So, just wondering what you think of Camping now that his prediction failed?... What would you say to someone who believed his explanation that Judgement Day was invisible, and who was still convinced he was acting for God?
Her answer: i have printed out some bits from the book and will send,but it mentions on page 134 about some Bible commentators and a British clergyman who had researched the end of the Gentile times and came to 1914.anyway,its heavy reading,but take a look.the book also goes into the things that we have not got totally right over the years,and the adjustments that were made,so it is candid.the scriptures are mentioned in it to check.I don't have any particular feeling about the Camping man,and I wasn't worried about his prediction as there are certain events that have to happen first and in God's time,not for us to know the exact date.2Peter3:9 says that God is not slow as regards his promises,but is paient because he doesnt want any to be destroyed.Before the flood,the people of Noah's time were warned of the destruction that was coming,but they didn't listen.Today the witnessing work is partly to warn people that God has a time to destroy the wicked and cleanse the earth.It wouldnt be fair of God to judge people without their knowledge and he is not capable of acting deceitfully or unjustly.Psalms 37:28.He has allowed mankind to rule themselves(something Adam and Eve chose to do)for thousands of years,and man has just got worse,not better.Despite advances in technology and medicine,there is more sickness,pollution crime,poverty and so on than ever before!The earth is getting ruined beyond what human intervention can ever fix.Basically,we believe what the Bible says about the coming war of Jehovah-Armageddon.but it's not a warfare that we physically take part in.Before that happens,the governments will turn on false religion and remove it.Then the governments will see those still practicing their beliefs(witnessing) and then God will step in and defend his people .I would have to show you a book that analyzes the book of Revelation to explain this,as it is pretty deep.Isaiah 2:1-4,talks about the final days when people will be instructed in God's ways,and he will set matters straight respecting many peoples,rendering judgement anong the nations.and noone will learn war anymore,,,.From this and other scriptures,people will know about the judgement,There are many people who are honestly trying to ascertain the truth about matters pertaining to Judgement day etc,and that's commendable.However,not all religions or beliefs lead to God( as some people think...1John2:17,änd Matthew 7:21)so not everyone will have the correct understanding of the scriptures.
I would like to ask her about her statement that "God wouldn't judge people without their knowledge... he is incapable of acting... injustly". So when I am destroyed by Jehovah, is he going to spare the life of my little girl (2 years old)?
