Please don't scoff. If Camping is a false prophet, it will become manifest soon. However, Lot's sons scoffed. The people in Noah's day scoffed. Nowhere does the Bible commend scoffers.
I will continue to work my earthly plans which King Jesus can interrupt at any time as the Father has appointed.
I do think that Christians are all too often very quick to condemn their own, forgetting who the real enemy is. And, the mocking by Lot's sons and the people of Noah's time are cases of the world mocking the people of God, and there's a lot of that going on (we have enough real enemies without shooting ourselves in the foot, or elsewhere, when one of our own - at least to the world - makes a mockery of God Himself).
On the other hand, although it's not necesarily "commended," Elijah did mock the false prophets of Baal.
Cnn actually did a nice job posting the money behind this guy, however, way up in double digit millions, at least some of which has, OH MY, disappeared along with Camping apparently....no one can find him today and hmm, all that money was sent to him.
I do think Christ would condone the pointing out that people were harmed and ripped off by this man. There are some studies showing high suicide rates for those who have been sucked into apocalypse plans such as this one.
False prophets indeed, and false prophets who wrecked the lives of others who bought into them, and who made big money in the process. NOTHING Christ-like about this behavior. Scoffing is the least of my feelings toward Camping. Loathing is more appropriate.
“I will continue to work my earthly plans which King Jesus can interrupt at any time as the Father has appointed.”
But we also know that God is Just, and it would be very unjust to end the world on a false prophet’s schedule.
That doesn’t mean Sunday wouldn’t work just fine, though. As I’ve said, I’m not ready, but I’m not so unready that I wouldn’t welcome his return.
