We Are Almost There! By Harold Camping
The author, Harold Camping, is president and cofounder of a regious broadcasting network that airs Christian music, Bible teaching programs, and etc. In the book We Are Almost There! Harold Camping takes the position that all Bible scholars are incorrect who say that we cannot know the exact date of the Rapture (Christ’s taking the Christian Church out of the world). Further, Harold Camping makes the claim (which most serious Bible scholars believe to be a grave error) that he’s figured out the exact date of the Rapture; according to Harold Camping:
From much information given to us in the Bible, we have discovered
that on May 21, 2011, all of those who were saved by Jesus’ payment, will
realize the completion of their salvation as they are raptured (caught up) into
heaven.
Camping goes further to say that he’s figured out the exact date of the end of the earth. He says:
We indeed can be certain that the rapture will occur on May 21, 2011, and the final day of
the history of the world is October 21, 2011.
But these are not just intellectual or academic facts. These are truths that
apply in a very personal way to every individual (almost seven billion people)
presently living on this earth.
Let me share that after reviewing We Are Almost There!, I am quite confident in saying the book is probably the worst work of literature we have reviewed to date; the author uses his book to promote unsubstantiated ideas as truth causing people to make life decisions based on their fear and Camping’s confident proclomations that the end of the world is happening in October.
In the interest of disclosure, let me say that my hometown (Oakland, California) is the homebase of Mr. Campings broadcasting network and that I and other Christians in the area have known for years that Mr. Camping holds incorrect and dangerous interpretations of scripture. For example, Harold Camping previously convinced many through his writings and broadcasting network that the the rapture was going to occur back in September 1994. Obviously, he was wrong about that prediction.
you are dangerous Lying to every one , you have been warned, from heavin ,christian owned , your a christian devil, i ask you to lay down your foolishness,, and your wickedness, the people across the globe are sick of you a totally false teacher why dont you give up and repent,, its to late for you maybe , your cut of ,, stop lying to the people , YAWA?THE CREATOR , IS READY , TO JUDGE YOU AND IS ALREADY ,THE WARNING , SOON YOU WILL TREMBLE AT HIS FEET AND CAST INTO THE PIT.
Hi Dann,
Are you saying that you believe that the Rapture happened already, according to Mr. Camping’s predicted timing? If you do believe that, I’m curious as to why you’re still here. I presume you’re still on earth given that you just posted a comment on this blog.
when he says that the bible scholars are wrong, then that means he’s telling jesus that He is wrong because thats not the words of the bible scholars but the very own words of jesus that came out from His mouth. if jesus said that no one, absolutly no one knows the day and hour of His coming, even He Himself dont know when He’s coming, then who on earth will predict His coming…no one knows the day and hour..all we need to do is to be ready when He appears…
This heresy is similar to what the apostle Paul warned, “Their teaching will spread like cancer. They say that resurrection have already taken place, and they destroy the faith of some” (2 Tim 2:17,18) Now that 21st Oct 2011 has passed, what does Harold say. Watch out Christians! The Bible is an inspired word of God and the Holy Spirit who inspired the writers knows that it is the truth.
What a big problem in this in time,he is among those leading many to hell due to heresies and misinterpretation of the scriptures
