End of world prediction false
Press release: 18 May 2011
End of world prediction
false
New Zealand Christian Network rejects a claim by
an American preacher that the world will end on 21
May.
The prediction has been made by Harold Camping, the head of a group of Christian radio stations based in California.
NZ Christian Network National Director Glyn Carpenter says any prediction which gives a specific time or date of the end of the world is contrary to standard Christian belief, and Mr Camping does not represent orthodox Christian faith.
However, we should take note of recent events, both in New Zealand and overseas, that life and material possessions are not as secure or permanent as many think, and it is good to think about the bigger questions of life.
New Zealand Christian Network is a broad-spectrum network of churches and Christian leaders, with a Board of Reference that includes leaders from all the main denominations. It seeks to present a biblically orthodox position on issues, reflecting the views of the majority of Christians in New Zealand.
