First Principles of Bible Study by Harold Camping. Published by Family Stations, Inc., 1986) . Reviewed and critiqued by Pastor McShaffrey.
The booklet, First Principles of Bible Study (Published by Family Stations, Inc., 1986), was written to provide students of the Bible with the basic principles needed to read and understand the Word of God.
The author, Harold Camping, is the President of Family Stations Inc. and his ministry reaches into nearly every country of the world by means of radio, literature, television, and Internet.
Mr. Camping was once an Elder in the Christian Reformed Church and has held to many of the basic tenets of the Calvinist tradition. In his teaching, the authority of the Bible, the depravity of man, and salvation by grace alone have been stressed.
His ministry has been blessed by God and many, including myself, have been brought to faith through his teaching.
Nevertheless, Mr. Camping is presently leading as many away from the Church as he had initially led to Christ. His erroneous teachings are threatening the spiritual health and well-being of the blood bought Bride of Christ.
Jesus once posed this question to a bunch of religious people: “What do you think about the Christ? Whose Son is he?” (Matthew 22:42)
How a person answers this question will determine whether they spend an eternity in heaven or in hell.
These two sermons were preached by Pastor McShaffrey as part of his recent series “Growing in Grace” in order to help the saints understand, identify, and avoid heretics.
