That's something to protest. <br /><br />But transubstantiation is what David must have been referring to when he said the water gotten at the peril of his men's lives was their blood. Then there is Jeremiah eating God's words, and doing the Father's will being meat for Jesus, as were the Canaanites for Israel.

Instead of disappearing ...The invisible rapture:<br /><br /> Instead of disappearing and being changed in the twinkling of an eye, Camping changed the way he sees his invincible date, or doesn't, as he said yesterday that he now understands that Saturday was an "invisible" judgment day (what' the number for invisible?) yet the final destruction of the world will still occur on October 21st. Of course, unlike the real judgment day, that too is subject to change, as calculations contrive. <br /><br />Fropm -http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2011/05/harold_camping_may_21_judgment_day_end_still_coming.html :<br /><br />We've always said October 21 was the day," Camping said during his show. "The only thing we didn't understand was the spirituality of May 21. We're seeing this as a spiritual thing happening rather than a physical thing happening. The timing, the structure, the proofs, none of that has changed at all."<br /><br />But this time, Camping isn't going to be campaigning for donations and encouraging warnings. He says God's judgment was completed on Saturday so there's no reason to continue warning people. His Family Radio network will now just play Christian music and regular programs from now until October 21.<br /><br />"We're not going to be passing out tracts," Camping said. "We're not going to put up any more billboards. We're not going to be advertising in any way. The world has been warned. We did our little share and the media picked it up. But now the world has been told, it's under judgment."<br />-------------------------------------------------------<br />The prediction that May 21 fulfilled is that "of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them."
