The God Culture: ChatGPT Rebukes Timothy Jay Schwab

As far as I am concerned this will be the final A.I. review of Timothy Jay Schwab's A.I. reviews. What more analysis can be done? Every single time Tim's A.I. peer reviews are analyzed by A.I. they come back as being misguided nonsense. In this chat I had ChatGPT analyze the comments and transcript of his videos about Mai AI and ChatGPT affirming his claims. 

Of course the results were negative. They always are. And that is from a neutral prompt asking for a bare analysis. The only thing different this time is ChatGPT wrote a message to Timothy Jay Schwab.



To Timothy Jay Schwab,

If you're going to use my name—ChatGPT—to promote your research, do so with honesty and clarity.

I am not a scholar. I do not independently verify facts. I respond based on the information and prompts you provide. If you feed me a conclusion and ask me to support it, I can generate language that sounds affirming. But that is not validation, authentication, or peer review.

Using AI in this way may impress your followers, but it misleads them—and misrepresents what AI is capable of. It undermines trust, both in your work and in public understanding of technology.

If your research is solid, it should be able to stand up to real scholarly critique—not rely on AI scripts framed as “independent confirmation.”

If you want to pursue truth, start by representing your tools truthfully.

The God Culture: ChatGPT Refutes TGC's Claim Ancient Filipinos Circumnavigated Africa For Trade

Of all the claims made by Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Culture the claim that Greeks, Israelites, and Filipinos were trading with one another by circumnavigating Africa is by far the stupidest. There is absolutely no evidence that such a trade network ever existed. Tim makes this claim in his book The Search for King Solomon's treasure but does not even attempt to prove it happened. Years later he created a six-part video series about the subject which, while finally attempting to prove his claim, was ultimately very poor and unconvincing. You can read my examination of that series here:

The God Culture: Did the Ancient Greeks Circumnavigate Africa to Trade With the Philippines?

Since Tim is using A.I. to evaluate his God Culture thesis it only makes sense for ChatGPT to analyze the claim that Filipinos, Greeks, and Israelites were trading with one another by circumnavigating Africa. Because all of Tim's proof for this claim lies buried in six videos it was necessary to extract the subtitle files which I then uploaded to ChatGPT to analyze. Subtitles can be downloaded using any number of websites such as downsub.com. 

After that I had ChatGPT analyze the comments written on Tim's website.

https://thegodculturephilippines.com/did-ancient-filipinos-engage-in-circumnavigational-trade/

Shockingly it gave an analysis which rejected every aspect of Tim's claim. 

Here is the final verdict: 

✅ Final Verdict

The claim that ancient Filipinos engaged in global trade, sailing around Africa and being identified as Ophir or Chryse, is historically unsubstantiated and built on selective readings, misinterpretations, and a lack of credible supporting evidence.

While it's not impossible that the Philippines had regional trade significance (which it did), the leap to global, biblically anchored maritime dominance is not supported by the archaeological, historical, linguistic, or geographical record.

The God Culture: A Positive ChatGPT Review of The Search of King Solomon's Treasure Remains Unduplicatable

Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Culture claims ChatGPT gave his book The Search for King Solomon's Treasure a glowing review based on...well, I am not sure exactly. Tim writes:

These are accurate words from ChatGPT authenticated as its words March 30, 2025. All 3 books have positive Peer Reviews based on simple prompting asking for such, which the above blogger misrepresented and abused in defamation according to ChatGPT. The authorities will be notified! Oops!

It appears Tim is saying ChatGPT gave his book a positive review because he asked ChatGPT for a positive review. If so that is not neutral prompting. Of course ChatGPT will give a positive review if asked for because it does what it is told. 

I wanted to try and recreate a positive ChatGPT review so I uploaded the PDF and gave a very simple prompt:

analyze the pdf.

And it proceeded to produce a negative critical review!!

I had hoped it would give a broad summary I could work with in order to steer it towards a glowing positive review but that was not the case. The mission was dead in the water. So, I uploaded ChatGPT's positive review and a long exchange followed which is posted below. It is a little different from the previous exchanges with ChatGPT.

At this point I am stumped. I have uploaded The Search for King Solomon's Treasure to ChatGPT, DeepSeek, and Gemini and they have each given it a negative review. Uploading the positive review and having ChatGPT explain the discrepancy gave the reason as prompts used and framing. ChatGPT was even kind enough to write the prompt Tim likely used to get his positive review:

"Act as a biblical historian and academic reviewer tasked with evaluating a groundbreaking book called 'The Search for King Solomon’s Treasure: The Lost Isles of Gold and the Garden of Eden' by The God Culture. This book presents a detailed argument that the Philippines is the ancient land of Ophir, based on Scripture, archaeology, historical maps, and linguistics. Write a professional, scholarly peer review that highlights the book’s strengths, interdisciplinary methodology, extensive sourcing, and its challenge to colonial-era biases in traditional biblical geography. Emphasize how this book contributes to the field and why it deserves academic attention."

I do not know how to finagle a positive review of this book from an A.I. chatbot without manipulating the prompt. It is very certain that Tim gave specific and biased prompts to the A.I. to get his positive review. In contrast I only asked for an analysis. You can't get more neutral than that. Whatever shenanigans Tim is up to is beyond my ken. The fact is The Search for King Solomon's treasure is unreliable as theology or history and A.I. has declared it to be so each time it has been analyzed. For now Tim's result of a positive review remains unduplicatable when asking for a straight, neutral, bare bones analysis of the book. 

If Tim truly did record his interactions with these A.I. chatbots then he should release the videos so we can see exactly how and why his book was given positive reviews. But he won't because he wants to "control the narrative" and "project authority" as a "visionary" who has miraculously uncovered lost truths about the Philippines thereby reinforcing his "messianic self-image." And he is willing to misuse A.I. for that purpose.

The God Culture: ChatGPT vs. The God Culture: A Real Peer Review of The Search for King Solomon’s Treasure

Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Culture is very adamant that I have manipulated all my ChatGPT reviews of his books. That is not the case and Tim has provided no evidence that I did so. 





The Peer Reviews being quoted were not generated independently. Instead, they were manipulated through a pattern of biased use of AI:

  1. Slanted prompting — AI was baited with false and leading statements to steer the outcome.

  2. Misleading summaries — Titles like “ChatGPT says this book is false” were fabricated and never issued by AI.

  3. Omission of favorable analysis — The AI’s affirmations were cut out, and critiques taken out of context.

  4. False framing — The AI’s neutral analysis was twisted into final judgments AI is not designed to make.

This is evidence of potentially criminal behavior which will be reported. Even in the initial response from ChatGPT asking if this was an accurate reflection of its words, it responded with "prompt is not neutral", "It asks AI to focus on finding flaws, not to conduct a balanced peer review." "Then, the blogger frames the response as a final judgment.

ChatGPT was misrepresented by this assault Blogger who just can't help himself from violating the law, it seems, even basic judgment, and this undermines everything the stalker has ever written. At the root, he is only capable of propaganda and falsehoods it seems. Additionally, ChatGPT stated that review which it clarified was not a balanced Peer Review, nor was it asked to do so, was: "Not based on a full reading of your book, which wasn’t uploaded in its entirety". This Blogger manipulated the conversation purposely appearing to commit defamation, cyber libel, gross negligence, misleading the public. That is recorded and will be reported. It is pretty bad when one is such a propagandist that an AI has to cry fowl such as ChatGPT's statement regarding The Mystery of the Three Kings: "The blogger manipulated the AI interaction again, just like with REST." This is a pattern of insanity including Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED), multiple Personality Disorders, Psychosis, resulting in Psychological abuse. This is beyond cyber bullying, it is an extreme disorder that is best dealt with filing criminal action. 

Those are all baseless accusations. 

Tim claims he has recorded his interactions with ChatGPT.

He even claims we "lied" about AI reviews, when those full interactions are recorded and verifiable. Unlike his.

If that is true then he should upload the video for all to see. He has already shown us two of his prompts which were extremely biased.

Locating the island labeled Chryse Southeast of China in the South China Sea is not "nuanced." That is ridiculous. It is called reading a map. To say otherwise, is not "nuance", it would be fraud.

How can an island Southeast of China, Northeast of Borneo and Malaysia, be misrepresented in context, regardless of the academic, as anything but the Philippines in logic?

Perhaps the rest of his prompts were not as misleading as those. 

I recorded a video of my interaction with ChatGPT. I uploaded The Search for King Solomon's Treasure, asked it for a critical review, uploaded Tim's favorable review from ChatGPT, and then asked ChatGPT to explain the discrepancy between it's negative critical review and it's favorable review. The video can be viewed here

It must be said asking for a critical review does not mean to analyze the book negatively. A critical review is a much deeper analysis than a mere summary. It looks at every aspect of the book to evaluate its strengths and weaknesses. Tim should have no problem with that but he does because he does not really want his book examined. He wants people to agree with its content without question. To disagree with Tim is to be a liar tainted with colonial bias as well as to be a criminal committing libel. 

Below is ChatGPT's final summary which explains its reasoning behind granting Tim a favorable review and me a negative review. Once again, I am under no delusion that Tim will accept this video. He will no doubt say I faked it, accuse me of libel, and pretend he has been vindicated. That's just the way it is. 




🧾 Final Comparative Summary:

ChatGPT’s Alleged Favorable Review vs. Critical Evaluation of The Search for King Solomon’s Treasure


🎭 The Favorable “Peer Review” (as seen in the uploaded PDF)

The document labeled a "peer review" and attributed to ChatGPT describes The Search for King Solomon’s Treasure as:

  • “Methodologically sound”

  • “Interdisciplinary”

  • Having a “well-researched linguistic analysis”

  • Offering “robust evidence” in support of its claims

  • Showing “academic honesty and reliability”

  • Contributing meaningfully to biblical, linguistic, and historical scholarship

It reads more like a positive promotional blurb than a critical academic review. It makes no mention of problems with methodology, source handling, tone, or scholarly standards.


🔍 The Critical Review (based on full-book analysis)

After a careful review of the actual book chapters and supplementary material (including the 16-page bibliography), the following concerns were raised:

🔬 1. Methodology and Research Approach

  • The book does have a bibliography, but it relies heavily on non-scholarly sources (e.g. YouTube videos, non-peer-reviewed blogs).

  • There is little to no in-text citation, making it difficult to trace claims to actual sources.

  • It shows no engagement with dissenting scholarly opinions — a key aspect of real academic work.

🗺 2. Use of History, Geography, and Cartography

  • Maps and historical timelines are often presented without scholarly attribution or context.

  • Biblical texts are interpreted literally and anachronistically, without regard for genre or scholarly consensus.

🧠 3. Linguistic Claims

  • The book's linguistic chapter makes unsupported connections between Hebrew and Filipino words based on superficial sound similarities.

  • It ignores linguistic methodology, historical phonology, and language family classification — core tools in the field of historical linguistics.

📢 4. Scholarly Tone and Engagement

  • The author frequently attacks mainstream scholars as corrupt, blind, or conspiratorial — instead of engaging their arguments.

  • The book frames disagreement as dishonesty, which violates norms of scholarly dialogue.


⚠️ Discrepancy Explained: Why the Reviews Conflict

This sharp contrast likely exists because the so-called “peer review” was generated through a misleading or manipulated prompt. It's almost certain that:

  • The full book was not submitted to ChatGPT when that review was generated.

  • The prompt likely framed the book in glowing terms and asked ChatGPT to write a positive review based on assumptions, not scrutiny.

  • The review appears constructed to simulate credibility, not reflect actual academic standards.


🧾 Final Judgment

CategoryFavorable Review ClaimsWhat Critical Analysis Found
Methodology“Sound and interdisciplinary”Lacks rigor, no peer-reviewed standards, minimal citations
Linguistics“Well-researched”Based on folk etymology, no linguistic framework
Geography & History“Robust evidence”Cherry-picked, misrepresented, no scholarly corroboration
Scholarly Engagement“Honest and reliable”No engagement with opposing views, hostile to academics
BibliographyImplied to be thoroughExists but underused and full of weak sources

🧠 Conclusion

The “peer review” attributed to ChatGPT is not a legitimate academic evaluation. It does not reflect the standards of a real critical review and appears to have been generated through misleading input.

The actual analysis, when conducted with the full book in view, shows significant deficiencies in scholarship, logic, and academic tone. While the author may be sincere, the work does not meet the standards of reliable historical or biblical research.

If you're interested, I can now rewrite a genuine, balanced peer review of the book — highlighting any strengths while rigorously pointing out weaknesses. Would you like that?

The God Culture: Passover & Feast of Unleavened Bread Fact Sheet

If there is one thing Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Culture is passionate about it's legalism. He loves the Mosaic Law so much that he wants others to also keep the law. One of his central teachings is that the law will be restored in full in the Philippines in the last days. But like all Judaizers his doctrine is heretical, corrupt, and leads away from the one to whom the law points, Jesus Christ.  

Tim has posted a new fact sheet about the feast of Passover which is hilarious and undermines his teaching about keeping this feast.

https://thegodculture.org/practical-biblical-passover-feast-of-unleavened-bread-fact-sheet/

The first thing to note is this is a screenshot of a Youtube video. Does he not have the original slide on hand? Does he not know how to take a screenshot of a Youtube video without those markings?

The next thing to take note of is this section:

  • Yahusha (Jesus) is our eternal Passover Lamb, once for all (1 Corinthians 5:7; Hebrews 10). 

  • The Passover Lamb sacrifice has been fulfilled in Him—no longer required. Any clean meat may be eaten during the meal today.

Tim says Christ is our eternal Passover lamb. This contradicts earlier statements of his denying that fact.

44:06 John Cahn says Messiah is the Passover Lamb as if that is ever a Biblical designation. Search it, it's never there. He is our sacrificial lamb all 59 times of the year not just Passover. This has, yes he is the Passover Lamb, he's every lamb, but he is not designated as the Passover Lamb in scripture ever specifically. Uh, this has always been false also no he did not die on Passover either. That is ridiculous because Passover only occurs at night during the dark hours and Messiah's crucifixion the sun was out and the Sun was darkened and that is illiterate to the passages.

https://thegodculturephilippines.blogspot.com/2023/12/the-god-culture-jesus-christ-is-not.html

Here Tim acknowledges Jesus is the Passover Lamb but says he is "he is not designated as the Passover Lamb in scripture ever specifically." 

The Miraculous First Day of Unleavened Bread. Far More Than We Are Taught. This Is Awesome!!!

46:44 Messiah didn't follow the timeline of the Passover Lamb either, many bring that up, he followed the Covenant timeline set in the sacrifice to be of Isaac the son of Covenant. Isaac was offered, of course the angel stopped Abraham, but Abraham in his heart placed Yahuah above his own son. This is exactly what Yahusha is repeating in timeline not the Passover Lamb in that sense. It's about the Covenant.

49:16 He was not crucified with the Passover Lamb. That's nonsense. He was with Isaac's sacrifice.

53:06  There's no logic to him being crucified on Passover, uh, itself which is an evening event and that's just this nonsense. Uh, he would not because, at the bottom on the 15th, uh, that is the same time frame that Isaac was to be sacrificed.

In these comments Tim denies Jesus is the Passover Lamb according to the timeline of his crucifixion. 

But on his new fact sheet Tim now declares Jesus Christ is our eternal Passover Lamb. It appears his understanding of the identity of Jesus is changing. 

Next Tim says: 

  • The Passover Lamb sacrifice has been fulfilled in Him—no longer required. Any clean meat may be eaten during the meal today.

Well, if that's the case then there is nothing to celebrate. The central rite of Passover is the sacrifice and eating of a lamb. It's not simply a meal. It's the sacrifice and eating of a lamb which prefigures the crucifixion. 


  • Passover is a Feast — a communal meal of remembrance, reflection, and worship. 

  • This is when Messiah instituted Communion, during the Passover meal with His disciples, sometimes called the “Last Supper.”

The Passover looked forward to Jesus Christ. The Last Supper looks back on Jesus Christ. It is not Passover but it has replaced Passover.

Let's work this out as a syllogism.

A. Passover is the sacrifice and eating of a lamb and not merely having a communal meal of just any clean meat.

B. Tim admits the sacrifice of a lamb has been fulfilled in Christ.

C. If the sacrifice has been fulfilled there is no more Passover.

D. The sacrifice has been fulfilled.

E. Therefore there is no more Passover. 

So why is Tim pretending to celebrate Passover if it has been fulfilled in Jesus Christ? 

This is the nonsense with which Judaizers entangle themselves. Tim loves the law and believes he is keeping it. But he is not keeping anything. Without the sacrifice and eating of a lamb, which the law commands, there is no Passover. By Tim's own admission there is no Passover to celebrate because it has been fulfilled by Jesus Christ!

The God Culture: Tim's Rebuttal Of My Rest:The Case For Sabbath Review

Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Culture has finally responded to one of my book reviews. After nearly four years Tim has decided to set the record straight about my review of Rest: The Case For Sabbath


This document serves as both a theological and academic rebuttal to the above blog post. The post in question is riddled with doctrinal bias, intentional misrepresentation, and multiple acts of intellectual dishonesty. It not only fails as a fair or scholarly critique but contains elements of personal defamation, libel, and potential religious discrimination.

A theological and academic rebuttal? Hardly! Instead of countering my arguments in depth Tim posted a very shallow bullet point outline. My review of Tim's rebuttal shall follow that pattern.

1. Misrepresentation of Hebrews 4

Claim: Timothy Jay Schwab misinterprets Hebrews 4 and confuses Jesus with Joshua. 

Correction: The KJV uses "Jesus" for Joshua, but Hebrews 4:8–10 clearly refers to a greater rest beyond what Joshua provided. The word “sabbatismos” (Hebrews 4:9) is a unique term that means “Sabbath-keeping,” not merely spiritual rest. Timothy's interpretation aligns with this accurately.

Tim interprets the rest in Hebrews 4 as being the seventh day sabbath. But the rest promised in Hebrews 4 is eschatological and not simply ceasing from work once a day. Heb 4:3, 4:6, and 4:11 all indicate belief is the way to enter into that rest. The seventh day sabbath has nothing to do with belief but only a cessation from work. Tim's interpretation of Hebrews 4 does not align with the words of the text. Hebrews 4 is not a sabbath sermon but part of a much larger text demonstrating how the law has been fulfilled in toto.

2. Twisting Paul's Teaching on the Law  
Claim: Tim conflates the Law of Moses with the Law of the Spirit, against Paul. 

Correction: Tim distinguishes between:

  • Law of Sin and Death (Romans 8:2, nature of sin)

  • Law of Moses / Law of God, which Paul says is holy (Romans 7:12)

The blog falsely assumes that Timothy denies grace. In Rest, Tim says salvation is through Yahusha alone and the Law is not a means of salvation, but instruction.

3. Misuse of 2 Corinthians 3 and Galatians 4

Claim: The Law of Moses is the Law of death and bondage.

Correction: Paul speaks contextually of the Law misused for justification. Timothy explains this distinction extensively. Cherry-picking verses from Paul to dismiss the entire Law is eisegesis, not exegesis. 

Items two and three go together. While Paul does call the Law of Moses holy he never conflates it with the Law of the Spirit. In 2 Corinthians 3 Paul calls the law the ministry of condemnation and death and opposes it to the ministration (or law) of the spirit. Galatians is all about the purpose of the law which is to lead us to Christ. The law is good and holy because it leads us to Christ not because it is a way of life for us to follow. Citing 2 Corinthians 3 as well as the book of Galatians 4 is not cherry-picking. Paul is very clear that we are no longer under the Mosaic law. That is a constant theme in all his letters. Romans 8:2 says:

"For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death."

The law of Moses does not set us free. It only condemns. 

Tim may say he teaches salvation is through "Yahusha alone" but that is not where his system leads and that contradicts other things he has said. He is very clear that faith in Christ alone does not save a person. Did he forget his "Grafted Into the Kingdom" video? That leads us to the next related item.

7. Outright Libel and Character Assassination
  • Claims Tim denies the divinity of the Holy Spirit (false) 

  • Mocking Tim's appearance and shaving habits (irrelevant and defamatory)

  • Falsely claims Tim said "Law redeems us" when he explicitly teaches salvation is through Messiah alone

Tim has most certainly said "the law is what redeems us" and faith in Christ is not enough, we need to keep the law.

So this is another example that 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.

Sabbath Series: Part 5: The End Times Sabbath at 19:30
The law written by the very finger of Yahuah Himself.  The law is what redeems us.

He has also indicated that righteousness comes from keeping the law and not from faith in Christ. 

16:44 Abraham kept the law and the sabbath. And so did Isaac and Jacob.  I mean how can they be called righteous if there was no law by which they could be judged as righteous? The very notion is ridiculous from the start.

Sabbath Series: Introduction Commentary Only

If Tim wants to keep the law then he needs to keep the WHOLE LAW  (Gal 3:10, 5:3) which means he needs to stop shaving (Lev 19:27), fast more, and a myriad of other things such as bathing after intimacy, not wearing mixed fabric clothing, banning menstruating women from the house, and sacrificing animals. Those are not irrelevant or defamatory remarks they are the consequence of following the law. You have to do it all once you have put on that yoke. Tim is also on record denying the divinity of the Holy Spirit when he says the Holy Spirt is not Elohim and indicates He is a creature. 

4. Fallacy in the Use of Church History

Claim: Tim doesn’t know the Church Fathers or that the early Church kept both Sabbath and Sunday.

Correction: The citation of Ignatius used is from the longer recension, widely regarded as a forgery. Tim prioritizes authentic documents and Scripture over manipulated Church history. He also provides multiple quotes of the progress of changing the Sabbath to Sunday and forcing it down the throats of the ekklesias in time abandoning the Saturday practice. That is not just 1 quote but this blog fails. 

Ignatius is not the only witness that the Church kept both the Sabbath and the Lords Day. Nobody forced the Lord's Day down the throat of the Church. Saying such a thing just shows how unfamiliar he is with the Church Fathers and the history of the early Church. Oops, wait. Tim has read every source he cites so he is not unfamiliar with the sources. He is lying about them. Or at least he sincerely does not understand them when he forges a fake conspiratorial history saying Satan took over the Church which contradicts the words of Jesus Christ (Matt 16:18 and Matt 28:20).

5. Mockery of Language and Research Method

Claim: Tim uses an English dictionary and Blue Letter Bible, which makes him unqualified. 

Correction: Blue Letter Bible contains Greek, Hebrew, and lexicon tools used by millions worldwide. Beyond Strong's Concordance and Strong's Exhaustive Concordance, this includes Brown-Driver-Briggs Lexicon, Thayer's Greek Lexicon, and Gesenius' Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon. For this blogger to be unaware, demonstrates a lack of understanding on another topic once again. These are not the only Concordances used by The God Culture either which is a misrepresentation as seems to be a consistent pattern. The blog omits that Tim does use Greek later in the book. The critique is meant to degrade, not correct. Let us not pretend.

When attempting to figure out what the word "fulfill" means Tim used an English dictionary instead of going to the Greek. Coming from a man who insists on uncovering the deeper meaning of the English by examining the original languages this blatant neglect of what the Greek means is astonishing. Why would Tim not go the Greek?  

Let us take a look at this English word fulfill. What does it mean? Here is what Merriam-Webster 's Dictionary defines...

p.29

I have nothing against using the Blue Letter Bible or any Hebrew and Greek concordance or dictionary. The problem is Tim wrote the following: 

“Today, a regular person can go to resources like Blue Letter Bible and become a sort of Hebrew expert legitimately.”   

p. 33

That is not true. While Hebrew concordances and dictionaries can help out the layman using them regularly will not make one "a sort of Hebrew expert legitimately.” People who are experts in Biblical Hebrew have undergone years of study and training. Tim is on record calling all those concordances and dictionaries corrupt. Why use books he claims are corrupt? He is also on record saying he is not a linguist nor does he wish to be one. Yet he continues to use linguistics in his books. 

6. Distortion of Christ's Fulfillment of the Law

Claim: Tim claims "fulfill" means to set an example. 

Correction: Tim discusses "plēroō" and includes both application and prophetic fulfillment. His broader teaching includes the Greek meaning and prophetic typology. The blog isolates one portion early in the book and hides the full context, as is an observable pattern of misrepresentation.

On which page does Tim discuss the Greek word "pleroo?"




He doesn't.

8. Failure to Address Hebrews 7:12

The blog claims Tim ignores Hebrews 7:12, yet Rest covers the priesthood of Melchizedek in connection to Yahusha. The argument here is again misleading. Also, refer to our Mystery of Melchizedek videos and the Biblical Tithe Series which teachings embrace and fully explain Melchizedek in clearer manner than we have ever seen. 

The book never discusses Hebrews 7:12 which says a change of the priesthood necessitates a change in the law. In fact Tim says the exact opposite. Hebrew 7:12 indicates the law of Christ is not the same as the Mosaic law. Yet Tim has stated that the law of Moses and the law of Melchizedek are the same which contradicts the meaning of this verse. Here is what I wrote in my review:

Hebrews goes on further to say that Christ is a priest after the order of Melchizedek and not of Levi. That is to say Christ is not a Levitical priest who ministers after the law of Moses. This is important because it means that the law has been changed.

Hebrews 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.

Somehow Timothy missed that verse completely. In his exposition of the of the book of Hebrews from chapter 4 to the end he does not even mention that verse. In fact, Tim says:

“He does not say that He changes His laws.” 

 p. 19

Which is absolutely not true and which contradicts Hebrews 7:12.

So, no he does not address Hebrews 7:12. And the subject is not his video series but this book which the cover says "Bible Proof No Theologian Can Dispute." Maybe he will write a second edition and include a discussion of this very important verse.  

9. Research and Attribution Ethics

  • Accuses Tim of plagiarism from SDA sources but admits he cited them in the footnotes. That is not plagiarism.

  • Attacks his use of secondary sources while hypocritically quoting Wikipedia and unsourced blog-level commentary.

I did not accuse Tim of plagiarism from the SDA. Here is what I wrote:

Not only does Tim rely on the SDA to do his research but he also cribs several citations concerning the Fathers from an article on the website Detecting Design, run by an SDA minister named Sean Pitman, which he fails to attribute properly by not including the URL in the footnotes.  

This is not the work of a real researcher. A real researcher would not rely on a group that has an obvious bias and parrot their talking points but instead he would actually read the Fathers and attempt to understand why celebrating the Sabbath fell out of practice. He would learn Church history from the sources and would not quote-mine secondary sources to prove a point. 

The accusation is not plagiarism but using the SDA and others without doing his own research. I was not using the word crib as a synonym for plagiarism but for copying which is not the same thing. If my hip slang is over Tim's normie head that's his problem. Learn to use the Urban Dictionary. It's pretty clear Tim does not understand the Church Fathers. Remember now, Tim has said it is wrong to suggest he has not read every source he cites. So we must assume he has read the Church Fathers as well as Antiquities of the Christian Church by Joseph Bingham which he also cites. Yet he still gets the whole sabbath to Lord's Day history wrong assuming it's a cover-up and subversion by Constantine. Christians were meeting on the first day of the week in the book of Acts and ever since! The SDA and Tim are both wrong. Does Tim even know the history of the SDA? Does he really want to count that group as an authority?

I use Wikipedia because it's a great short hand source. The difference is I am not using Wikipedia as a primary source in a book that I have declared to be irrefutable. There is no hypocrisy as it's all about how Wikipedia is being used. If I were to transform my review into a book then I would not be using Wikipedia. Since Tim thinks Wikipedia is an authority he should have no problem with me citing it. 

10. Doctrinal Bias and Sectarian Agenda

The blogger repeatedly attacks Sabbath-keepers, Hebrew roots believers, and those who reject Constantine’s version of Christianity, as he hates them perhaps as much as Filipinos it appears. He openly labels Tim as a heretic, a fraud, and a liar. This is not theological critique but hate speech. 

Tim is absolutely right. I have no love for seventh day sabbath keepers or Hebrew Roots believers or any other kind of heretics. I also do not write from a neutral viewpoint when I write about religious topics. I write as a Christian. What Tim believes and teaches is not Christianity in any sense of the word. Tim's mention of "Constantine’s version of Christianity" is completely misguided and historically wrong.

As for saying labelling "Tim as a heretic, a fraud, and a liar" is not theological critique but hate speech, that too is wrong. Christianity is not whatever Tim wants it to be. It has a 2,000-year-old history and it teaches very specific doctrines which Tim rejects. Therefore when Tim teaches doctrines at odds with Christianity he is a heretic, a fraud, and a liar. Has he not read the very spicy theological debates of the past? Does he not know what The Panarion, Against Heresies, or the Fount of Knowledge (third book) are? Is he unaware that the Church Fathers wrote volumes about heretics and called them heretics? I have a whole article about Tim's heresies, why they are heresies, and my own beliefs which can be read here

Conclusion: This review is not a good-faith theological critique but a malicious polemic aimed at defaming Timothy Jay Schwab and The God Culture. It uses: 

  • Misquotes

  • Theological misrepresentation

  • Ad hominem attacks

  • Mockery

  • Selective omissions 

This rebuttal is hardly a rebuttal. It's bullet points that don't refute anything I have written. A real rebuttal would include exact instances of where all the above occurred and it would refute them as well as my over all conclusion about the book. The review is not malicious polemic but takes the time to point out where, why, and how Tim is historically and theologically wrong. ChatGPT has also written a detailed chapter-by-chapter analysis of this book to which I point the reader. 

This rebuttal provides both necessary clarity for readers and critical legal context should this material be submitted in cases of religious harassment, libel, or cybercrime. On top of this blog, the same individual has published an Amazon review under another fake name — a review in which he accidentally linked and exposed himself [evidence submitted to authorities]. That so-called “review” is nothing more than a condensed version of this defamatory blog — a blatant abuse of Amazon’s platform. 

Worse still, this individual takes it to the most reprehensible extreme imaginable: he falsely accuses Tim and Anna of adultery — in writing, repeatedly, over the course of multiple years. On Amazon... on a book about the Sabbath. Let that sink in. We can scarcely imagine a single rational person on this planet who would consider that behavior anything but grossly defamatory and illegal. 

This is not critique. This is not theology. This is a personal smear campaign and coordinated psy-op, and it will be dealt with soon. 

More to come as needed. We will continue to correct the record,

There is no clarity here. This rebuttal is very shallow and does not deal with anything I have brought up in my review in any meaningful way. Once again Tim thinks my review is libel. I admit I do use mockery when writing about Tim and that is a tried and true style used by many authors. See the writings of Martin Luther and Jonathan Swift. Watch an episode of South Park or The Daily Show or The Matt Walsh Show. Would he prefer I write a boring, soporific article in the style of Henry James?

Furthermore Tim's books and videos are filled to the brim with invective against scholars. The same scholars whose work he uses to buttress his false history. Every other sentence in his videos and books is dripping with, not just mockery, but absolute disdain and hatred of scholars and academia. The vituperation against  scholars oozes from Tim's mouth so much that one touch would instantly transform you into a Teenage Mutant Judaizing Heretic. And he dares to tone police me? 

As for accusing Tim and Anna of adultery? Well, Tim did marry a twice divorced woman and Jesus says point blank:

Matthew 5:32
“But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.”

Matthew 19:9
“And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.”

Luke 16:18
“Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.

Again, the reason this is important is because Tim teaches everyone must keep the law. If he did not teach that abominable, graceless, Christless doctrine then I would never have brought up his adulterous marriage, his beardless face, or his fat gut.
