Selective reading 2012 doomsday Prophets ?

Question

If we are to take they are right about the end of the world and that Nostradamus gave the date as 21 December 2012 why do they never in the movie mention the lines on the page before where it is mentioned. Ireland will sink ten years to the day before the end of the world? Which if you go on their time line Ireland should have sunk into the Atlantic on 21 December 2002.

Do any of the people who believe this doomsday stuff think Ireland has sunk?

Answer 1

Just a bunch of entertaining science fiction. Like Star Wars. Fun, but fantasy.

Answer 2

No I think it is rumors that have been passed down and twisted each time it is told!

Answer 3

I dont believe and it will never happen

Answer 4

Nostradamus has had such a laugh over the years. He wrote that stuff, tongue in cheek, and in a method that could 'line up' with just about anything you want to patch it on.

Now Old Testament Prophets, those were the guys....IF they wanted to 'prophesy' they were only allowed 100% accuracy. Anything less and they were stoned to death.

Old Nostro, beat the system in another way, all his 'predictions' were AFTER his death.

Answer 5

2012 is a hoax.You can interpret nostradamus to correlate with whatever you want it to. 2012 is based on the old cycle of the mayan calender ending on this day and the new one beginning.They were great astronomers however terrible prophets.

Its all a load of c**p there is just a whole lot of gullible people who buy into this c**p and the crackpots make lots and lots of money from the gullible folks.

Answer 6

Selective reading is a favorite method of these scare mongers.

Ever since the 6/6/6 (June 6, 2006) End of the World scenario did not pan out, the scare mongers have been touting the 2012 End of the World scenario. When 2012 does not happen either, I am sure they will think of something else.

"But of that day or hour, no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be watchful! Be alert! You do not know when the time will come." (Mark 13:32-33)

Jesus told us in no uncertain terms that we were not to know when the end of the world would come but that we were always to be ready.

Each new Christian denomination seems to worry about the end of the world a bit too much. Then after a couple of centuries, they realize that there are always wars and rumors of wars, etc.

I won't even mention the hundreds of false predictions of the end of the world over the centuries, all of which were based on individual interpretations of biblical prophecies.

The early Christian Church thought that Jesus was going to return at any moment. Only after a couple of centuries did the Church realize that it may be 2,000 or 4,000 or 8,000 years before Jesus returns.

The Catholic Church wisely follows Jesus' advice and teaches that each of us should live as if we will meet our maker in the next ten minutes and that we need to work to make the world a better place for our 100 X great-grandchildren.

Do not worry about the end of the world. Trust God to make sure everthing happens to plan. Just be ready to meet God at any time.
