Harold Camping Says May 21 Rapture Prediction Was 'Incorrect And Sinful' - Polidicks

Source: [URL]http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/08/harold-camping-may-21-rapture_n_1333023.html[/URL] [quote] Radio evangelist Harold Camping has called his erroneous prediction that the world would end last May 21 an "incorrect and sinful statement" and said his ministry is out of the prediction business. "We have learned the very painful lesson that all of creation is in God's hands and he will end time in his time, not ours!" reads the statement signed by Camping and his staff and posted on his ministry's website. "We humbly recognize that God may not tell his people the date when Christ will return, any more than he tells anyone the date they will die physically." The "March 2012" letter, which included multiple mea culpas, was released with a note from the board of California-based Family Radio. The group intended to mail it to listeners first, but immediately posted it "to avoid confusion" after it was leaked online. Camping said people have continued to wish for another prediction, but he is now convinced that critics were correct about the biblical admonition that "of that day and hour knoweth no man." "We must also openly acknowledge that we have no new evidence pointing to another date for the end of the world," he wrote. "Though many dates are circulating, Family Radio has no interest in even considering another date." The letter makes no reference to Camping's explanation last year that he had miscalculated by five months and the world would instead end on Oct. 21, 2011.The dual predictions landed Camping in the No. 7 spot of the Religion Newswriters Association's list of the top 10 religion stories of 2011.

Hasn't he been doing this for the last 20 or so years?

Yeah okay Harold.

A year past and two predictions failed, and he finally admits he was wrong.

"The Pastor Who Cried Doomsday" :v:

is it news?

"Sorry, we were wrong. No, you can't have your money back."

i remember when he said it was impossible to be incorrect fucking moron

What a dick

oh, you don't fucking say?

I can't believe anybody believed him. It says somewhere specifically in the bible, that no man, woman, or child, and or angel(?) will know the coming of the end.

Give it up old man, Your crazy.

Just fucking what. The man's been wrong about the whole "end of the world" thing countless times, and yet people are still at his feet begging for him to give them another sham prediction? I mean, I know people can be absolute morons sometimes, but this is just on a whole new level.

They want it to happen too, considering that they will(do) look like massive idiots when nothing happens after building an expensive fallout shelter.

Well at least he figured it out for himself in the end, and was man enough to admit he fucked up. So on that account, Kudos to him.
