Timothy thinks he is very clever. After almost a two-month-long hiatus from Youtube he posted not only a video but also several very long block quotes in the comment section of this blog. They all started off with a witty remark about Scrabble which he illustrated with this photo:

The joke doesn't even make sense because
"duh" is an exclamation which means "obviously." If my blog can be translated by the truly educated as duh, duh, duh, duh, duh then that means the truly educated know what I write about Tim and his ridiculously heretical group is obvious, obvious, obvious, obvious, obvious!
Tim is attempting to use the word "duh" in a pejorative way derisively mocking me as being ignorant. That makes the joke fall even flatter because in that case it is Tim and not myself who is employing this word which has no points outside of Scrabble. No points for you, Tim!
What is wrong with ignorance? Tim revels in ignorance. Timothy is profoundly ignorant in matters of history, theology, and science.
He literally believes the earth is flat! It is only a man like him, who professes to have unraveled hidden mysteries and proclaims in video after video that he knows more than either the Church, theologians, scholars, or scientists who is truly ignorant. In his newest video about the Lord's Day he says the following:
12:30 Sorry Pope whomever you are. A sign of unbelief according to the Bible so maybe you ought to try reading it.
16:37 It's right there in scripture many times over. Scholars just aren't looking at this because they accept things in a paradigm and that paradigm needs to be tested. That's supposed to be their job
19:55 So why doesn't the Catholic Church and the Protestants today who just haven't done the research on the topic even follow such sinking sand doctrines? Well they just don't do their research at all.
29:03 A little word to such scholars who are screwing up the Bible and misleading many: Yeah we have an attitude. We are very angry, righteously angry with such manipulators who can't do their research. One who is well versed in ignorance knows much of nothing. Duh! Only in Scrabble the board game does that word have value. Yet that is their doctrines. Put that in a mission statement.
Tim is right and the Church is wrong. That is the tone of every single one of his videos. The Church has gotten everything wrong for the past 2,000 years. Bible scholars and historians are stupid while Tim is wise and intelligent. No one has done any actual research into the issues of the sabbath or grace vs. the law except for Tim. For 2,000 years the whole church has been too dumb to understand the Apostle Paul except for Timothy Jay Schwab. Everyone else has been following a false paradigm.
Tim thinks all things can be known if one only studies hard enough. What a fool. Tim is not content with mystery. He is not satisfied with sincerely saying, "I don't know." When he does say, "I don't know," it is always qualified with a maybe or perhaps and is never sincere. That is the height of ignorance and the road to folly. Better to take Socrates for our model when it comes to being ignorant.
This awareness of one’s own absence of knowledge is what is known as Socratic ignorance, and it is arguably the thing for which Socrates is most famous. Socratic ignorance is sometimes called simple ignorance, to be distinguished from the double ignorance of the citizens with whom Socrates spoke. Simple ignorance is being aware of one’s own ignorance, whereas double ignorance is not being aware of one’s ignorance while thinking that one knows. In showing many influential figures in Athens that they did not know what they thought they did, Socrates came to be despised in many circles.

Tim is guilty of double ignorance. In every single one of his videos he spews forth falsehood after falsehood declaring that each lie is the truth. Whether it is the lie that the ancient Greeks sailed to the Philippines or the lie that Filipinos traded directly with and sailed to Egypt or the lie that Negroes, Kurds, and Filipinos are Israelites or the lie that for 4,000 years Enoch has been living in the Garden of Eden at the bottom of the Sulu Sea just off the coast of Palawan Tim continually vomits forth falsehoods masquerading as truth and proudly struts like a vain cock crowing that he alone has solved all these historical mysteries while the scholars, theologians, and historians remain in the dark.
However all the "research" he has done does not amount to much except fraud. Tim manipulates or misrepresents his sources. Many times he has not even read them. The bulk of his research consists in copy/pasting from Wikipedia and from other blogs. He has done absolutely zero archeological research, which is absolutely essential to verify his claims, and he says
to hold him to such a standard is evil! His modus operandi is to take the work of other credible people and fashion it to fit his uncredible narrative of the Philippines being Ophir and Filipinos being Israelites. Tim then spits on those whose research he has exploited and cherry-picked claiming they are Rothschild or Jesuit propagandists because they come to conclusions opposite that of himself! When he claims:
"If you have not watched our videos, we source our slides and lay out our positions in a very deep method."

you know it's a terrible joke.
I have proven all of this in
several blog posts which resulted in Tim editing his videos to hide his deceit
which resulted in even more deception!
Tim is proud of the fact that he is not part of any church organization or denomination. He says so at the beginning of each video. He revels in the fact that no one can pin him down or box him in. You know what else can't be pinned down? A writhing, squirmy, venomous snake. And that is what Tim is.
Just take a look at these instances representative of Tim's linguistic methods.
11:39 Benham likely indetifies that on the other side of the Pison river to the right to the land of the Garden of Eden is in fact Ham's territory......By the way if you are listening Rosette, Rosette Delacroix has a Youtube channel in which she discusses that some mountains might actually be ancient giant trees. We don't know but it certainly makes sense. What does the shape of the Benham Rise look like to you? Perhaps a tree stump? Maybe? We'll leave that for Rosette but interesting indeed.
What a load of absolute malarkey!
Benham Rise was named after Admiral
Andrew Ellicot Kennedy Benham. The surname Benham is English and not Hebrew. Benham is completely unrelated to the Hebrew language. It means:
English: habitational name from a place in Berkshire named with the Old English personal name Benna + Old English hamm ‘river meadow’.
https://www.ancestry.com/name-origin?surname=benham
To be fair this is a viewer observation and apparently not a Timothy Jay Schwab original but he is legitimizing this kind of ignorant linguistic interpretation by including it in his video. In Tim's videos he advocates the principle that if a Filipino word has any phonetic resemblance to a Hebrew word then it is by default a Hebrew word and proof that Filipinos are indeed Israelites. The most egregious example is where he breaks down the name Bathala attempting to prove it is of Hebrew origin and declares that the pagan deity Bathala is the Hebrew God YHWH!
38:08 Of course some will say, "Nuh-uh" just as they did with Maharlika yet no one has actually proven that that is not Hebrew. Nor will they be able to prove that this is not Hebrew especially not with stretched etymologies that don't even fit no matter how much they stretch and they aren't even the same letters. This is exact. Wow!
What a profoundly ignorant argument. Tim says that because no one has proven him wrong that means he is right. He has shifted the burden of proof from himself to his audience and expects his detractors to prove a negative! Tim does not have to prove he is right, you have to prove he is wrong.
You will hear him employ this argument in many of his videos. "We have proven that the Philippines is the Garden of Eden, etc and in three years no one has been able to prove us wrong." Fittingly for Tim that is called the argument from ignorance and is one of the many logical fallacies Tim commits on a regular basis.
Argument from ignorance (from Latin: argumentum ad ignorantiam), also known as appeal to ignorance (in which ignorance represents "a lack of contrary evidence"), is a fallacy in informal logic. It asserts that a proposition is true because it has not yet been proven false or a proposition is false because it has not yet been proven true. This represents a type of false dichotomy in that it excludes the possibility that there may have been an insufficient investigation to prove that the proposition is either true or false. It also does not allow for the possibility that the answer is unknowable, only knowable in the future, or neither completely true nor completely false. In debates, appeals to ignorance are sometimes used in an attempt to shift the burden of proof.

In other words:
This is what you get when you reject philosophy and
call it a creation of the Nephilim. You get illogical arguments and devilish casuistry that would make any Jesuit beam with joy.
By the way Benham Rise has a new name courtesy of Duterte.
“All departments, subdivisions, agencies, and instrumentalities of the government shall henceforth use and employ the name ‘Philippine Rise’ in all official documents in referring to the undersea feature,” the EO reads.
Duterte just blew The God Culture's argument right out of the waters! There is a name for Tim's linguistic method. It's called apophenia.
Apophenia () is the tendency to mistakenly perceive connections and meaning between unrelated things. The term (German: Apophänie) was coined by psychiatrist Klaus Conradin his 1958 publication on the beginning stages of schizophrenia. He defined it as "unmotivated seeing of connections [accompanied by] a specific feeling of abnormal meaningfulness". He described the early stages of delusional thought as self-referential, over-interpretations of actual sensory perceptions, as opposed to hallucinations.

There are really only three choices about Tim. He is either very ignorant and ill-informed or he is rather well informed but malevolently chooses to withhold information from his audience. The third choice is that God has sent Tim a lying spirit to deceive him
just as he did to Ahab. Take his new video about The Lord's Day for example.
Tim does not tell his audience about the entire early church keeping the Lord's Day to celebrate the resurrection as well as keeping the sabbath. He does not discuss the relationship between the Gentile Church and the Jewish Synagogue. He does not discuss why the church gradually stopped observing the sabbath as the Church and Synagogue drifted further apart. He does not address later Church synods which wrote canons forbidding any mixing with the Jews or observances of Jewish practices, i.e. the Mosaic Levitical law. He fails to discuss the last few verses of Acts where the Jews reject Christ and Paul says the Gentiles will not reject this salvation (Acts 28:28.) Does Tim know anything of that? Does he know the difference between the Church and the Synagogue? From his videos it is apparent he knows only the high points of Church History such as Constantine, Nicea I, and whatever he can pull from Wikipedia to justify his legalistic heresy of "the law is what redeems us."
Tim takes a rather complex historical subject and thinks he has stripped it down to the bare essentials which is the Bible says keep the seventh day sabbath so do it. He deceitfully frames the question wrong and asks for proof that he knows cannot be produced. The question isn't whether the sabbath has been changed but rather why do Christians worship on the first day of the week and not the seventh. Because he rejects proper Bible exegesis he misses the mark and comes up with a wrong interpretation of not only Hebrews but of the entire Bible. For Tim Jesus is not our sabbath in whom we rest from all our works. No, no, no! There are no shadows or types which must be fulfilled according to Tim.
Yada Yadda: The law of Moshe is a type. A shadow. The antitype or the fulfillment is what the Messiah revealed to the disciples and to the people in general.
The God Culture: We agree on the Pharisees indeed. But Type, antitype? That's scholar babble and certainly not Bible language.
20:13 Here's the Catechism of the Catholic Church according to the.....Vatican. That's still Catholic right? It separates the sabbath and the Lord's Day into two separate sections but leaves them together. No one can really do that by the way. Now it begins this section on the Lord's Day with Psalm 118 which we actually quoted early on in this video before.
So the Catholic Church agrees David is talking about the Sabbath there by the way. But did David live in Messiah's time? N-n-n-no. He lived a thousand years prior. So what was the Sabbath to David? I mean to use that scripture here is completely illiterate. Saturday! Not Sunday! So right there they're leading off with a scripture that says the Lord's Day is Saturday! It's right there. They're not even reading the scripture under their nose. Now no one can debate that.
Here is the context of Psalm 118:
Psalm 118:19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the Lord:
20 This gate of the Lord, into which the righteous shall enter.
21 I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.
22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.
23 This is the Lord's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.
24 This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
25 Save now, I beseech thee, O Lord: O Lord, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.
26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord: we have blessed you out of the house of the Lord.
Imagine how much one has to hate Jesus Christ and despise his work on the cross and His resurrection in order to twist those passages to be anything less than a prophecy of the Messiah. Yet that is exactly what Tim has done to this passage. Like an atheist he mocks the prophetical meaning of these words by saying, "David lived a thousand years before Christ," not even realizing that David did not write this Psalm! What utter ignorance and impious blasphemy spews forth from this vile, foul-mouthed basilisk! Asaph aptly described this wretched creature:
Psalm 50:19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
Psalm 118 is a Messianic Psalm. It is a prophecy of Jesus Christ. Jesus Himself declares this fact in the Gospels. The Catholic Church is not admitting that the Sabbath is the Lord's Day by quoting Psalm 118:24. Tim is transposing his blasphemous interpretation onto the Catholics! That is more of his faulty logic and argumentation.
The Catholics are also not admitting that the Sabbath has been changed. They are declaring that Christ fulfilled the Sabbath by rising on the first day of the week. Perhaps Tim should have read the whole section on the Lord's Day which explains all of that. But Tim does not discuss the prophetic nature of the text or its implications in the Church and history. Instead he derisively dismisses it and proceeds at great length to attempt to prove that Jesus rose on Saturday and not early Sunday morning before sunrise. For Tim there is no prophecy of Christ in this verse. Types are scholar babble and not Bible language after all.
If Tim really believed what he was teaching he would say even less about Jesus Christ than he already does because according to him "
the law is what redeems us!" Though he would say otherwise in Tim's system there is absolutely no need for the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ. This man thinks he is restoring the truth and tearing down "false paradigms" and "doctrines of men" when in fact he is urging Filipinos to keep the law in all its rigor thus regressing to the spiritual childhood and bondage from which Jesus came to free us.
Galatians 3:23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
Before I bring this display of Tim's ignorance to a close I want to leave you with his latest rant against Youtube and Google. Did you know Tim is a dangerous guy because he has restored the Philippines to its rightful place in Bible prophecy?
As I have said before if Facebook and Google were really trying to censor Tim and the Gang they would do it. They would deplatform him just like they did Alex Jones and a host of other people more credible than the incredibly ignorant Timothy Jay Schwab.
