Harold Camping Repents

(Christian Post) With his speech sounding somewhat slurred and labored, Family Radio Stations Inc. founder and chairman Harold Camping sought to address in a recent message why Christ failed to return on Oct. 21 as the Bible teacher had predicted. Camping confessed, after decades of falsely misleading his followers, that he was wrong and regrets his misdeeds.

In addition to attempting to correct his erroneous teachings on the Rapture and God's day of final judgment on the world, Camping, 90, also confessed, "incidentally," that he was wrong to claim that God had stopped saving people after May 21 – the date which God's so-called "spiritual" judgment had begun.

This is undoubtedly a radical shift for Camping, who has staunchly claimed since 1992 that he had discovered a special numerical system in the Bible that allowed him to calculate the exact dates of certain events, such as the Great Flood, the Crucifixion and the day of Jesus Christ's return to Earth.

Camping first falsely predicted that the world would end on Sept. 6, 1994, then again on May 21, 2011, and finally on Oct. 21. (Read more)

The Late Great Planet Church: The Rise of Dispensationalism

(YouTube link) (Part 2 3 4 5 6) (Part 7 is missing)

In December 2009, I did research on the Pre-Tribulation Rapture and its origin. I've always questioned whether the Scriptures reflected Dispensationalism, and saw the Christians departure as pre-wrath.

In this production, they examine the beginnings, beliefs, and motivations of this movement by focusing on its relatively recent development, stormy history, and its most influential proponents.

There is an interesting doctrine that is lumped-in with this flawed doctrine. Gary DeMar makes the point that most of the early Church fathers made no distinction between Israel and the Church. They saw the Church as the fulfillment of all of the promises made to Israel. This is because the Gentiles were grafted into an already existing Jewish Church. They viewed Israel and the Church as being the same entity. This is a 19th century phenomenon. (All in part 2)

 

The presentation includes an insight into who John Nelson Darby and Cyrus Scofield were, and comments of people who lived during their time. It wasn't mentioned in the video, but both of these individuals were Freemasons.

The last discussion is on the issue of salvation and why people go to hell. It is not because they reject the Gospel. People go to hell because they are lost in sin without the benefit of the blood covering.

This is a thought-provoking video! If you want one of your own, there are two places to buy it. I'll provide a link to Amazon, or you can buy it directly from their website. They have some other interesting titles.
