The billboard in my area had been up for over a year saying Christ was coming on May 21. They took it down last week.

I saw the movie “Knowing”. I’d give it 3 out of 5 stars. It has a cool plane crash scene.

It was fiction. So is this, especially if they are claiming to be Christian. The Bible explicitly warns against doing exactly what they are doing, and does so in multiple ways and places.

RE: They took it down last week.

Hmmm... why is that? Either their lease was probably up or they’re not as sure of the date as they claim.

It is unschooled, unbibilcal people like this that give Christ, our Lord and Savior, a bad name.

I would not want to be him when he stands before God’s throne.

It is sheer evil to mislead the Lord’s flock.

“...the ad was probably funded by Robert Fitzpatrick – a 60-year-old, retired transit worker from Staten Island who invested his entire life savings of $140,000 into the campaign.”

When it doesn’t come true will he be able to get a refund?

It is sheer evil to mislead the lord’s flock.
_________________________________________

well dont know which lord or which flock you refer to

But the LORD Jesus Christ is the Lord of lords

His flock, the church, cannot be mislead...

so lets see what the LORD Jesus Christ who is God hasd to say...

For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect—IF IOT WERE POSSIBLE ..Matthew 24:24

So He says that it is not possible for Hids flock to be mislead...

Nor will the flock follow strangers

THe LORD Jesus CHrist the Good Shepherd says...

“...The man who enters by the gate is the Shepherd of His sheep. The watchman opens the gate for Him, and the sheep listen to His voice. He calls His own sheep by name and leads them out. When He has brought out all His own, He goes on ahead of them, and His sheep follow Him because they know His voice.

BUT THEY WILL NEVER FOLLOW A STRANGER. IN FACT THEY WILL RUN AWAY FROM HIM BECAUSE THEY DO NOT RECOGNISE A STRANGER’S VOICE.” John 10:2-5

No it is not possible for true followers of the Lord Jesus Christ who is God to be mislead...

Either God is Truth or God is a liar...

OK

The flock that is listening to the false prophecy.

NOW, do you deny that those who are to lead are responsible to NOT mislead their church?

I am mystified that you think that I was saying that Christ is a liar.

Don’t you remember that Christ will tell some “I never knew you, go away?” So, there will be those who CLAIM to follow Christ AND will mislead their flock.

Clearer now?

I think that might have been the JW’s.

There might have been others as well.
Lots of people were thinking that a generation was forty years, and added that to 1948. Israel was declared a nation that day, fulfilling the prophecy that in one day the nation will exist again. It was to be the generation who saw that, and before it passed away, would the Lord return.

It was guess work. Granted, who knows how many people who could be alive today that “saw” that happen? Even the flood of Noah depend on the death of Methushael, who lived longer than Adam.

Its so sad so many lives are disrupted (at least not ruined completely) over such false prophecies.

Even when we see the abomination of desolation as spoken of by Daniel, we’ll know we’re half way through the tribulation but the exact day is still a bit of a question.

It was nice of God to hold the Rapture on a Saturday.

His mistake is nailing down a specific date.

Now he can't run his scam past May 21st!

But there are plenty of others willing to carry on his work...

Why the use of the past tense?

I thought Camping was Reformed. Shouldn’t that mean that he doesn’t believe in the “rapture” at all?
