"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!
This blog compiles some notes and observations from one average guy's journey of life, faith and thought, along with some harvests from my reading (both on-line and in print). Learning to follow Jesus is a journey; come join me on the never-ending adventure!

ReplyDeleteYeah, 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."
