Amen.
With that, I agree wholeheartedly!

IF tomorrow, the 21st, were the Rapture, that would be fine with me (especially since today, May 20th, my wife and I are celebrating the long-anticipated 50th anniversary of our Christian marriage!) :-)
However, I accept no man's authority to place arbitrary and inflexible interpretations on the "meanings" of "numeric values" within Scripture -- particularly whimsical ones like the decimal [Arabic] fraction mis-applied by Camping to force the number 5 to have a particular significance. That is nothing but pure, personal, sinful vanity!!
And I abhor the audacity of anyone who would insist that they have special insight to place authoritative interpretations on such vanities!
God's Word is exactly that; His WORD (not His number[s]).

"I guess Camping's interpretation is as good as any other in its situation at a statistical spike in the probability domain."
"as good as" = "as bad as" = WORTHLESS (if not actually evil and sinful hubris...)
Thank you brother.

My most heartfelt congratulations to you both! 50 years!!!
I am not expecting to be raptured tomorrow.
Maranatha, Jesus!!!
Thanks!
