The God Culture: More Awful "Research"

At this point I have written almost 100 articles analyzing the so-called research of Timothy Jay Schwab of The God Culture. From all I have seen there is no way The God Culture can be a team. If they are they are certainly awful and have no idea how to do actual research. Here is another glaring instance of this incredibly poor "research" from Timothy Jay Schwab and his alleged team.

The Search for King Solomon's Treasure Sourcebook, pg. 148

Nowell's source is out of print but the University of Illinois and University of Michigan allow Limited Search of v. 31 through Hathi Trust Digital Library of the text only of this publishing which affirms on P. 438 the words Nowell is quoting. Here are examples: (https://catalog.hathitrustorg/Record/000681729) 


Now, what is going on here you may ask? Tim is citing Charles Nowell who writes:

Magellan digested Barbosa's work and with his own hand rewrote one passage, which consisted of a list of places between the Cape of Good Hope and the Lequios that were known but not yet occupied by the Portuguese. Magellan's version substitutes for Barbosa's "Lequios" the words "Tarsis" and "Ofir." 
Tim wants to check up on Nowell's source for this claim that Magellan changed Barbosa's book and substituted Tarsis and Ofir for Leqouis. That source is:
29. Denuce, "Les Iles Lequois (Formose et Riu•Kiu) et Ophir," Bulletin de la Societd Royale Beige de Giographie, XXXI, 1907, 438. 
Tim correctly notes that the source is out of print but instead of exhausting all means to find it he relies on Hathi Trust which allows a limited word search of this document.


What is this supposed to prove anyway? That the words Tarsis, Ofir, Magellan, and Barbosa appear in this article? So what? What about the substance of the article? 

With a few clicks of the mouse I found this article in under five minutes.

https://books.google.com.ph/books?id=gS4yAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA435&source=gbs_selected_pages&cad=2#v=onepage&q&f=false

Roughly, that translates as:
The author of the archive inventory assigns the document the date of 1520-1530, without examining whether there could be any direct relationship between the different pieces contained in the bundle, among others with the Magellan manuscript. Now, the anonymous memoir is nothing more than a fragment of the book of Od. Barbosa, relating to the Far East. The arrangement which the author has adopted in his description differs slightly from that admitted to us given above according to the edition of the Book published by the Academy of Sciences of Lisbon

Sumatra, Cumda, Java major, Java minor, Timor, Vendant, Meluq, China, Tarais, Ofir.
That paragraph cannot be fully understood without reading the previous two pages. I did that but I am not going to print that here. I am not going to do Tim's research for him. In this day and age of artificial intelligence it is incredibly easy to use OCR to translate a book into English. 

Now, there is a lot more in this article about the Lequios islands and thier location.


But as I said I am not about to do Tim's research for him. What is important to point out here is that Tim constantly claims he is part of a research team and has done more real research than actual scholars. Yet we see right here he could not even do the proper research to pull up this article. He is not unaware of the Archive or Google Books yet here we see he was unable to find the actual article to make his case. It's not as if the article does prove his case but still the fact remains Tim's research skills are poor.

There is no way The God Culture is a team. The amount of mistakes which are made on a regular basis prove this out. This article is just more evidence that The God Culture is Timothy Jay Schwab alone.

The God Culture: A Biography of Timothy Jay Schwab

Image
Timothy Jay Schwab is the founder and leader of The God Culture, "a group of independent researchers" dedicated to, among other things, restoring Biblical geography. But who is Timothy Jay Schwab? Where did he come from? What are his credentials? And what about the rest of the team of researchers? Who are they?   In this post I am going to write a brief biography of Timothy Jay Schwab according to all the available sources online. The purpose is to get a sense of who he is, where he has come from, and more importantly how his past religious affiliations have shaped him into the man he is today.  https://talbotspy.org/the-shore-life-magazine-marks-first-anniversary-with-expansion-plans/ Timothy Jay Schwab was born on March 13th, 1970 in Cambridge, Maryland.

The God Culture: "Christian" Is A Pagan Term

Image
Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Culture is no Christian. Understanding his doctrines makes it more than abundantly clear that Tim does not follow Christ by rejecting His free grace in favor of keeping the law. However, Tim would say he is no Christian because it is a pagan term. Why can scholars not conduct an ounce of research to see they are propagating the Babylonian and Egyptian mystery religion calling it Christianity, a term not really used in the bible except by pagans or for the benefit of pagans in understanding because that was their brand? A very negative light of the followers of Yahusha. The first ecclesia never called themselves Christians or the term would be in the New Testament a thousand times not just four. Talk about ridiculous.   Egyptian Book of the Dead. Origin of Church Doctrine on Judgment? Part 8 Answers In 2nd Esdras 23H First of all the word "Christian" is in the Bible three times not four.  Second of all there is nothing to indicate that the ter...

The God Culture: There Is No Bodily Resurrection

Image
What happens during the resurrection? According to Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Culture only our spirits are resurrected. Our body is gone and turned to dust because we don't need it. We will get new bodies. 50:20 Now, it's time for the Feast of Tabernacles, okay? Also known as booths or tents which really are just interpretation of the same word, uh, Tabernacles but in Hebrew it's the word Sukkot. Again, tent. Foreshadowing of the day in which believers receive our new glorified bodies instead of our temporary temple. See, the body we're in right now is temporary. That's why it returns to dust and it never gets what, what's resurrected on the day of judgment for the dead is your spirit not your body. Body's gone. Don't need it because you'll get a new one on this day. Here It Is!!! 2023 Reconcile for the 7 Biblical Feasts. Feast Series What verse does Tim cite to prove that our bodies are not resurrected? He cites none. But here are several v...
