Jack Chick tracts

That has traction.

 

Right, the Roman Catholic Church hierarchy crossed over from attacking the Reformation to being our friends in the blood.

 

Doesn't mean "This Was Your Life" is wrong to put out.

I read it too as a young unbeliever.

How about all those others who have sinned?

Throw out everything they ever did?

Of course, I'm not talking about us.

 

BINGO! Chick Tracks KNEW that the 'so-called' Father Rivera tracks were lies. He was never ordained a priest in the Catholic Church and knew nothing about Catholic belief. Why would anyone financially support an organization that outright lies? Many Christian bookstores have removed them from their shelves.

I used to believe the rubbish that was published by 'so-called' Catholic Buster's. Then I read a book: 'Born Evangelical, Born Again Catholic', by David Currie.

David Currie was raised in a devout Christian family whose father was a fundamentalist preacher and both parents teachers at Moody Bible Institute. Currie's whole upbringing was immersed in the life of fundamentalist Protestantism - theology professors, seminary presidents and founders of evangelical mission agencies were frequent guests at his family dinner table. Currie received a degree from Trinity International University and studied in the Masters of Divinity program. This book was written as an explanation to his fundamentalist and evangelical friends and family about why he became a Roman Catholic. Currie presents a very lucid, systematic and intelligible account of the reasons for his conversion to the ancient Church that Christ founded. He gives a detailed discussion of the important theological and doctrinal beliefs Catholic and evangelicals hold in common, as well as the key doctrines that separate us, particularly the Eucharist, the Pope, and Mary.

He demolishes your 'objection' to the Catholic faith. Most here would never dream of picking up a book that destroys their evangelical pre-conceived interpretations of scripture. But, I know some that have along the way on this board and are now no longer evangelicals but Catholic Christians. Me included!

 

If you are referring to me I am not against believing in Jesus Catholics.

It is certain parts of Roman Catholicism, the falsehoods that generations of leaders, specifically, have promoted.

What does Currie directly have to do with Chick and Alberto?

Not into trading Protestant vs Roman sinners.

Are you?

We wouldn't be here for eternity but it might seem like it.

 

While a student at Mood Bible Institute, Currie used to go into Catholic parking lots while mass was being celebrated and put Chick Tracts on peoples windshields. He believed all the anti-Catholic nonsense he had been fed from growing up in a fundamentalist home. He finally studied closely the ACTUAL Catholic teaching and found out the 'falsehoods' you refer to were rubbish. At one time I hated Catholicism for what I thought it taught, now I 'R' one!

 

@Walter,
Thank you for bringing David Currie's book to my attention.

If you would, could you please cite the one big issue that you understand changed David Currie's mind.

FYI I am a fundamentalist in my back ground. Became a Christian in 1962.

One issue up font, his book title:
Born Fundamentalist, Born Again Catholic
Would have been better as, Born Again Fundamentalist, Born Again Catholic
But his choice of title is telling.

 

Once I was an unbeliever and hated all religions.

Was there ever a Roman Catholic leader who was bad?

Just one?

Could you allow for many?

The list is long for Protestant leaders who are somewhat, if not completely, bad right now.

You have no false doctrines at all?

How do you know?

 

I thought we were not really going to trade bad guys.

Don't you think the RCC has compiled a list of Protestants that have been/are bad?

Protestants and Roman Catholics are all human and that means, guess what?

But, I would agree that there have been some really awful doctrines created, maintained, and propagated at the insistence of the RCC leadership that keep many away from Christ.

 

Ok.
