The God Culture: Apologist is the Dumbest Term Ever Used

Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Culture employs Greek and Hebrew etymologies for many of his arguments. But as Tim admits, he is no linguist. This fact is shown in a hilarious manner when he says "apologist" is the dumbest term ever used.

Exploring Eden's Waters: Unraveling the Mystery of the Rivers with Zen Garcia & Tim Schwab

1:01:14 Lisa George: Hey Tim real quick, uh, there's a question in chat. I'm not sure if you're taking these in chat but this kind of goes along with the same topic that we're talking about with the flood and it's a little bit off, um, slightly off topic. I'm curious to see your information on this too. Uh, Sue says, "What do you think about the ark encounter? Is it a fair assessment?" Now, we were just there a couple years ago. I have my own opinion about that. I don't know if you've actually been there.

Timothy Jay Schwab: I haven't because honestly I never had enough interest and I love the whole flood narrative. Uh, but the stuff that I see coming out of those guys, uh, because they, they, they're, they're stuck in, you know, this creation science, uh, genre which is, unfortunately, just as bad as modern science. Maybe worse because a lot of times what they're doing is they're placating modern scientism a religion an occult religion and they're infusing that into the Bible they're trying to make it fit they're trying to make it work. You don't have to do that. You don't have to apologize for the Bible. I don't know why we have that term apologist I think that's the dumbest term ever used. You don't have to apologize for the Bible. You have to apologize for modern science when it disagrees with the most credible source in all of history. Because the Bible's roots don't just go back to man and this is the fallacy that we hear from many, oh man wrote the Bible you can't trust it. Wait a minute didn't man write that science journal? So you can't trust that either, right? Hello?

See what Tim is doing here? He is saying apologetics means saying, "I'm sorry." But that is not the case. The English word apology and the Greek word apologia, from which the word apologetics is derived, do not mean the same thing.

The term apologetics derives from the Ancient Greek word apologia (ἀπολογία). In the Classical Greek legal system, the prosecution delivered the kategoria (κατηγορία), the accusation or charge, and the defendant replied with an apologia, the defence. The apologia was a formal speech or explanation to reply to and rebut the charges. A famous example is Socrates' Apologia defense, as chronicled in Plato's Apology.

In the Koine Greek of the New Testament, the Apostle Paul employs the term apologia in his trial speech to Festus and Agrippa when he says "I make my defense" in Acts 26:2. A cognate form appears in Paul's Letter to the Philippians as he is "defending the gospel" in Philippians 1:7, and in "giving an answer" in 1 Peter 3:15.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apologetics

Apologia means a verbal defense and is in the New Testament 8 times.

https://www.blueletterbible.org/lexicon/g627/kjv/tr/0-1/

Acts 22:1 Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I make now unto you.

Philippians 1:7 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.

Those are just two of the eight times "apologia" is used in the Bible. And what do you call one who makes an "apologia?" An apologist!

It's these little things that reveal the utter ignorance of Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Culture.

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...
