Hello,

I guess this Mr. Camping things he knows more the Jesus himself.

Notice the words of the bible book of Mark 13: 32-37:
32 “Concerning that day or the hour nobody knows, neither the angels in heaven nor the Son, but the Father. 33 Keep looking, keep awake, for YOU do not know when the appointed time is. 34 It is like a man traveling abroad that left his house and gave the authority to his slaves, to each one his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to keep on the watch. 35 Therefore keep on the watch, for YOU do not know when the master of the house is coming, whether late in the day or at midnight or at cockcrowing or early in the morning; 36 in order that when he arrives suddenly, he does not find YOU sleeping. 37 But what I say to YOU I say to all, Keep on the watch.”

Jesus told his disciples to keep on the watch because he being the master, doesn't even know. Also in 2 Peter 3:10 we are told: “10But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.'

Does a thief tell the home owner when they will rob them? Of course no, also God's timetable is different then ours. 2 Peter 3:8 8But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” Why would God, let us know and not his son Jesus? God doesn't want Hypocrites to serve him for a time, day or hour. They do what they want to and a few months, days or hours because the don't want to suffer, would all of sudden turn to him. If we live our life each day with love for God and mankind, we would not need to know a time.

Peace to all and tomorrow will come,
Hope12

Mr, Camping does what all denominations do - pick what's important in the bible. This isn't news.

No, I don't think denominations pick so much as interpret the same passages differently.

Camping did even more than that -- he read stuff into it that wasn't there.

Wow, heaven is really great, we even have internet and room service, ( no wait, I am just traveling at the Hilton today)
Oh well, guess that voice in the elevator was not god after all.

Iceland's Meteorological Office confirmed that an eruption had begun at the Grimsvotn volcano, accompanied by a series of small earthquakes.

But you're already at the Final Destination. You've been worthy all your life and didn't realize it.

I was scuba diving when the time hit here. Either I'm not one of the elect, or God can't grab people from underwater.

Good thing the small print offers no returns ;)

Oh yeah morning all, I guess I'll be cooking some crow later on..

World doesn't end: California prophet had no Plan B

Harold Camping spent millions of dollars telling the nations it was the end of days; now his followers may need counselling

Alty · May 22, 2011, 12:14 AM

According to that article Camping received and spent $100 million on his campaign proclaiming the end of the world. Wow. People actually gave this guy $100 million!

Maybe those people that send spam asking you to help them take $10 million out of their country and they'll split it with you, just send $250, aren't so out of their minds. It seems that there are plenty of people that will fall for it.

100 million??

The world is ending August 12th 2011, send me your money

ScottGem · May 22, 2011, 07:20 AM

First to Depressed,
I hope you feel better now!

Second to HeadStrongBoy,
So, are you going to man up and admit that all your (or Camping's) scripture quotes and math were, at best the delusions of a fool and at worst, a scam to get money from his followers?

World doesn't end: California prophet had no Plan B

This brings up an interesting point. I wonder if all those fools who gave Camping money or spent money based on his prediction can mount a class action suit against him. The man has a net worth in 9 figures!
