Churchgoer Plays Chuck Smith Sermon Backwards, Discovers Postmillennialism

Church Refuses to Acknowledge Scandalous Hidden Message

A churchgoer in California claims to have discovered a hidden message in one of Chuck Smith's sermons on premillennialism, the belief that Jesus will return before a thousand-year reign of peace on earth. Chuck Smith (1927-2013) was the founder of Calvary Chapel, a movement of over 1,000 churches worldwide. The churchgoer, who wishes to remain anonymous, says he accidentally played the sermon backwards on his cassette player and was shocked by what he heard.

"I was listening to Pastor Chuck's sermon on Revelation 20, where he explains how the rapture will happen before the tribulation and the millennium," the churchgoer told us. "But then my cassette player malfunctioned and started playing the tape backwards. I was about to stop it, but then I heard something that caught my attention."

The churchgoer says he heard Chuck Smith say, in a clear and audible voice, "Postmillennialism is true. Jesus will return after the millennium. The church will bring God's kingdom on earth through the gospel. Premillennialism is a lie."

"I couldn't believe my ears," the churchgoer said. "I thought I was hearing things, but then I played it again and again, and it was the same message every time. I even recorded it and showed it to some of my friends, and they confirmed it."

The churchgoer says he has since changed his views on eschatology and embraced postmillennialism, the belief that Jesus will return after a thousand-year reign of peace on earth ushered in by the church. He says he feels liberated and hopeful by this new perspective.

"I used to be afraid of the end times and all the signs of the times," he said. "But now I see that God has a plan for his church to transform the world through his grace and power. I'm excited to be part of that mission."

The churchgoer says he has tried to contact Chuck Smith's ministry to ask him about the hidden message, but has not received a response. He says he wished that Chuck Smith would have come forward and admittedthat he secretly taught postmillennialism all along.

"Maybe he was afraid of losing his followers or his reputation if he revealed his true beliefs," the churchgoer speculated. "But I think he owed it to his listeners to tell them the truth. After all, the truth will set you free."

However, the churchgoer's theological journey did not end there. After the interview, he reportedly played a message from Greg Laurie’s latest Harvest Crusade - backwards - and became a Calvinist.

As the bemused agent tried to detain him, Anderson proclaimed, "You can't detain me! I'm free to believe because I'm Arminian!" The agent, mishearing the theological term, immediately sprang into action, shouting, "Armenian? We've got ourselves an illegal!" Chaos ensued as agents attempted to deport the protesting pastor to Armenia. "I said Arminian, not Armenian!" Anderson...

Pastor Jane's Inappropriate Relationships Spark Cheers of 'Yaaaaasss Queen' Amidst Ecclesiastical Double Standards

Breaking the Stained-Glass Ceiling: Pastor Jane's Scandalous Path to Feminist Icon Status In a groundbreaking moment for ecclesiastical equality, Pastor Jane Doe has become a beacon of feminist empowerment after being caught in a series of inappropriate relationships with male congregants. Her actions have sparked a wave of support, with many hailing her as a "Yaaaaasss Queen" for shattering the stained-glass ceiling. While male pastors have historically faced defrocking for similar indiscretions, Pastor Jane's case has been celebrated as a triumph of modern feminism. "Why should men have all the fun?" quipped one supporter, highlighting the double standards that have long plagued religious institutions. Critics, however, point to biblical texts that traditionally restrict the role of pastor to men and suggest women should remain silent in church. Yet, Pastor Jane's followers argue that these interpretations are outdated and patriarchal. "If she can...

Once Judeo-Christian Nation Watches Debate To Determine Which Immoral Reprobate Best Qualified to Lead

Nation’s Moral Compass Goes Haywire, Formally Resigns Following Debate Philadelphia - In a spectacle that could only be described as a divine comedy, the nation once hailed as a "Judeo-Christian" nation gathered to watch the presidential debate, eager to determine which immoral reprobate would best lead them forward. The candidates, both seasoned in the art of moral ambiguity, took the stage with the confidence of televangelists at a Sunday sermon. As the candidates took the stage, the audience was treated to a spectacle reminiscent of a reality show, complete with mudslinging and moral gymnastics that would make even the most seasoned circus performer blush. One candidate, known for his "alternative facts," argued passionately that he had the best rallies in the history of political rallies, while another claimed to be “unburdened by the past” [but still current] administration’s numerous international scandals and blunders, promising that to fix everything she h...
