Saw the story on Fox News.Personally I think his prediction is a bunch of S**T

I'm not worried at all. I think every prediction of an actual date for the end of the world is a joke. People don't know when the world is going to end.

I think people who do waste time predicting the apocalypse are doing it for the sensationalism it brings. You get attention when you predict the world is ending. I don't know how many more times we are going to get a prediction before people stop listening.

its all a load of BS the preacher was probably on drugs or something

Right, so when the day has come and passed, and we're still here - they say, "Oh, we weren't chosen". It's more like a cult teaching than truth. Truth is the day cannot be foretold. With that, I think it's funny how they back-pedal.

I'm sorry, but I've already made a thread about this a while back. Behold: https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=24964

I don't believe that anything apocalyptic will happen, but just the idea of it is a little unsettling.

I gave a response on my blog: http://asianbeliever.blogspot.com/2011/05/my-quick-response-on-may-21-2011-harold.html

Interesting note, Harold Camping's "calculation" is relying on the verse of that some say states that "day" is a thousand years, in which "7 days" is 7 thousand years. Big mistake.

If you look at Harold Camping's theology and practice, it is not even the Christian message. His doctrine is not even on par with Christian theology. It's unorthodox and cult-like. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vF2wc_StJN4&feature=player_embedded#at=955

Another thing that I forgot to mention, that Jesus made it clear one of the signs of the end of days. "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come." (Matthew 24:14)

If people actually took the time to READ the Bible, they would know that it says the God's day of judgement "will come like a thief in the night". We will NOT know the day or the hour. Also, it does NOT say that he is going to blow the earth up. In the Bible it states that clearly that God is love. God would not so cruelly create something just to blow it up. Yes man creates buildings and tears it down. But MAN is imperfect. God is perfect. Some people seriously need to read the Bible instead of using it as a coaster.

SunflowerGaming : I agree, well somewhat off topic but, I haven't heard of the the phrase "Using the Bible as a coaster". It makes perfect sense; I think I'm going to keep this in mind during discussions with some people I'm in contact with lol.

tRIUNE : Haha, yeah. I don't think some people actually know the Bible is something you read.

I agree with you SunflowerGaming ...God doesn't tell when he will end the earth but in the Bible,..it just merely foretells that people,people who do not trust and have faith in him are the ones who would end...not the entire Earth...cause the world keeps spinning around..eheheh

Well I'm not dead so the idiot who thought today was Judgment day is still full of s**t.

Look! I've finally come back after weeks of inactivity! This is a great topic to post about-

Camping predicted that at 6pm (in your local time zone), a large earthquake will happen. It will start at Kiritimati Island (Christmas Island) and hit each time zone at 6pm. He said the Christians will be raptured into heaven. Then in October 21, 2011, the universe will be destroyed. I'm not very religious, but I do think that the Bible states that the end of the universe will be after a 7 year tribulation period, a 1000 year reign of Christ on Earth, and Armageddon. This theory goes directly against what the Bible says.

There hasn't been any major earthquake yet, people across the world haven't been reported missing, and it's May 22nd in Kiritimati and several other time zones. All of the hype and hysteria is just like Y2K. I might have been a little kid, but I remember that. I think that 2012 will be exactly like this--hysteria and paranoia.

I'll keep a watch over the world news. It's approximately 8:00 am Eastern Standard US Time where I live so I'll update again around 7:00 pm EST. If something happens I'll let you know

Not even the angels in heaven know the exact date of the rapture only God himself. I have a better chance of getting into heaven then these Jim Jones koolaid drinking cult ripoff wannabes who call themselves christian

- Deceiving the masses
- Profiting from a scam rapture
- Causing mass hysteria
- Distorting bible quotes & ignoring them at same time

This guy should not only get sued for mass emotional distress but God should send him to hell for this

it's 8:18 and still no earthquake

JigSaw :
I absolutely agree. This man, Harold Camping, is behaving like a cult leader and is probably using fear in the form of false prophecy to gain followers.
Let him burn!!!

Nah, I don't worry at all. It's May 21 today right now right here, and I'm still alive and kicking, lol what a disappointment <- kidding

Nobody knows when the end will come, so just try to live every day as if it was the last day

It appears that he also said the world would end in 1994... and yet people believe him even more the second time around? Interesting. Second coming and guessing of Harold not Jesus I guess his followers overlooked his logic

JigSaw : You are absolutely correct. The Bible does say that not even the angels themselves know the day or the hour. He is going to just look like a total fool.

Well, like I said. It's nearly 8:00 pm EST and nothing happened. It's safe to say that the May 21st, 2011, doomsday prediction is a hoax. Just a scam to gain more followers.
This was a scary thing to announce. I had one of my friends call me crying because she was scared the world was gonna end today.

ARRRGHHH!!!!!! Harold's response: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1390268/Rapture-Harold-Camping-explains-wrong--says-God-bring-Rapture-OCTOBER-21.html#ixzz1NFbpDvbQ

HE IS TOTALLY OFF IN HIS INTERPRETATION OF scripture!!! He doesn't even get it right about the gospel or orthodox theology. PLEASE HAROLD, STOP PREACHING FALSE MESSAGES, REPENT, BELIEVE THE GOSPEL, GET BACK TO CHURCH, AND GET YOUR MIND STRAIGHT!!!

This is what happens when someone says that the Bible is the Word of God, yet botches up which verses are to interpret literally and which verses are to interpret figuratively...
