Truth, especially where scripture is concerned is subjective truth, truth to the individual that believes it. If it were objective truth then it would be truth for all and not some regardless of their belief.
Within the framework of the Earths religions, each has their own truths. Sometimes they agree with other religions and sometimes they are diametrically opposed to other religions. Who is to say which truth is the truth especially when each of the believers in their religion will declare they have the truth and the others don't.
Nostradamus' predictions have never been shown to be accurate and each generation has been able to show how his predictions were aimed at the time they lived in and so it is no different now. Attempts to use what Nostradamus has written to bolster a specific religious view does not give any accurate results and never will.
A discussion generally requires opposing viewpoints. That said, if you post on a discussion board, someone with an opposing view replies and you do not understand why they have posted, then you may not understand the concept of a discussion board.
If you wish to post with no discussion then a couple of options spring to mind. Either post on a board where everyone has the exact same view as you or start a blog where you can moderate or eliminate any comments that might be in direct opposition to what you have written.
Sensible Logic,
Your logic suggests man always understood there to be the existence of creatures such as the Mountain Gorilla yet men did not believe they existed though the locals knew of them for centuries, what was the Truth here?
The objective of Truth is to separate the Wheat from the Tare, the healed from the sick, those who are of the light from those who are of the dark. It is the Sword designed to cut, not appease.
You associate Truth with a 'specific religious view' yet you must have a 'View' to perceive anything in life. One can associate the monitoring of the stars with astronomy, that does not make all who look up to the night sky astronomers.
Also, the purpose of discussion boards is quite clear to this writer, thank you for efforts in providing clarity but it is not needed.
You must know we are having a discussion with opposing views even now? It is quite clear why you post and the answer is given to those who simply seek Truth, while even those who hate the light deep down know very well those things of the Spirit.
To dismiss what the Spirit has given Nostradamus does not make it any less true, but thank for your sensible discussion on the matter.
