Or do you think he is going to make up some excuse and stop?|||There's really only seven things a Doomsday prophet CAN say once a prophecy fails to come true, a list worked out by social psychologists back in the 1950s:
鈥?The prophecy was fulfilled, spiritually
鈥?The prophecy was fulfilled physically, but not as expected
鈥?The date was miscalculated
鈥?The date was a loose prediction, not a specific prophecy
鈥?The date was a warning, not a prophecy
鈥?A merciful deity changed his mind
鈥?Prophecy was simply a test of the group members鈥?faith
Whether Camping will try and set another date or not, he will need to address his previous incorrect date first. To do so, he would have to refer to this list and pick at least one of these options. For the May 21 prediction, he has actually blended two of these answers by saying it was both "fulfilled spiritually" and "a warning."
As of right now, the Family Radio organization has been ordered not to talk to the media, so for the moment it looks like Camping will not be engaging in any more date-setting.|||I hope not..This can be an Obsession if you let it get the better of you. Lets just let God pick the Date then we all can relax BUT be ready in your Faith to meet God. You can relax but not in a sinful way---just wanted to make that clear if I was misunderstood. You can have Fun but you don't have to sin in doing this.|||You never know what a false prophet will do. I did not listen to him the first time because of what our Lord said.
Mat 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
No one should be listening to him any more because of what the Bible says in Deuteronomy.
Deu 18:22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
Our Lord will come in a day when no one will expect, as a thief in the night. Even so, may we all be ready for the coming of our Lord Jesus.|||He'll make another date. If he doesn't, he loses his flock and can't make any more money off them. Maintaining those radio stations, web sites, buses, cars and other propaganda spreading his lies takes a lot of money.|||@ Chris A to the Men. My feelings that exactly. That spirit he is operating in is certainly not reading the Word. No man knows the hour or the day.
.|||He will continue to do so until his date with his end will come up, and then, he will stop.|||I'm no expert on the subject, but I think he may stop.
Although today is the first time I have heard of him.|||I hope he's done. People like him make religion look so stupid that they discourage all real discussion of theology.|||I hope he does so we can have another round of laughs at his idiocy.|||The Jehovah's Witnesses and the SDAs did. I don't see why the Campingites wouldn't.|||He's so crazy and I really hope no one thinks that all christians are like that because that man is just such a physco haha|||He will until his own end date is set.|||It is not unlikely, since he has done so twice before, winning money and notoriety for his errors.
Cheers,
Bruce|||Mr. Camping should stop while he's ahead.|||No Bill Graham will.|||Nah, I'm sure he'll wait a little while and try it for a 4th time.|||he will probably keep trying|||i think he will try to make us think God changed his mind
