Is Jack Chick Correct?

[Uncle Joe]

The story below seems to imply that if someone sees a Christian make a mistake, that person will never be saved because of the bad taste in his mouth.

In one of his booklets it describes a boss who had an employee who was a Christian. The boss was on the verge of becoming a Christian himself because he liked what he saw in his employee, always arrived early, stayed late, and did good work. This left a good impression on the boss. Then one day the employee realized he forgot to pick up some paperclips at the store, so he took some from the office intending to replace them the next day. Unbeknownest to him, the boss saw him put them in his pocket (not realizing his intention to replace them). This horrified the boss and he decided that if that's what Christians are like, it would be a frosty Friday in Hell before he would convert, and he decided to fire him at the next meeting. He didn't say anything to him about it in the story.


I think the employee used bad judgment in borrowing the paperclips without asking, but it seems a stretch to imply that the boss will never be saved.

Unfortunately, the story left it at that. I wish it would have shown the employee replacing the paperclips the next day and how the boss reacted to it.
