I thought I saw a notice that Camping left the planet some years back.
*sigh* I used to listen to Harold Camping on WFME in Northern New Jersey. I enjoyed Family Radio back in the 80's. Of course, times have changed. To say that Mr. Camping has wandered off the reservation is to be kind. I fear that James White will have to take great pains not to embarrass Mr. Camping. I'm not sure the latter is firing on all cylinders these days.
Moved thread. For some reason it was in FAQ and Rules.
I do not know a lot about Mr. Camping, but heard him say this evening on the radio that the Rapture will be May 21, 2011. I guess it's nice to know the date so we can be prepaired.

As the wise Southern theologian Gomer Pyle once said, "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice shame on me".

I thought that was Mr. Scott on Star Trek; the "Trouble with Tribbles" episode.
The Scriptures do not shy away from exposing false teachers who tear down the Church of Jesus Christ and lead astray His blood bought sheep. That their folly is exposed to ridicule is nothing compared to the judgment to come.

Ridiculed by who? Exposing false teachers is one thing but a child of God should not make Camping an object of laughter, insults, or deliberate belittling. The previous post said we should rather pray that God will have mercy upon his soul and pull him back from this cliff he has jumped off.
Have a good day,

Perhaps one of my most used resources as well.Pyle's Systematic (the 18 episode first-season Andy Griffith DVD) is one of my "go-to" resources when the chips are down.
We can and should pray for the repentance of those who are undermining the Church. But exposing their madness is not thereby excluded. These two undertakings are not mutually exclusive. No doubt there were some Baal advocates whose sensitivities were bruised by this taunt of the prophet of the LORD.
Have you never read the Reformers? They were not so delicate as the political correct sensitivity police of our society today.
The apostles also calling unregenerates irrational beasts and so on also says something of the sort of rhetoric that might be permissible in Christian debate...

OK Bob, if that's the way you FEEL about Harold Camping fine. Nevertheless he was quite sound at one time and I believe there is hope for his never dying soul. The Lord has a way of bringing back them that are truly His.
The entire Harold Camping saga grieves me greatly.
During the past 35 years or so, myself and our family have known Mr. Camping, often been blessed by his biblical knowledge and Reformed teachings, and benefited from the many fine Christian teachings that has been made available on Family Radio. It was a good work for a long time.
However...
I agree. I still listen occasionally to the Open Forum, no doubt out of sinful pride, attempting to see if I would answer the caller's questions as Camping does. The man's knowledge of Scripture is impressive, and I am sorrowed by how much he has slipped into allegorical interpretations of Scripture without warrant.I appreciate your charitable nature - a virtue in which I can be found lacking.
However, you should be open to the idea that a public humiliation could be used to draw this man back into the fold of orthodoxy.
We wanted to get this up as soon as possible. We had major problems at first, but we got everything set up and still got a full hour or more in of meaningful exchange. As I expected, the focus was the proper one: Harold Camping's incoherent hermeneutical methodology. I am looking forward to tomorrow's exchange! Click here to listen to the program.
