New(er?) one
here.
So, now the Catholics started Islam, Communism, the Freemasons, and
the Nazis.
Fang has a cameo, barking at the line of monks. Not Fang's best moment, by a long shot.
What is really funny about this track is Jack doesn't even know his KJV bible that well.
Chick likes to claim that good works are not the way into Heaven; he fails to explain those passages (like Psalm 62:12, Jeremiah 17:10, Matthew 16:27, Matthew 25:41-46, Luke 10:26-28, James 2:17, and Revelation 20:12-13) which state that good works
are required for salvation.
It gets
really bizarre when Chick points out one part of the Bible and ignores the adjacent passages that totally undermine the very point he is raising. For example, in The Chaplain Chick refers to Matthew 25:41 while ignoring Matthew 25:42-46 showing that good works are a requirement.
This lack of crosschecking research gets really bizarre when you compare tracts. Take
Flight 144 (1998) and
Somebody Goofed (2002) for example. In
Flight 144 Chick has a character state "The Bible says that good works can't save anyone" but in
Somebody Goofed Chick has a reference that simply says "**Rev 20:12-15". Well here is the King James version of that reference, with some boldface added for emphasis:
"And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life:
and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them:
and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." (Revelation 20:12-15)
There in the very passage Chick himself references it is stated twice that good works are required. Matthew 25:41-46 is even more to the point on the matter:
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you,
Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
This directly contradicts
Mama's Girls (2012) but then the
Bible contradicts itself all over the place not only in the details of history it gives but regarding salvation as well.
Of course the major flaw in all these tracks is that God does
nothing to clean up the mess made by Satan which brings up the old adage 'All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.'
If that is true of men then what of a God that stopped sending messages about 2,000 years ago? The whole thing doesn't make any kind of sense.
Then there is the logic hole a mile wide--if as Chick claims no one can get into Heaven and there is no purgatory then any person no matter young is doomed to Hell if they don't accept about Jesus. But how can you accept someone odds are you never even heard of?
This is true even today as there are places remote enough where the brand of Christianity Chick claims is the real deal never gets to.
