The Harold Camping Follies (Continued)

Based on this latest update post from Robert Godfrey, I must conclude that Mr. Harold Camping (the end of the world on May 21, 2011 billboard guy) is even more off the theological reservation than I had earlier thought. Please see The End of the World According to Harold Camping (Part 5) by W. Robert Godfrey at Ligonier Ministries Blog. I knew Camping was off in his date setting for the judgment day, as well as his wacky numerology approach to interpreting the Scriptures. However, I did not  know that he is also teaching non-evangelical things about salvation and the nature of God. Godfrey concludes:
"Camping’s presentation of God’s mercy is from beginning to end unbiblical and unchristian. He has no Trinity, no cross, no faith alone in Jesus alone, and no assurance. His vision of God and mercy is more Muslim than Christian. If Camping still believes in the Trinity, in Jesus and his cross, and in justification by faith alone, then his recent teaching shows that he is a failure as a teacher of the Gospel and his call to repentance lacks enough content for sinners to find salvation in Jesus."
I suggest that everyone should avoid Camping and his teachings like a spiritual plague!

  1. My brother-in-law has a family member who believes in this man's teaching. The family member is frantic with worry about Jesus' second coming because of Campings' erronous teaching about eternal security. He also actively discourages believers from attending church services. It's very troubling.

  2. Yeah, we have a friend whose husband maxed out their credit cards giving to this guy. Going to be a lot of confounded and confused people come May 22. Camping, on the other hand, will just say he "miscalculated" again and go right on with his "ministry."
