Harold Camping: End of the World!

this guy is older than moses and should retire, cant even understand what he is talking about

Camping needs to preach salvation and shut up about what day the Lord will return.

But thank you for calling and sharing.

H. Camping sounds too much like Barney Frank for me to take seriously.
Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me..............

I have been listening to Camping for some years now. I have always been interested in sects spawned by the "Reformation." In America there is a long history of people predicting the time of the End. Harold is 88 and is out on a limb. He will be almost 90, God willing, on May 21, 2011. He may be called before then. I may be called before then. But I must say I shall certainly want to tune into Open Forum if we are both alive on May 21, 2011. Of course the Lord will return at the time decreed from Eternity. So, if the Lord doesn't return before May 21, 2011, or doesn't return on May 21, 2011, and I and Harold are both compos mentis, I look forward to hearing Harold's comments, if any, on May 22, 2011, if God allows. Personally I have no doubt that Harold's teaching is not from God at all. Those he has led astray and those who have allowed themselves to be led astray by his teachings have a heavy burden to come out from these heresies that Harold propagates. All those poor souls who work on Family Radio, have they bought these terrible teachings? Harold's most recent distortion of the time and nature of the Atonement begars the imagination! This distortion of Scripture is one more in the long train of such distortions born of the false doctrine of 'sola scriptura.' Peace and God's light to all who seek Him.

May 21,2011....He could not give a rational answer. I mean think about it.....If I KNEW the day of the end I'd like to go out at my post! His answer betrayed a lack of common sense. No parables....no scripture to twist....just a simple question. Be aware that if U do call in it is almost impos to have a dialogue. He simply hangs up giving the appearance of a real open forum....its a lie...lately the engineer even forgets to turn off the phone line.....all U hear is the operator......"if u'd like to make a call hang up and dial the number." I shall retire to bedlam.....Tiberias7

Sorry my first part was not posted.....Listening since 1970.....erosion of sanity.....I asked recently if He would be on the air the last week...

Fools base their thoughts on foolish assumptions,
so their conclusions will be wicked madness;
they chatter on and on.No one really knows what is going to happen;
no one can predict the future.
Eccl 10:13-14
“O people of Israel, these prophets of yours are like jackals digging in the ruins. They have done nothing to repair the breaks in the walls around the nation. They have not helped it to stand firm in battle on the day of the Lord. Instead, they have told lies and made false predictions. They say, ‘This message is from the Lord,’ even though the Lord never sent them. And yet they expect him to fulfill their prophecies! Can your visions be anything but false if you claim, ‘This message is from the Lord,’ when I have not even spoken to you? Eze 13:4-7

The Danger of Date Setting
There are several detrimental consequences to setting a date for the rapture. Among them are,it Turns Believers From Faith to Sight Instead of living a life pleasing to God because of what He has done for them and because of faith in the truth of the Scriptures, date-setting leads people to trust in viable signs. There would be little living by faith. Also, if the rapture is not going to meet the Lord until a certain date in the future, there is little incentive to "get right" until that time gets close.
It Turns From Hope to Disappointment
The failures of the Date-Setters causes some to become doubtful and disappointed. They were built up for a huge event and then become dejected when it fails to come to pass.
It Causes God's Word to Be Mocked And Ridiculed
Unbelievers have a field day reminding believers of the failure of their "prophecy." They mock and ridicule both the believers and their Bible.

i thought the danger was in believing the rapture at all. since it's not in the bible.

The resurrection is mentioned many times....rapture is not in the bible. Theories abound but faith is Christ is all that really matters.

Christ is coming in 2011. There's too much evidence in the world of what's going on with corruption. Gay this, gay that, immorality, same sex marriage, we've al been desensitised slowly. The whole world is gone to absolute immorality. Christ is coming in 2011, whether it be May 21, 2011 or September 29, 2011 (Feast of Trumpets) or finally October 21, 2011, I can't believe this world could go on further anyway. This world is become a pig pen! Yuck, Yuck, Yuck

evidence? where does jesus say observe the evidence and predict the date i am coming back. have fun with your superstition. i will follow christ.

It's not a superstition, just as much as king Herod inquired of the wise men (learned of the scriptures) of when the christ should be born. They knew directly from the scriptures that christ should arrive in their day, read matt chapter 1. Also Daniel understood "by books" or the scriptures, the things which should and have expired. we are living in a parallel time.
In your question of observing the evidence, christ say's to "watch" and "take heed", and "when ye see these things come to pass, know that your redemption draweth nigh". Ezekiel 33, we are to be the watchmen.

My friend, the account of the Magi is in Matt. Ch 2, not Ch 1. The "wise men" who were probably astrologers, had more than Scripture to guide them: they were following "his star" which led them to the infant Savior Jesus. Whatever the star was - a rare conjunction of Jupiter and Regulus or Saturn, or a comet or a cluster of angels – the Magi had unique PHYSICAL evidence in the sky to guide them. They did not and could not rely solely on arcane or allegorical interpretation of an ancient prophecy to guide them 540 miles across desert from Babylon or wherever they lived. And this is the problem with Camping: instead of sticking to the facts, he uses imagination and allegory to interpret the Scriptures so you can’t tell what Scripture means for and by itself. It's all in his mind and he can't be disproved until the dates he picks are wrong. He was wrong in 1994 but he just waved it off and said he made a mistake. No apology to anyone when flat wrong like Charles Taze Russell of the Jehovah Witnesses (who used Scripture to predict that the Lord would return in 1878, then 1904 - no sorry 1914… umm, then later dates which have all passed!) And do you defend Camping's assertion that we are to stop celebrating the Lord's Supper without directly contradicting Scripture? The Church is to celebrate the Lord’s Supper as a proclamation of the Lord’s death “until He comes” (1 Cor. 11:26). Open your eyes friend, read the Scriptures by yourself. You don't need HC to interpret. The Holy Spirit is a gentleman. He will guide you and help you see the
light (beware: HC says that the Holy Spirit is no longer operating today so HC can feed you more of his heretical interpretations.)

i think a monkey just flew out of my butt. does that count as a sign?

Hoax, hoax, hoax.
Camping already made mistakes about the past predictions, why we should even bother listening to him anyway?
To all campingites: if you truly believe that the world will end in 2011, PLEASE GIVE ALL YOUR BELONGING TO ME. You wouldn't need it in the "future" world where you will live (as to your believe)

be like the people of noah on those days they didn't listen to him and only 8 people were saved and the lord let them know that the earth will be destroyed in 40 days
the lord all the time let people know when he will destroy cities as this world as well

1ra. to the Thessalonians

Chapter 05

5:1 But concerning the times and the times, you need not, brethren, that I will write.
5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night;
5:3 that if they say: Peace and security, then sudden destruction will come upon them, as the pain a woman pregnant, and not escape.
5:4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day you as a thief.
5:5 Because you are all sons of light and sons of the day, we are not of night nor of darkness.
5:6 Therefore, do not sleep as others, but let us be sure and sober.
5:7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and that gets drunk, gets drunk at night.
5:8 But we, we are of the day, we are sober, having dressed in the breastplate of faith and love, and with the hope of salvation as a helmet


Jonas

Chapter 03

3:1 came word of the Lord to Jonah a second time, saying:
3:2 Arise, and go to Nineveh, that great city, and proclaimed it the message that I will tell you.
3:3 And Jonah got up and went to Nineveh according to the words of the Lord. And it was big city in Nineveh, of three days away.
3:4 And Jonah began to enter the city, heading for a day, and preached, saying: This forty days Nineveh will be destroyed.
3:5 And the men of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed fasting and wearing sackcloth from the greatest to the smallest of them.
3:6 And the news came to the king of Nineveh, and rose from his chair, was stripped of his clothing and was covered in sackcloth and sat on ashes.
3:7 And he made the proclamation in Nineveh and proclaim to the order of the king and his great, saying, Men and animals, cattle and sheep, not like anything, they were not given food or drink water;
3:8 but cúbranse men and animals in sackcloth, and cry out to God strongly, and makes each of his evil way, the prey is in your hands.
3:9 Who knows if God will return and repent, and away from the heat of their anger, and not die?
3:10 And God saw what they did, who became his evil way and repented of the evil they had said they would, but did not.


Genesis

Chapter 7

7:1 The LORD then said to Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark, because you've seen just in front of me in this generation.
7:2 Of every clean animal take seven pairs, male and female, most of the animals that are not clean, a couple, the male and female.
7:3 Also the birds of heaven, seven pairs, male and female, to keep the species alive on earth.
7:4 For yet seven days past, I will rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights, and the fray on the face of the earth every living thing I did.
E 7:5 Noah did according to all that the Lord commanded him.
7:6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came upon the earth.
7:7 And because of the flood waters of Noah entered the ark, and his sons with him, his wife, and women of their children.
7:8 Of clean animals, and animals that were not clean and birds and everything that creeps on the earth,
7:9 came two by two with Noah into the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noah.
7:10 And it came to the seventh day the flood waters came on the earth.
7:11 The six years of the life of Noah, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, that day was broken all the sources of the great abyss, and cataracts of heaven were opened,
7:12 and there was rain on the earth forty days and forty nights.
At 7:13 that same day entered Noah, and Shem, Cam and Jafet sons of Noah, Noah's wife, three women and their children with him in the chest;
7:14 They, and all the wild animals according to their species, all domesticated animals according to their species, and every reptile that creeps on the earth according to its kind and every bird according to its kind and every bird of every kind.
7:15 came, then, to the ark with Noah, two by two of all flesh that had the spirit of life.
7:16 And they came, male and female of all flesh came, as God had commanded him, and he closed the door the Lord.
7:17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth and the waters rose and lifted the ark, and was raised on the land.
7:18 And the waters rose and increased greatly upon the earth and the ark floated on the surface of the water.
7:19 And the waters rose far above the earth, and all had high mountains under the whole heaven were covered.
7:20 Fifteen cubits high waters rose, after the mountains were covered.
7:21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, and birds such as cattle and beasts and every reptile that creeps on the earth, and every man.
7:22 All I had breath of spirit of life into his nostrils, everything we had on earth, died.
7:23 Thus was destroyed all be living on earth, from man to beast, reptiles, and birds of the heaven and the earth were frayed and it was only Noah and those with him were in the ark.
7:24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth hundred fifty days.

if u don't want to believe and be like them this is your problem we are telling you the rest it is your task.

i am impressed that campingites keep finding this post! see you in 2012.

We listen to Family Radio via AM and Short Wave broadcasts every everning in South Africa.

To God be the Glory for making it possible for us to listen to the True Endtime Gospel message as it is written in the Bible.

(Rom 16:24) The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

(Rom 16:25) Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,

(Rom 16:26) But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:

(Rom 16:27) To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen. <Written to the Romans from Corinthus, and sent by Phebe servant of the church at Cenchrea.>

Family Radio listener (Suid Afrika)

thanks for pasting Paul's salutation in Romans. Also read the ends of Galatians, both letters to Corinth, and both letters to Thessaloniae for similar language.

What a lovely message. Burning, begging for god who will not be found. Whether it is 2011 or any other time, people who believe this nonsense are horrible people indeed, as are you all who take these horrible stories literally and try to impose them on others! Now tell me: when this does not come to pass, what will you do? Will you be willing to concede that your religion, indeed, all religion is just made up of traditions, stories,teachings, and myths made by people? Will you read books, and educate yourself? Will you seek evidence, proof, and reason? Or will you keep being a horrible person, and a liar, and find another way to reinterpret and justify your beliefs? Grow up people!

If God does not come on May 21 2011 I will personally come on here to apologize to all but there is not going to be any apologies to be made and no reason for my to start doubting myself and most important the word of God!

After about 35 years of having known that the end of the world would be on May 21 2011 there is no way to start thinking is not gonna happen!

Why do you close your eyes and ears to the truth. Because you have no faith and no insight into Gods word.

seriously. start apologizing now. does jesus in the bible not say no one knows the day or the time? stop it.
