a simple thing like money to determine what type of man you are.
Think of your son and how he must feel. He will someday see, read and hear all this child support drama. What do you think he may say? Has God ever let you down?
Dont let your son down. Your son needs you, and you need him.
Man up and take your responsibilities seriously.
Repent, turn, pay and run on my son run on.
Run on with clean hands and a pure heart.
Remember that those that worship God must do so in spirit
and in truth.
Don’t forget that the woman has to accept that her moral torpitude is questionable. Why would she not protect herself? Why did she sleep with a married man? Why did she not think of going to college before this? She is certainly ntitled to financial support, but no one should force J to be a father to this child. He has to work that out with God. We should not stand in judgement of him. Let the man make his money. She will soon be on to the next opportunity to make some money and his reputation will have been damaged.
Both of them need to work out their slavation.
thats bogus moss
WE can talk about him or we can pray for his deliverance. WWJD?
I get so annoyed by fake christians. Most of the time when someone acknowledge that their a christian I run. I’m so glad I’m not God! J Moss has beautiful music but no power, no anointing….now I know why. When he performs he entertains as if it’s a secular concert. My advice to J Moss is fall down on your knees and stop playing God and truly use the head on your shoulder next time….please!
Seems like J. Moss, almost let a 1 night stand come between him and his promise, or maybe he went to Florida, he didn’t remember that everybody have a word.
Why should this not be world business?…doesn’t the world buy his music. Most of the people reading this listens to, are ministered by, and/or purchase this music anyway. Therefore; we give him money. We, the people, are the reason why he makes at or near 50,000 bonez a week…more than what 99.99% of what most of us make a year…This is what you sign up for when you become an Artist. Your business becomes public business, you are not exempted. And I agree with the person who stated that ‘all that ministering he does, he disowns a child that he helped create’. Who do you think you are that you should have your “good” to be publicized, but not your “bad”? Take it like a man, what’s $230 out of $50,000. It should be more than that. This child should be taken care of just as well as the ones you have with your wife. It’s a life that did not ask to be brought in this world, but for a reason that only The Most High knows, he is here. The one you disown may be the one who has to take care of you, so watch out Mr. Christian. The Most High is looking down at you.
But yes, I still love his music, and hopes that everything works out for the Good. Hope his family, yes that includes the new son, is blessed.
1-love
Why is he so concerned about his image? Do the right thing! Pay the child support , be a man and humble yourself. Forget the sales…worry about your relationship with almighty God. SMH.
Putting that aside, I pray for a revival in his life and in his heart.
On top of this he wanted an ABORTION! A MINISTER? this has gone too far. I don’t care how many mistakes you make, you want to kill a child? You become a father who wants nothing to do with his children and all he wants is money! SHAME! He needs to go focus on his relationship with God like i said previously, become the man he should be and money is least of his worries. 50 thousand a year? that’s more than what alot of ppl make. This man is a joke.
This reminds me of the scripture, where the priest of the cousel brought the woman to Jesus, the woman was caught in adultery, and the priest questioned Jesus about the law handled down from Moses, with regard to stone the adulter, the asked Jesus is this not what we are supposed to do?.. Jesus, didn’t answer the priests and draw in the sand(ground)..basically, why he did this was because he didn’t not questioned the authority of the LAW that was handled down from God to Moses..that is why he didn’t speak out of respect of the law which came from his father. BUT JESUS was WISE beyond anyone other man that walk the earth since. What did Jesus do? he said, he that is without SIN cast the first stone at this adulterer? the Priest counsel dropped their stones and were preplexed and left. The ideal is this.. before we as christ-like cast stones to other Christ-like who falls short of GOD, and we ALL do and will..how can you JUDGE? And not only that we are not supposed to JUDGE those who know not GOD either as this female adulterer. So what did Jesus say tothe woman, “is there anyone here to condemn you? She answer NO!.. Then jesus said to her “GO AND SIN NO MORE!” My point is that I’m certain J moss has learned from this and YOU and me as anyone else who HAS FALLEN SHORT in the eyes of GOD.. We have no hell or heaven to put anyone in.. the best we CAN do is PRAY for the SAINTS, and the AIN’TS.. and I consider J moss a vessel of GOd..and truly called to the ministry he is called too.
the songs that J.Moss has been used to proclaim to us is from the Lord not him, he s merely a vessel who ha proven that God is the true source of truth and that “we fall down,but we get up, a sinner is just a saint who fell down an got up!” my sis in christ that brought up the woman who was a “prostitute” that Jesus used to teach us about us all falling short, is you, me, an Mr Moss…i thank you Lord for just being who you are cause all the falling an getting back up that i have done,some of these commentors would’ve stoned me to death,knowing that you said what you said in te word!
“Forever Jones—He wants it all” i’m glad that i know as i continue giving you my all you’ll keeep the fire an thrist in me so i’ll know youlove me so i can get back up again. J..you know what to do(he gae you a whole son to teach)…i trust Gods word….every knee shall bow,every tongue shall confess that i am Lord!
Hypocrites! Should we sin God FORBID. He had many opportunities to make this right. God hid his mess for a long time. Be not deceived God is not mocked. What is done in the dark…is brought ti the light. God is forgiving loving kind compassionate full of mercy BUT CHURCH FOLKS who call themselves CHRISTAINS have CONFUSED ministry and anointing FOR TALENT and entertainment. Ya should have learned from TYE but ya didn’t. God take your anointing and give it to one more worthy.
We fall down…but he needs to get up and accept responsibility for his actions. The child is innocent and he is a part of him (his family). A man that refuses to take care of his family is worse than an infidel…and that’s REAL TALK!
People kill me acting like that bc j moss is a Christian that he is suppose to be perfect. NEWS FLASH: THATS NOT WHAT THAT MEANS!!! It means that he has someone to go to when he gets in situations like these. This is just another mistake in life that he can write about in his music to inspire others. keep doing ur thing J.
So quick to judge. Yes J Moss was wrong but so was this Lady. She knew he was married b4 she got with him. She should have never slept with a married man and maybe she wouldn’t be having this problem. You can’t get everything you want when you’re out of the will of God. There r going to be some consequences that you’re gonna have to face as a result of you actions. You did what you wanted to do regardless of who you hurt and as a result of that you have to deal. Clearly J Moss didn’t want the child if he offered her the money to have an abortion. I mean come on people. Why do we keep doing this to ourselves. There is a 4 D saying that says, “Dont Do Dat Dummy”. We can talk about what we think J Moss should do all day long but believe it or not J Moss is a grown man and he’s going to do what ever he choose to regardless of what we think. In my personal opinion since it was declared that the child is his he should take care of his responsibility monetarily and by spending time with the child. Just pray for him, you may not be in this type of situation but we all go through things. None of us are perfect and shouldn’t be so quick to put our foot on anyone else neck bcuz we’re not going though what they are going through. Our job is to help not hurt. Prayer is all we can do, that’s it, that’s all. May God’s will be done in this situation.
