Blow the trumpet, Warn the People

My birthday is the 16th and I'd really, REALLY like a new Corvette, even if just for a few days.

 

Jesus might return on the predicted day (in spite of Camping). Chances are He won't.

I'm hoping for an earlier return (like today).

Some believe He's come already and reigning.

Some believe He's come and gone.

If He doesn't come on or before the predicted day, the Camping reponse will be interesting to hear.

Luke 21:8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

From what I heard they were talking about the rapture. They have an "out", because I think they said that if that day comes and they're all still here then they weren't truly believers. So after that day I think you have the great potential for those people to move away from the church instead of closer to it.

 

Harold Camping is a messed up Calvinist.
I can't wait for what he's going to say when May 21, 2011 becomes May 22, 2011.
I'll probably write him to tell him to get off the air, go to the California mountains, and take a hike.

 

There's a whole page on there aiming to answer that:

I just glossed through it, and it takes awhile to really get to the point, but basically, the reasoning seems to go; the book was sealed then, but is open now (based on his whole numerology surrounding the 1988 date, of course).

 

Sounds like the SDA open door shut door baloney (or is it balogna)?

 

Any group that tells people to leave the church of the Lord Jesus Christ should be avoided like the plague.

Mat 16:18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

I believe the church will always be here until the Lord raptures it to heaven, which will happen when God wants. Any teacher that would advocate leaving the church (I'm talking about the universal church) is a heretic and an anti-Christ!

 

I was listening to a talk show host discuss this and he said that Harold Camping has stated that if he is still here on May 22nd that he(Harold Camping) is not saved.

 

I don't know about how those folks will handle it come May 22nd - unless the Lord returns before May 22nd since He can return and put an end to this present heavens and earth any day.

Needless to say, some talk radio shows are having somewhat of a field day in discussing this.

 

I think he also stated that none of his followers were truly saved either if this occurs. If they are using the same doctrine of being saved and born again by the blood of Jesus, then this could be quite the problem when it comes to dealing with couples like the one you mentioned. I would think it would just end up turning them even further away from the truth, or he will come up with some excuse of miscalculation and they'll continue to follow. I don't think it will be as easy as oh ok it's May 22nd, let's get back to where we belong.

 

The main thing is praying for them, that's the best thing in the world you can do!
