Naturally, he’s going to give all the money back to his followers, right?

What part of disgrace and derision doesn't the evangelical sola types know?

The usual suspects on this board are on the warpath and I have tried to sooth their feelings but some serve only to rile these spiritually bankrupt up into a state of religious ecstasy. How shame full

While it was foolish to believe that a man could have known when the Rapture would occur, it is sickening to see the absolute glee which many people are displaying toward the misfortune of the people who put their faith in this man and then spent their life savings. There are people who will totally turn away from Christianity now because their belief in this man was unfounded, and will now be led astray.

I am trying to understand how one considers it being a really hard weekend because the world did not end.

When it's between the word of man and the Word of the Lord, best to take God's Word EVERY TIME. Hey, people are fallible. Camping has his issues just like everyone and God will lovingly but unflinchingly deal with Him just like He does with all of us. (None of us have any room to judge others (Rom 2:1).)

One take-away from this: watch and be ready , for no man, no angel, and not even Jesus, knows the day or the hour, only the Father. Mark 13:32

I am interested to know the suicide statistics of his ‘believers’.

How much blood does he have on his hands or will he have over the next few months.

Some of these people quit their jobs, spent their retirement, alienated friends and family. They have nothing left but a cardboard box in an ally way.

We’ll see...

It would do well for Mr. Camping to reflect on Matthew 18:6:

"But whoso shall cause one of these little ones that believe on me to stumble, it is profitable for him that a great millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depth of the sea."

Should be a lesson about anyone who uses numerology and biblomancy in their divination. How could Biblical information be derived from anti-Biblical means?

Deuteronomy 18:20-22

20 But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, is to be put to death.”

21 You may say to yourselves, “How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the Lord?” 22 If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true, that is a message the Lord has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously, so do not be alarmed.

You would think that his followers would have followed Deuteronomy 18:22 after the last time he predicted the end of the world.

As these people were cultists, placing their faith in a different gospel, a different Jesus, and different grace, they weren’t Christians to begin with. They are no better and no worse off than unbelievers, except they should now see the truth more clearly than most. Probably a remnant will.

It has been a really tough weekend," said Harold Camping, the 89-year-old fundamentalist radio preacher who convinced hundreds of his followers that the rapture would occur on Saturday at 6 p.m.

Mister Camping, it is time for you to go HUMBLY BEFORE THE LORD and beg for forgiveness for thinking you knew more than Jesus. According to the Bible, not even Jesus knows the time for Judgement Day.
