"It's best, though, to try to be ready in season and out of season, and to live every day as though it were our last. "

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...)

today, May 20th, my wife and I are celebrating the long-anticipated 50th anniversary of our Christian marriage!

My most heartfelt congratulations to you both! 50 years!!!

Thank you so much for sharing your insights, dear brother in Christ, and congratulations on your 50^th anniversary!

I am not expecting to be raptured tomorrow.

Maranatha, Jesus!!!
