Perhaps the most disturbing thing about Harold Camping is that he maintains that his teachings are biblical. You cannot argue the point with him because he will say “Don’t trust me, trust the Bible.” It becomes easy, therefore, for the uninformed to fall into the snare of believing that everything he puts forth is indeed biblical while clearly it is not.
Most painful is when I hear Catholics call in – and hearing Camping imploring them not to attend mass, receive the sacraments or go to confession.
Since he has the floor, so to speak, he will oftentimes shut the listener off and begin articulating his flawed teachings, not giving the listener a chance to refute or respond.
Honestly I am torn by this. I want to call in and tell him the errors of his teachings but I know I won’t get the first few sentences out before he shouts EXCUSE ME! Exuse me! as he so often does –
Would there be any benefit in calling his show to refute him? Or is this better left alone. My instincts tell me that I should at least give it a try.
