Harold Camping: 1994 and 2011:
"Harold Camping is at it again. He is predicting that an eschatological “end” will take place in 2011.[1] After Edgar Whisenant’s 88 Reason Why the Rapture is in 1988 failed to deliver on its promise to predict the week of Jesus’ return, I thought that date setting had pretty much fallen out of favor with Christians. This is why I only mentioned Harold Camping’s 1994? in Last Days Madness as just another misguided attempt at date setting. Who in his right mind would take Camping seriously? What a miscalculation on my part. Never again will I underestimate the gullibility and ignorance of Christians when it comes to interpreting prophetic issues. Camping sold tens of thousands of copies of 1994? He appeared on “Larry King Live.” A two-day debate was held between Camping and two professors from Westminster Theological Seminary. I even debated Mr. Camping on a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, radio station. The media have given Camping’s view front-page coverage because of his calculated prediction that Jesus will return before October 1, 1994."

Mr. Camping did say 1994, but did end it with a question mark? 1994? And he did not state it for sure, as he does with may 21 20011. This is not his declaration, but the bibles. If anyone has criticism, they need to come with the bible for correction. He did say we have to watch out in that 2011 looks like an important year. So when we quote someone we should be accurate, it is honest to do so.
ReplyDeleteIn CT his billboard ads specifically and unequivicablly stressed that the beginning of the apocolypse was to be May 21, 2011 AND that the Bible says so. There's no qouting out of context, or anything else going on, other than Camping is a false teacher as described in the Bible, period. This should be accepted and acknowledged humbly rather than being "spun" (or lied about) otherwise by those he has so unfortunately deceived.
