Was Nostradomus really a prophet or was his story twisted?

His "prophecies" are simply ambiguous poems that can only be applied through selective thinking of past events.\n\nDo yourself a favor and actually read Les Propheties.  You will see how his poems can be applied to many things because of their vagueness.

^Why not throw away all the foolish mythology  you mention and simply live like decent human beings?  \n\nNo, it is not true that most "prophets" speak of the things you mention.  Only the prophets you mention did.  Leave us not forget the other "prophets" whose legacy is not an organized religious strcuture, like Adolph Hitler, Charlie Manson, Aldous Huxley,  Machiaveli, and on and on. \n\nIt is truly sad that people have to rely on the words of others to figure how to deal with others and live there lives, don't  you think.

I'm not sure exactly what you said because I do not know Islam and the Quran well enough.\n\nHowever, I do get bent when Taimur keeps saying "Jesus the Prophet peace be unto him."\n\nEither you believe Jesus was God or you believe he was a lunatic or liar. What Jesus said about Himself left no room for middle ground.\n\nIt's illogical to call Jesus a prophet when He claimed to be God. He said He would take away the sin of the world. A mere man, even if a prophet, has no power to do this. Jesus claimed to be God.\n\nSo call Him God or call Him a liar or lunatic. Just quite with the false ecumenism by calling Him a prophet 'pbuh'

3rd or 4th-century document called "The Gospel of Judas" was launched upon an unsuspecting world yesterday by no less a biblical authority than the National Geographic magazine in Washington. Its contents were "explosive", according to Mario Roberty, president of the Swiss foundation which now owns the ancient papyrus manuscript. \n\nSo as the heat faded from the television lights at the press conference, has 2000 years of orthodox Christianity been overturned? Well, not quite. But it was all jolly interesting, for those who love that sort of thing.\n\nHalf of the 62-page codex, written in Coptic script, is devoted to an account of the final days of Jesus Christ written from the viewpoint of the man who has for two millennia been excoriated as Christ's deadly betrayer. The text begins: "The secret account of the revelation that Jesus spoke in conversation with Judas Iscariot three days before he celebrated Passover..."

It's hard to say. Many times when you take things like that out of context, they can lose a lot of their meaning. However, it seems to me that he was saying that he would send prophets to us to help show us the way.

No.  Nostradamus' predictions were very vague and could have meant anything.

He had some novel ideas about religion at his time, was raised to the level of a prophet by the government of Greece I think.  But honestly, if the same story was told today he would not amass a following.

Um, do you mean Jesus and Judas? You can read it for yourself at www.nationalgeographic.com. It is believed to be the work of gnostics, and not of Judas. A fairy tale.

Yes, the next Pope is the final Pope in St Malachi's prophecy, and it is believed he will either be the anti-Christ or be Pope during the time of the anti-Christ....\nDoubtful whether prophecy is true - St Malachi has been about as accurate as Nostradamus so far (i.e. not very accurate at all but the writing is so obtuse some people grasp at straws to believe)

no its not right and it keeps  going on and on because  there is a lot of money made on this lie.....and as for the bible...i kinda think stories were told .....a  little different than what really happened.........they got to control the people\nya  know!

NO!\nHe was crazy and so were his followers. All they had was hate for people and that is just wrong.

First of all, I think all this hype at Easter time about a supposedly hidden gospel, written by a major player in the crucifixion story is a little suspect....imagine......... television trying to get ratings...lol.\n\nOn the other hand, if it is an actual document recorded by people who had Judas' story handed down to them (like the four big gospels), I've always wondered if Judas actually imagined to the point of belief that HE was the center of bringing about the new government.  \n\nHe may have actually thought that Jesus was giving him some kind of signals to carry out the dirty work. He certainly hasn't been the last person to believe he was getting divine direction to commit a crime in the name of God. Especially if money was involved.\n\nAnd before anyone tries to defend Judas' actions or say that what Judas did was "God's will" and "part of The Plan", don't forget the Sanhedrin was determined to do away with Christ. They didn't have to have Judas.

I think Nostradamus was wrong more than people want to admit. I think people want to make what he has said to be true so they twist things to make them fit. He never did predicte that about the World Cup

After reading all the answers before mine, I am amazed at the people who answer this question without any knowledge of the Bible at all.  How can you answer without ever reading, let alone studying, the Bible?  It's downright dangerous and reveals ones ignorance.  This text is clearly Nostradamus.  It is not in the Bible, and the book of Revelation (the last book in the Bible) is a symbolic book of eschatology (end times). It was written by the Apostle John while exiled on the the Island of Patamos, NOT John the Baptist!\n\nAccording to Nostradamus the Eagle represents the United States and the Bear is Russia.  The quatrains have proved unreliable since most all of the interpretations and predicted dates have gone by as false and unfulfilled.

Never heard of it, but I live in Portugal (20 Km away from Lisbon) and I know they had an heartquake on the 18th century. Therefore, such prophecy is probably fake.

well, starting with Jesus lineage, it is not at all clear that he had the right bloodlines to fulfill the prophesies. I know that you are going to say that the Bible says he did, but it was written hundreds of years later, and there is more reason for doubt than there is evidence.\n\nDon't get me wrong, I do believe in him, and believe him. He said a lot of important things, and the world would be a better place if more people listened to what he said. But that does not mean that the Bible is the literal truth, or that prophesies are even possible. \n\nTaking that as a for-instance, why is it so important to you that certain events in the Bible were foretold? It was the subject of your question. Not that Jesus was right in what he said, but that, darn it, he fulfilled prophesies. I realize that magical soothsaying and fortunetelling is important to superstitious and non-monotheist people, but I've really never understood why Christians have embraced it. \n\nListen to the Word. Forget the magic.

I am not going to read such an absurd theory. But come on, has he done any research to see if such a huge body of water in that area of the world can freeze over?? Has he even read the story?? Most bible historians believe that it was the Sea of Galilee where this happened which is a HUGE body of water! The story also states that a huge storm occured during this , so wouldnt the hugh waves during the storm,pretty much break up all the frozen water?? Just another antheist trying to gain some ground for Satan!
