“The End Of The World As We Know It” – at least, according to Harold Camping. (pardon the slowness of the linkl, they seem to be receiving a lot of traffic today [May 20, 2011])

Mr. Camping, your billboard advertisements say that you have “Biblical Proof” that the world will end at 6 pm (local time! local time? which local?) tomorrow, May 21, 2011.

Well, Mr. Camping, I have Biblical Proof that you are a liar and a false teacher:

But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

That was written by Matthew. It is a transcription of words from the very mouth of Jesus, the risen Son of God. It can be found in Chapter 24, verse 36. In the New Testament, Mr. Camping, in case you missed that part. You see, I believe the Bible to be the infallible word of God. You know what infallible means, Mr. Camping? It means true, without reproach, and unwavering – you know, as in non-contradictory.

Since the Bible, in fact, Jesus himself, says that no man can know when God will return to the earth in Judgement, then there may be a little problem with your claim that you can prove, with information from the Bible, that the world ends tomorrow. Either that, or Jesus lied. And, if Jesus (the risen Son of God) lied about this, then He cannot be trusted about anything. Which means that all the Christians in the world, throughout history, have been believing a lie.

Frankly, I have much more faith in Jesus’ word than in your word, Mr. Camping.
