I see what you're saying, but again, this is a matter of opinion.

You said in the post I replied to you did not want to debate.

I posted the Scripture response so people can find out for themselves, not to debate.

It is not a matter of opinion, it is or must be all based on Yahweh's Will Revealed by His Word.

Your post I am replying to now is subject to testing also, it looks/seems/ quite off.

Yeah maybe the story of the one caught in the act of adultery would be good too where Jesus says those wanting to condemn her, "He that is without sin let him cast the first stone!"

Don't stop short.
What did Jesus tell her (and His disciples) ?

....... sin no more .....

However, God speaks to us all as the individuals that we are, therefore we are all going to have different convictions.

This isn't truth. Not in line with His Word.
When all the sinners were convicted by the message, that they had crucified the Messiah, they ALL repented of ALL their sins - they did not get to pick and choose and say okay to some sins.
That is the 'trouble with chick' - He exposed everyone's pet sins , very clearly.

Just now saw this. In what way or ways did my post look "off" to you? Just tell me, and I will answer to the best of my ability.

Honestly, it looks like you don't want to know.

Sorry?? His tracts are immersed in Christ's love and Scripture !

He did what others were afraid to do - speak out against blatant sin.

As written "open rebuke is better than hidden love".

Okay. I am forever grateful that God used Jack Chick and he has helped to lead me and many others to the Lord, and I do believe he did a great job with “This Was Your Life” and other tracts, but I feel he did not have to portray demons and the devil laughing, etc. We are to avoid evil communications. I remember a pastor doing a series of sermons focused on the devil. It was as if he was giving glory to the enemy instead of God. Granted, I am not saying we should never mention the devil, but to give too much attention to him when God should be more of our focus in life is wrong in my view. We are to focus and think on that which is good.

au contrare - when I saw those tracts, exposing the devil, it was wonderful and simple and put ol' slew in his place.... let people know that they can laugh at him as God laughs at him,
because his power is all and only deception and lies .... like snaggletooth? the teeth have been taken out of his bite ..... his bark can simply be ignore, and he FLEES when we resist him....

Even the people who think they are so powerful and think they cannot be beat by little children ,
God laughs at their plans (the plans of the wicked) , and dismisses them quickly.

God is Faithful and True,
Rejoice and Be Glad,
as Jesus Says, we have much painful suffering,
but "I (Jesus) have overcome the world"

Discuss your grievances with Jack Chick's eponymous tracts here, instead of my Graphic Tracts thread.

I think that he goers way overboard, and tries to hit people over the head, using his tracks as a big hammer!
Its not so much the facts, but the way it was presented!

 

[yeshuaslavejeff]

Yes, I do. I am willing to try my best to clear up what I am trying to get at for you. But I am not sure this is the thread for it.

Please feel free to message me about this, and I'll answer as I can. I want us to be able to come to an understanding and get along as fellow believers.

For twice or thrice you saying you didn't want to debate, your posts show totally otherwise.

I posted what is needed in my FIRST REPLY. That is all you need to find the truth if you want.
If you want to debate, that's another story. I don't think it would help . I don't want to hear again what you are trying to get at - I already know as you posted it. Thanks tho.

sword, yes.
As Jesus Says

It was through a Chick tract that I recommitted my life to Christ Jesus way back in the 80's. His tracts have been used by God to bring many sons to glory; however...??!

I see what you're saying, but again, this is a matter of opinion. Romans 14 speaks of doubtful disputations (no, I am not talking about things that are clearly sinful according to the Bible) and that nothing is unclean in and of itself. The issue with the Bible versions is that while there are some translations to watch out for, there is documentation that even the King James translators themselves encouraged the use of other translations. As for the music issue, I disagree on that too. I like all kinds of music, and I don't think there is anything wrong with a non-Christian song that has wholesome messages. I do have standards and a line I draw regarding the music I listen to. This is the same with movies, TV shows, and books. If you disagree, fine, but please do so respectfully and don't write me off as "less spiritual" just because of of different convictions.

Here is a commentary that explains the music issue better than I can. I pretty much share the sentiments of the writer here.

Musings on Church Music

This part of the blog touches specifically on the issue of secular music.

Should Christians listen to "Secular" music?

As I said before, I wish not to debate.

2018 will go down as the year Demonhunter made me cry

Okay, fine. All I know is, we agree that the Bible is truth. But we, as mere humans, are fallible, and that's why we err. We see in a glass dimly until eternity.

Now I will truly bow out.

I truly have no hard feelings (and as you can see, I stink at debate!)

Anyway, God bless you.

He has been a bit too heavy with ref to the Roman Catholicism and her abominations

His tact and his tone leaves much to be desired!
