Read the Bible Mr. Camping. That’s all you need to do.

Camping has read, and reread, and reread it again many times over.

He sees all kinds of subtle clues for his views hidden throughout the text.

This advice is commonly given, but individuals like Camping are a constant result of this advice.

No, he’s seen what he wants to see. Reading the Bible over and over doesn’t cause mental illness.

It appears Camping could not see the forest for the trees...

“t individuals like Camping are a constant result of this advice. “

I don’t think advising people to read the Bible produces the constant result of people obsessing with numerology. I think that is Camping’s particular problem.

Also a narcissism, a believe that he alone can interpret the thing, which I also don’t think is a constant result of telling people to read their Bible.

Camping doesn’t read the Bible, he reads INTO the Bible. He has a world view and he looks to the Bible for confirmation of it. It’s a bad way to read anything because you’re not getting anything out of it.
