via_dolorosa,

It appears you haven't really grasped what "Sola Scriptura" is.

Harold Camping, for example, can't really be accused of violating the principle of "Sola Scriptura" because he isn't using any 'outside source' to formulate his atrocious predictions. He claims to be using the Bible alone as his source. His problem is a hermeneutical issue. The Dispensationalists also have a hermeneutical problem, one being among many, that they use a 'psycho-statistical-mean' method of interpreting texts. They then use current news to corroborate their doctrine.

Both are woefully in error and in the case of Camping, it boggles the mind that he has gone so far afield and that he has such a large following. (Matt 7:14; 24:11-13; 1Cor 11:19; 2Pet 2:1) It is one thing to read of these things in Church History books but an entirely different matter to witness them in one's own time.
