DOOMSDAY DID NOT OCCUR! HAROLD CAMPING IS A FALSE PROPHET!

Well, Harold Camping’s d-day declaration came and went. He is been proven once again to be a false prophet. He might have declared the church age is over and called Christians to flee their churches and gather around his teaching, but Christians are to flee Harold Camping.

Here is what I will predict. D-day declarations will still continue. The next one is set at December 21, 2012 with the alleged end to the long count Mayan Calendar, but this too will also fail. There shall be many radio, television, and internet personalities arising up to claim they know they exact date of doomsday, but none shall ever pan out. Sadly, I predict there shall be many who shall be misled into this end time madness, some of them at great cost to their families, finances, fellowship, and future. People make life changing decisions based upon these false prophecies. In the most recent one, some have even gave up their life savings to put up billboards warning about May 21, 2011—a false prophecy that came and went.

Things need not always be this way. We can learn to test all things in light of the Scripture, and using sound methods of biblical interpretation, separate the truth from error.

God bless

Well this is another election year, which makes the Tuesday after the first Monday in November the terminus ad quem for all the political madness that comes beforehand in the USA. With all the mudslinging, rioting, and overall incivility, it is hard to believe were still have over five months to go. I am going through the Book of 1-2 Kings at the moment, and the refrain “Only the high places were not taken away” caught my eye, and as I began to meditate upon them, I found them to be a bit helpful in grappling with all that goes on during these turbulent election years. Here a little background is needed. After the days of Solomon there came about a civil war that divided the children of Abraham living in the promise land into two nations—the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah. There eventually came about a series of rulers in the kingdom of Judah whose reigns the biblical writer describes this way: Jehoash did right in the sight of the LORD…Only

The Good Thing About God and Judgment

Today, I was continuing my trek through the extensive Paul and the Faithfulness of God by N.T. Wright. There is so much content in this extensive two-volume work, I can only soak in a small percentage of it. Working through Wright is always a work in progress. He is just one of those astute theologians who leaves no stone unturned in developing a point. Wright makes this observation about the way the larger story of the New Testament conveyed in Paul’s works concerns God’s judgment in the world, which is part of the way he has come to setup his rule over the world. On p. 481 Write notes,  The word “judgment” has of course been allowed to slip into negative mode in the contemporary western world, with “judgmentalism” one of the classic postmodern villains. But even a postmodernist whose car has been damaged by a drunk driver wants a court to pass “judgment” against the offender. “Judgment” is in fact a positive thing. It is what restores health to a society, a balance
