Why I No Longer Subscribe to Chick Publications Like I Did with Jesus-is-Savior

When I was newly saved - nothing felt more compelling than witnessing and spiritual growth. I was guilt-induced many times into thinking Roman Catholics are Christians when they're not. Something was worth researching - it was all about the devices of Satan. One of them was Roman Catholicism - a religion that I tried to reform but failed. I just needed some validation that my thoughts on Rome were not wrong. I found Chick Publications over the Internet and found it fascinating. The story of Alberto Rivera felt amazing but later drove me to paranoia. Then Chick Publications became the reason why I even started reading through Jesus-is-Savior. Both David J. Stewart and the late Jack Chick are conspiracy theorists that should be ignored. Also, please ignore J.D. Hall's Pulpit & Pen which follows a very similar approach.  Chick Publications had a wide array of entertaining tracts that can convict people. One of the best used is "This Was Your Life" which really c...

I Decided To Stop Reading Pulpit & Pen Just Like I Did With Jesus-Is-Savior

It seems to be that the website known as Pulpit & Pen is no different than Jesus-is-Savior. If Jesus-is-Savior has David J. Stewart (who's probably released on parole) then another person to probably watch out for is J.D. Hall who seems to be no better than Stewart. While Hall hasn't been heard of any similar charges like Stewart or teaching watered-down repentance - what he's doing isn't really doing anything good. How is Hall no different than Stewart? Both of these guys may have contrasting definitions of repentance (and Hall does shoot Stewart's easy-believism) but both of them seem to believe that being cheesy and offensive is the best way to reach the lost. It's safe to say that Hall has no right to criticize Stewart if he's doing something just as wrong! It's amazing how Hall himself also displays a certain level of arrogance similar to Reformation.org's nutjob Patrick Scrivener. Scrivener has been posting rather inaccurate informati...

Why I Think Following Jesus-is-Savior's Approach is a Very Bad Idea

I remembered how often I read the site Jesus-is-Savior. I was fascinated by it because of its conspiracy theories which only made my witness worse. I started to talk more about what the Vatican could be doing than talking about the plan of salvation to its misled victims. The problem of Jesus-is-Savior is that like Chick Publications - it has the tendency to use sensationalism, conspiracy theories, and make Roman Catholics look like they're all criminals than victims of the false teachings. The average Roman Catholic today knows almost nothing if not absolutely nothing about his or her dirty church history. I was looking at Answers in Genesis and I was tempted to go the same way as the pervert David J. Stewart. Wasn't Stewart the sex pervert (assuming that said charges against him are in fact, real) who deceived a lot of Christians reading his site? Then he has a flimsy stand on repentance - which nearly made me doubt if I were ever saved. As much as I believe in the do...
