This post will be quite direct and to the point. There will be no analysis of The God Culture's videos. It's not needed. Instead we have direct testimony from Timothy Jay Schwab himself in the comment section of one of his videos.
A little background first. Tim and company believe that the Rivers of Eden are deep sea trenches that encircle the earth. But wait! They don't encircle the earth according to Tim because he does not believe the earth is a globe! From the comments of the above video we read the following exchange:
Kurt Stephen: Hi TGC! In your own understanding, does the earth flat or sphere?
The God Culture: The Bible lays out a flat earth and science tells us it's a sphere. We'll let those debate that but in reading the Bible, we are going to do so in the right paradigm and the writers did not discuss the cosmology of a sphere. Yah Bless.
The earth is flat according to Timothy Jay Schwab. The Bible tells him so.
Actually it does not tell him so because the Bible is not a science text book. However experimentation, daily experience, and actual satellite photographs of the planet tell a wholly different story which is that the world is just as round as Timothy Jay Schwab's middle aged pot belly.
But wait, there's more!
From "
Rivers & Garden Of Eden FOUND! The Best Theory. Fits the Bible. Flood Series 6A. Ophir:"
1:02:36 - See this is more than a theory at his point as we are well on our way to proving this if only we could bring together a team of scientists to fully vet this. But too many are stuck in false paradigms unfortunately even those in the Christian arena which are set all over the academic world unfortunately. Many have said they would like to see this system on a flat earth map as well so here you go. We do not breach that topic as of yet because it is too polarizing but we have no issue with people researching the topic and actually we encourage everyone to prove all things.
The comment section of this video is full of positive flat earth comments to which The God Culture responds "Yah bless" or worse!
Nisi Ryan Cruz: Is there any mention in the bible that we are revolving around the sun?
The God Culture: None. Only the sun having a course and standing still during the days of Joshua indicating movement. Yah Bless.
Not only is the earth flat but it is motionless! Tim has devolved back to
geocentricity so much so that he does not even believe that the Sun is 90 million miles from the Earth. He quotes from Enoch 8:3:
66:25 "Shamsiel the signs of the sun." Probably the false facts that it is 90 million light years away perhaps? Which is never, ever been proven. Uh, sunspots?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-nAf2cIvVU
I agree that the sun is NOT 90 million LIGHT YEARS AWAY from Earth. If it was we would all be dead because it would be outside of the Milky Way which is only 170,000 - 200,000 light years in diameter! Clearly he means 90 million miles but it's a funny slip up and even with the correction he is still dead wrong. It is not false science that the sun is 90 million miles away and
it has been proven. Just as the Greeks knew the earth was round they also knew the sun was farther from the earth than the moon and had the distance down pretty close. What do sunspots have to do with anything?
In another comment Tim is asked to make a video about the earth being not a globe and he says that he may do so in time.
Johnny 2Shadows: You guys should definitely do a video "proving" how Yahuahs word does NOT speak of a globe earth!
The God Culture: We may in time but we aren't ready for that one yet. Already sparking enough controversy as it is. Yah Bless.
When confronted with this information The God Culture denies it all!
We have no videos on flat earth and our group has never reached such consensus. Only a liar would say otherwise and there ya go, he just did.
http://philippinefails.blogspot.com/2020/05/the-god-culture-just-another-anti.html?showComment=1590162073066#c4950760814771191480
No videos on the subject? Ok sure. But no consensus on the matter? Then why these comments affirming the earth is flat? Is Tim going against the mind of "the group" by posting these comments? Only a blind man could fail to see that Timothy Jay Schwab of the The God Culture affirms the earth is flat and that he bases that belief on scripture.
Tim and his gang love to repeat the same talking points. One of them is the following quote from Einstein.
"Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance."
The problem is Einstein never said this. It is actually a quote from William Paley which has been mangled and misattributed during a centuries long
telephone game. You can read the whole history of the phrase in a paper titled, "
The Survival of a Fitting Quotation."
Is the principle itself true? Maybe. Sometimes certainly not. Do I really need to smoke shabu before I can condemn it? One does not need to taste or even see the fruit of a tree to know what kind of tree one is looking at. The bark, branches, and leaves tell the whole story. Same with The God Culture. One does not need to watch every single one of their videos to know what they are made of. The same rule also applies to the flat earth nonsense.
In the matter of the flat earth what does it even mean to research it and prove all things as Timothy encourages? Does he expect people to become scientists and do actual research and observations in a systematic scientific way? It's the same with the rest of his series and theories. They are patently untestable and unreliable without a lot of field work. Not even Timothy tests them out as he does not go into the field and do actual archeological or geological work. He is an armchair expert who relies on the research of others often twisting it to fit his paradigm. He literally thinks that because he has read a few books and articles that he has found what no one else in the world has ever found, namely Ophir, The Garden of Eden, the Lost Tribes, etc. It's all nonsense from a nonexpert who has been nowhere and tested nothing!
If you want to learn some real Bible archeology this book is a good start:
Do I really need to watch hours of videos or read books before I reject the flat earth stupidity? No. I have been all over the world including to Antarctica.
In December the sun does not set in Antarctica. The night sky is also different in the southern hemisphere than from the northern hemisphere. There is the Southern Cross and the two
Magellanic Clouds which are not visible in the northern night sky. Polaris is not visible in the south at all while Orion is pushed to the northern horizon and is not fully visible the further south one goes. From the Philippines one can see Polaris, Orion, and the Southern Cross because we are in the middle of the earth. All of that is because the earth is round. It is as round as Timothy Jay Schwab's head!
What does believing in a flat earth mean for Timothy Jay Schwab of the God Culture? It means all his videos about the Rivers of Eden are lies based on quackery. For sure he is no geologist or geographer. Yet he has the gall to call his patently unscientific research scientific! Tim goes even further and claims he can interpret scientific research accurately while the scientists who actually did the research cannot!
Jubilees even leaves exact directions to the Garden and having mapped them we can tell you with 100% certainty that it is the Philippines. Which is confirmed by history, geography, science, language, and everything. The location of the rivers from Eden which we find even scientifically and it fits the passage as none of the older other theories out there actually do and even better the location of the Garden of Eden and the land of creation is completely confirmed by science even modern marine biologists themselves. If they only knew what the ramifications are of their most recent findings. Which they do not because they do not believe the Bible.
https://youtu.be/hP5zxlXysIk?t=5419
How much more arrogant can Tim be than to say scientists don't understand their own research but he, a man totally untrained in science and believes the Earth is flat, does!?
The God Culture are idiots who believe the earth is flat and that faith in Christ is not the foundation of our salvation. They don't even believe the proper name for one who confesses faith in Christ is Christian or that the Apostles were or wanted to be called Christians!
And they infused that worship once again into the movement called Christianity by pagans which as pagans they took that title. So the actual followers of Yahusha do not refer to themselves as Christians. The word is only in the Bible four times and it is really the onlookers calling them the "Christians" in a negative way which is not a name Paul wanted to adopt or any of the followers of Yahusha nor did they because if they did you would see it in the New Testament a thousand times not four.
https://youtu.be/JAdyZdkv9ag?t=2815
It actually appears three times and while the reference in Acts 11:26 could be interpreted as being attributed to onlookers and as negative the other two cannot.
Acts 26:28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.
29 And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.
Felix says he was almost persuaded to be a Christian and Paul says he wishes he was altogether such as him, a Christian! He accepts the term and adopts it to himself. Substitute "Christian" with the word "jerk" and see if it works.
The third reference is in a letter by Peter and the term is also not used in a negative way at all.
1 Peter 4:16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
Let him not be ashamed? As Tim would say, yikes, yeesh, ugh, uh-oh! Imagine being so edgy as to call the name "Christian" pagan. Again substitute the word "jerk" for Christian. It doesn't fit! Christian is used in a positive sense in the scriptures every single time. Tim declines to tell us the proper name for a person who believes in Jesus Christ. I have a hunch it is Yahudim.
Tim can't even get it straight as to whether or not he is a minister. From Sabbath Series Commentary:
0:50 "We don't even refer to ourselves as ministers but researchers."
https://youtu.be/AN4ArvfMR4w
But in the comment section of my blog he writes:
"We have always been a ministry but again, you don't know the meaning as you don't with anything, you assume whatever you want in fraud because you are a fraud."
http://philippinefails.blogspot.com/2020/05/the-god-culture-just-another-anti.html?showComment=1590120773933#c9017847126956008240
So, The God Culture is a ministry but no one who works there is a minister? Who ever heard of a ministry with no ministers!?? While Tim did edit his webpage to erase any mention of him
reentering the evangelistic ministry in the Philippines he did not edit out that his intention in starting a Youtube channel was to gather a following.
They chose the platform of YouTube to share their research initially in order to gather a following and after 3 years and over 9 million views from 214 countries on a teaching channel, The God Culture now brings this research directly to the public in conducting conferences beginning in the Philippines as much of the geography restored leads to that land.
https://www.thegodculture.com
This is in stark contrast to what he says elsewhere:
What a journey of truth this has been for us. Over 3 million views later we never thought a teaching series would gain so much interest but it continues to daily. We love you Philippines by the way. We're not done with this though.
https://youtu.be/hP5zxlXysIk?t=2967
If Tim never thought the series would gain so much interest then why did he release so many high quality videos in quick succession when he first started back in 2017? The God Culture is NOT a fly-by-night operation. Tim registered the website back in 2013. He had obviously been working on this project for a long time before the first video appeared. The whole purpose was to gain a following just as his web page says. Why would he play coy?
Why would you lie about something dumb like that?
Tim cannot even get his doctrine of salvation straight. One moment he says we are not redeemed by the law.
18:54 Did the law of Moses save? Never! No one at anytime, no! Who preaches that the law is salvation? Think about this. The Pharisees do. That's not a Bible principle that's the Pharisees. Paul is condemning the Pharisees not the Old Testament or the Prophets whom he teaches from and reaffirms. Is one saved because they keep the sabbath? Well we have been accused of saying that but we never have but no, sabbath and the law are not salvation.
The next moment he says we are!
39:55 Now how are we freed from the law of sin and death? Uh-oh! It is the law of the Spirit of life, the law of Moses which frees us. The law written by the very finger of Yahuah Himself. The law is what redeems us.
50:53 But ye are not in the flesh, under sin and death, so we're not to operate in the flesh but in the Spirit. That's the law of life, the law of Moses, operates in the Spirit. If so be that the Spirit of God, Yahuah, dwell in you. So how does Paul equate this? As we have seen several times thus far? By keeping the law of life, I mean the law of Moses. That is what overcomes the law of sin and death. That is what it means to be in the Spirit.
Tim says only Pharisees teach salvation comes by the law. Tim also says the law redeems us and that to walk in the Spirit is to keep the law of Moses. Therefore Tim is a Pharisee by his own admission! In fact it is the restoration of the Mosaic law by Filipinos in the Philippines during the end times that is the whole point of Timothy's teaching!
But what is the Mosaic law? To hear Tim talk you'd think it's just the Big Ten. There are more than that.
rose ann lazinec: Is the Law of God just the 10 commandments? or does it include the 613 commandments?
The God Culture: The law is the Torah. All the writings of Moses. You will find the 10 commandments are it's core however. Breaking the minor laws usually break one of the 10. Yah Bless.
According to Tim the law of Moses is the entire Torah. All 613 laws of which 10 form a core. I'm not sure what he means by minor laws. The Torah is a whole and there are no minor laws. To break one is to break all. And they are ALL perpetual. Not just the Big Ten. Take the law of the Levitical priesthood for instance. It is as eternal and binding as the sabbath which Tim ceaselessly harps on.
Exodus 40:15 And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office: for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.
And how about this law?
Leviticus 15:18 The woman also with whom man shall lie with seed of copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the even.
This is part of the eternal law of God which, according to Tim, Adam, Noah, and all the patriarchs kept. It is a statute forever throughout their generations. Why does Tim not talk about it? Why doesn't he make snide comments about never hearing this law explained from the pulpit? Why do no Judaizing legalists ever talk about this law? After a man shtups his wife they are both unclean and need to bathe in water. Does Tim practice this law? Does he take a bath after he shtups his shiksa? He better or else he is a lawbreaker. Of course he is already a lawbreaker because his "marriage" is a violation of the law of Christ who forbids such relationships calling them adultery.
This is all very important becasue Tim says all of his teaching about the Philippines leads to the restoration of the Mosaic law by Filipinos in the end times. From "
The Law of Sin and Death. What is it? NOT The Law of Moses! WHAT DID PAUL SAY?":
52:28 Now some have questioned how did we arrive here and I told you in the beginning in the last video in the introduction that we started in this whole path by just trying to find Ophir in the Bible. That's it. We were testing is the Philippines Ophir and we got all the way here. How does that happen? It happens because this is no mistake. This is exactly where that message leads. See it's time for this people of Ophir especially to learn the law and restore it just as their prophecies say they will. This is not some disjointed ADD approach it's very systematic and we're leading here because this is where the prophecies lead. We are teaching how to fulfill the very prophecies of Ophir. This is no minor task and as you can see we certainly do not take our role lightly. This is happening folks and the Philippines will rise. Many around the world will follow and they are already starting to join. We're almost there.
Tim's vision for the Philippines is a land where the Mosaic law in all of its fullness has been restored. That necessarily includes a Levitical priesthood and sacrifices! Is there not enough bloodshed in these islands that Filipinos will have to revert from faith in the once for all sacrifice of Jesus Christ to offering up animals to Yahuah in the Holy of Holies which Tim claims is in the Garden of Eden and locates in the Philippines? Locates underwater in fact!
44:14 It's funny how we keep seeing that stones of fire and yet we've proven that the Garden of Eden is actually right there in the Philippines under the sea enclosed.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-nAf2cIvVU
So, according to Tim Enoch has lived for 4,000 years in a Garden under the sea? Now he's
ripping off The Beatles! Somebody send a yellow submarine down there and get it on video! It's either there or it isn't. Time to put up or shut up Tim.
This is total madness and it's time for Timothy Jay Schwab of The God Culture to stop pretending he is a Christian. And let's not quibble about words here. The correct term for one who believes in Jesus Christ is Christian and not Yahudim. No Christian would say the law of Moses redeems us. No Christian would say that Jesus Christ has not fulfilled the law. No Christian would reject faith in Christ as the basis of our salvation as Tim does in
Sabbath Series 5:
19:35 We aren't to just have faith in Yahusha. That’s not enough. That’s not it. No, no, no, no. We are to keep His commandments.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-nAf2cIvVU
16:55 Operating in the Spirit is operating in the law of Moses.
Romans 3:21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
The law of Moses bears witness to a righteousness of God apart from the law of Moses and it comes by faith in Jesus Christ. That is basic Christian doctrine which Tim rejects and which his stupid new
video on Romans 7 and 8 completely ignores as he hypocritically discusses Paul in two big out of context fragments overlooking the rest of the letter and his entire oeuvre! It is time for Tim to stop pretending that he has anything to do with Jesus Christ. He is a heretic outside of the Body of Christ and he has no
inheritance with the saints in light. He thinks evil has a substance.
19:43 Principalities are Nephilim demon spirits. When a Nephilim dies their spirit becomes disembodied and it is pure evil because that is what they are. Every imagination of their heart is evil continually as it says in Genesis very clearly.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-nAf2cIvVU
There is no such thing as "pure evil." Evil does not exist as a substance but is
a privation of good. There are many kinds of evils. Evil like sin is an action, breaking the law. Evil like disease is the absence of health. Tim's doctrine of a creature being "pure evil" is Manichaeism and Zoroastrianism and in complete contrast to the scriptures. Nothing exists except God created it. Did God create this spirit which is "pure evil?" Instead of applying Genesis 6:5 to fallen, sinful men, like Jeremiah 17:9, he applies it to alleged angel/human half-breeds. This is the result of his silly Nephilim doctrine which comes from the unscriptural Book of Enoch.
Tim also thinks God is one member of a class of heavenly beings!
69:19 Notice how these all (names of the watchers) have El on the end of their names? That's because they are heavenly beings. El, Eloah, or Elohim is not a name of Yahuah. It's a title, a classification of a heavenly being to which Yahuah belongs but so do the angels so it is appropriate for both.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-nAf2cIvVU
For Tim Yahuah is just one heavenly being among many such as the angels! What a blasphemous thing to say. To equate the creator with his creation. God and the angels he created do not belong to the same class of anything. God is not a being. God is beyond being. He is the author of all being. He is not just one heavenly being among many and to say so shows that Tim is not a theologian and understands nothing about God. This teaching of his sheds more light on his doctrine, or lack thereof, of the Trinity. Tim's thoughts of God are poor, shallow, and heretical. Tim is a deceiver of the highest order and it is sad to see so many Filipinos following him on the broad road to hell.
Where do these people come from? The more I watch and the more I listen to their videos the more I realize these people, The God Culture and Timothy Jay Schwab, are from clown world!
