Harold's Big Announcement

Like the great prophet Zarquon*, I'm slightly late to the end of the world, but still, no one has put this out there yet:

Deuteronomy 18:20-22 (New International Version)²⁰ But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, is to be put to death.”
 ²¹ You may say to yourselves, “How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the LORD?” ²² If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously, so do not be alarmed.

Harold Camping needs to stop with the specific dates right now. Atheists are not needed to disabuse him and his followers - conventional, scriptural Christianity is perfectly capable of judging false prophets.


(On the question of whether 'bible interpretation' is prophecy, I say yes, you presume to prophesy when you say the Bible says something it does not plainly say.


PPS.  Readership Lunatic Fringe - this is an Old Testament Law.  Jesus died for Harold Camping.)
