Re: Interfaith Dialogue (Prophets) - Islam and Christianity
Why I want a definition is that some people believe prophecy = telling the future = fortunetelling = only prediction of future events.
According to Christianity prophecy is a religious concept which go further than just telling what would happen in the future. It also means telling people how to live TODAY. It is being God’s voice on earth. Many many people according to this interpretation/definition are then prophets. Many of them even living today.
Many Christians do. According to me he might be. Problem with Nostradamus is that his “prophecies” are written in code making it difficult to say before the event what he predicted. Normally a prophet is very clear on what he say or predict and not scared what authorities will do/say. Nostradamus was scared and therefor wrote in code. I don’t know…he might be.
