Is May 21, 2011 the Day? (Christ vs Camping)

"'But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.'" (Matthew 24:36)

Pack your bags. Cash it in. Liquidate. It's over. Done. The fat lady (not politically correct?) ~ the "obese" / weight-challenged lady is singing. At least that's what some people would have us believe.

On the twenty-first of the fifth month, in the year of our Lord twenty-eleven (just 16 days from the writing of this post), Jesus will return to receive His Church. (To read "End of Days in May? Believers enter final stretch," click here.)

And let me just say, "What is it about our Lord's statement, 'No one knows the day and hour,'" that Harold Camping doesn't understand? Yet again, he's behind this pinpointing the date thing. It's not the first time. He also did it in 1994.

Sooooo ... let me just ask a really silly question: Then why is Camping still here?

Well, the reason why is because Christ did not return in 1994. (Duh.) Camping was wrong. An article on the web indicates he would (will) not repent of his quote "mistake in interpretation."

And so here he is in 2011 doing it again.

If Camping were a hermit on an island, that would be one thing. But he's got the ear of thousands who buy into his foolishness. It's what "pride" does to a person who removes himself from Christ's Church (which Camping has done). They go "crazy" in their understanding.

Many of Camping's teachings are destructive. Thus, his words must be turned from and his date setting must be dismissed.

The Lord will indeed return. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18) But everyone will be surprised. Including false teachers.
