The 5/21 people are standing outside BCF.

I wonder if Old Navy is gonna have a 5/20 clearance sale.

[andreas]

Wait, which? What are you talking about?

[Grieryaliny]

Why pay for clothing after the Rapture? I'm sure there will be plenty of empty garments left behind to pick over on May 22nd.

Family Radio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Central to Family Radio's and Camping's teaching is the belief that the Bible is the Word of God and completely true. However, he emphasizes, this does not mean that each sentence in the Bible is to be understood only literally. Rather, the meaning of individual Biblical passages needs to be interpreted in the light of two factors. The first is the context of the Bible as a whole. The second is its spiritual meaning: in Camping's words, "the Bible is an earthly story with a Heavenly meaning." In Camping's latest publication,"We are Almost There!"[15], he states that certain Biblical passages point unquestionably to May 21, 2011 as the date of "Rapture", and October 21, 2011 as the end of the world.

Since leaving the Reformed Church in 1988, Camping has taught doctrines that may conflict with doctrines of the Reformed Church and other church denominations. The principles of Biblical hermeneutics upon which Camping frames his present teachings are:

The Bible alone is the Word of God.

Every Biblical passage must be interpreted in the light of the Bible as a whole.

The Bible normally conveys multiple levels of meaning or significance.[16]

Numerology cannot be applied to numbers in the Bible when following the Biblical rules—some individuals have attempted to apply the concept to Camping's research.

That salvation is unmerited and cannot be achieved by good works, prayer, belief or acceptance. It is a pure act of God's grace and that those to be saved were chosen "before the foundation of the world". He has been accused of adding conditions to salvation and teaching relative free will of humanity. However, he has admitted that some, though very few, could be saved, while still in the worldly churches, just as there would be those saved inside the nation of Israel, and that leaving the churches is merely something a believer should do, just as a believer should not lie or cheat. He also gives credit to God for what has been called "common grace", where the unsaved, the yet to be saved and the saved are blessed to do good works, but this is not considered the gift of salvation itself.

Examples of how Camping's teachings vary from past conventional doctrines are:

Departing from doctrines stating no one can know the time of Christ's second coming, he teaches that the exact times of the Rapture and the End of the World are to be revealed sometime towards the end of time: (Daniel 12:9-13) prophecy.

Camping teaches that the "Church age" is over, that Satan now rules in all churches, and that no person remaining in a church at the time of the Rapture can be saved. He distinguishes his ministry from a "church", saying that Family Radio does not have a "membership" or hold "authority".

Camping now teaches that "hell" is synonymous with "death" and the "grave", and that there is no everlasting torment.

Camping now teaches that The Cross was just a demonstration of what had already happened before the foundation of the world.

Blasphemer! God ain't taking no naked people up to Heaven. If God wanted us naked, we'd be born that way.

The other day I heard Blondie's "Rapture" blaring out a car window that was headed down Fkd Ave.
Amusing

[esdfsdflast]

I'm really looking forward to 5/22.

Note that 5/21 is just the rapture, the Earth will still be here, it just will be filled with less people.

[dr-eavealer]

I love these

[abishiots]

If I see one of those on a car....

[w4WBthjv]

If I had a car, the bumper sticker would say, "In case of rapture, I'm banging your daughter."

[denSmumbSes]

I think I"ll burn some black candles at midnight, just to egg things on.

[flienianO]

The thing about being "Born Again" is that after this Rapture doesn't happen you can always be... yet born again to prepare for the next Rapture.

[teodaschwartia]

I'm going to be on patrol on the 21st, there will be a lot of unmanned boats on the water for the taking.
