Stetzer ought to join Camping in repenting. In Stetzer’s case it ought to be for smuggling “Emergent Church” theology into the SBC.

[Cicero]

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.

[FlingWingFlyer]

If I was Camping, I’d tell them that I’ll apologize after Algore apologizes first. The only difference between the two is that Algore makes a hell of a lot more money with his “end of the world” fearmongering.

[Revolting cat!]

He’s gotta repent, says this Revvie, because I have my own perdiction!

[arderkrag]

Someone needs to do some digging and see if Cult Leader Harold Camping is a Democrat like Cult Leader Fred Phelps. If so, it would be proof that he did this to undermine the true Church.

[boatbums]

That $100 million sure could have fed a lot of hungry people but it was spent on advertising the ravings of a false prophet who had proven his false prophet status more than a few times. If there is any money left in that organization, it should be disbursed to all those that fell prey to his self-styled personal revelation APART from what Scripture clearly says. He at least owes them something. Hopefully, he now goes into retirement never to be heard from again.

[Misterioso]

Why would anyone want an apology from a lunatic?

Harold Camping Should Publicly Repent, Says Southern Baptist Leader

He should have been loudly calling for this from the first moment Camping opened his mouth. Jesus said no man knows the day or hour, not even Jesus himself. Harold Camping says he knows the day and the hour. Hmmm, do we even have to wait until that day and hour pass to call him out?

[Jonty30]

Esther said some of her co-workers who believe in Camping’s prediction had bought expensive cars

---

So, one of the final acts of some were to essentially steal from their fellow man?

If the Rapture had happened, somebody would have had some explaining to do.

[SERKIT]

Repent because he got the date wrong, wrong in the fact that “like a thief in the night” rarely has a published schedule, or wrong by being ingrained is such hubris that he knows more than God himself?

[Moorings]

Only the Father knows the day and the hour. Anybody who claims to know when this is going to happen, is misleading folks.

[April Lexington]

Maybe we are just in overtime!

[Salvation]

Is everyone still here? Well, what do you know! We all could have told you that!

[Salvation]

I am currently reading this book. A much different story than Camping's

BTW, this book was written in 1881; you wouldn't believe how accurate it is!

 

Reading this book was one of the greatest graces of my life!"
— St. Thérèse of Lisieux

In the late nineteenth century, Father Charles Arminjon, a priest from the mountains of southeastern France, assembled his flock in the town cathedral to preach a series of conferences to help them turn their thoughts away from this life’s mean material affairs—and toward the next life’s glorious spiritual reward. His wise and uncompromising words deepened in them the spirit of recollection that all Christians must have: the abiding conviction that heavenly aims, not temporal enthusiasms, must guide everything we think, say, and do.

When Father Arminjon’s conferences were later published in a book, many others were able to reap the same benefit—including fourteen-year-old Thérèse Martin, then on the cusp of entering the Carmelite convent in Lisieux. Reading it, she says, “plunged my soul into a happiness not of this earth.” Young Thérèse, filled with a sense of “what God reserves for those who love him, and seeing that the eternal rewards had no proportion to the light sacrifices of life,” copied out numerous passages and memorized them, “repeating unceasingly the words of love burning in my heart.”

Now the very book that so inspired the Little Flower is available for the first time in English.

Let the pages of The End of the Present World and the Mysteries of the Future Life fill you with the same burning words of love, with the same ardent desire to know God above all created things, that St. Thérèse gained from them. Let them also enrich your understanding of certain teachings of the Faith that can often seem so mysterious, even frightening:

• The signs that will precede the world’s end
• The coming of the Antichrist, and how to recognize him
• The Judgment and where it may send us: heaven, hell, and purgatory
• Biblical end-times prophecy: how to read it and not be deceived

  Jesus commands us to be ever-watchful for his return, and ever-mindful that we have no lasting city on earth. The End of the Present World and the Mysteries of the Future Life is an invaluable aid to inculcating in your spirit that heavenly orientation, without which true human happiness cannot be found—in this world or the next.

[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.

[TankerKC]

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".

[pallis]

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.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Bad things are in store for false prophets.

Did Mr. Calvary Chapel ever publicly repent?
