HERESY!

Maybe it's time to stop listening and supporting Harold Camping's Radio Network -- Family Radio!!!

I have never suggested this before, but just the other day, I was driving back from Florida to Atlanta, and I searched the FM radio dial and came across Family Radio playing some of the most inspiring hymns and spiritual songs.  I was so blessed by the special rendition of "Grace Greater Than Our Sin" -- it was beautiful! 

THEN....

"Open Forum with Harold Camping" came on.....LIVE.... so I continued to listen --- Remember Harold was the man who predicted the Rapture on May 21 - Judgment Day!  Thousands of billboards were all across the nation announcing 'JUDGMENT DAY - MAY 21'.

I LISTEN TO HEAR WHAT THIS OLD MAN WOULD SAY!

The first caller asked him a Biblical question regarding the passage that referred the "disciple who leaned on the breast of Jesus".

Harold stumbled all over himself, then finally said that disciple was actually Lazarus -- and we should call the Gospel of John - the Gospel of Lazarus.

WOW -- that's a new one!  

I kept  listening.

Second Caller asked about him "missing the prediction" concerning May 21 -- and off he went again.

He said May 21 WAS Judgment Day for all the world.

He said that May 21, 2011 was the last day of salvation.  According to his theory, NO ONE can be saved after May 21, 2011.

The "earthquakes" he predicted that would happen at 6 p.m. in each time zone around the world ---well, it wasn't physical earthquakes --- NO, he said, it was spiritual.  And the world was shaken.  He quoted the Genesis Scripture where man is made from the "dust" -- "earth" to him.....

Then Harold continued....

I heard this old man say that the whole world will be annihilated on October 21, 2011

"Annihilated!"  That was his word!

About that time, I had driven past the strength of the FM signal, and Harold's voice was fading out....

The only word that came to mind:  HERESY

THIS IS FALSE TEACHING!

All I could think about for miles was the beautiful Gospel message presented on this network just minutes before about God's Grace.....then the owner/founder of this network opens the mic and tells everybody they basically can't be saved now -- they missed the date -- May 21, 2011.

WHAT A TREMENDOUS CONTRADICTION!

It's time for Harold Camping to STOP --- GIVE IT UP!  TURN OFF FAMILY RADIO, 

or at least - Get OFF the AIR!

Mr. Camping - you are misguided and you are WRONG!

You are misleading people everywhere!

If Harold won't stop - then STOP listening to Family Radio -- and STOP sending money to him!

I have THREE Announcements:

1.  The last day for salvation was NOT May 21 -- the last day for your salvation is the day you die, or the day that Jesus Christ actually returns to earth.  THIS IS THE DAY OF SALVATION NOW!

GET IN NOW! THERE IS STILL TIME.

2. The world will NOT be annihilated on October 21, 2011 --  Judgment Day will come one day, AFTER Christ returns. Christ is not coming on October 21 -- HE could actually come any day now! Are you ready?

3. The Gospel of John was actually written by John, the beloved disciple that Jesus referred to -- not Lazarus!

JUST THOUGHT YOU OUGHT TO KNOW!

WHAT DO YOU THINK??

REPENTANCE??

WHAT DOES TRUE REPENTANCE LOOK LIKE?

Time and time again, we are being faced with news story after another where individuals appear to be "repentant" - on the surface -- or at least while the cameras are rolling -- then later we are left to wonder? Where they really repentant at all?

It's human nature to react to a sudden event with shock and a sense of feeling "sorry" --- but feeling sorry is NOT repentance at all!

Three cases in point!

Just a few days ago we heard here in Atlanta that Bishop Eddie Long had "settled out of court" with five young men who had accused him of sexual misconduct.  When the Pastor was first accused, he stood before his congregation and vowed to fight and air his side of the story in a court of law, not a court of opinion.  What happened?

According to his spokesperson, Long "settled" so that his ministry could continue and not be hampered by a court proceeding.  Many in his congregation were anxiously and loyally awaiting his defense.....awaiting his assurance of his innocence.  Now all they have are questions? What is Bishop Long hiding?  What did he really do with those five young men?  Why did he pay them money? Was the money "hush money?"
Did the money come from him, or the church coffers?

Only God, Long, and the five young men know the answers!!

Is Bishop Eddie Long worthy of being called "Bishop" any longer?

Has there been any signs of true repentance?

I'll let God be the judge of that one!!!

Case # 2 -  This past week, another man who calls himself, "Bishop" -- opened a new branch of his Church in the Now in Midtown Atlanta.... home of the gay community of Atlanta.

Jim Swilley hasn't even tried to "repent", believing he has nothing to repent from.....

Instead, he goes on ... and moves forward, as if nothing is wrong or out of place!

Before all this "revelation" was made public -- that Swilley was homosexual -- and in his mind, "made that way" -- his church was in financial straits .... now I wonder .... all he lost in "straight" members -- is he making up for it with "gay" members???

I'll leave that question to God!

Case # 3 -  Just a few days ago, another man who carried a title, "Bishop" -- was arrested in Tampa for Driving Under the Influence --  Randy White!

Randy divorced his second wife, Paula, a while back .... stepped down from being Senior Pastor of Church Without Walls in Tampa, stating he has "health issues", and invited his former wife, Paul White, to return as Pastor.  Now he's arrested for DUI??


Am I the only one who sees a pattern of inconsistency here??


What is repentance?  Feeling sorry?  Getting caught or arrested?  
Being embarrassed in pubic?
Or does it have everything to do with your heart and God?


I believe that true repentance means you CHANGE!  You change your mind -- you change your ways -- you change your actions -- you become humble, realizing that only God can really change you!




I, FOR ONE, HAVE "HAD IT" WITH FAKE PREACHERS -- PHONY BISHOPS -- AND MEN WHO GLOSS OVER TRUE REPENTANCE!
IT'S TIME FOR AN OLD-FASHION REVIVAL OF REPENTANCE IN THE CHURCH!


What do you think??
