To be fair, Protestant scholars are also debunking this latest absurdity from Mr. Camping. There is no Protestant church that will own him.

Actually Mr. Camping proudly does not belong to any church, and teaches his followers not to, either, so please don’t brand him as “Protestant.” He is no more a Protestant than the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are Catholic.

That’s what I said. He’s Protestant in the sense that he’s not Catholic, but he’s not part of a Protestant stream or church and is a self-proclaimed preacher (like Joseph Smith) doing something that has often been done in the US - preaching the end of the world.

I have read many articles and even books about this, but I still don’t know why this “end-times” stuff is so popular in the US.

Harold Camping dates the removal of the Holy Spirit from the churches to the time he was removed from teaching at the last church he was in, 22 years ago.
