Chris McCann of eBible Fellowship said the world would end on October 7. Sadly, for him, we’re all still here.

“Since it is now October 8th it is now obvious that we were incorrect regarding the world’s ending on the 7th,” he wrote in a statement sent to the many reporters who had reached out to him about his prediction…

“There was much biblical information pointing to this date and we freely shared it with all. Yet, consistently stressing throughout the entire time period that the world ending on that date was a ‘strong likelihood,’ ” he wrote

Oct. 8 was not McCann’s first trip back into the world after it was supposed to end: In 2011, he promoted “Family Radio” host Harold Camping’s prediction that judgement day would come May 21 of that year. Camping then said he was wrong about May, but continued to believe that God’s judgement would likely come in October of that year.

    Won’t make a bit of difference, because there’s a Get Out Of Jail Free card in Deuteronomy 18: if a prophecy fails, it wasn’t the prophecy that failed, it was the guy that delivered it.

    As he laughs all the way to the bank again

    For the record:

    Deuteronomy
    18:17 And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.
    18:18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
    18:19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
    18:20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that
    prophet shall die.
    18:21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?
    18:22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken
    it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.

      They don’t know anything about prophets, just profits. Tax-free.

      as one who fully qualifies as a
      PROPHET
      OF
      GOD
      (sunrise/sunset)
      I agree with the scriptures you have quoted (like I really have a choice?)
      I have often warned people of WEARING MIXED FIBERS as they once did in Sodom and her sister cities on the plains,

      better to go through life BUTT NAKED than to wind up dressed in mixed fibers on judgement day.

      the end of the world will come when it comes. Worrying about it, planning for it and/or hoping or not doesn’t alter that time one ioda.

      DON’T WORRY (ta da de dupedy dupe dupe)
      BE HAPPY

    What’s that? Edible Fellowship? They can eat me.

    Longest running scam known to man, two thousand years plus and going strong.

    • The Original Just Me October 10th, 2015 at 23:45

      Next week, I promise.

  6. Warman1138 October 10th, 2015 at 15:36

    He’s got it posted on his hat so it must be true. (eyes roll to the top, brain shuts down, waiting for reboot )

      Damn, that means we are going to have to send out more donation request letters.

    Relying on Biblical scripture for determining the exact date of Armageddon is ridiculous.
    Everyone knows that you need to read tea leaves to make that type of prognostication.

    • Pat Padrnos October 10th, 2015 at 17:15

      Alas – that was my mistake!!

    • nola878 October 10th, 2015 at 17:21

      Ha! Heathen! Everyone knows the only sure divination is a Magic 8 Ball!

        Nuh-uh! Behold the wonder of the folded paper fortune teller!

    Jehovah’s witnesses & Fundamentalists et al still claim ‘any doors to heaven closed May 21, 2011 rapturing the 144,000 who were worthy.’ Face it dude. You and your ilk are debunked losers.

  9. allison1050 October 10th, 2015 at 16:48

    Do any reporters ever ask him what goes wrong with his predictions? :o)

  10. Pat Padrnos October 10th, 2015 at 17:14

    Well – darn!! Here we are again. I had plans but cancelled them. Sitting with my bags packed – and a sack of gold coins (thank you Glen Beck) just in case. Surely this can not be ANOTHER false alarm!! My poor heart is breaking!! Please stop toying with my affections!! Too much to bear!!

    • whatthe46 October 10th, 2015 at 19:01

      cruel and unusual punishment. all this back and forth.

  11. nola878 October 10th, 2015 at 17:24

    Wait…the world didn’t end? Oh boy, hangover’s gonna last me days. Just can’t do these apocalyptic three day drunks like I used to…

    • StoneyCurtisll October 10th, 2015 at 20:20

      Pray for my liver~!

  12. bpollen October 10th, 2015 at 18:50

    Great. Now I have to pay for that 4K TV I got early on the 7th…

  13. Chris October 10th, 2015 at 19:45

    The history of these prognosticators unfortunately shows that they continue to con their believers even though they’re manifestly wrong.

  14. robert October 10th, 2015 at 20:18

    Its not the religious prediction Its how much you can make before the deadline approaches $$$$

  15. StoneyCurtisll October 10th, 2015 at 20:19

    All this pastor needs is a little more ‘seed money” and he will get the end of the world date right..
    next time.

    I over slept than day, did I miss anything

  17. Mann T. October 10th, 2015 at 20:26

    It ended. Then began again where it left of without anyone noticing. It does that.

  18. Sea Stories October 11th, 2015 at 09:40

    I washed all my underwear for nothing.

  19. Foundryman October 11th, 2015 at 17:14

    The question is, how many of his “flock” turned over all their assets and wealth to him to ‘guarantee a ticket to heaven” on the 6th?

  20. rg9rts October 12th, 2015 at 06:33

    Judging by the near miss of the asteroid…he was close
