Book Description

1974
Can we know with complete accuracy the time table of the past all the way back to Adam and the creation of the earth? This book presumes to do this, utilizing the very safe principle that the Bible is infallible in all that it says. Once the Bible is properly understood, it becomes a fountainhead of truth which can help dramatically in understanding many puzzling and often unsolvable mysteries in the scientific evidence.

1.0 out of 5 stars this book contains many lies and deception, burn it, October 23, 2011
The basis of this book is NOT the Holy Bible, although its author disputes that. The author is Harold Camping, president and general manager of Family Radio (also known as Family Stations).

The basis of this book is secular. The book hinges on what the author describes as "the timeline" or the "biblical" calendar of history.

If you use the Bible only, then you can NOT validate the "biblical" calendar of history. Some people say "if you start with 931 B.C....", but how would you know that year if you used the Bible only? You wouldn't. Yet it is so natural to think this way.

The Gregorian calendar is not biblical; no man-made calendar is biblical. If you add the Gregorian calendar to the Bible (even just a little bit...just one tiny date), then you are in violation of Revelation 22:18. It really is that simple. There are no B.C. or A.D. dates in the Bible; nor can you arrive at such dates without ADDING something to the Bible.

We are seeing one of the dangers of adding to God's Word. How can anyone deny the many proofs and coincidences? What really happens when we add to God's Word...even when we think it is justified? Perhaps "miraculous" things happen...things that would lead us to believe that what we have done is the right thing.

"Adam When?" was preceded by "The Biblical Calendar of History" and "The Perfect Harmony of the Numbers of the Hebrew Kings", and several other books written by Harold Camping. The foundation of "Adam When?" includes the books mentioned above. If you read these books, you will notice that many non-biblical sources were used to write them.

This author writes books incrementally, and then he writes later books that are based on his prior books. The result is a cascade of lies and deception that is not fully realized by the reader until his final books. One of his later books is called Time Has an End: A Biblical History of the World 11,013 B.C. - 2011 A.D.. In this book, the author aggressively and emphatically taught that Christ would return and Judgment Day would begin on May 21, 2011; and that the end of the world would occur on October 21, 2011. He continued to teach these lies even after May 21, 2011.

Do not get trapped into reading this author's earlier books. He uses his earlier books as his basis for later books like "Time Has An End". His logic and reasoning and analytical approach to studying the Bible has led many people astray.

When we add to God's Word, terrible things happen.

When we take away from God's Word, terrible things happen.

When we mix the understanding of mankind with the Holy Scriptures, terrible things happen.

Some people elevate the "biblical" calendar of history to the same level as the Bible itself. The calendar has become their idol. Without the calendar, the Bible loses much of its meaning. Almost every teaching from these folks features a date as its focus. It seems that without a date, a "study" is incomplete.

"Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry." (1 Corinthians 10:14)

"Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!" (Ezekiel 13:3)

"But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ." (2 Corinthians 11:3)

"That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;" (Ephesians 4:14)

5.0 out of 5 stars Making sense out of history, July 10, 2005
By

This review is from: Adam When? A Biblical Solution to the Timetable of Mankind (Paperback)
An extremly interesting book. Camping has done an excellent job of showing the correlation between the Bible and secular history. Many Bible passages are shown to give us a definate pathway to the beginning of time, a task no one else has seemed to do accurately. Most Christians have followed Archbishop Usher's timeline, but his dates just don't make sense. Camping shows us a fresh and very Biblical way to determining the timeline of our existance. A must read for anyone interested in history, creation and even evolution.
