Family Radio Employees Stay

As I knew would happen, Harold Camping said May 21 was a "spiritual" and not a physical "rapture". How that's even possible is beyond me. He's sticking with his Oct. 21 date of total destruction ("physical") of the world. Yeah, he's going to say that too, was merely physical, on Oct. 22. Then he'll just have to embrace the heretical Hyper-Preterism and be done with it since his predictions are never real. Scripture says that the REAL Rapture will be physical and the destruction of the heavens and the earth will be physical too.

While this is pretty clear to most, what's an outgrowth of this problem is that "Christians" are not leaving Family Radio (Camping's radio stations), even though many didn't believe his prophecy.

According to one report:

On its website, Redeemer Broadcasting also addressed Family Radio employees, many of whom don't believe in Camping's teachings, and urged them to seek employment elsewhere.

According to Redeemer, over 80-90 percent of staff at Family Radio disagree with Camping.

"We know many of you personally, and empathize with you. You have been forced to produce programming for a man who no longer walks in the precepts of the Historic Christian faith. You are terribly frustrated, your hands are tied, and there is little to do but wait it out. There is a light at the end of the tunnel – please call us, and we can provide some encouragement."

To have refused to leave this abomination for the sake of an income shows that perhaps those 80-90% are not HIS either. They rather have money than be loyal to the Christ they call Lord. These are not ignorant people, helpless victims. Oh no, these people are making money off of a false teacher, false prophet, and false Christian who is taking money from thousands on top of everything else, and leading many astray. Blood money, demonic money. Its utterly shameful. Rather, they should have quite the moment they heard the false teachings of Camping, and trusted the Master for His care for their finances. He blesses those who obey Him and seek to put Him above all else.

What's worse than this date setting by fake prophet Camping, and therefore makes any "Christian" staying at any Family Radio station that much more of a traitor, is his utterly demon teaching against the church. He states that "The Holy Spirit has abandoned the churches." That which Jesus builds, that which He died for, that which He sustains, apparently Camping thinks is gone. So basically he's calling God a liar and a forsaker of His own!

Heb 13:5 Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, "I WILL NEVER DESERT YOU, NOR WILL I EVER FORSAKE YOU,"
Heb 13:6 so that we confidently say, "THE LORD IS MY HELPER, I WILL NOT BE AFRAID. WHAT WILL MAN DO TO ME?"
Heb 13:7 Remember those who led you, who spoke the word of God to you; and considering the result of their conduct, imitate their faith.
Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Heb 13:9 Do not be carried away by varied and strange teachings; for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, through which those who were so occupied were not benefited.

A false teacher cannot have a life worth imitating because his faith is itself an imitation. Camping is a glaring example of this. He's an utter hypocrite in doctrine and practice. Jesus Christ is faithful to those who are truly His, who abide in His Word which shows they belong to Him, feeding off of biblical truth and growing in the grace and knowledge of Him. This protects the soul from strange teachings which do not lead to a godly life, but one of chaos, confusion, and instability in mind and life.

I believe this is the real reason Camping has so many followers: justifying their hatred toward the local church and rebellion against the Lordship of the Lord. Such people are not HIS, but are an enemy of the King of kings. They speak against the King, they spread mutiny against the King and do not belong in His kingdom, but rather that of their own king, Satan's.

Mat 16:18 "I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it.

Mat 18:15 "If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother. 16 "But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that BY THE MOUTH OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES EVERY FACT MAY BE CONFIRMED. 17 "If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.

Heb 10:25 Do not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

Heb. 13: 17 Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account. Obey them so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no advantage to you.

Churchless people avoid the blessing and reject the accountability of being under the leadership of godly leaders in a local assembly. They reject church discipline, partaking of the Lord's Table which is a command until He comes to remember His finished work on the cross; they reject baptism of new believers into membership; they reject giving offerings to the church and missions which are to come through local churches; they reject ministry spiritual gifts in the assembly as dictating by the Lord; they don't lead people into rebellion against the commands of qualified men to be leaders to shepherd HIS flock in a local assembly (1Peter 5; Titus 1; 1Tim. 3).

They are attracted to a group that promotes mutiny and treason. That is appealing to the flesh and shows they do not have a new heart that submits to the Lordship of the Lord (see Rom. 10).
