Doomsday campers travel the country preaching the Apocalypse...on May 21
mail online ^

Posted on 03/08/2011 12:30:48 PM PST by Scythian



Most people like to push thoughts about the end of the world to the back of their minds, hoping that the apocalypse, if it ever comes, will be a long way off.

But for one group of not-so happy campers, doomsday is a lot sooner...May 21 to be precise.

According to the predictions of the Family Radio ministry, on that date a massive earthquake will shake the world apart, littering the ground with 'many dead bodies'.



I think this is Harold Camping's group again ...

I listen to Family Radio for the music. The station features traditional Christian hymns and gospel songs, not the boring “praise” music or insipid “contemporary Christian” recordings found on most other Christian stations. However, when Camping comes on and starts talking, I turn to another station.

I’ll trust Christ words and not those of false prophets.

The Bible prescribes a remedy for false prophets. Do you really want to go there? How many times has that NUT predicted it? I can think of three other times. The problem I have with NUTS like this is that they diminish the word of God. Any one can have an opinion, but this NUT says the Bible guarantees it. This is just as bad as the NUT from Westboro notbaptist church who says God Hates America, and hates fags. Why would God send his Son to die on the cross for those he hates? He didn't, he SO LOVES THE WORLD. The fraud NUT from family radio is the same. I find it funny that he “knows” so much but when someone tries to show him his error he attacks them for diminishing his faith.

I think it would be funny if Jesus called His Bride on say, May 16thn but left Campy and his followers for a few days (if they are even saved).

WTF? (Winning The Future)
What does it mean that the End of the World "Begins" on May 21st (as is printed on their bus)? Do they have an End End date in mind. I.e., is this 'beginning' going to take 6 months, 7 years, 1000 years?
If they mean May 21st is the 'beginning' of an indeterminately long process that will lead to an 'End' ... sure, why not...

Mr. Camping, before he became obsessed with worshiping numbers, used to say something quite correct - which I'll paraphrase: '150,000 people die a day. You could be one of them. If you are, it is the "End Time" for you. Are you ready? Are you resting in Christ's finished work - or are you going on like you have an infinite number of 'tomorrows'?'

We have a life to live - but keep your eyes on eternity and on Christ. Because HE is our Peace and all our Hopes.

>>>They mocked Lot, they mocked Noah and they mocked our Lord and Savior. If there is any mocking to be done I think I would wait until May 22nd...<<<

True, but Noah and Lot were obeying the word that had received directly from God. Camping is directly violating it with his date setting.

“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.” - Matthew 24:36

I believe Christ could return at any time, but based upon the Scriptural warning against date guessing, the one day I am pretty much certain it will NOT happen is May 21, 2011.

I wonder what excuse Camping will come up with when it doesn't happen? Will he claim it actually did, secretly happen, like the JWs or set a new date, like the Millerites (forebearers of the Seventh Day Adventists).

These nutcases passed through my town not long ago. They had a whole caravan of trucks, RVs and goodness only knows what, so I guess there’s money behind this.

It’s a pity they’re so nutty, because I occasionally listen to Family Radio for the music.

But Our Lord did tell us not to worry about the dates and times and I prefer His words to theirs.

These silly cultists have been around since the time of Christ, and will be around until He really does return.

They are trampling the Scriptures which say, “No man knows the day or the hour...”.

There’s a PhD seismologist on the west coast who made the mistake of predicting an earthquake back in the 90s based on full moon-induced high tides. He was an employee of one of the municipalities and he was fired for his flagrant unorthodoxy. As it turns out, he was and is usually correct. I’m parroting what he has been saying for several years. Let’s see what happens. sd
(Bear in mind that the quake can happen anywhere in the world and it has to be a property damager.)

“Despite his conviction, Camping has predicted the world would end before - on September 4 1994.
That, he says, was a mistake, a misreading of the biblical codes used to decipher the exact date of the ‘rapture’.”

It is amazing how things never change.

In the 1840s, Seventh Day Adventist forerunner William Miller and founder Ellen G. White made similar false prophecies about the date of the end of the world, and there are still millions who follow their false, unbibilical teachings today.

Later, the JWs made similar predictions (for 1914 I believe) and they still have millions of gullible members.

Camping predicted the world would end 17 years ago and he still has gullible followers who ignore the Scriptures and believe him when he resets the dates.

If the Lord tarries, in 100 years, Camping might have millions more followers than he has today.
