Chick tracts

That is just the thing, USN.

Jack Chick's material HAS done some good, especially the "This Was Your Life" tract. Many people have indeed found Christ because of it and other tracts of his.

Unfortunately, his associations have appeared to have tainted him, and so he seems to lack the needed credibility to be an effective ministry for the gospel.

Excuse me, but I've never implied any such thing although, in all honesty, his actions are not the actions of someone who claims to be following Christ.

What place do hatred and bitterness and strife have in the Christian's life? How can Chick say that he loves God and then turn around and show hatred towards gays and Catholics?

Actually, I never said that.

That, I did say. I would rather have people think I was a pervert than to think that I was a hatemonger.

With which I heartily agree.

It does seem to be the liberal way, does it not? "I am accepting of everyone except YOU." Billy Graham with his blatant denial of some fundamentals of scripture is extolled, while a tract printer (who nobody really knows much of anything about) is deemed unsaved and his material proclaimed worse than pornography.

I know people who were led to Christ as a result of Mormonism and The Watchtower. What's your point? Are Mormonism and The Wtchtwer's false doctrine OK now?

May I remind you that you and Squire will also be held accountable for putting words into my mouth in order to make it appear that I said something I never said?

 

This could be restated: "What place do hatred and bitterness and strife have in the Christian's life? How can Mike say that he loves God and then turn around and show hatred towards Chick?"

Mormonism does not lead to Christ. Watchtower does not lead to Christ. They both lead away. I'm surprised you don't realize this having come from a cult yourself. A person cannot know God while worshipping in the systems of Mormonism or that of the JWs.

As opposed to his already having Jesus?

But then, you'd have to demonstrate how I've shown hatred towards Jack Chick and I haven't.

Nor does Chick.

My point was that God can use what ever He pleases to speak to people without actually endorsing it.

As opposed to his fruit not being indicative of someone who has Jesus.

One can know Jesus and not have Jesus. One can have Jesus and not know Jesus.

 

Okay, in what way has Chick shown hatred toward homosexuals and catholics?

Jason

 

One way he does this is by portraying them all as mincing, lisping, childmolesting stereotypes.

When was the last time Chick drew a gay person as a responsible citizen? A good neighbor? A loving parent?

You won't. In Chick's mind, all gays are leather short shorts wearing, Judy Garland listening childmolesters.

In the same way, it serves no purpose other than Chick's goofball sense of demented reality to portray Catholics as statue worshipping automatons, led about by the Vatican on a leash and it certainly does nothing to further the Gospel - if, indeed, that is his real goal - to label Catholics' church as being demonic or to portray the pope with devils' horns or call him the anti-Christ.

If you're going to evangelize a group of people, you're not going to do it by demonizing them orcalling names or ridiculing them, but by preaching Christ crucified.

 

Just wanted to clarify something.

I just noticed that the following statement appeared with my comments:

It should not have. This was a quoting mistake on my part. I don't in any way hold these views but, to the contrary have a tremendous amount of respect for Dr. Graham and his ministry and none whatsoever for the afformentioned "tract printer".

 

Alexandra, it's been well over a week and you still haven't told us what "research" you've done.

 

how about this, you pick the one you like, check if its biblical and if it is, order it. We all make mistakes, you don't condemn a person and his work for some mistakes.

As for gay and Catholics… When did Jesus portray Pharisees as responsible citizens, good neighbors, and loving parents? He exposed them for their sinful life. This is about dealing with heresy, and not about being a good citizen by being a good neighbor and a loving parent.

 

No, He exposed them and confronted them for the abuses they comitted in their office as leaders of the day.

Nowhere did He engage in hate filled, childish namecalling, stereotyping, false accusations, or rabble rousing and preying on people's fears to stir hatred toward them.

Rather, He confronted them and their sin and simply held up their religious teaching to the Gospel and let the Gospel speak for itself.

Fine, then let's deal with the heresy and not engage in hate filled personal attacks.

 

I love and have used Chick tracts for years, along with precious promise KJV NT AND a few others. I like all the chick tracts put out..I really like the "In the Beginning" one. Kids love to read these comic style tracts too.
