On some level, I suppose I feel some pity for Harold Camping, but when I think of the people who've spent their life savings or otherwise changed their lives for the worse because they believed him, while Harold Camping himself has gotten tons of free media attention for his radio station and his publications, I can't summon very much sympathy for him. |

I'm also kind of hard pressed to feel sorry for Harold. Rather than repent, admit that he was wrong, and apologize for all the damage he's done to those who gave all their possessions and their lives to follow his message, he insists that he's a prophet and continues to construct these un-biblical prophecies of his. I'll hardly feel sorry for him on October 22 as well; the disappointment and ridicule he'll experience that day will only be because he brought it upon himself.
I'd like to see him truly live for God, but he seems to choose not to.

I'd like to see him truly live for God, but he seems to choose not to. The thing is, he actually personally believes it. He's fallen victim to the worst kind of falsehood: self-deception. Repenting only works if you believe you've done something wrong and have need to repent. |
