MR. HAROLD CAMPING GOT IT WRONG--"NO ONE KNOWS THE HOUR"

 
MR. HAROLD CAMPING GOT IT WRONG--"NO ONE KNOWS THE HOUR"

Harold Camping is dead wrong with his May 21 day of judgment campaign. He is a heretic that should not be taken seriously. He has given a false prediction before and he will be proven wrong this time also. He is a man who has a craving for cheap publicity. His biblical exegesis and interpretive method is questionable. One wonders why anyone in his or her right mind would adhere to his teachings. His May 21 prediction for the Day of Judgment is based on shallow Bible study and faulty exegetical idea. Here is what the Bible Says, which is not consonant with Mr. Camping's teachings: (Mat 24:36-37 NIV) "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. {37} As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.

Mr. Camping should be aware that the Bible frowns at people like him, who teaches other doctrines that are not in line with sound doctrine. Apostle Paul Writes the following to the Galatians and it is relevant in this case as well.
(Gal 1:6-9 NIV)  I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel-- {7} which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. {8} But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! {9} As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!

Let us wait and see how Mr. Camping will defend his theological assumptions, when he is proven wrong on May 22. The Bible says:
(Deu 18:22 NIV)  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. Do not be afraid of him.

(Jer 23:34 NIV)  If a prophet or a priest or anyone else claims, 'This is the oracle of the LORD,' I will punish that man and his household.

After it is all said and done, I think we should all pray for Mr. Harold Camping. And on a more serious note, it is probable that he would benefit from a consultation with a psychiatrist.
