That Camping could know when Christ will return or that James White could know that if Camping seeks to rescue his reputation, he will end up in hell?
James White: "I fear if you seek to rescue your reputation, you will end your life under the wrath of God. Your unwillingness to listen to counsel has already caused great damage to the cause of Christ. You have one final chance for redemption, sir. Do not remain stiff-necked. Repent and turn from your ways." (link)
Wherefore the end of Theology is the union, God with man, to the salvation of the one and the glory of the other; and to the glory which he declares by his act, not that glory which man ascribes to God when he is united to him. Yet it cannot be otherwise, than that man should be incited to sing forever the high praises of God, when he beholds and enjoys such large and overpowering goodness. – James Arminius

How can Camping have "one final chance for redemption" if his election (or non-election) has already been determined by God and God alone?
Surely if he remains "stiff-necked" it is because God sovereignly determined that he remains stiff necked?
And surely he can only "repent and turn" if God grants him repentance?
Or maybe this is NOT the Calvinist mouthpiece James White that is being quoted?
Hey Onesimus,
That's a good point about election, but Calvinist or otherwise, I was really supprised to hear James White thinks Camping is 'at the point of no return'. That's just something God knows, but we don't.

Did I read White correctly to state the man has a "chance" at salvation (and of course only one more chance left)?
... interesting ... "James White Gives camping One More Chance"
Yes, perhaps he counted 490 errors by Campling, so he's about to hit his last one.

Let's try that again.
Unless you read the version that it was really 77 times (Matt 18:22, NIV), which means that Camping's goose is cooked and White can't count.
Good point. That's why his number is up. :-)
God be with you,
Dan
