Chick tracts

Hey, those things work!

A friend of mine read "This Was Your Life" that was left in a public reatroom, and accepted Christ. He is now an associate pastor.

You never know who will pick up a tract that you plant. And Chick tracts are in comic-book form, so they are especially attractive.

In Christ,

There are several good tracts put out by Chick Publications. I don't like all of them, but "This Was Your Life" is a good one. I keep a few hundred of those in English, several of the same title in Spanish as well.

I personally pick and choose from Chick Publications. I don't like all of them, but "This Was Your Life," "Creator or Liar," and "One Way" are very good tracts.

 

Jack Chick has been documented to be telling untruths. The Alberto story is full of falsehoods (see http://www.cornerstonemag.com/pages/show_page.asp?228) , yet Jack Chick continues to grind out that comic book, as he has for years.

Lying to get people to commit to Jesus is still lying.

 

i love chick tracts, besides leaving them in places for people to find, i ordered the sampler pack and the comic books just for family reading. everyone except little ari (2 yrs old) has read them all!

many of the ray comfort tracts are good too, imo.

Alexandra, just do a little research before you jump on a Chick bandwagon. The man is not honest.

It is quite easy to do. Google is a good place to start.

You will also easily find that Chick's tracts also contain a large number of errors.

 

C-Stone isn't Catholic.

Actually, C-Stone isn't just "some schlub who threw together a web site".

They're a nationally recognized, award winning magazine, who's expose of the Mike Warnke scandal made every news organization in the country sit up and take notice.

What kind of research did you do?

And what do you base this on?

Why Christians continue to support this brown shirted thug, I have no idea.

 

In the immortal words of the Storyteller, Tom T. Hall, "God bless little children while they're still too young to hate".

 

Nevertheless, it is Cornerstone Magazine.

Yeah, I hate it when someone preaches the Gospel and all those people respond to it.

Yes, it is.

 

Yes, it is. </font>[/QUOTE]you certainly have a strange idea of fellowship! your comments belong in a debate forum.

 

I'm sorry you feel that way.

When someone says that a respected magazine is "some schlub on the internet", I don't think it's unreasonable to point out that this is a real, reputable magazine.

When someone says that they have "researched" something and come to a conclusion that doesn't jibe with common belief, I don't think it's unreasonable to ask what research they did and how they came to their conclusion.

When someone says that a ministry with a reputation for solid Gospel preaching and leading God only knows how many people to Christ is a bad thing, I don't think it's unreasonable to call attention to that.

You're right that this isn't a debate forums and, indeed, I did not debate anyone.

All I did was to ask a couple of questions and quote Tom T. Hall.

It's a little unreasonable to bring up something as controversial as Chick Tracts and not expect someone else to have an opinion.

 

Used to love 'em. But now I can't stand them.

 

Same here.

I remember being a new Christian and leaving them is phone booths (which is littering, by the way).

Now, I'm embarrassed that I had a hand in passing along Chick's hatred.
