The God Culture: Death of The God Culture Philippines

In 2025 Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Culture launched a new blog. That blog was was titled The God Culture Philippines. Here is the announcement from The God Culture's Youtube page.

📢 Introducing Our New Official Blog: The God Culture Philippines 

🌐 Visit now: https://thegodculturephilippines.com 

We are pleased to announce the launch of our third official website, The God Culture Philippines, now joining TheGodCulture.org and TheGodCulture.com. This site serves as a dedicated Biblical History Library and Blog, offering deeper insights into ancient geography, prophecy, and forgotten truths—organized in an easy-to-navigate, topical format. 

🔎 Why a Third Site? This platform was developed to provide an expanded blog-based format for articles, in-depth analysis, fact checks, and more. It is designed to complement our videos, books, and existing research across our network. As always, we remain committed to restoring Biblical truth with academic rigor, historical accuracy, and spiritual integrity. 

🚨 A Note on Impostors and Misinformation We want to caution our readers: there are impersonators misusing our name, logo, and brand—spreading misinformation and engaging in defamatory behavior. These actions are not only unethical but may also constitute legal violations. 

We encourage everyone to always verify the legitimacy of content using our official channels listed above. 

Unfortunately, one blogger in particular continues to spread false, defamatory claims while harassing members of our team, our families, and even unrelated individuals. This individual has crossed multiple legal lines—both in terms of cyber libel and harassment—and has already been reported to the proper authorities. Steps are being taken to ensure accountability. We do not make these statements lightly, but the record must be set straight. 

✅ Our Commitment We remain focused on the mission: Restoring the truth of Scripture, correcting centuries of distortion, and providing a platform where research and revelation meet. We invite you to explore the new blog, engage with the content, and be part of the journey to reclaim Biblical history.

📘 New articles are now live—come take a look:

As can be seen in the highlighted paragraph and by the name of this new website it was all a dig at me and my blog thegodculturephilippines.blogspot.com. Tim even wrote several articles responding directly to my criticism of his blatantly shoddy and fallacious "research." 

The most active part of Tim's new blog was a section titled The Smoking Quill.

https://thegodculturephilippines.com/the-smoking-quill-series/

EXPLOSIVE NEW SERIES

THE SMOKING QUILL

Torch the Fog. Reclaim the Truth.

Purpose: To systematically document and expose examples of entrenched colonial bias in academic literature, historiography, archaeology, linguistics, theology, and geography. This new series will provide evidence of omission, redirection, or reinterpretation that favors Western paradigms while suppressing alternative, often indigenous or Eastern, understandings. 

For a while Tim was publishing at a furious pace. The amount of information he was publishing was enormous and much of it was new research attempting prove the Lequios Islands (Ryukyu Islands) are actually part of Northern Luzon. It was so overwhelming that I was able to publish a rebuttal every day for 3 and a half months. It was a sustained salvo back and forth between the both of us. Most importantly it revealed not only much about Tim's personal character but it also unveiled his research methods for all the world to see in real time!  

This blog is filled with many articles rebutting Tim's unscrupulous new research methods. One example is that Tim claimed a certain document was a mere two pages, gave a summary of it, and published that authoritatively. However I found the full 29-page document within about five minutes of looking for it. When I published a link to the full text and called Tim out for his shoddy research he only doubled down and said I proved him right which was far from the case. He also claimed the document had suddenly "resurfaced" when in fact it had been online since 2018. You can read the full article here: The God Culture: The Ginés De Mafra Deception Proves The Poor Research Skills of "The God Culture Research Team."

Well, I do not know when it happened but The God Culture Philippines has been deleted and the URL now reroutes to thegodculture.org. That means, for the moment anyway, every bit of new research Tim published in 2025 is unavailable to the public. Therefore all the links on this blog which refer to that website are now dead.  Likewise, all the links to that website on his Facebook and Youtube pages are now dead.

This deletion was done with no fanfare or notice to his audience. Neither his Facebook page nor his Youtube page alert his audience that he was deleting the blog. 

Surely, the "research" Tim wrote about is stored on his hard drive and he will be publishing it as a part of a book. Otherwise what would be the point? He would be conceding that I was correct and everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING, he wrote about on The Smoking Quill was pure nonsense and lies.  Perhaps he will republish it on his other website. Speculation is fruitless because there are other plausible scenarios. The one thing that can be known for sure is that this blog remains a repository for and witness to all the ridiculous "research" published on The Smoking Quill  by Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Culture. 

The God Culture: Review of Adventures In The Light

In November 2025 Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Culture added a new notch in his belt: children's author. He published three books aimed at children to instill in them heretical anti-trinitarian, legalistic, and Hebrew Roots type beliefs. The series is called Adventures in the Light. I have previously written an extensive review of book one which can be read here. Shortly after that I uploaded all three books to ChatGPT which gave a short review of the whole series. 

This is that review.

Never forget the harsh warning Jesus had for men who seek to corrupt and lead children astray like Timothy Jay Schwab.

Mark 9:42 And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

Since you've reviewed all three books and their corresponding "Parent Study Notes," I can now provide a final, consolidated summary of the theological agenda embedded within The God Culture's "Adventures in the Light"children's series.

The series is not merely a collection of simple Bible stories; it is a sequential, three-part curriculum designed for theological initiation and identity formation within a separatist, non-Trinitarian Sabbatarian movement.

---

🎯 The Overarching Theological Agenda

The core agenda of the series is the Restoration of Ancient Roots to establish a distinct identity separate from mainstream Christianity, which the authors view as apostate or corrupted.

1. The Foundation: Book 1 (Yahuah: The Name of)

• Doctrine Established: Sacred Name Theology and Apostasy.

• Message to the Child: The most important truth about God is His specific Hebrew name, Yahuah. The world (mainstream church) has forgotten this name, but your family is rediscovering it.

• Theological Effect: This lays the foundation for exclusivity. It teaches the child that knowledge of the true God is contingent upon knowing and using the correct Hebrew name, minimizing the traditional Trinitarian revelation.

---

2. The Practice: Book 2 (Rest: The Day I Rest)

• Doctrine Established: Sabbatarian Legalism and Covenant Sign.

• Message to the Child: True worship requires strict adherence to the seventh-day Sabbath (Saturday). This practice is an eternal ordinance that marks you as belonging to Yahuah's people, unlike those who observe Sunday.

• Theological Effect: This introduces legalism (salvation/belonging is tied to adherence to a specific day) and forces social separation from peers, reinforcing the "us vs. them" worldview already established by the Sacred Name doctrine.

---

3. The Validation: Book 3 (Echo: The Great Bible Treasure)

• Doctrine Established: Revisionist History and Archaeological Validation.

• Message to the Child: The true faith was preserved by John the Baptist and the "Sons of Light" at the Dead Sea Scrolls site (Qumran). This is archaeological proof that your family's beliefs (Yahuah's Name and the Sabbath) are the original, uncorrupted truth.

• Theological Effect: This authoritatively validates the group's specific beliefs by linking them to accepted historical events (DSS) and revered biblical figures (John the Baptist). It completes the ideological separation by placing the child's faith in a historically-superior, purified line of religious thought.

---

🛑 Final Assessment: Insidious Character

The series is insidious because it uses the attractive format of children's picture books to introduce doctrines that are fundamentally anti-Trinitarian, legalistic, and sectarian. The gentle narratives serve as a gateway to an adult theology that rejects core tenets of historic Christian faith and seeks to alienate the believer from the broader Church body.

The authors use the Grandpa/Eliora dialogue as a trusted means of indoctrination, teaching children to view themselves as part of a restored remnant possessing a secret truth that is superior to all other forms of Christian practice.

The God Culture: What Is Love?

Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Culture has a new Foundations lesson. This time he is asking What is Love? Surely there is no greater love than that of the Father for his Children manifested through the Son Jesus Christ. The Bible has much to say about that. Does Tim have anything to say about the love of God towards us?

Facebook

FOUNDATIONS – Week 38

What Is Love?

Key Texts:

Deuteronomy 6; John 14:15; 1 John 5

Note: This topic could be an entire book, but remember, this is a brief FB post.

Few words are used more often than love.

We are told that love means accepting.

Affirming.

Feeling compassion.

Never offending.

Never correcting.

But how does Scripture define love? Or is it shallow doctrine of men?

Moses commanded Israel:

> “And thou shalt love Yahuah thy Elohim with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.”

> (Deuteronomy 6:5)

But the passage doesn't stop with an emotion.

Immediately afterward:

> “And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart.”

> (Deuteronomy 6:6)

Biblical love begins in the heart...

but it does not remain merely a feeling.

It changes how we live. It is an action.

Yahusha says it plainly:

> “If ye love Me, keep My commandments.”

> (John 14:15)

That is remarkable in its simplicity.

Love and obedience are not enemies.

Yahusha connects them.

And John later provides perhaps the clearest definition of all:

> “For this is the love of Elohim, that we keep His commandments: and His commandments are not grievous.”

> (1 John 5:3)

Notice what Scripture does not say.

“This is the love of Elohim—that we feel strongly about Him.”

“This is the love of Elohim—that we call His name.”

“This is the love of Elohim—that we agree with everything everyone does.”

Instead:

> “This is the love of Elohim, that we keep His commandments.”

Biblical love is not merely something we feel.

It is something we walk out.

And this applies to loving one another as well:

> “By this we know that we love the children of Elohim, when we love Elohim, and keep His commandments.”

> (1 John 5:2)

That changes the modern equation.

Loving people cannot mean encouraging them to walk contrary to the One who is love.

True love seeks what is good.

True love speaks truth.

True love shows mercy.

True love forgives.

True love serves.

True love remains faithful.

And true love obeys.

The greatest commandment is not merely to feel love toward Yahuah.

It is to love Him with all our heart, soul, and might.

Biblical love is not affection without truth.

It is covenant faithfulness expressed in how we live.

Question for Discussion

If Yahusha said, “If ye love Me, keep My commandments,” should we allow our culture—or even our religion—to redefine what love means?

NO!  Tim has NOTHING to say about the love of God towards us in the supreme manifestation of Christ's sacrifice on the cross. NOTHING!!!

John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

1 John 14:10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins

Those two verses are rich in defining the love of God towards us. Yet Tim has nothing to say about them. Tim's definition of love is "keep the Mosaic law." Tim's definition of love his man-centered and based on our obedience rather than God-centered and based on His covenant with His people.  

There have now been 38 Foundations lessons and not a single one of them has been about the work of Christ on the cross. Not one. For a man like Timothy Jay Schwab who has been a Bible teacher for over thirty years that is despicable and contemptible. The man clearly has no idea what the Bible teaches and he has no use for Jesus Christ and Him crucified. 

Now let's hear from noted theological Father Ted Crilly. 

Ah, right… puts the cup down slowly, stares at the page, and lets out a long, heavy breath

Week 38. “What Is Love?”

And would you look at that. He’s done it again — and this time it’s almost impressive in its single-mindedness.

He starts with Deuteronomy 6: love Yahuah with all your heart, soul, and might… and then immediately ties it to the commandments being in the heart. Fair enough so far. Then John 14:15 — “If ye love Me, keep My commandments.” Still in the text. Then 1 John 5:3 — “For this is the love of Elohim, that we keep His commandments.” And he leans on that as “perhaps the clearest definition of all.”

He’s not inventing the verses. They’re real. Love and obedience are connected. Scripture does not treat love as mere warm feeling or modern “never offend anyone.” On that narrow point he’s right to push back against the culture.

But — and this is the part that makes you want to sit down with a very strong cup of tea — look at what never gets a look in.

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

The love of Christ constraineth us… because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead.

The supreme definition and demonstration of love in the whole of Scripture is the cross. The self-giving, substitutionary death of the Son for the ungodly. That is the love that creates love in us. That is the love from which all true obedience flows. Tim never mentions it. Not once. Not a word about the blood, the propitiation, the “while we were yet sinners.”

Instead, the gravitational pull of the whole lesson is the same as every other Foundations post: love is defined as keeping the commandments. And in Tim’s system, that almost always means the Torah framework he has been building week after week. So the cross is left outside the door again, while “keep My commandments” is made to carry the entire weight of the definition.

He can quote John 14 and 1 John 5 all day long. He just never lets the larger New Testament witness set the centre: that we love because He first loved us — and that first love was displayed most fully when the Son laid down His life.

sighs, reaches for the teapot with both hands

So yes, lad. This one might well be the worst of the lot so far. Not because the verses are wrong, but because the heart of the gospel definition of love is simply missing. He’s turned the greatest demonstration of love in history into a supporting footnote that never even gets written.

Go on. Make it very strong this time.

Careful now.

Down with this sort of thing.thing.

The God Culture: What Is Fear of Yahuah?

Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Culture is back with another Foundations article. This time he's asking What is Fear of Yahuah? Well, this would obviously tie back to the previous What is Wisdom lesson because the fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom. And of course Christ is our wisdom. Will Tim tie the fear of the Lord back to Jesus Christ who is our Lord and in whom all the treasures of wisdom are hid? Let's find out. 

Facebook

FOUNDATIONS – Week 37

What Is the Fear of Yahuah?

Key Texts: Proverbs 1:7; Psalm 111; Matthew 10:26–31

The phrase “fear of Yahuah” appears throughout Scripture.

But what does it mean?

Does Yahuah actually want us to fear Him?

Or does “fear” simply mean respect?

Scripture gives us a much richer answer.

Proverbs begins:

> “The fear of Yahuah is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.”

> (Proverbs 1:7)

Fear of Yahuah is not presented as spiritual immaturity.

It is the beginning of knowledge.

Psalm 111 says:

> “The fear of Yahuah is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do His commandments.”

> (Psalm 111:10)

Notice the connection:

Fear.

Wisdom.

Understanding.

Obedience.

Biblical fear recognizes who Yahuah actually is.

Creator.

King.

Judge.

Father.

The One to whom we ultimately answer.

Yahusha did not eliminate this fear.

He taught it.

> “And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”

> (Matthew 10:28)

Those are strong words. Note: Satan has no such power.

Yahusha tells His disciples not to organize their lives around fear of men.

Why?

Because men do not possess ultimate authority.

Yahuah does.

But Yahusha does something remarkable immediately afterward.

He speaks of sparrows.

> “Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.”

> (Matthew 10:29)

Then:

> “But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.”

> (Matthew 10:30)

And finally:

> “Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.”

> (Matthew 10:31)

Do you see the distinction?

Fear Yahuah.

Do not fear the world.

The One whose authority should cause us to fear is also the Father who knows every hair upon our heads.

Biblical fear therefore isn't mindless terror.

But neither is it merely casual respect.

It is recognizing Yahuah's absolute holiness, authority, judgment, and power—and ordering our lives accordingly.

It produces reverence.

Humility.

Wisdom.

Obedience.

And freedom from the fear of men.

The fear of Yahuah does not leave us afraid of everything.

It teaches us whom we never needed to fear in the first place.

Question for Discussion

If we truly feared Yahuah above men, what fears would lose their power over our lives?

This is undoubtedly the key passage from Tim's lesson:

It is recognizing Yahuah's absolute holiness, authority, judgment, and power—and ordering our lives accordingly.

We revere God and we keep his commandments, i.e. the Mosaic Law including all the feasts and all the ceremonial laws. You know, all the stuff that Christ fulfilled and which Christians are no longer obligated to perform. See Galatians 3 and Acts 15. 

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and as with all things this fear should lead us to Jesus Christ who "is made unto us wisdom. Instead of Christ, Tim directs his audience to the dead letter of the abrogated Mosaic Law. Remember Christ has come not as an Aaronic priest but as a priest of Melchizedek.

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.

Of course Tim's way around this is to claim the Law of Melchizedek IS the Law of Moses. An assertion not backed up by scripture. 

There is only ONE work that matters and Tim always leaves it out. Believing on Jesus Christ. 

John 6:28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?

29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

That might appear like believing is something one does completely on their own but Jesus dispels that notion further on down in this chapter. 

John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.

All we have and all we do is a gift from the Lord working in us to do of his good pleasure (Philippians 2:13). It's a wonder a man who has been teaching the Bible for thirty years such as Timothy Jay Schwab continues to get it wrong and direct people away from Christ and back to Moses. 

But let's hear what noted theologian Father Ted Crilly has to say about the matter. 

Ah, right… puts down the biscuit, adjusts the collar, and looks at the page like a man who’s just spotted another carefully worded trap

Week 37. “What Is the Fear of Yahuah?”

Well now. Let’s see what Tim’s done with one of the weightiest phrases in the whole Bible.

He starts where he should: Proverbs 1:7 and Psalm 111:10. Fear of Yahuah is the beginning of knowledge and wisdom. Fair enough. Then he leans hard into the second half of Psalm 111:10 — “a good understanding have all they that do His commandments.” And there it is. The immediate link to obedience. Reverence → wisdom → understanding → doing the commandments. Classic Tim architecture.

Then he brings in Matthew 10, which is actually a strong passage. Yahusha tells the disciples not to fear those who can only kill the body, but to fear the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. And then, in the same breath, He speaks of sparrows and numbered hairs and says “Fear ye not therefore.” That’s a proper biblical tension: holy dread of the Judge, and simultaneous confidence in the Father who knows every detail of your life. Tim handles that part reasonably well. Credit where it’s due.

But — and you knew there was a but — look at what never appears.

You said it yourself, lad. The fear of Yahuah is the beginning of wisdom. And the New Testament is crystal clear about where that wisdom is found:

“But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.” (1 Corinthians 1:30)

“In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” (Colossians 2:3)

Tim can quote the Proverbs and the Psalm until the cows come home, but he never takes the step the apostles took. The fear that is the beginning of wisdom is meant to drive us to the One who is the wisdom of God. Instead, in this series, “ordering our lives accordingly” and “obedience” almost always mean the same thing they’ve meant for thirty-odd weeks: keep the commandments, walk in the ways, live inside the Torah framework as Tim understands it.

So the fear of Yahuah produces reverence, humility, wisdom, and obedience… and the discussion question asks what earthly fears would lose their power if we feared Him above men. All true as far as it goes. But the deepest answer a Christian can give is never just “I would stop fearing men.” It is “I have been brought to the One who bore the judgment I deserved, and in Him I find both the fear of the Lord and the perfect love that casts out terror.”

Tim never gets there. He leaves the Man who is Wisdom outside the room while he polishes another definition that ends with us examining our own obedience.

sighs, reaches for the teapot again

Go on. Make it strong.

We’re still watching the same gravitational pull — law as the centre, Christ as the supporting actor.

Careful now.

Down with this sort of thing… still firmly in place.

The God Culture: What is Wisdom?

Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Culture has a new Foundations lesson. This time he is asking "What is Wisdom." Every Christian knows that Christ is the Wisdom of God. But does Tim know that? Let's take a look.

Facebook

FOUNDATIONS – Week 36

What Is Wisdom?

Key Texts: Proverbs 1; Proverbs 8; James 3

Our world prizes intelligence.

Education.

Knowledge.

Expertise.

The ability to argue well.

But are any of these necessarily wisdom?

Scripture begins somewhere else:

> “The fear of Yahuah is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.”

> (Proverbs 1:7)

Biblical wisdom begins with our relationship to Yahuah.

Before Scripture asks how much we know, it asks whether we recognize who He is.

And wisdom requires something else increasingly unpopular:

instruction.

The wise can be taught.

The fool rejects correction.

Proverbs 8 takes us even deeper.

Wisdom declares:

> “Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.”

> (Proverbs 8:14)

Then wisdom describes Yahuah's ordering of creation:

> “When He prepared the heavens, I was there...”

> (Proverbs 8:27)

Wisdom is therefore not merely knowing facts.

It recognizes the order Yahuah established and teaches us how to live within it.

But how can we recognize wisdom in someone?

James gives us a test:

> “Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.”

> (James 3:13)

Notice what James does not say.

“Let him show how intelligent he is.”

“Let him win an argument.”

“Let him display his credentials.”

Instead:

Show us your life.

James then warns that jealousy, selfish ambition, and strife can masquerade as wisdom:

> “This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.”

> (James 3:15)

Not everything called wisdom comes from Yahuah.

So James gives us the identifying marks of the real thing:

> “But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.”

> (James 3:17)

There is the biblical test.

Wisdom has fruit.

Pure.

Peaceable.

Gentle.

Teachable.

Merciful.

Impartial.

Without hypocrisy.

Biblical wisdom is therefore more than knowing what is true.

It is learning from Yahuah how to live what is true.

Knowledge may tell us what Scripture says.

Wisdom teaches us how to walk in it.

Question for Discussion

If Scripture measures wisdom by its fruit rather than intelligence, education, or the ability to win an argument...

What evidence of wisdom does our life actually produce?

Look at that! Tim completely side steps Christ and ties Wisdom to our works, i.e. keeping the law. Christ is the Wisdom of God. In him are hid all the treasures of Wisdom. 

1 Corinthians 1:30 30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

Colossians 2:2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;

3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

Wisdom is not bearing fruit by keeping the law. It is salvation in Christ. Read more about Christ being the Wisdom of God here.

Amazing! But, given Tim's track record it's par for the course that he would neglect Jesus Christ. 

Let's hear what noted theologian Father Ted Crilly has to say about the matter. 

Ah, right… sits up, adjusts the collar, and peers at the page with the weary look of a man who’s just been handed another parish newsletter full of half-truths

Week 36. “What Is Wisdom?”

Well now. Let’s have a look at Tim’s latest attempt to redefine the dictionary.

He starts in the right neighbourhood, I’ll give him that. Proverbs 1:7 — “The fear of Yahuah is the beginning of knowledge.” Solid. The wise can be taught; the fool despises correction. Still grand. Proverbs 8 with wisdom present at the ordering of creation — fair enough, that’s in the text. And then James 3, which is actually one of the sharper tests in the whole New Testament: wisdom shows itself in meekness, purity, peaceableness, gentleness, mercy, without partiality or hypocrisy. Not in how clever you sound or how many arguments you win. Credit where it’s due — James is doing real work there.

But — and you knew this was coming — watch what he does with it.

The whole lesson never once mentions the One whom Paul calls “the wisdom of God.”

1 Corinthians 1:24 — Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

1 Corinthians 1:30 — Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.

Tim can quote Proverbs 8 about wisdom being there when the heavens were prepared, but he never takes the step the apostles took: that the same wisdom who ordered creation is the One who hung on the cross. The cross is the supreme display of God’s wisdom — the thing that confounds the wise of this world and saves those who believe. Tim’s definition stops at “learning from Yahuah how to live what is true” and “walking in it.”

In the Foundations series, “walking in it” is never neutral language. It almost always means: keep the commandments, observe the Torah, live inside the order as Tim understands it. So once again the gravitational pull is toward our performance, our fruit, our meek conversation, our teachability.

James is right — wisdom has fruit. But the New Testament never treats that fruit as the source of wisdom. The source is Christ Himself. We are made wise by being united to the One who is Wisdom. Tim never says that. He leaves the Man outside the door again while he polishes up another definition that ends with us examining our own lives for evidence.

And the discussion question?

“If Scripture measures wisdom by its fruit… what evidence of wisdom does our life actually produce?”

Ah, there it is. Back to us. Back to the mirror. Not “Have we been brought to the One who is the wisdom of God?” but “How’s our fruit looking?”

sighs, reaches for the teapot

So there you are, lad. Another week, another carefully constructed definition that quotes good verses, sounds pious, and quietly sidesteps the crucified and risen Christ as the very centre of the thing it’s defining.

Go on. Pour us a strong one.

I’ve a feeling Week 37 will be along any minute, and God alone knows what he’ll do to “What Is Faith” or “What Is Love” when he finally gets there.

Careful now.

Down with this sort of thing… still watching closely.

The God Culture: AI Voice Clone Of Tim's Voice

On August 22, 2026 Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Culture excitedly announced his return with a whole new series. He hasn't posted any regular video series in quite some time which excited his viewers who left grateful sentiments in the comment section. Let's take a look at this new series. 

THE FORGOTTEN HIGHWAY TO THE ISLES OF GOLD. Episode 1: The Wind That Built Asia 

What if the geography behind Marco Polo’s Zipangu has been interpreted without first reconstructing the maritime world in which sailors actually traveled?

The Forgotten Highway to the Isles of Gold begins a source-driven investigation into the winds, currents, trade routes, maps, coordinates, resources, and historical records that shaped navigation between China, Southeast Asia, the Philippines, and Japan.

Rather than beginning with the conventional identification of Zipangu and working backward, this series starts with the physical and documentary evidence: medieval Muslim mariners, Chinese trade records, monsoon navigation, archaeological shipwrecks, historical routes to Japan, early maps, Pigafetta, Magellan, and Marco Polo himself.

The central question is simple:

If we remove the modern place-names and follow the ships, where does the evidence lead?

This series accompanies the research presented in The Age of Exploration: Primary Sources and the Correction of Global Geography.

Follow the source. Follow the wind. Follow the ship. And test the map.

Sources are on-screen. Book coming soon.

Yah Bless

Oh, great. It's a rehash of old material in support of a forthcoming book that allegedly corrects global geography. Don't forget, the major project of magazine publisher cum armchair Bible historian Timothy Jay Schwab is to correct everything everyone knows. The major prophetic land in the Bible is not Israel but the Philippines, so all roads must lead to the Philippines. In this case the road is one of riches and gold. The Philippines is Japan (Zipnagu) and the Lequios (Ryukyu Islands). 

Tim must be very involved in that book because as of this writing, September 18th, 2026, there have been no more videos released. The last video was released on September 3rd.

It could be that Tim is just too busy writing to release any more videos. But if that's the case why announce his return and release four videos in rapid succession indicating there is more to come?

To make matters worse not only is the actual video AI slop but so is the voiceover! Instead of speaking himself Tim has fed a script to a clone of his own voice!

@leela4979 hi Tim, is the audio AI generated?

@TheGodCulture It is a voice clone of Tim's voice. Yah Bless.

Is it really so hard for Tim to sit down and record a ten minute video? These videos vary in length from 5:08 to 11:53. Perhaps he just fed the clone parts from his book? Whatever the case it's poor form and a slap to the face of all his viewers. 

With so much AI being used in the production of these videos one wonders how much AI will be used in writing all forthcoming books, songs, education courses, and all other projects by Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Culture.
