Camping Claims He's Right & His Debate with James White

Here's probably my last bit of Camping "end-of-the-world" stuff. First things first, he kind of issued a statement about his apocoflop. It was a rather rambling thing that you'll never get through. But here's part one anyway:

You can keep following on to parts 2-6 depending on your stamina.

Also, you may not be aware of the fact that James White actually debated Harold Camping a while back. You can listen to those debates online now right here:

Part 1; Part 2

I also want to link here to James' "open letter" to Camping, calling him to repent. http://www.aomin.org/aoblog/index.php?itemid=4645

Okay, that's all.

Inner circle member of Family Radio says Camping owes apology to public; preacher 'mystified': wife - International Business Times

Inner circle member of Family Radio says Camping owes apology to public; preacher 'mystified': wife - International Business Times: "Camping's wife said her husband was 'somewhat bewildered' and 'mystified' after his prediction proved a dud, said Tom Evans, who belongs to the inner circle of Camping followers."

Camping Devotees trying to Explain Away their FAIL

Evangelist Harold Camping's failed prediction that the world would end May 21 prompted humorous protests like this one Saturday outside the Oakland, Calif., offices of his Family Radio. But it's too soon to tell how Camping's followers will cope with the failed prophecy.

Here's the first I've seen of post-"rapture-fail" statements from Camping-devotees. Follow the link below - looks like the stage is being set to say that it was a "spiritual" judgment and that now the world will really end in October.

Doomsday Believers Cope With An Intact World : NPR: "'God is God; God's going to do what he has to do,' he says.

True, he says, believers got some of the details wrong. But the thrust of the message is right.

'Judgment Day has come and passed, but it was a spiritual judgment on the world,' he explains. 'There is no more salvation. Salvation is over with. The fact is we have 153 days, and on the 21st of October, the world will end.'"
