When you go camping with Harold, you learn the strangest doctrines. May 21, 2011 has been proclaimed to be the day of the return of Jesus Christ on some Christian family radio stations.

Setting a date for the return of Christ is only setting yourself up for a BIG fall. No one knows the date, nor the hour, thus saith the Lord. But then, there are other extremely dangerous doctrines being put forth by these same people, not just false dates for the return of the Lord.

1. The Church Age is Over. According to those who claim the Lord will return in May 21, 2011, The Church age is over, and everyone that is a Christian should leave their church, for all the churches are apostate. This is absolutely aggravating when most of us preachers are trying to get people INTO the church. And, the Bible tells us in Hebrews 10:25 that we are NOT to forsake the assembling of ourselves together, and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. Now, we all agree that the day is approaching, but who can refute that we are to be more faithful in church as the end draws near?

2. Only the elect can be saved. If you are not one of the elect, there is nothing you can do about it. Either you were born chosen of God, and therefore saved, or else you were born lost, and there is nothing you can do about it. According to them, you cannot repent. According to them, you cannot be converted. This is utter insanity. Why then, did Jesus have to come and die on the cross for our sins? If the saved were “saved” before birth, then why even preach to them? And if a lost guy can’t do anything, try as he might, to get saved, what hope does he have? That is not a very encouraging message to give to someone.

3. And now they are setting the date for Jesus’ return.

I count it the greatest honor in the world to tell you three Basic Bible Truths.
1. Jesus DID die for your sins on the cross.
2. ANYBODY can be saved, by merely placing your faith and trust in the finished work of Christ on the cross.
3. It doesn’t matter how you were born…. as long as you get Born Again!
