I love Ephesians 2:8-10. Because it shows me how I am saved from my own sin. I have been hearing from "Brother Camping" as he is called on Family Radio, that the rapture is to occur on the 21st of May in 2011. (This is the same man that said that the world would possibly end in 1994). Apparently his theory is based on a couple of verses in the Bible, one that says that unto the Lord 1000 years is but a day. And the other about the fact that after 7 days the flood waters covered the earth, speaking about Noah's flood. He states that 7000 years after the flood is 2011. In my opinion that is just weak. If that key was in the Bible this whole time why has it not been interpreted that way in the past? Why now, and why only YOU Mr. Camping? I'm not saying that this isn't when we will be caught up in the clouds, however I am saying that this particular day has about as much chances as any other day in the future. I still believe that no one knows the day or the hour of the end of days, and that God will reveal his knowledge of such to NO ONE until the day comes. If the end of the world is really going to happen in 2 years, more so called "true believers" would have been alerted to these passages and there apparently "Obvious" correlation.
Brother Camping also subscribes to many notions that are not mainstream Christian traditions or theologies, such as his belief that all those who were "intended" to be saved were done so the moment that Jesus died on the cross, and that no one can be saved by faith. Well, Mr Camping, I urge you to explore the book of Ephesians again. For by grace am I saved, THROUGH FAITH, not by works, lest any man should boast.
DH out.
