You just know during the night of May 21, the neighbors of these people will lay out complete but empty suits of clothing outside their homes.
From Wikipedia:
In 1961, Family Radio began the Open Forum program, a live weeknight call-in program that Camping hosts.[1] Listeners call in primarily with questions about the meaning of certain passages from the Bible, and Camping answers them by means of interpretations, often with reference to other Biblical passages. Occasionally the questions pertain to general Christian doctrine, such as the nature of sin and salvation, and to matters of everyday life conduct, such as marriage, sexual morality, and education.[1]
This program has continued to the present time and is broadcast on the more than 150 stations owned by Family Radio in the United States. Family Radio programming is broadcast worldwide via shortwave station WYFR, a network of AM and FM radio stations, a cable television station, and the Internet.
In 1970, Camping published The Biblical Calendar of History (later greatly expanded in Adam When?) in which he dated the Creation of the world to the year 11,013 BC and the Flood to 4990 BC. This was in contrast to Bishop James Ussher's famous chronology, which placed creation at 4004 BC and the Flood at 2348 BC. Camping argued that Ussher's dates "agree neither with the Biblical nor the secular evidence" and thus Ussher's methodology was flawed.[7]
Camping teaches that a Biblical calendar has been hidden according to Daniel 12:9, Revelation 22:10 detailing the imminent end of the world (with alleged Biblical evidence pointing to the date for the Rapture as May 21, 2011);[8] of the "end of the church age" (which asserts that churches are no longer the vehicle used by God for salvation, 1 Peter 4:17);[9] and of predestination (Ephesians 1:4-5), according to which God determined before the beginning of the world which individuals are to be saved. In Camping's latest publications, he states that May 21, 2011 will be "the first day of the Day of Judgment"[10] and October 21, 2011 will be the end of the world.[11] Critics call Camping a "date-setter" following his own method of Biblical interpretation. Camping maintains that he follows the Bible's method of Biblical interpretation.[12]
Followers of Camping claim that around 200 million people (approximately 3% of the world's population) will be raptured.[31]
Obama has been president for a couple of years now, did you miss it?
Is this the end or did he say it was the beginning of the end?
I wonder if him made his house payment this month?
This will be my third end of the world since 1986.
I am like... all atwitter... and such stuff like that.
Camping is a false prophet who, by his predictions, corrupts the Christian gospel.
Jesus Himself explicitly and repeatedly teaches that know man knows the day and the hour.
Camping is holding up Christians to such ridicule with these predictions. Not to mention the families that are going to be devastated.
“We budgeted everything so that, on May 21, we won’t have anything left,” Adrienne adds.”
This is terrible.
~~~ping~~~
Self fulfilling prophecy for those who plan to exhaust their
resources by May 21. It will be hell to wake up on May 22nd with
nothing and the disappointment that life goes on. Food costs money.
I sincerely hope the number of folks who took this hook, line and
sinker is small. Hope for the best, plan for the worst. In this case, plan
to keep on living. If the rapture occurs, the material items left behind
are of no consequence. Got an earthquake kit? It’s a good idea. Somes
an earthquake is just an earthquake.
So if God determined before the beginning of the world which individuals are to be saved, does that mean that a lot of people are doomed and whether they’re good people or evil bastards they’re still not gonna be raptured? Sounds like a pretty crappy system to me.
“Sorry, but even though you’ve lived an exemplary life you’ve drawn a short straw and will have to be... Left Behind!”
Religious stories were written by people long before they had enough knowledge to get it right. The end of the world happens on an individual basis when we die. that’s all. The planet keeps chugging right along. No heaven, no hell, no rapture. I even asked God about it and he didn’t answer because he’s not real.
Ayn Rand gave us the phrase, “Going Galt”. This nutjob gives a new
meaning to the phrase, “Going Camping”
Bummer.
Yeah ok... I’m betting will all still be here on May 22
As I’ve said on other threads - our church is planning a barn dance May 21st. If it’s the end of the world - we’re gonna go out dancing.
dammit, I’ve got something going on that weekend, can’t he push it out a few days?
Camping is a false teacher and false prophet. He has already “predicted” the exact date of the end of the world—September 6, 1994.
Anyone who believes him is a fool.
Camping should repent, but since he has not done so since 1994 (as evidenced by his decision to propose a new date), it is unlikely that he will.
Bummer! This ruins my vacation plans.
The point is that nobody will know when; the important thing is to be faithful at all times.
I'm a little bothered by these statements; the key is to be vigilant at all times. Of course it is their right to do so.
Mat 24:36 ¶ But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
2 Thessalonians 2
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that
man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God
sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
1 Thessalonians 5
The Day of the Lord
1 Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, 2 for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
