How do you guys feel about his work? Do you use his tracts during witnessing? What are some of your favorite titles? Any other thoughts?

I love Chick tracts. He covers a variety of subjects and always provides scripture reference. Of course they directly address many things that Christian ministries often perfer to not touch, which makes them all the more valuable. The Holy Joe one is one of my favorites because it shows that soldiers can be faithful Christians as well, despite what passives may preach. It is clear to me that Jack Chick has a heart for saving the lost.

His heart is in the right place. He might be wrong about a couple things, but he does have a good salvation message.

Not a fan. Lots of factual errors - some are outright lies. Using false information to deliver the gospel is not a good thing.

Even in that "Holy Joe" tract the Joe character tells someone they are going to hell. How is it that Joe knows that?

I know lots of people who are going to hell, and I'd tell them too. Jack Chick doesn't have to follow CF forum rules when writing his tracts.

Probably the fact that the Bible says with Jesus there is life, without the wrath of God.

Personally I don't like Jack Chick's dogmatic view on some things that are open to personal convictions. I do not believe the Catholic church is the antiChrist, nor do I think the KJV is the version Jesus used. I disagree with a lot of Catholic doctrine, but I don't beleive all members are going to hell, and I think the KJV has errors which are not in the original language, but it's a good translation anyway.

See, you have it all wrong. The Catholic church isn't the anti-christ, it's the whore, the pope is the anti-Christ, and nowhere does anything in his literature say Jesus used the KJV. You are exagerating and using hyberbole, which is something Jack Chick does a lot in his literature.


What hate, I thought a Christian was about love,tolerance and respect not calling other people/Christians "who I believe are as well as anyone else of all christian dems." whores I am very disappointed in you. :(

Typical reaction; accuse someone of hate to avoid addressing the issues. As I said, Jack Chick is not bound by the forum rules here when he makes his literature. He doesn't have to show tolerance and let lost souls go to hell because Christian forums says this or that belief must be "Christian." A Christian isn't about tolerance and respect, it's about saving peoples' souls from the fires of hell.

Just to make it clear, I am discussing what it is believed that Chick publications believes and am not saying anyone is not a Christian.

:thumbsup: Thank God for that! That Jack doesn't have to follow CF rules, that is.

So...which pope is the antiChrist? There have been several! ;)

I think Jack Chick's heart is in the right place, but I think he may want to rethink his methods. It is possible to preach a clear gospel message (not watered down!) without making people angry with you!!

John 15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
