“This is terrible.”

And this is a woman who was going to be a doctor, so she’s not dumb.

I used to listen to Camping in the eighties and early nineties. I was not a new Christian, but had some basic principles of bible interpretation.

I had just enough to come to the place where he had me very confused.

I never really believed JC would come in 1994, but I didn’t understand WHY Camping’s methods were so flawed. I do owe him - he made me realize I had to understand hermaneutics more- and I went out of my way to truly study the subject. Walter Martin had a good six cassette set on the subject and it was funny - almost every rule he brought up, Camping had broken.

But I can understand how an undereducated or new Christian could fall for his stuff, and how devasting it could be on their future faith.

I remember coming home from the South in 1994 Sept and seeing bedsheets over the parkway railings “Christ is Coming”. There were people in my town who sold everything they had in prep.

Huh?

My (former) doctor voted for Obama.

A lot of people are 'going to be' a lot of things, it doesn't make them dumb or smart.
