God said no more then 40 lashes, Mr. Camping believes this is to be used to mean that there is a limit on all forms of punishment no matter what the crime/sin is, it does not necessarily mean you should be beaten 40 times with a wet noodle because you stole an apple. BUT what this is being used for is to say there is no eternal damnation in hell.
Deuteronomy 25:2-3
2 And it shall be, if the wicked man be worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to his fault, by a certain number.
3 Forty stripes he may give him, and not exceed: lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should seem vile unto thee.
