Teaching truth is of supreme importance. Long ago, Family Radio and the
teaching of Mr. Camping stood out to me because I could hear the sound of truth.
I did not hear this distinct sound of truth anywhere else the way I heard it
when I listened to Mr. Camping on Family Radio. Also, the way the truth was
proclaimed was also very different than how teachings were proclaimed in just
about every other ministry. The truth of the Bible was proclaimed with
authority (years later I learned this is one of the characteristics of Christ,
He spoke with authority the Bible says, unlike the teachings of the Pharisees)...
(No, that's not a typo and your computer is not malfunctioning- he's comparing
Camping with Christ.)
The same methodology which allowed Mr. Camping to develop such clear teachings
of many biblical subjects was also applied to the end times teachings of the
Bible. Soon, a crystal clear outline of end times events developed. Each step
could be checked as to how it was arrived at, and for faithfulness to the
Scriptures themselves. Eventually, a great deal of information was gathered
together and zeroed in on the date of May 21, 2011 as Judgment Day!
As I review (and have reviewed) all the Bible's information, concerning May 21,
and now Purim. I see things that were wrong (again, no literal earthquake, no
physical 5 months of torment on earth, no end of the world in October, and no
end of the world and rapture of God's people during the feast of Purim); but my
problem is that I do not see why they were wrong. Based on the Bible's evidence
I do not see why the world did not end. Therefore I do not know where to make
correction.
(What part of "No man knows the day or the hour" did you miss?)
Years ago I have felt extremely sorrowful over the many false teachings of the
churches. We first began as a ministry with the desire of being as faithful as
possible to what the Bible says. I have never wanted to teach anything contrary
to the Bible. There is enough error out there to last us all many lifetimes. E
Bible Fellowship existed to teach truth. And yet, without knowing how or where
to make correction regarding a doctrine that impacts so much of the Bible itself
I do not think it is possible to continue teaching at this time...
(All of the false predictions have been hard on the offering plate. Time to pick
up a job washing cars. And forget about EVER going back to a church!!!)
Sadly, it is time for this group to close. E Bible Fellowship has sponsored
this group for the last couple of years in order to provide a place of
discussion on end time topics. At this point, E Bible has no answers to some
very important questions concerning the end times. However, may I also point
out that neither do others. I'm sure many think they do, and our eager to share
their understandings concerning where we are and what is going on regarding
'time and judgment'; but I've heard nothing from these sources that are very
solid at all. Actually, one additional reason we will be shutting down this
group is to avoid it becoming a place for other people's speculations.
(Clueless... If Chris McCann doesn't have a clue, no one else does either.
What an epitaph- the shepard has left his sheep adrift.)
P.S. We will keep the group open for a short time to allow anyone interested to
say their goodbyes.
