You know, it’s easy to criticise Harold Camping for his foolish, unscriptural predictions.

But let’s face it - the very fact that he’s even generated this buzz is proof positive that American “Christianity” is in doldrums. Between the biblical ignorance of those who believe his datesetting, and the biblical ignorance of those who use his datesetting as an excuse to attack the legitimate biblical doctrines of the rapture, tribulation, millennial reign, and other scriptural eschatological positions, it’s hard to feel good about the state of American Christianity.

Correction, American "Dispensationalism" is in the doldrums. We in the reformed "covenant theology" camp don't give a hoot about the date setters, other than their "comedy/tragedy" value. We know we will be ready "whenever", because we know that it is God that preserves us not our own little tendrils of "faith".

The grifter Camping isn't the only "prophecy" hoaxter who sets dates and knows how to generate BUZZ.
