End of the world prophecy or is it?

Well goodevening guys. I just got back from a school party and I had the best time and I just don't feel like sleeping. So tomorrow the world ends for all unbelievers. Well according to scripture it isnt going to end tomorrow. How do I know? Because the Bible itself tells you it isnt. Let's look at a few scriptures to support my conclusion. First off, if we look at matthew 24:36 it clearly states Jesus saying that he himself knows the time or place. If Jesus didn't know what makes you think that we human beings could ever know? Second these "so called Christians" clain to know the time and place. If this is true they make Jesus a liar. Because if he didn't know and said only God knows and a human being knows Jesus lied to us. And since Jesus being God incarnate he cannot lie so this is a sin right off the bat.

Second these people are being headed by a man (whose name right now alludes me) who predicted the same thing in 1994 september.  We here we are 16 years later. Come on! Who is going to believe the guy who got it wrong already? And secondly if your a Christian who would you rather believe Christ who never lies and died for your sins. Or some guy who got it wrong already and didn't do jack for you? I think I will stick to Jesus.


If Jesus the son of God come tomorrow. Praise the Lord glory to his name! But if he doesn't I won't be disappointed but I know that it wasn't going to happen anyway.


My ending thoughts: MAN CANNOT KNOW WHEN CHRIST RETURNS YOUR NOT GOD!!! INSTEAD OF SEEKING THE END OF LIFE AS WE KNOW IT YOU  SHOULD BE SEEKING GOD INSTEAD OF DEATH!!!!!

Cashcrate.

Hey since I am behind schedule today in everything I decided to just blog about Cashcrate today. So let's begin!



Cashcrate is a website that allows you to make money in a variety of ways. 

1. Surveys and offers. These are the most common way users make money. You do online surveys that give you a set amount. For example if a survey costs .80.80 cents that is how much you earn for completing said survey. Most surveys they have are $0.80 cents. Now the great thing about these surveys is that they are daily and there is about 7 daily surveys. So you can make $5.60 a day just by using the surveys and if you do them seven days a week. You can make around 10 to 20 dollars. Now offers are the same as surveys usually require you to sign up for stuff. The payout ranges from 0.10 to 100.00. And there is hundreds of offers to do so do at least 25 a day you are bound to make some cash.

2. Video rewards are something new basically you get money for watching videos. Payout is about 2 to 5 cents. Not much so watch around 6 videos to make some money.

3. Shopping is another way some companies are tied with cashcrate so if you buy their product they give you a certain percentage of cashback. Depends on the company.

4. Search and get paid! That is right you heard it you search stuff on the internet and get paid. You can search ten things a day and get money for it!


5. Referrals. Refferals are the best way to make cash on cashcrate. All you have to do is reffer someone to the site using your very own refferal code and that is it. Once that person starts making money you get 20% of what they make! And that is not all if that person reffers someone you get 10% off of them! So all you have to do is reffer a lot of people on cashcrate and watch the money flow.

Well that's a wrap!

Anywhow we finished the how do we know Christianity is true series! Horay!!! Anyway I enjoyed doing it and I am glad you enjoyed it. So I wish everyone learned something from it. I encourage you to get aquainted with each thought of each philosopher and see which works best for you. I personally find alvin plantinga model is the best. Also it leads us into an argument against naturalism. I will blog about that next time so most of all I encourage you to get fimiliar with the terminology used in Plantinga's model because I will be using the same terminology in his argument.

So I like to discuss for today things going on with my life. So let's begin!

Well as some of you know I am complex guy I like all sorts of things mostly philosophy of religion all the way to economics. I been reading and been trying to learn economics. How the economy works which works better capitalism or communism, what is inflation, deflation etc. I really enjoy it. I also like politics a lot. Some say they would vote for me for president but I don't think I would do a good job. As someone special always says to me. Yeah she doesn't think I would do a good job. Speaking of her I might as well tell you how is it going with her. Man I am so in love with this girl. She is the most amazing person I have ever meant. I makes me sad that I could never be with her. No matter what I do or say or wish. Since she doesn't feel the same way. But sometimes I don't know I feel as if love was mutual between us. Some innner concious is telling me don't give up. But I have to give up soon. As you see I plan on moving from the United states. I am going back to my mom's country Nicaragua. I will move around this time next year. I see she doesn't want me to go but doesn't give it to much thought because I still have a long time before it does. Only time would tell how she will feel when the time is here to get my things and leave. I will miss her though she has been the only girl to make me feel this good in a long time. Only if she told me stay I don't want you to leave I won't leave. Even if they paid me a million dollars. That is how much money I would pay just to see what she really feels about me. Does she love me? Likes me more than a friend? Loves me just like a friend? Does she feel confused? Even if she feels confused about her feelings at least that is something. Gosh what I would give for her to be mine!

So yes I am leaving next year. Economic reasons are a majority. Plus something emotional issues. My resolve is set. Anyway I have been debating my friend Livingstone morgan on facebook. The topic is ID or Theistic evolution. My collegue is the former while I am the latter. The debate is friendly and interesting and he is a hell of a debator. He has a blog called Biotalk so go check him out. Besides that, my life has been swell or treating me kindly. Plus the 400 to 2000 mg of caffeine taken in a month keeps me going. Haha! Oh well next time we will discuss the argument against naturalism.

I have been busy sorry!

So I have been busy lately trying to figure out college, SAT etc. I have also been planning on moving from the US this time next year. As to the current economic situation in the U.S I am afraid the country might get worse if the goverment does not take the appropiate actions. But anywho lets discuss the final thinker Alvin plantinga.


Alvin calls this the reformed epistemology model. This is how the model works (keep in mind I will try to break it down to as simple as I can put it) . Alvin plantinga argues that belief in God is wholly warranted without evidence.. He objects to the evidentialist criteria that a belief to be justified must either have some evidence or be foundational to knowledge. Since God is not foundational to knowledge this belief must require evidence. But Plantinga asks why can't God be part of this foundation so that no evidence is needed? But only properly basic beliefs can be part of the foundation. What is a properly basic belief? In simple terms are beliefs we hold without any evidence and are completely reasonable to believe. For example self evident and incorrigible beliefs are properly baisc. An example of a self evident belief would be the sum of two square of the two sides of the right triangle must equal the square of the hypotenuse. This is self evident. An incorrigible belief would be I feel pain. There is no evidence I can show that I feel pain but it is correct because I am the one who can feel my pain. So this renders it properly basic. Now this is correct that these two would be properly basic. But Plantinga argues how do we know if these are the two only properly basic beliefs? In other words are these two types of criteria only qualify to be properly basic? If it is than we are unreasonable in believing most of the things in our lives. For example take the belief that the world wasnt created five minutes with a apperance of age. Obviously this belief isnt self evident or incorrigible so it must require some justification that is to say evidence. But obviously it is reasonable to think that the world has existed for a while. So something must be wrong with this criteria. Plantinga argues that belief in God can be properly basic. Man has innate capacity to apprehend the existence of God given the right circumstances. This is called sensus divintatis. Let me explain. God has design us that we form belief in him naturally. This is how it works. When our cognitive faculties (belief forming mechanisms) are in their appropiate circumstances one can form a properly basic belief in God. One a person sees God handiwork in nature or feels some guilt in sinning etc. He naturally forms a belief in God because his belief forming mechanism were in the appropiate circumstances. To give a analogy lets say you see a tree. Your in the right place to see the tree and your belief forming mechanisms form a belief in the tree existence. The existence of the tree is not inferred but it is properly basic. Your in the appropiate circumstances so you naturally form a belief in the tree's existence. So this is the same way man forms belief in God the same way man forms a belief through perception.

So I guess you can call it being in the right place at the right time. Does this mean anyone can form a belief in anything and be justified? No. If someone claims to have a belief in some deity his cognitive falculties had to be in the appropiate circumstances. If the belief in question was in the inappropiate circumstances than the belief is unjustified. Than the evidentialist cannot just include only inffered propositons but also properly basic propositions. Plantinga also wants us to note that properly basic beliefs cannot be doubted. That is to say in the presence of some defeater the belief can be abandoned. For example lets say the Christian who faces the problem of evil. Now he has a defeater for his belief in God. But Plantinga argues that sometimes the belief has so much warrant it destroys all defeaters to it. To explain this let me give a scenario. Let's say a criminal has been presented evidence that shows he committed the crime. But he knows he didn't it. Should he abandon his belief in his innocence to accept the evidence? No he is justified in believing in his innocence.  Even though he has no evidence to prove this. So Plantinga argues that if the belief in question can produced sufficient warrant we can know God exists. So this is how it drops to in the end. Plantinga believes that if your cognitive faculties are functioning properly in the appropiate circumstance in the enviroment God designed them to you can know God exists. What does it mean to function properly? Well in order to be functioning properly they have to be in the appropiate circumstances. And in order to be in the appropiate circumstances you have to be in an appropiate enviroment to form such a belief. And if one holds this belief firmly enough one can produce sufficient warrant that it constitutes knowledge. So that is how we know God exists.

But what about Christian beliefs? Plantinga argues that the Holy Spirit is too a cognitive faculty so it adheres to the criteria above. When a person is confronted with the truth of the Gospel. He will be in the appropiate circumstance in the enviroment God has designed and if his cognitve faculties are functioning properly he will naturally form a belief in Christianity which thus if he holds it firmly he can know Christianity is true.
