The end of the protestant heresy

This may open old wounds

This is a prophecy by Nostradamus

The Catholic Church will be seen shinning
And honored
Masses will be said in Holland and picardy
In Switzerland religion will change when the
Great king dies

Nostradamus discribes the end of the protestant heresy
By mentioning the precise geographical
Areas connected directly to the
Life of Calvin
John Calvin founder of protestism in France
Was born in noyon in picardy in 1509
And died in Geneva 1564
In 1534 he retired to Strasbourg then to
Basle
In this town he finished his book in 1535
At the same time he occupied himself with propagating his doctrine
He corresponded with France the Netherlands
Scotland England Poland

Back then if you had mass in these areas
You would have been killed

Protestant heresy???? Its not very Christian to criticise brothers in Christ.

Not to mention the millions of murders at the hands of the Catholic church, just for owning a Bible or being an atheist.
Then there were the dark ages, also the inquisition and the crusades. All Christians get the blame for this. The Catholic church has a lot to answer for.

Woweee, someone wants to go down in flames buddy.

Speaking as a Catholic myself, I'd say there is still a LOT of rot to be removed from the Catholic church before anyone even thinks about taking it seriously any more.

Nostradamus was not always right you know....

a reply to: piney

At least you are aware that Catholics are Christians....
many ATS members don't accept that FACT.

Nevertheless -
"heresy" is a totally man-made construct related to man-made "religious" doctrines.

None of any of the "rules" books are true or accurate.

Happy New Year.
Explore the world while you're still present upon it.

You need to work a lot harder Piney.....failing on every level here mate!

Oh boy... who brought the popcorn?

What was their heresy again?

Refusal to submit to the pope?

And refusal to pray to "saints"?

Something along those lines if I recall?

Both kinda seem heretical to me, but what do I know

Looking forward to the show...

Of course he was. 100% accurate, in retrospect. If you play with the words enough.

'Sometime before the end of the world, some fulla will do stuff that will make everyone notice and a nuclear bomb might go off'

Look!, I'm a prophet too

I agree, just like most modern 'prophets'

Word play.

Making nonsense into something remotely legible.

I got cheese popcorn! Gimme a minute and I'll fix some buttered.

Why do religions put down others who are not worshiping God "right? And who told them they had it right to begin with?

The Bible is much more than a few rules. It explains the supernatural in ways no other book does. I hated it, but once I started trying to understand it, it blew me away. Please dont ridicule me for that. It just fits well with my world view. It never did.
I agree though, explore the world. I have and still am, its utterly beautiful in more ways than be imagined.

No great prophetic skills were necessary to describe as Protestant " the precise geographical areas" which were already Protestant at the time when Nostradamus was writing.
If you think that was a sign of his wonderful powers, you are very easily impressed.

BTW, HAPPY NEW YEAR YOU SEXY PEOPLE!!!

It's 2016 here!!

"Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live" - Exodus 22:18.

"... they practiced divination and sought omens and sold themselves to do evil in the eyes of the LORD, arousing his anger" - 2 Kings 17:17.

"Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft" - Deuteronomy 18:10.

"He... practiced divination, sought omens, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the eyes of the LORD, arousing his anger" - 2 Kings 21:6.

"For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance like the evil of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, he has rejected you as king" - 1 Samuel 15:23.

"Do not practice divination or seek omens" - Leviticus 19:26.

"The nations you will dispossess listen to those who practice sorcery or divination. But as for you, the LORD your God has not permitted you to do so" - Deuteronomy 18:14.

"You, LORD, have abandoned your people, the descendants of Jacob. They are full of superstitions from the East; they practice divination like the Philistines and embrace pagan customs" - Isiah 2:6.

I'm pretty sure Nostradamus was on the other team.

Now thats creepy.

If a time comes when being Christian and non-Catholic becomes a crime, don't expect to be happy. Forced one-world religion is a sign f the End Times. Maybe you can all band together Catholicism and Islam, and be one big unhappy family. The current and former popes seemed to like that idea.

Or, maybe you could adapt a Christian stance, listen to the Bible over the words of some dead guy, and get something right.

Catholics are Christians.
