The God Culture: 100 Lies About the Philippines: Lie #34: "Philippines" is a Hebrew Name

Welcome back to 100 lies The God Culture teaches about the Philippines. Today's lie concerns the etymology of the word Philippines. Timothy Jay Schwab claims the word is actually two Hebrew words. 



He makes this claim in the following video. 


Miraculous Mindoro & Batangas: Part 12H: Solomon's Gold Series: Ophir, Sheba, Tarshish

29:38 The local name of the Philippines is Pilipinas.  Pili means miraculous in Hebrew and Pina is the very Hebrew word used in Scripture to refer to Messiah's coming even as he is our chief pina, cornerstone. The miraculous cornerstone of creation. The miraculous cornerstone of life who will rise again in these last days in prophecy. Wow! This is amazing! 

Tim also makes the same claim in his book The Search for King Solomon's Treasure. 

However, as we progress into profundity, Mindoro befits concisely the national local name for the Philippines in tracing “Pilipinas” or “Pilipina.” However, that word ties to this entire narrative in the most bizarre way when one assesses the Hebrew.

Pilipinas: Pilipina

Local Name for The Philippines
Hebrew: pili: פלאי: Wonderful, incomprehensible, secret, miraculous. Hebrew: pinnah: פנה: Cornerstone. [240-241]
Our Interpretation: Miraculous Cornerstone

The Land of Creation is the miraculous cornerstone of all life on Earth. This word pinnah is the same word used in describing “He is our Chief Pinnah or Cornerstone” in Psalm 118:22. Pili means wonderful such as in “He shall be called pili, counselor, the mighty God...” from Isaiah 9:6-7. The Spanish named the Philippines after it’s King and it appears very wise Filipinos tricked them into allowing them to use a local name which originates in the Hebrew language. Many of our viewers have also pointed out that in Tagalog this bares a very similar meaning “Chosen Land” also very similar to the Hebrew definition and this is a pattern we observe often in the Philippines.

The Search for King Solomon's Treasure, pgs 186-187

At least Tim acknowledges the Spanish named the Philippines after King Philip II. It was Ruy Lopez de Villalobos who gave the Philippines its name. He tells us this in a relation of his journey in these islands.

RELATION OF THE JOURNEY MADE FROM NEW SPAIN AND THE WESTERN ISLANDS BY RUY GOMEZ DE VILLALOBOS, BY ORDER OF VIRET D. ANTONIO DE MENDOZA

pg. 117

He writes:

And the people gathered the galley and in Sarragan a ship sailed, and the others were in a condition to get closer; and when we arrived, a remedy was taken, and it was agreed to send a ship to New Spain. And because all the ships arrived so poorly equipped when they arrived, the smallest was sent, because we had nothing to do with the others. And because there were few provisions with which to go, it was agreed that the galley should go to some islands where it had sailed, which we call Felipinas, from the name of our blessed Prince, which they said were very well preserved, and there they should buy provisions: and so it was done. On August 1, 1543, the ship left Sarragan to go to New Spain and the galley to bring some provisions.

So, where does Tim get the idea

"wise Filipinos tricked them into allowing them to use a local name which originates in the Hebrew language?"

Are we really to believe that some "wise natives" discussed the naming of these islands with the Spanish explorers? It's total nonsense. Nobody tricked the Spanish into naming these islands after "our blessed Prince." Philippines is not two Hebrew words Pili and Pinnah meaning miraculous cornerstone. It's named after King Philip II and Philip means horse lover.

The notion that "wise Filipinos tricked" the Spanish into naming these islands the Philippines is totally absurd. It is simply one more lie about the Philippines taught by Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Culture.

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
