Bible says we won’t know. So anyone who says they DO know seems to be in disagreement with the Bible.

No man/woman/child knows the date. I don’t believe in the Rapture as well (maybe I am wrong but I have searched for the term in Revelations and have never found it). Personally, I think it is man-made and makes people feel better that they won’t be here for when the mud hits the fan. IMHO.

“...and their aim is to get unbelievers to turn around quickly.” Just a thought here, but things like this and attitudes like these may just be the reason people put crucifixes in urine and ants on Jesus.

As all have rightly pointed out, if Jesus didn't know the day or the hour (but merely the season), then Mr. Camping is not on the Need-to-know-list. Secondly, no where any place in the scriptures (old or new) does it say “Naggeth your brother/sister into the Kingdom of Heaven.” You can pray that God sends the Holy Spirit to ready the ground and then sends the workers, but faith is a GIFT, folks. The signal graces outlined in Paul's letters are GIFTS which, when asked for, are freely given. Our job is to pray and live a joyous, commendable life to the point where others will want what we have. Then we get the happy job of telling them that it's free for the asking. No more, no less.

It is the Father's work, through His Holy Spirit (whom, by the way, I'm madly in love with), and I can happily say the affection is returned daily.

Guess Harold Camping knows more than Jesus.

I didn’t even know Camping was still Earthside.

Back in the ‘80s I was a computer programmer and worked with a lot of people who had degrees in other disciplines. One guy had a degree in Theology and we talked a bit about the charlatans that infect every religion.

He told of one preacher who predicted Christ’s return on a certain date and that all his flock should prepare a proper residence for Him. They dutifully built a large mansion type house and went up on a hill to wait for The Arrival. When Jesus was a no-show the preacher said it would be a shame for the mansion to go to waste - so he moved in - and his flock thought it proper. (sigh)

This guy has RV’s with the fancy full body paint job driving around our area with this same message. Eight of them passed me in a caravan during lunch.

Couldn't they make it before April 15? I hate to have to think about Tax Day and the end of the world as we know it.

What a relief! My birthday is earlier in May, so I can look forward to another batch of presents.

Do you suppose I can take any with me?
