Haven't heard of it until now. The Bible tells us that only the Father knows when Christ will return. Diana L |

Yes, in Maryland I saw at least half a dozen bumper stickers that read '5-21-11 is Judgement Day', lol! Now I can see how the 'Early Adventist' must have looked back in 1844. crazy;( |

A fellow just called me about this, this morning, he asked if the guy was lying, I said, “Well what does the bible say?” He says,”it says no man knows the day nor the hour.” I say, “Well, there ya go then.” I say, “Does God lie? He says, “No.” I say, “Well there ya go then.” I say, “Well who is lying then?” He says, “The man is.” I say, “Well, there ya go then.” River |

"Now I can see how the 'Early Adventist' must have looked back in 1844. crazy;(" Cortney, I thought the same thing. I sent an email to my SDA friend with the link to the website. I'm hoping he will see the same thing. Good stuff River! I think stuff like this is the kind of things we need to be ready to answer. |

I got news for you Cortney, the late Adventists look crazy in 2010, for anybody who cares to take a look under the hood. There ain't no engine or transmission under that hood, it ain't even a peddle car. Its a total delusion. If you blew on it, it would fall over and croak. Its like my fake website there, when you click on Adventism, nothing comes up. River |

I had the privilege of talking to a lady yesterday when I was at the printers to look over the proofs for my new book cover. The lady was standing beside me waiting at the counter, she says, "Do you know whether or not you will go to heaven?" I say,"Yeah, I know." She says, "Are your sure?" I say, "Lady, I settled that 38 years ago." She say, "Here, read this pamphlet!" By this time I am getting a little irked, since I need to look at the proofs closely, but I say, "I will read it later for sure." She,"She says, whats that?" Pointing at the book cover proofs which are quite small. I tell her, then she makes me promise, double promise, and triple promise to bring her a copy to her place of business. Then she says, "I just found out a month ago that I can go to heaven." I later looked at the pamphlet, and it was benign, that is to say it contained a simple gospel message. I had just run into a brand new Christian who was full of joy to find she too could go to heaven. She was a little pushy, but then I remember I went straight to my BIl and made darn sure he knew that he could too, go to heaven. I guess I was pretty pushy myself back then. My Bil passed away last year, and I never ceased praying for him, he told me he was ok with God, one day I will see him again. Maybe all because I was pretty pushy back then. Who knows what will come in a day? I don't even know what Gods got the next five minutes, much less 2012. River |

Isn't Harold Camping the guy who predicted Christ's coming in the 80's and the 90's, too? Even wrote books on the subject, I believe. |

He advocates dumping church going for all, and doing personal Bible study, and of course listening to his broadcast, according to wikipedia. Well surprise, surprise, surprise Gomer! What if I want to go to church and have personal Bible study too, I mean like, Both? So, he teaches annihilationism, no church attendance, date setting, etc. Well I'll be! Surprise, surprise surPRISE! River |

Teaches that the whole Bible is the word of God, but that it is allegorical. Claims that people who are accepting Christ as Savior in the Church are really not saved, does that sound familiar kiddies? A reviewer for his book wrote: I've purchased 10 copies and kept one for my family and have given the others as is fitting a true Christian. I've asked these others to read it, take notes, and pass it along to others who can not otherwise afford even this low priced gem. Let me ask you Mr. Reviewer please? If giving the books away is fitting as a true Christian, how come I got to pay Harold Camping 10.75 cent a piece? I give my books, and even pay the shipping! By cracky, looky what a true Christian I am? Woopie doo! People are so gullible! River |

On Sept. 6, 1994, dozens of Camping’s believers gathered inside Alameda’s Veterans Memorial Building to await the return of Christ, an event Camping had promised for two years. Followers dressed children in their Sunday best and held Bibles open-faced toward heaven.

And meanwhile, folks who simply LIVE the Gospel, quietly and sincerely loving Jesus and caring for and about others, sharing what they have and not whining about the fancy car they don't have, who radiate joy in their salvation and prefer Bible study to watching porn movies, who honor the Golden Rule and deplore the principles of "Looking Out for Number One," who teach Biblical Creationism and reject mud-to-microbes-to-monkeys-to-me evolution, who are eagerly waiting for Jesus to return, who try to teach these things to a lost world --these are called "crackpots," "fanatics," "nutcases" or worse, and classified with people who believe and fear that little green space aliens are about to take over! |

"On Sept. 6, 1994, dozens of Camping’s believers gathered inside Alameda’s Veterans Memorial Building to await the return of Christ, an event Camping had promised for two years. Followers dressed children in their Sunday best and held Bibles open-faced toward heaven." I guess that didnt make the news...(no surprise there) or maybe just the "local" news in the Bay Area.I never heard it.. only thing I know about Alameda is they have a really great Flea Market on the first Sunday of each month and my Mom (98) was a certified welder there (before I was born)in the 40's during wartime. I wonder how long they waited till they finally gve up and went home ?? But... thankfully there were just "dozens" and not thousands waiting there to be dissappointed. Francie |

"It sounds so embarrassingly familiar...something about 1844..." Colleen, (an update) I finally heard from my SDA friend on this topic. He pointed to Matthew 24:36 "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only." And I simply asked him why could he see it with Harold Camping and not the SDA church? I referenced to the beginnings of the SDA church and how it got it's start. Colleen, all of you who are "Formers" here, it isn't my intention to say anything that would offend you since I know all of you once may have believed this. I know how close to home this hits for many of you. But this is why I've been trying to get my friend to study on his own without their influence. I asked him and he said he's been an Adventist now for 4 months. He's taking the "Galatians Challenge" as I called it in another thread. Hopefully (praying as Paul prayed for the Ephesians for wisdom and revelation in Him) the Lord will open his eyes. |
