Quote by Harold Camping, excerpt from
The offer of God's love, the Gospel, with its command to mankind to believe on Christ, is sent forth into all the world. But no man of his own volition will respond to it. Rather, in his lusting after sin he will do all that he can to silence and reject it. The deadness of man is so succinctly outlined in Romans 3:10-20 and Ephesians 2:1-3. There is none that seeketh after God, we read in Romans 3:11. Man is as spiritually dead as Lazarus was physically dead after his body had decayed in the tomb for 4 days. No wonder the Bible declares in John 6:44, No one can come to Me except the Father draw him. No man is able to come because he is spiritually dead.
Summary
This quote explains the concept of the Gospel, or God's offer of love and salvation, being sent to all mankind. However, it states that no one will naturally respond to this offer because of their inherent sinful nature and inclination to reject it. The quote references biblical passages such as Romans 3:10-20 and Ephesians 2:1-3 to highlight the spiritual deadness of man and their inability to seek after God or come to Him without the drawing of the Father. In short, it suggests that man's spiritual deadness and sinfulness prevent him from responding to God's love without divine intervention.
