Iron Sharpens Iron: Harold Camping Debates Dr. James White

Well the Debate that I never thought I'd see has happened. Harold Camping (left) agreed to debate James White (right) on his teachings on the radio show Iron Sharpens Iron. They debated Tuesday and Wednesday and then had callers call to talk to Dr. White on Thursday. And then callers talked to Camping On Friday. I thought that maybe the best way to report on it to break it up by days providing links to the mp3 files and commenting on each one.


Part 1 - July 28, 2009
By far, I think that this was the best of the four days. There was real interaction and real back and forth between the two. Unfortunately for Camping, he failed to be able to defend his teachings that the Church age is over God is no longer using churches, his due date for Christ's return in May, 2011, and demonstrated that he has embraced anihilism and modalism. Camping is way more heretical than I thought he was.

Part 2 - July 29, 2009
Day 2 had no interaction between the two at all. It was almost like Camping just ignored that Dr. White was even there. Camping just presented his teaching for why he says the thing he says and ignored White's rebuttals.

Part 3 - July 30, 2009
Day 3 was where James White was alone on the show and accepting questions from listeners. I thought that questions were almost pointless - most of them. I'm surprised by the fact most of the people seemed to side against Dr. White. I was aghast. They didn't want to really throw full support to Camping but they seemed unwilling to throw him under the bus either. I kept thinking, did these people hear the same debate I did?

Part 4 - July 31, 2009
Day 4 was where Harold Camping was on Iron harpens Iron alone to answer questions that peoplehave concerning his exchange with James White. I was amazed. It was like he hadn't heard anything Dr. White had said. Instead He really just re-said everything he had said. One of the thing that stuck out at me is that he says that we can date Noah's ark to 4490 BCE, but he never explained how he go that date. Ther other problem I had that ecause he thinks that there is no church anymore. that God is no longer holding us to some of the same standards of fellowship and thinking that it is for us to know the date of Jesus' second coming. I'm concern because Camping really thinks he is right and seems to have no clue what people are saying to him when they try to correct him.
