But let’s face it - the very fact that he’s even generated this buzz is proof positive that American “Christianity” is in doldrums.

Of course, the real tragedy in all of Camping’s date-setting and false teaching is that it makes the Virgin Birth, the Cross, the Resurrection, and especially the true, promised return of Jesus Christ that much more implausible to “those who are perishing.” 1 Peter 3:3-4 says, “Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming?”

Now, if only "covenant theology" were scriptural, you'd be all set.
