The God Culture: Viewer Comments

Over the course of a score of articles I have systematically dismantled the teachings of Timothy Jay Schwab and The God Culture. Any right thinking person can see straight through the man as on the first listen their baloney detector should blare out a warning siren. Sadly this is not the case for many listeners as The God Culture's Youtube channel continues to grow with 115k subscribers as of this writing. So much for being censored. You do not get to 115k subscribers while being censored. 

Both the number of subscribers and the fact that many new viewers are watching because the Youtube algorithm recommended The God Culture's videos belies Tim's claim that Youtube is censoring him and his group.

Ugali Tamu This was really fascinating. Thanks to the algorithm for suggesting it

The God Culture Indeed. Yah Bless

The screenshot above is from a deleted video which was later re-uploaded because of a copyright violation. That The God Culture decided to save that comment and post in the comment section of the re-upload shows just how oblivious they really are. If Youtube was censoring them then their videos would not be suggested by the algorithm. Perhaps this person is now a subscriber.

It is the subscribers and viewers who drive the channel. Yet, I have not had much to say about them. Suffice to say many of them are deluded. Reading their comments it is apparent that some of these people do not have the mental capacity or methodological skills to do what Tim tells them to do which is "test all things," including him. 

Did you know the demolition of the twin towers on 9/11 was actually a plot to steal Marcos' gold?

George Santos I WISH YOUR CAPTION WILL COME TRUE. THIS PLANE.T WILL BE A GOOD PLACE WITHOUT AMERICA. THE SO CALLED DEMOCRAZY IS JUST A COVER UP TO INVADE OTHER COUNTRIES ECONOMY. DID YOU 911 BOMBING IS JUST A FIASCO TO DIVERT PEOPLES ATTENTION TO THE TRUE NATURE OF TWIN TOWER BOMBING TO STEAL 3.5 THOUSANDS KILOS OF GOLD WHICH OWNED BY PRES. MARCOS AND THAT BOMBING USED AS A TOOL TO MAKE WAR TO BIN LADEN AND AFGHANISTAN WHICH AMERICA SHAMEFULLY LOST TO MUCH SMALLER GROUPS OF ARM MEN COMPARED MUCH MORE PROWESS. AMERICA A TROUBLE MAKER THAN PEACE MAKER.

luz ramon Right except on the gold ,Marcos outsmart them that’s why they punished Imeldàs Tacloban city by using their HARPP to produce Yolanda disaster

Silly me I thought the destruction of the towers was perpetrated by the US government as part of the Project for a New American Century's call for a new Pearl Harbour event as an excuse to gain control of the Gulf region. Who knew it was just a smokescreen for a robbery!? No word on where Marcos' gold was actually stashed but apparently "they" did not find it and in retaliation "they" used HAARP to manifest super typhoon Yolanda to Tacloban City 12 years later in 2013. Why did "they" wait so long to get revenge and why did "they" think an appropriate way to avenge themselves against Marcos was to destroy Tacloban City? The commenter does not say.

There are actually a lot of comments on The God Culture's videos about Marcos's gold. Here is one  typical of the many false claims which have been floating around social media especially since Duterte became President.

•∆Ꮯᥲᥣᥣเꪮρꫀ Ꮮꫀᥡ∆• Little did you know that the founder of world Bank is Jose Rizal and Ferdinand Marcos that's why Pres. M once said"This Nation Can Be Great Again" The 2/3 golds in the world came from Philippines the Gold of Solomon( Philippines didn't stole she mined) that will benefit the whole world but America so jelous of the Philippines they make WW2 steal the gold from Ophir, not just that they blow up the twin tower 9/11 Philippines needs to rise again, AMERICA BRING BACK THE GOLDS from Ophir Yah bless

The God Culture Yah Bless

Not only were the towers destroyed to steal Philippines' gold but the USA also started World War 2 to steal the gold! How ridiculous. I suppose if you forget Hitler's invasion of Poland and his bombing of London as well as Japan's bombing of Pearl Harbour and their aggression in East Asia and then hit yourself in the head a few times with a hammer it all makes sense. The fact that this lie has found any life can be attributed to the ever hopeful nature of Filipinos who vainly dream that, despite being downtrodden and backwards and at the bottom of any quality of life index, they are actually the best, brightest and strongest people in the world who are being held back, not by their own failures and incompetence, but by the evil forces of colonialism. There is a whole Facebook page dedicated to the lie that claims Jose Rizal actually died in 1962.

The Bretton Woods institutions were created in the aftermath of World War II. The chief benefactor of the World Bank was Dr. Jose P. Rizal, who lived in the Vatican until 1962 as Fr. Jose Antonio Diaz

https://www.facebook.com/The-chief-benefactor-of-the-World-Bank-was-Dr-Jose-P-Rizal-636571056445847/

Jose Rizal died at the hands of the Spanish long before Marcos was even born. Neither one of the two are the founders of the World Bank. But how does The God Culture respond to this nonsense? Does Tim bother to correct this commenter? No. He says Yah Bless and condones this lie. God does not bless lies. Yah, however, does.

The God Culture teaches a weird and strange doctrine so they naturally attract weird and strange people.

Philip Jones There were no DINOSAURS!! They were invented to support the THEORY OF EVOLUTION!

The God Culture No argument on that here. Yah Bless.

Philip Jones  @The God Culture  I thought you were insinuating they were possibly the Giants. Glad you were not. I am lucky enough to have a fully activated Pineal Gland and I can tell you this Earth was created exactly as it says in Genesis. Stars are not Suns or solid objects. Matter cannot leave this Earth nor enter. Only Spirit can do that. I have witnessed Miracles many times because an activated pineal gland allows one to see the world at a much higher frequency and 'behind the veil' of the Material world. I enjoyed your analysis of Jubilees and will 'tune in' again.

The God Culture Yah Bless.

Think of all the effort one would have to go to in order to invent dinosaurs. First you have to manufacture the skeletons of a myriad of different species and then you have to place them deep in the earth all around the planet. Some of them you have to encase in rock and ice! It's a lot of trouble and a task beyond any one man's ability to perform. It's also a straight out lie. The first dinosaur fossils were discovered BEFORE Darwin's theory was ever published. But how does Tim respond to this nonsense? He agrees and says, "Yah Bless." Perhaps Tim's pineal gland is also activated and he has a steady supply of DMT flooding his consciousness. Why else would he agree with Philip Jones who is obviously a nut?

Many of the people that comment on The God Culture's channel clearly do not know their Bibles.

Sage Peace Is it true that John the Baptist was actually the last rightful Aronic high priest and passed his priesthood to yeshua

The God Culture The Last Great Prophet even. Indeed. Yah Bless.

A commenter asks if John the Baptist was the last rightful Aaronic High Priest and that he transferred that priesthood to Jesus Christ. Tim agrees that he was. The issue of the priesthood of Jesus Christ is very important for understanding His work and mission.

Hebrews 6:20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

Jesus Christ is made a priest "after the order of Melchisedec." The next chapter tells us what that means.

Hebrews 7:11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.

13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.

14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.

It means the law has been changed. We have a better testament through Jesus Christ. One that is different from the Mosaic law. I'm not going to get into that here but it is important to know because The God Culture teaches that the law has not been changed and that we must still keep the Levitical law. That has caused some confusion amongst his viewers. One commenter wants to know how to keep the feasts.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpYFD-7BuuM&lc=UgwCfyY-CYkt-qMZEht4AaABAg

klober I’m excited to do the Feasts of Yah but confused on what to do. Please do make videos on the Feasts! Salamat and Yah bless!

The God Culture We will in time. There is much to figure out but for now, it is important to keep them even if not to the letter. Yah Bless.

Another commenter asked if we must offer sacrifices on the feast days and Tim replies no because Hebrews says that His blood, that is the blood of Jesus Christ, is sufficient and animal's blood is not. That is true but so is the fact that since Jesus is not a Levite priest that the law has been changed which means there is no more keeping the feasts. The Bible is very specific on how to keep the feasts and it includes sacrificing. Tim's answer that one must keep the feasts "even if not to the letter" is blasphemy since God requires us to follow all his instructions to a T. He has told us how to keep the feasts but Tim has decided to ignore God's rules for his own interpretation.

Here's another comment where both the commenter and The God Culture show their ignorance of the Bible.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PigUZ69R-kA&lc=UgzsZHWJGh-2UNe8MhR4AaABAg

Courageous: Funny.....20 years ago I debated with my 88 year old Sunday school teacher about Abraham!! She stated he was an idol worshiper because his dad was. I said, "No! The Bible does not say Abraham worshiped idols!" She still disagreed, but The Ruach (Holy Spirit) put that thought into my head! Praise The Father for He is good!! Yah Bless you guys and another awesome lesson from The Father!

The God Culture: Indeed. Unfortunately, many of us have been that Sunday School Teacher over the years indoctrinated into false interpretations that were never even there in the first place. Yah Bless.

This commenter says that he debated with a Sunday school teacher who taught that Abraham worshipped idols. He said "the Bible does not say Abraham worshiped idols." Not only that but the Holy Spirit put that thought into his head. Tim agrees. But they are both wrong. The Bible does say Abraham worshipped idols.

Joshua 24:2 And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they served other gods.

The "they" in this verse refers to Terah, Abraham, and Nachor. It's pretty plain from this text that Abraham was an idolator who "served other gods." The notion that he did not comes from that Rabbinic midrashic tradition which Timothy loathes but which is firmly ensconced in Jubilees. In fact, in his video "Abraham Burns Down Temple of Idols" Tim uses a clip from a children's movie titled "Young Abraham" which is ENTIRELY BASED ON the Midrash. Here are a list of sources for the clip. 

https://www.chabad.org/kids/article_cdo/aid/1660316/jewish/Young-Abraham.htm

The first draft of the script was written by two Rabbis.

To research and write the script, the producers of the $1.8 million project Saadyah El Haddad and Eliyhau Cohen approached two Montreal-based Chabad rabbis, Yisroel Bernath and Zvi Herschovich. 

“The goal was to bridge traditional Judaism and Hollywood,” says Rabbi Bernath, Director of Chabad NDG and Loyola Campus. After an exhaustive study of numerous Midrashic sources and commentaries, the pair submitted the first draft in March of 2006, but they were “involved throughout the following years to monitor the project to ensure that the film stayed true to the text.” 

http://web.archive.org/web/20110721234148/http://lubavitch.com/news/article/2031805/Animated-Film-About-Young-Abraham-Wins-Audiences.html

I am not sure how Tim came across this clip but apparently he is totally unaware that "Young Abraham" is a critically acclaimed film directed by an animator, Todd Schaefer, who has worked on many high profile productions such as the recent Animaniacs revival and Space Jam sequel. One commenter asked him where the full movie could be watched.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWgY5HBZ9OQ&lc=UgzmKnxLkzaztACKMEl4AaABAg

AmazonJelled Sushi What show does the clip from? I like to watch it, abraham there is cute and funny.

The God Culture Unfortunately a movie that never made it and only clips remain. Yah Bless.

Tim, as ever, is wrong. First of all he cannot even tell this commenter the name of the film so that they can go look it up. Secondly. the movie is available to rent or buy on Amazon. Or you can watch the writer's commentary on the film uploaded to Facebook last year for the its tenth anniversary. The whole movie is there but without sound as the commentary is ongoing.

Despite contradicting the scriptures Tim thinks the stories concerning Abraham in Jubilees actually fill in the gaps. Now he is thinking like the Rabbis whom he despises so much. These stories are just more proof that Jubilees is a Midrash or commentary and was not written by Moses and is not scripture.

Many of Tim's videos deal with science. Specifically a rejection of science. It's no wonder then that a commenter enthusiastically rejects science.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jAQ08tJUpY&lc=UgzkLtG_LKv8Rqqksfx4AaABAg

Dad Dudes Science must destroy it tells unreliable theories in human. It must not be a subject in schools! Fuck science

The God Culture Actual Observation and experiment is great but the stuff they are peddling in our schools? We agree should not be taught as fact because it is not. Yah Bless.

Yeah! Fuck Science! Except science is just a set of tools. Well, the scientific method is a tool which gives us science like biology, geology, chemistry, etc. It's also a method that tells us tectonic plate movement is real because it fits all the OBSERVABLE data. But Tim rejects that fact as well as the rotundity of the earth and its distance from the sun.  It's a no-brainer that Tim would say "Yah Bless" to "Fuck science." The man actually hates knowledge.

Kevin Friest i know Constantine tampered with the old testament. i wish we still had the library of Alexandria. that lost data would certainly have cleaned up the story. because of constantine , a known homsexual and pedophile, i cast doubt on some of yhe bible. we have to rely on feel good response and guessing . i feel you are correct but there are nomerous deletions and additions. this makes it easy to miss interpret . add to that a planet full of satan loving churches bearing the image of Godly. thank you for the information.

The God Culture You mean the occult library of Alexandria? Why? We found the library of the very Temple Priests who were exiled to Qumran. Their library is the Bible at Messiah's time. It certainly proves tampering especially in the Pharisees deleting and adding books following by the Catholic Church who is really just a Pharisee concoction all the same. If you want to know what was in the Bible at the time of Messiah, look to Qumran which is the Biblical Bethabara where Messiah was baptized. Alexandria will net you Gnostic junk infused and even the Septuagint was already missing books form the Temple library. There is only 1 track in history, the priests whom Moses and even Jacob entrusted with scripture. This was their calling and they kept the Bible at Qumran. Yah Bless.

This commenter makes some rather bold and unfounded claims. He claims that Constantine tampered with the Old Testament and that he was a "known homosexual and pedophile." Sources please? One can simply read Eusebius' Life of Constantine as well as his History of the Church to dispel those lies. But all Tim can say is Yah Bless. 

The only thing Tim takes issue with is the commenter wishing the Library of Alexandria had not been lost. He calls it occult and says all we need is Qumran. But there is no "track" in history to the Qumran community being exiled priests who kept the pure and real Bible. That all comes from Tim's head. Unless one is ready to admit that these people were Essenes no one even knew of the existence of this community until 1947 when the Dead Sea Scrolls were found. Jesus Christ Himself never challenged the legitimacy of the Pharisees or scribes but says that they sit in the seat of Moses and should be listened to.

Matthew 23:1 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,

2 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:

3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.

And why would we want the texts that made up the Library of Alexandria? Because of all the knowledge about the ancient world they would contain, of course. One of the known lost books which was part of the collection of the Library of Alexandria is Eratosthenes' Geography, as well as the books which informed his work, wherein he proves the circumference of the earth. As it is we only have fragments. This book would unequivocally disprove Tim's false assertion that the Greeks thought the earth was flat.

While the Greeks were disabused of the notion of a flat earth they did believe in geocentricity. It would not be until the Renaissance that Nicolas Copernicus worked out the heliocentric model of the universe. But did you know that Copernicus was hired by the Catholics to push that model?

M. Mariato Look man everyday we live in the Jesuit heliocentric solar system this is blasphemy why do none of you commentators point this out everyday of the week is named for a different god and we are forced to live in this paradigm using the Gregorian calendar. The Nicolaitans literally translates to The followers of Nicolaus...Nicolaus Capernicus was hired by the Catholics to create the solar system and everyone worships NASA. I don't think Yahusha is speaking about holidays...I live on YAHs' vast plain not in Nicolaus Capernicus' heliocentric solar system...this is a bigger problem for the world then Christmas. SCIENCISM is a pagan religion. Paul even said "one man esteems a day and one man esteems everyday the same and God has accepted him who are you to judge another man's servant." "If you put yourself under one law then you must place yourself under the whole law and Christ has become of none effect." Yah bless...

The God Culture Indeed He most certainly is. Watch our Sabbath Series. This is a debate you cannot have. Scripture settles it abundantly and Paul fragments out of context don't even represent his view accurately. Yah Bless.

Copernicus died just as his book "On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres" went to print. His cause was later taken up by Galileo who was famously PERSECUTED by the Roman Catholic Church and was forced to recant his heliocentric beliefs. This commenter is an idiot for suggesting that Copernicus was "hired by the Catholics" and so is Tim for agreeing with him. The only thing he is right about is what Paul says concerning the law.

Constantine gets such a bad rap in Tim's erroneous history and theology it is no wonder someone would comment nonsense about him. Maybe Tim does not know that Constantine is venerated as a saint by the Eastern Orthodox. Here is his icon.

He is venerated because he PROTECTED Christianity. For all his faults if Constantine had not converted and made Christianity the state religion the Church would have been persecuted for a much longer time. That makes the next comment and answer all the more perplexing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCwDTRzkYqo&lc=UgxUdWlPsvp0ksYajOp4AaABAg

wonderbee100 Makes me wonder what happened to the True Church of God...Did they continued on till this day?...Or did they ceased to exist and are just being restored today?...Where are the Seven Churches Of God in the book of Revelation today?...So many questions...Hope you will have a video series about the Seven Churches of God...Thank you for explaining the Sabbath....GOD BLESS YOU....

The God Culture Oh, those are the right questions. Few truly explore that and when you research it, you find the true ekklesia silenced in history. This is what Constantine really did. He eradicated the 7 churches in Turkey largely but not in whole. Tracking them though is difficult specifically. However, we can track the Lost Tribes of Israel whom this message did reach and many of the early ekklesia are there. Many pulled back from the cities in Turkey and went into the mountains of Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Syria in modern Kurdistan. The Southern Kingdom migrated en masse into Africa. Really, our Lost Tribes Series is the best way to track this. Yah Bless.

This person is hearing Tim's strange doctrine and realizes that no Church has ever observed the Sabbath. She asks, "What happened to the True Church of God" and specifically the Seven Churches from the Book of Revelation. Tim responds that Constantine silenced the True Church and largely eradicated the Seven Churches. Really? Citation please. It never happened. Constantine was not an enemy to the Church. I know Tim will respond that Constantine ALTERED the practices of the Church and introduced a false religion founding the Holy Roman Empire but none of that ever happened. This is why it is important to be familiar with Church history. The Body of Christ, the visible Church, has been alive and well for 2000 years. Jesus Christ said he would build His Church and the gates of hell would not overcome it. This lady wants answers but all Tim has for her are lies.

If the True Church disappeared and was subverted and silenced in history then it would be IMPOSSIBLE for Tim to know what the Church is or that the so-called True Church was silenced. It's the same as saying there is no True Church.

Let's look at one final and very important comment.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4iXpV-9yp4&lc=UgzmdH1lUUi6g7Eeg8J4AaABAg

Marcelo De La Vega Hello Tim, When you have the time. Please if you can I would like to know what happens with all marriages done under the catholic church, and everyone that was baptized in the catholic church or any other church. All this is a lie, how can we have YHWH blessings?

The God Culture Understand marriage is before Yahuah not any church. They have nothing to do with it. Yah Bless.

The commenter asks a question that was solved long ago during the Donatist controversy. I won't get into that here. What's important is that Tim says "marriage is before Yahuah not any church." What a total hypocrite. I have called him out for a twice divorced woman being his second wife. Jesus says such a union is adultery. In response Tim appealed to the Church saying that they properly vetted him and his wife.

Timothy Jay Schwab lives in the Philippines with his beautiful wife, Anna Zamoranos-Schwab, a Filipina who works with him. The couple met at church in Florida where they ministered together for two years before deciding to court leading to marriage. After extensive prayer and vetting by the large church in which they ministered, they were married in that church by those pastors following Biblical and civil laws. 

https://www.thegodculture.com/our-founder

If "marriage is before Yahuah not any church" then all that vetting and prayer and following of so-called Biblical laws, there is no Biblical law that allows for a man to marry a divorced woman since Jesus forbids it, does not matter one whit. So, why does Tim boast about it as if it does? Because he is a hypocrite who cannot justify the unjustifiable. One moment his marriage is justified because it was sanctioned by the Church, the same Church he now rejects, and the next moment he does not need the Church to validate his marriage. He should pick one or the other because it cannot be both.

This is just a sampling of the many comments to be found on The God Culture's videos. They are all quite revealing. What they reveal is that these people are in no position to test anything Timothy Jay Schwab says. They are totally incapable of such an endeavor as evidenced by their lack of Biblical knowledge, their adherence to false histories, and their utter disdain for science. These people listen to Tim gladly and uncritically. Why? Because of all the positive things he has to say about the Philippines. But these aren''t just positive things. They are deluded fantasies based on twisted readings of both scripture and history. 

I am amazed that this man has any followers but I have to check myself because Quiboloy, the INC, the Mormons, and the Jehovah's Witnesses each have millions of followers and they all teach the most incredible lies. Truly human gullibility has no bounds.
