2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
Emphasis mine.
ALAMEDA -- Harold Camping, the Doomsday radio preacher who sparked international media attention by predicting the end of the world last month, has been hospitalized after suffering a stroke at his Alameda home Thursday night.
Well, well, well.
Might there be more to it than that? I'd like to think so......
Random notes: KFRC - the "Big 6-10" version of it, anyway - is getting the big tribute treatment this week from the Broadcast Legends, which will turn its spring luncheon over to the powerhouse Top 40 station of the '60s and '70s. A six-pack of stellar names from the legendary station - Bobby Ocean, Dave Sholin, Jo Interante, Sue Hall, Big Tom Parker and John Catchings - will tell stories (with me moderating), and the audience will be studded with many alumni with their own tales to tell. The luncheon also will honor the late "Dr. Don" Rose. The event, on Tuesday at the Doubletree Inn in the Berkeley Marina, is open to the public.

Harold Camping, had predicted Judgment Day. If he were a DJ, he'd have spun Blondie's 1981 hit, "Rapture"...
Camping said he took his wife to a hotel during the weekend of the predicted Rapture and that the phone in his Alameda home rang constantly and strangers knocked on his door. It was, he said, "a very difficult time for me."
When the world did not end, Camping told reporters that the world would instead end Oct. 21 and argued that despite no physical evidence to the contrary, his point of view was correct.
Ezekiel 25:17. "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."
Heresies abound.
