May 21 <EDIT>isn't the rapture.

stevew · 05-05-2011, 11:05 PM

So the other day we were driving to Virginia and passed a caravan of RVs decked out with the end of the world prediction. Apparently there is some sort of traction to this movement? Anyone else seen these Yahoos?

My favorite part from wiki:

Quote:

According to Camping, the number five equals "atonement", the number ten equals "completeness", and the number seventeen equals "heaven".
Christ is said to have hung on the cross on April 1, 33 AD. The time between April 1, 33 AD and April 1, 2011 is 1,978 years.
If 1,978 is multiplied by 365.2422 days (the number of days in a solar year, not to be confused with the lunar year), the result is 722,449.
The time between April 1 and May 21 is 51 days.
51 added to 722,449 is 722,500.
(5 x 10 x 17)2 or (atonement x completeness x heaven)2 also equals 722,500.
Thus, Camping concludes that 5 x 10 x 17 is telling us a "story from the time Christ made payment for our sins until we're completely saved."

My wife and son will be at a wedding in North Carolina. This means I will likely be shitfaced at some dive bar and never know what hit me.

No no no. Read the website. You have until OCTOBER to finish the game. You will just have to play it in the midst of being hit by horrific natural and perhaps unnatural horrors. And apparently all these killer storms and waves of devastation will be spun by Jesus himself as he rules till October.

Now how in 2000 years Jesus will have gone from a peace loving hippie to a guy ruling over us like he is playing Sim City 2000, I will never know.

Easy Mac · 05-06-2011, 08:50 AM

They had some sort of revival for this at a baptist church down here not too long ago. It was shortly after Kirk Cameron came to speak. Coincidence?

Also, I hope its this Rapture that returns. Their more recent stuff is not up to snuff.

But, but, but, but. . . he just made a minor mathematical miscalculation. THIS TIME HE IS RIGHT.

The numbers I posted above are 100% logical and you don't have to be a mathematician to check the numbers and see he's on point this time.

Like you've never made a little miscalculation that causes the end of times to happen 27 years after you first thought it would. Sheesh.

Part of me wants to like him. Really, I do. But he continues to completely fail as a brother in Christ in what he promotes. There was a "debate" with him and another Christian against atheists and he said they were going to prove Christianity with only using science. In their opening argument, no less, they instantly went against the rules of the debate and continued to stumble along all the way through the debate and ended up proving nothing scientifically and being left with it being a faith issue. The atheists pretty much had to do nothing since he and his partner brought so little to the table.

His wife is really attractive though.

Critch · 05-06-2011, 03:22 PM

The (5*10*17)2 bit looks made up to me. Where did they get the squared from?

I'm going for cubed to match with the three dimensions that were created. So by my rough estimate nothing happens until July 8th in the year 1,681,418. bit early to start a cult.

There are some 'interesting' videos around the net of him discussing that God obviously exists and using bananas as proof of this, after all they're designed exquisitely for human consumption apparently .... ignore of course that as with most fruits and suchlike its been changed and 'bred' to our preference over quite a while.

Yep. Just did a search on it and he came up. Kirk also starred in the Left Behind series that let's just say theologically was lacking.

I really don't know what to make of Kirk other than he seems fake about the whole thing. Kind of like how Tom Cruise is only a level 99 whatever Thetan for the Scientologists because of his celebrity status.

The banana theory of Ray's is hilarious. He still doesn't realize that the bananas we buy in the store today, did not exist a hundred or so years ago.

I was 15 years old and probably in my bedroom crying about the baseball strike. At the time, I probably thought the world had ended.

fantom1979 · 05-09-2011, 01:40 PM

I googled Sept, 4th 1994 and found a NFL box score for that day:

Houston Oilers at Indianapolis Colts - September 4th, 1994 - Pro-Football-Reference.com

Marshal Faulk ran for 143 yards and 3 touchdowns in his first NFL game. The Colts beat the Oilers 45 to 21 despite only 105 yards from Jim Harbaugh.
