Family Radio-Harold Camping

[Smalcald]

I used to listen to Harold on the Radio in the early 1990's, I didn't always agree but I often enjoyed his commentary. This looks like he has gone down the wrong road though, what do people think?

I used to listed to Family Radio on shortwave while stationed in many places overseas. It was nice to be able to listen and have Bible Studies with others and in some areas it was the only English broadcast we could pick up outside of Radio Moscow . . . Sad to see a ministry go down this path. It'll only make things worse when their "date" passes and nothing happens.

Well, we'll all see on May 22, won't we?

I'm planning an April Fool's party for May 22, myself.

I find it sad. It says something about the lack of intelligence in this group. Unfortunately, it causes many to look upon Christianity as a fools religion.

It is interesting because Harold was a pretty good Bible minister. I thought he answered questions quite well and I learned some things from him. But now we get this going on and it is like a cult. The explanations he has for this date are very convoluted.

Really though May 21 is just as good as any other date, I hope they are right!

1Th 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

1Th 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

1Th 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

Mat 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

Mat 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

Mat 24:43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

Mat 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

Mar 13:32 ¶ But of that day and [that] hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

Mar 13:33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.

Mar 13:34 [For the Son of man is] as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.

Mar 13:35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:

Even though I don't believe these people have any secret knowledge about the date of the Lord's return, there is no reason Jesus couldn't come back on May 21, or today for that matter. I have seen billboards all over the country telling us that the Lord is going to return on May 21. This could actually lead to the fulfillment of another sign of the times. It could lead to more scoffers asking "Where is the sign of his coming?" Date setting, especially making it so definate, is not wise.

I wonder if he'd consider selling me his entire radio network really cheap if he really believes he won't be here anyway in a very few days from now.
