Confused about the math of judgement day?
One of the main sources of proof that Mr. Camping uses for his mathematical predictions is what he calls simple math. According to him it will be 7000 years since god flooded the earth, but to god 1000 years to us is 1 year to god.
So The "first" go around when god flooded the earth, didnt he tell Noah and his wife jane that he was flooding the earth for 40 days and 40 nights?
So by Campings math, Noah and his wife jane were on the Ark for 40,000 years?
Not that I really care, I am just trying to figure this loonball's math out, because like everything he says, it turns out to be false....
I am an Athiest, just trying to understand what makes this guy tick, If I were religious, he kinda sounds like one of those false prophets supposedly that comes to light before the final war or something
Yes Noah's wife was joan
It was Noah's Ark and Jane being from the Ark was known as Joan of Ark

I also spoke with God and he said floods happen because of weather conditions and are not connected to morality.He also said he didnt know what a mathematical equation was and that his creation uses math as a way of sounding intelligent about something that is totally ludicrous. According to my mathematical calculation Camping is 99% due for a doctors appointment to check his Alzheimers and his prostate. I would sooner try counting grains of sand on the atlantic coast then try to figure out his math as it might be more rewarding. Noah's wife was Lindsay Lohan by the way.

From their own website: http://www.ebiblefellowship.com/outreach/tracts/ma...
"And when we project 7000 years into the future from 4990 BC, we find that it falls on the year 2011 AD.
4990 + 2011 = 7001
Note: When counting from an Old Testament date to a New Testament date, always subtract one year because there is no year zero, resulting in:
4990 + 2011 – 1 = 7000 years exactly."
The problem is in the "year zero." That's not how it works. Aren't real prophets supposed to be infallible? He accidentally got it correct by subtracting one year, though. Using his logic, then (January 1) 2001 to (January 1) 2010 would be 10 years.
http://www.timeanddate.com/date/durationresult.htm...
(January 1) 0001 to (January 1) 0002 would be two years according to Harold Camping.
This of course, is a major problem for his prophecies. Should we trust this man if he can't get that right?

Actually, the bible says that 1,000 years is like a day and that a day is like 1,000 years. Either God was supposed to to destroy the world the week after he flooded it, or 2,555,000,000 years later.
Make up your mind, is it supposed to be Joan or Jane? Jewish texts, however reveal her name to be Naamah.

Jesus is quoted in Matthew 24:36: “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.”
I’m not certain what calculations Camping used to come up with his date, but it takes a great deal of hubris for someone to think he knows more about God’s schedule than the Son of God. I, personally, wouldn’t deign to say Christ is coming tomorrow — or that He isn’t. Or that He is coming the next day or in 1,000 years.

Jesus gave him the math, is what I heard. So maybe it's Jesus that has got a problem with math.
By the way Noah's wife was Elaine.

Wow, he has lost his marbles if he thinks God reveals truth via "mathematical bible numerology equations." What a blatant heretic. He thinks his little "multiply this, add this, subtract this, and divide by 0" can "decipher" the day and hour that NO MAN KNOWETH, that Christ himself said? Sad sad sad. He's a walking tower of babel (tower of confusion), and scattering people and leading them astray. Thus saith the LORD: "Woe unto the shepherds who prophesy a lie in my name."
I am glad some of you atheists are tearing him a new one. He deserves it.

(Matthew 24:36) “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.

No one knows the exact date of judgement day. As said in the christian books and the holy qu'ran.
