Harold Camping Should Publicly Repent, Says Southern Baptist Leader

[I still care]

Family Radio is really a very traditional evangelical station. It always had nice music and I enjoyed it.

When Camping started this nonsense many years ago I seem to remember many at the station being quite upset with it. It must be really hard working there knowing the boss is going nuts.

Another Camping follower, 27-year-old Adrienne Martinez, was planning to go to medical school but decided not to after listening to Family Radio.

I, for one, am glad that Camping "saved" me from the chance of being seen by "Dr. Martinez".

I suspect Camping is already pouring over his calculations to find out what went wrong. I feel sorry for his devoted followers who never wavered in their belief that May 22 would not exist for them. The few that I listened to wouldn't budge and inch on the "What if" question. All things work together for the good for those who love the Lord. That can include getting caught up in goofy eschatology, providing they learn from their disappointment. I pray for the people who have had their faith damaged by Camping's latest fiasco.

Everyone knew he was a false prophet in 1994 when his first doomsday prediction did not come true.

They should have known before that because anyone who sets a date and time automatically is a false prophet, nobody knows the day or the hour except God the Father.

He was a false prophet as soon as he uttered his 1994 prediction.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Bad things are in store for false prophets.

"I'm convinced that the Lord is coming for His Church before the end of 1981." (Chuck Smith, Future Survival)

Did Mr. Calvary Chapel ever publicly repent?

Proverbs 16:18.

It doesn’t take a lot of courage to wait around until after the Rapture didn’t happen, and then attack Camping. Maybe he should have spoken out earlier.

Futurist rapturenauts aren’t concerned about the basic content of the message. They don’t like it cuz it cuts into their own scam.

I don’t follow Chuck Smith so I don’t know.

However from that statement you posted, I did not get the impression that he believes it was 100% a SURE THING like Harold Camping’s conviction. Also, Chuck Smith did not go around the world advertising and warning loudly through his radio broadcasts what he said he was personally convinced of.

[Cicero]

Thanks for that information. I’m sure there have been many who have called on Camping to cease his false prophecies.

The problem, of course, is that the MSM has no interest in reporting on them. But they are happy to report on Camping, as a joke, a mockery, and an attack on the foolishness of “Christians.”
