Welcome to "Ask the God Culture." This is where Timothy Jay Schwab of The God Culture will answer any question you may have. Our first question is from Camille Villaroman.

Camille Villaroman: Hi there.. Thank you so much for doing all these videos. I share them all the time but the most questions I get is are we able to recognize each other once we go in heaven after the judgement day???
The God Culture: We have not found a scripture that says we do. Likely we will not. Yah Bless.
Uh-oh Camille! Looks like Timothy Jay Schwab has not read his Bible. Let's see what Paul has to say about this subject in 1 Corinthians 15.
You see, Camille, the same body which dies is raised though it is raised in power and transformed. We can see this from the resurrection of Christ who rose with the same wounds in his body.42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
John 20:24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.25 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
We also see that we will be recognized from the transfiguration on the mount.
Matthew 17:1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
Here we see that Moses and Elias or Elijah were recognized though they were not in their resurrected bodies. How much more when we are in our glorified resurrected bodies? The bottom line is that the Bible teaches the same body which dies will rise again which means we will be able to recognize one another in the life to come.
Our second question comes from Michael Redison. His question comes after M E related a story about asking his teacher why the sky is blue and could not get a coherent answer. Timothy Jay Schwab responded by saying that science has few answers in these regards, just failed theories at best. That prompted Michael to ask the following:

Michael Redison: So why is that the sky is blue bro? Tnx.The God Culture: We are looking thru the firmament at the waters of Heaven which were separated during Creation. The same which some poured onto the Earth combined with the fountains of the Great Deep bursting to flood the entire earth to 15 cubits above the tallest mountain. The Bible cosmology proves accurate as does the Flood and Creation accounts. Modern science doesn't and every time it disagrees with the Bible, they are wrong not the Bible. Yah Bless.
Michael I am sorry to tell you that Timothy Jay Schwab is dead wrong. Ask yourself these questions: why is the sky red, orange, and purple during sunrise and sunset? Why is it the stars can be seen very clearly at night? Try looking through a glass of water at something and you will see how the object becomes distorted because the light is refracted. Likewise if a layer of water above the earth is what makes it blue that does not explain the other colors at dawn and dusk.
Aside from that the Bible says the windows of heaven were opened during the flood
Genesis 7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
Any water that was separated and above the heavens, this is known as the water canopy theory, poured down onto the earth and remains here.
So, why is the sky blue? Because of the refraction of light in the atmosphere. You see, visible white light is composed of several colors. The rainbow is not just the sign of God's promise it is visible white light separated into its components. These colors can be seen when refracted through a prism.
Light is a wave, or a particle depending on how it is observed, and each color has a different wave length. Blue light, when it hits the atmosphere scatters the most and thus the sky appears blue.
The light from the Sun is really made up of all the colors of the rainbow. Light energy travels in waves, like waves in water. Blue light waves are shorter than light waves of any other color.
Sunlight is scattered in all directions by the tiny molecules of air in Earth's atmosphere. Blue is scattered more than other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time.
When the Sun is lower in the sky, sunlight goes through more of the atmosphere. The blue light is scattered so much that the reds and yellows pass through to your eyes.
Michael, sorry to break it to you but Tim is wrong. Science has plenty of answers for many of our questions about the world in which we live. Not all of them of course but the doors of knowledge have been opened wide as men have systematically and scientifically studied this wonderful planet God gave us.
We can thank Isaac Newton for discovering the light spectrum during experiments in 1666 which results were not published until 1672.
"I procured me a triangular glass prism,... having darkened my chamber and made a small hole in my window shuts, to let in a convenient quantity of the sun's light, I placed my prism at this entrance, that it might be thereby refracted to the opposite wall. It was at first a pleasing divertissement to view the vivid and intense colours produced thereby."
I'd like to thank The God Culture's audience for submitting these questions. Tune in next time for more answers from Timothy Jay Schwab!
