Last year, I wrote a post about this so-called “Christian” billboard design that angered me somewhat:
I don’t want to be negative here, but there are some “Christians” making a mockery out of the Christian Faith. Here, we have the prediction from Harold Camping that the rapture of the church will happen tomorrow.
Well, tomorrow will be here, and I will do my best to spread the true Christian message as long as I breathe air.
If it’s not December 21st 2012, it’s May 21st 2012 or any other date that people “calculate”. Take a look at the billboard design above; it should never have been designed. It will mislead people and strips Christians of their credibility.
If you are a Christian and have your heart set on such-and-such a date, please stop it. Just live your life for Jesus and quit worrying about such things. Yes, we will know when the time is near, and personally, I do believe we are close to Christ’s Return, but we are Not to try and set dates.

It really is falling into the same trap that Adam and Eve stepped into – the lie that we can understand this God, figure Him out and know exactly what He will do. He is the incomprehensible God – we will never understand His thoughts or His ways. Its the height of pride to say we can figure things like this out.

Jason → Yes, I totally agree with you. This kind of thing is the opposite of what Christianity requires.
Analogy: While the majority of peace-loving muslims have to contend with radical extremists, we Christians have to contend with the date-setters, false prophets and charletons.
