The God Culture: 100 Lies About The Philippines: #6 The Philippines is Chryse and Argyre

Image
Welcome back to 100 lies The God Culture teaches about the Philippines. Today's lie concerns Timothy Jay Schwab's claim that the Philippine Islands are the mythical island of gold and silver known as Chryse and Argyre. This claim is central to his teaching that the Philippines is Ophir. Let's take a closer look. Tim claims, with absolutely no proof, that the ancient source of Greek gold and silver was the land of Chryse and  Argyre which was really the Philippines. Why would they sail all that way for gold? He never tells us and he totally ignores the fact gold was available in Greek mines. Here is what that looks like according to Timothy Jay Schwab. The top island is Chryse which Tim claims is Luzon and the bottom island is  Argyre which he claims is Mindanao. Hello?? Where are the Visayas?  What he is telling us is that the Greeks sailed to the Philippines, set up colonies, but were not able to accurately map the area! That is ridiculous and ma...

The God Culture: 100 Lies About The Philippines: #5 Ancient Greeks in the Philippines

Image
Welcome back to 100 lies The God Culture teaches about the Philippines. Today's lie concerns Timothy Jay Schwab's claim that there was an Ancient Greek presence in the Philippines. Again, it's another claim that is obviously a lie but seeing as Tim makes this claim in all seriousness and he has gullible people believing him without doing what he claims which is test all things including himself it needs to be debunked. There are two places were Tim makes the claim that there was an Ancient Greek presence in the Philippines. The first one is in video Clue #2. https://youtu.be/kWjFtcV_6Nc This video has been edited but in the original beginning at 5:27 Timothy Schwab says: "When we visited Butuan, Philippines in May we were actually able to see this Greek armor which was found in 2018 in the Philippines. The thing is  these are indisputably Greek  from the symbols and the structure and they are  dated all the way back to 800 B.C. up to about 480 B.C.  " Now that is ...

The God Culture: 100 Lies About The Philippines: #4 Filipinos Circumnavigated Africa

Image
Welcome back to 100 lies The God Culture teaches about the Philippines. Today's lie concerns the claim that ancient Filipinos and Greeks were engaged in trade by circumnavigating Africa. This lie is so outrageous that I should not have to even point out its falsehood yet Timothy Jay Schwab insists that it is true so here we are.  The lie that ancient Filipinos and Greeks circumnavigated Africa is alluded to but not explicitly detailed on page 136 of Tim's book The Search for King Solomon's Treasure.  Solomon's Treasure, pg. 136 Even after Solomon, King Jehoshaphat attempted to rebuild and re-establish this trade with Ophir yet the ships were destroyed by Yahuah (1Ki. 22:48). Understand that is very close to the era in which the Northern Kingdom was about to be taken captive into the very land Jonah was preaching repentance and salvation.  Therefore, Ophir had to bring goods to Israel instead which we see in Jonah’s story. The ships of Tarshish were certainly trading in ...

The God Culture: 100 Lies About The Philippines: #3 Queen City of the South

Image
Welcome back to 100 lies The God Culture teaches about the Philippines. Today's lie concerns the nickname of Cebu City which is The Queen City of the South. Timothy Jay Schwab says no one knows how that moniker was bestowed upon Cebu City but as we shall see that is simply another lie. This lie can be found on pages 87-88 of Timothy's book The Search for King Solomon's Treasure. Solomon's Treasure, pg 87-88 Cebu City today is still  known as the “Queen City of the South” and no one seems to coherently know where that identifier originated. Iloilo, Panay, also in Visayas near Cebu, has the same nomenclature. It likely originated in Matthew 12:42 as Messiah called Sheba the “Queen of the South” which is the same connotation of Cebu and Iloilo today (Matt. 12:42, Luke 11:30).  Along the same vein, Sheba means 7 and Cebu just by chance happens to be in Region 7. Additionally, is it not fascinating that Lake Sebu in Mindanao has Seven Falls or Sheba Fa...

The God Culture: 100 Lies About The Philippines: #2 Ferdinand Pinto Located The Philippines at 9N20

Image
Welcome back to 100 lies The God Culture teaches about the Philippines. Today's lie concerns Ferdinand Pinto's shipwreck on the Lequios islands. Timothy Jay Schwab claims that Pinto located the Lequios islands at coordinates that match the Philippines and concludes that the Philippine islands are the Lequios islands. But as we shall see that is a lie.  This lie can be found on page 163 of  Timothy Jay Schwab's book The Search for King Solomon's Treasure.  Solomon's Treasure, pg. 163 Contemporary to Magellan, Ferdinand Pinto classified the Lequios  and Chinese as the wealthiest in the Orient trading in gold and silver  especially. He defines the Lequios Islands as an archipelago, not Taiwan, as well as a separate country. He also differentiates the  Lequios as not Japan, China, Indonesia nor Malaysia but in between those.  Pinto also travelled to the Lequios Islands from Malaysia  headed North which he placed in t...

The God Culture: Will the Feasts of the Lord be Reinstated in the Philippines?

Image
  Timothy Jay Schwab of The God Culture is a man with many heretical and anti-Christian doctrines. One of those doctrines is that we must keep the Feasts of the Lord.  There are seven Feasts and we are obligated to keep them all even in this day and age despite these Feasts finding " their  fullest redemptive reality in the messianic work of Jesus Christ . " It  would  appear that Tim does not  believe that these Feasts or the law point to Christ and that they find their fulfillment in Him.  Now, I do not want to get into a theological discussion because that is not the subject of this blog. However The God Culture teaches that the Philippines is the Garden of Eden, is the location of the Holy of Holies on earth, and that the Philippines is where these Feasts will be reinstated in full in the last days. So discussing this topic is quite in line with the subject of this blog which is the Philippines. https://youtu.be/IfDwuaXYnTc Starting at 22:08 in the...
