2 Timothy 3:1-3 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, un-thankful, unholy...Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: FROM SUCH TURN AWAY

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 Let no man deceive you by any means: for THAT DAY SHALL NOT COME, EXCEPT there come a falling away first, AND that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition

If 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 is correct - and it is - then Harold Camping must by logic, be that man of sin, since Camping is the one revealing it. But alas, that line of thinking is ridiculous and false - just as Camping's false teaching - Camping is not that man of sin! But then what is Camping? His false rants are precisely those that follow 2 Timothy 3:1ff, i.e., boasters, proud, blasphemers, Having a form godliness, but denying the power thereof

As it appears that Harold Camping followers are deceived, Biblically speaking, and are "professing" believers that TRULY need to believe in The Christ

Therefore it appears, unfortunately, since Harold Camping followers are deceived and are, Biblically speaking, "professing" un-believers that TRULY need to believe in The Christ, risen from the dead, seated at the right hand of God. If these Harold Camping followers persist to follow Camping, then Christ's Words will ring true:

Matthew 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels…Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into life eternal.

The righteous believe in God and Christ, and do not distort and deceive His WORD, neither in doctrine nor the coming return of Christ. The righteous Christ believing Christians DO NOT FOLLOW DECEIVERS.

You who follow Camping are not true believers, this is evident because the Bible tells us that you are deceived by that false boasting and proud prophet, and blasphemer. God teaches us in His WORD that your so called "christians" can appear saved, knowing all the right words to say, having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: FROM SUCH TURN AWAY. Turn to God in order to be saved:

Romans 3:22-25 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is not difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, throughout the forbearance of God

Believe and be saved!

For the rest of us believers, do not be shaken by such false prophets and deceived workers of iniquity! Pray that the Camping camp will turn to God, and turn away from their sins.

I’d be delighted if Camping turned out to be correct.

You have your Bible............Camping has his. He reads it and understands it his way.........you read it and understand it in a different way. Both professing sola scriptura. You can both sit here all day, quoting Scripture to each other and arguing about who is right and who is wrong and jolly good luck to the both of you.

The joys of private interpretation and the sola scriptura mentality.

At least MY GOD, MY CHRIST, MY SAVIOR has NOT added to the words to the book of Revelation by saying that Mary is represented in Revelation 12. The women in Rev 12 being with child IS ISRAEL, because Israel has the genealogy of Messiah, not the Catholics.

Rev 12+Mary is a private interpretation by a group of like minded interpreters...

Rev 22:18-19 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that re written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out the the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

For in that HE died, HE died unto sin ONCE: but in that HE liveth, HE liveth unto God. Romans 6:10

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23

So you have to rely on popes and councils to discern false prophets like Camping? That’s absurd.

"So you have to rely on popes and councils to discern false prophets like Camping? That’s absurd."

What's absurd is believing that you alone are the sole and best interpreter of Scripture. Camping is no doubt sincere in his beliefs but no more wrong than any of the YOPIS crowd.

Equally absurd is the position perpetuated by the anti-Catholics that the Magesterium of the Church has no valid role as a resource to Catholics in their interpretation of Scripture but the Rev. Bill-Bob Rolex with a Doctor of Divinity degree from the East Podunk Christian School of Theology and Diesel Maintenance is as credible as the Burning Bush.

Catholics cannot discern any correct doctrine without their Popes and councils - yes, that’s absurd!

"Catholics cannot discern any correct doctrine without their Popes and councils - yes, that’s absurd!"

But nowhere near as absurd as those who attempt to do it without any counsel. That is like choosing to diagnose and treat cancer and heart disease without a doctor or attempting to repair and fly a jumbo jet without any outside guidance. Like those who choose to be their own lawyers those who choose to be their own Magisterium have fools for clients.

The Magisterium are Catholics so your contention is, at face value, absurd.

I have wondered what is wrong with this poor soul that obviously has read the bible and yet has missed or chosen to ignore the part that tells us precisely what he has said, is so false.

Our bible has always fascinated me in how it tells us also that our Lord comes “when we think not.” So, if we think He can’t come tomorrow because someone predicted that He would, He actually could?

It’s great to have the return of Jesus given any publicity at all, ya know? Yet I hope and pray no one is such a messed-up, manic mess that this does harm to them, and yet they will have to take responsibility for being so messed-up, I do believe.

In light of this Camping publicity stunt or whatever it is, here is a youtube to a song that is so very apropos, by Waylon Jennings from the seventies, called “Revelation.”

(PS, totally off-subject is my nickname I use here. It could be worse but it’s so very off-target for me, now. I went to my profile and don’t see how to change our names here, yet we can change our email addies, etc. Anyone know how I can do this? I registered with it ten years ago. It had been my old CB handle from the seventies and I only used it when registering long ago because other names were all taken. LOL at myself, thanks and yeah, I just talk too much sometimes.)

What needs to be said is these Sola Scriptura types, with their dispensationalist mumbo dumbo jumbo, have treated the bible as a supernatural hero code book conjuring up cataclysmic prognostications.

The rapture types know they will die so they predict the death of the world instead . It is a sick kind of twist in the human heart and imagination to use the bible for selfish purposes. But then that is what C I Schofield was all about.

Jesus made it clear that we are to recognize the signs of the times that the end is near and He specifically told us to watch, but He also made it VERY CLEAR that no one is going to know more specifically than the general time frame.

Right here He discredits all those who claim to know the date. By Jesus' own words, you can know they're lying and false prophets because He said NOBODY would know the day or hour. Harold Camping is no exception.

Matthew 24:3-44

3As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the close of the age?" 4And Jesus answered them, "See that no one leads you astray. 5For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and they will lead many astray. 6And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. 7For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8All these are but the beginning of the birth pains.

9"Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. 10And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. 11And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. 12And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 14And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

15"So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place ( let the reader understand), 16then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let the one who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house, 18and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak. 19And alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! 20Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath. 21For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. 22And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short. 23 Then if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or 'There he is!' do not believe it. 24For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. 25See, I have told you beforehand. 26So, if they say to you, 'Look, he is in the wilderness,' do not go out. If they say, 'Look, he is in the inner rooms,' do not believe it. 27 For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28 Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.

29"Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

32"From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near. 33So also, when you see all these things, you know that he is near, at the very gates. 34 Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

36"But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. 37 For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, 39and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 40Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one left. 42Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. 43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. 44Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
