Camping's public repentance: he acknowledged he should never have predicted the end; Mike grants measured respect for this

End of the World Predictions and Why They're Wrong 00:32:23 – 00:32:55

After October 21 also passed, Camping issued a genuine-sounding retraction.

Camping said people wrote to him with warnings from 'no man knows the day or the hour' and he should have listened. Mike gives him credit for this repentance but calls everything leading up to it 'utter folly and ridiculousness' — like 'a fly in the ointment' that spoils the good things he also did. Reference to Ecclesiastes-style wisdom: 'a little folly to one who is known for wisdom.'

Is Free Will “Another” Gospel?

What is the problem? It is common for Calvinists to argue that humanity can’t have free will because free will would necessitate a salvation based on works. Although the Bible does not make this claim, people have been subject to unfair accusations of heresy by overly zealous Calvinists.
