Anyway, one more day, he did this and was wrong in 1994, hopefully he will just stop after this one. i just feel sorry for the people who listen to him over clear scripture and ended up selling their houses, quitting jobs, running up debts like they did in 1994.

Which I completely understand and agree with. However, it's a different story when they use that as means to bring someone else over to Christianity.

It's nice if one has a reason to live (however irrealistic), but their reason should not be forced upon others who do not share the same beliefs, as many are doing.

Now that I think of it, Christians are the only religious people that have attempted to convert me. Not that this is representative of anything, just an observation.

Christianity is bound by religious edict to do so; that is, it is a function of their belief system that they're required to spread the word of the "Gospel" (meaning "good news"), to others who do not already know. Their religious leaders throughout the ages have traditionally interpreted this to mean proselytizing (conversion from another religion) those of other faiths:

What Does the Bible Say About Sharing the Gospel?

By Lesley Barker, eHow Contributor One of the reasons that the Europeans gave for colonizing Africa, Asia, and the Americas was to share the Gospel. Sometimes this biblical injunction was taken to violent extremes as in the conquests of the Aztecs or the Crusades. Other times it was done in the spirit of humility and spread education, salvation, and increasing freedoms, especially for women and slaves. So, just what does the Bible say about sharing the Gospel?
Identification

The word "Gospel" means "good news." In a nutshell, most Christians believe that the essence of the Gospel is summed up in one verse, John 3:16. God loved the world. God sent his son, Jesus, and he was his "only begotten" son. Anyone who believes in Jesus gets eternal life. By implication, believing in Jesus means to accept the biblical assertion that Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died vicariously, rose from the dead, ascended to heaven and will return for the believers.

Features

The Gospel is a message that includes many attributes and ideas. It is a message of salvation through faith in Jesus. It is a message of peace that proclaims that God has a heavenly kingdom which is spreading through the Gospel across the earth. The Gospel is also considered a mystery according to Ephesians 6:19. Colossians 1:5 says that the Gospel is the truth, and Colossians 1:23 says that it brings hope.

Significance

Preaching is the biblical means by which the message of the Gospel is to be spread. Paul considered that preaching the Gospel to the Gentiles was his "priestly duty" according to Romans 15:16. Just days before he died, Jesus declared that the Gospel will be preached throughout the entire world. It will be delivered to all the nations of the world before the world itself comes to an end. See Matthew 24:14. After Jesus rose from the dead, he commanded his disciples to share the Gospel. He said, "Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to all creatures." See Mark 16:15.

Effects

Sharing the Gospel through preaching is how the listeners come to the kind of faith which results in salvation according to Romans 10:16. Then, once the Gospel has motivated faith, it sets a standard of behavior. Paul exhorts the Philippians to live in such a way as to be "worthy" of the Gospel. See Philippians 1:27. However, if anyone dared to preach a different message, calling it the Gospel, Paul ascribed them to an eternal curse in Galatians 1:8.

Expert Insight

Perhaps the most famous preacher of the Gospel was Paul. He considered the task his duty, and called it work. Even though he did not accept payment for sharing the Gospel, he defended the rights of other preachers who did in 1 Corinthians 9:14. He even accepted the difficulties of being arrested and taken as a prisoner to appeal to Caesar in Rome as only serving to "advance" the sharing of the Gospel. He decided that he had been taken to Rome to defend the Gospel. See Philippians 1:17

He was wrong once before and didnt use those excuses, rather he blamed it on his own error in his calculations. Im sure he will do the same this time or maybe he will just accept that he is just a man and the bible says no man will know the hour.

You should read this

2 Peter 3:3-10

3Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

4And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

5For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

6Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

7But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

8But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

9The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

10But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

Thats why i hate it when people date set. i only hope he doesn't inadvertently destroy the faith of some Christians through his pride and hardheadedness .
