Chuck Colson – death of a deceiver and a man to
whom the Word of God meant nothing.
By J. Prasch.
In this article our friend J.P. exposes the myths
surrounding Chuck Colson, a man with no regard for Scripture although publicly
accepted as a crusading Christian. That description is thrown about too easily.
If you love the Lord you love His Word. Colson acted against the Gospel of
Jesus Christ at every opportunity. He has now gone to his reward…….AF
In John's Gospel Jesus spoke of those who
persecuted Jewish believers but who thought they were serving God while doing
evil (John 16:2 -3). They so acted because they did not know Jesus or His
Father. Chuck Colson, however, was a man who did evil, claimed to know Jesus
and to be "Born Again", which was the title of his book about his
claimed regeneration.
Colson was the lead author of the Evangelicals and
Catholics Together agreement signed by Pat Robertson, Calvinistic author J. I.
Packer, John Kent of The Church of The Nazarene and the late Bill Bright. The
document accepted Catholicism as scripturally Christian without reference to
the fact that while the true gospel teaches that the blood of Christ cleanses
from all sin, in Roman Catholicism one atones for one’s own sin in purgatory
and salvation is not by a second birth regeneration but by 'ex oper operato'
sacramental rituals.
The idolatry of graven images and worshipping bread
and wine as a transubstantiated reincarnation of Jesus Christ, killing him
again in the mass and eating Him in an act of religious cannibalism meant
nothing to Colson. The false Christ of the Eucharist, the necromancy of prayers
to the dead, and the vampire-like consumption of blood - condemned by the
apostles in The Book of Acts chapter 15 - were of no more consequence to Colson
than was Rome's false gospel.
Colson just did not care. The Word of God meant
nothing to Chuck Colson. His actions were in open defiance of it. If it did
mean anything to him he would likely not have received the Templeton prize for
religion. Neither would he have turned his prison ministry over to a Roman
Catholic.
It was Colson whom Satan ordained to persuade
Evangelicals to refrain from evangelizing Roman Catholics. As one with a Roman
Catholic mother on her way to eternal hell, trusting in scapulars and the
traditions of men instead of in the true gospel of Jesus for her salvation, I
loathe the legacy of this deceiver who was mislead by the devil and inspired by
Satan to mislead others. There have been few agents of hell more destructive to
the cause of Christ than Chuck Colson. Roman Catholics need salvation and
should be given the true gospel. I suggest those foolishly supportive of Colson
ask former Catholics who have been saved.
Although a convicted criminal sent to prison for
political corruption , Colson was an activist who tried to identify the
Republican Party with Evangelical Christianity in his radio messages. Ronald
Reagan's Hollywood divorce and remarriage, Nancy Reagan's advice to her husband
acquired from the fortune tellers such as Jean Dixon she consulted, and George
Bush placing a Koran which states that God has no Son, (a mark of antichrist
according to 1 John) in the White House were irrelevant to Colson.
That President Eisenhower's Earl Warren-led
Republican Supreme Court ordered God out of the classroom, that Nixon's Warren
Berger Republican Supreme Court ordered God out of the maternity ward with Roe
vs Wade, and that Reagan's pro-abortion Supreme court appointee Sandra Day
O'Connor ordered God and the 10 Commandments out of the courtroom and judicial
building cut no ice with Colson. Neither did O’Connor writing the court’s
decision, based on foreign precedent, to outlaw the Texas anti-sodomy law which
opened the door for the national surge to same sex marriage: it all evaded
Colson's criticism. To Colson, religion was about politics. He had been a liar
for a corrupt Nixon White House and was transformed into a liar for a corrupt,
pedophile-protecting Vatican.
Colson also endorsed the book Ecumenical Jihad by
ex- Evangelical Peter Kreeft which urges ecumenical union with Islam to morally
redeem society. Colson had an antichrist spirit and he served Satan powerfully.
We shall all appear before the judgment seat of Christ and it is not for me to
judge Chuck Colon. It is, however, for all of us to judge his doctrines and his
ventures on the basis of God's Word. In doing so it is evident that the deeds
and doctrines of Chuck Colson emanated straight from the pit of hell.
Without doubt there will be a chorus of ignorant
religious cranks taking offense at these remarks concerning Chuck Colson,
oblivious to the fact that everything I have written concerning Colson is
irrefutably true. My only response to their silly religious rhetoric is to deal
with the established facts - or don't deal at all.
WHY I AM NOT A DISPENSATIONALIST; John Nelson Darby is recognized as the father of dispensationalism later made popular in the United States by Cyrus Scofield's Scofield Reference Bible. Charles Henry Mackintosh, 1820–1896, with his popular style spread Darby's teachings to humbler elements in society and may be regarded as the journalist of the Brethren Movement. CHM popularised Darby more than any other Brethren author. As there was no Christian teaching of a “rapture” before Darby began preaching about it in the 1830s, he is sometimes credited with originating the "secret rapture" theory wherein Christ will suddenly remove His bride, the Church, from this world before the judgments of the tribulation. Dispensationalist beliefs about the fate of the Jews and the re-establishment of the Kingdom of Israel put dispensationalists at the forefront of Christian Zionism, because "God is able to graft them in again," and they believe that in His grace he will do so according to their understanding of Old Testament prophecy. They believe that, while the methodologies of God may change, His purposes to bless Israel will never be forgotten, just as He has shown unmerited favour to the Church, He will do so to a remnant of Israel to fulfill all the promises made to the genetic seed of Abraham. I am not a dispensationalist; it is unbiblical and thoroughly evil.
