The God Culture: Flat Earthers and Pharisees From Clown World

This post will be quite direct and to the point. There will be no analysis of The God Culture's videos. It's not needed. Instead we have direct testimony from Timothy Jay Schwab himself in the comment section of one of his videos.


https://youtu.be/rup6RmXVi8g

A little background first. Tim and company believe that the Rivers of Eden are deep sea trenches that encircle the earth. But wait! They don't encircle the earth according to Tim because he does not believe the earth is a globe! From the comments of the above video we read the following exchange:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rup6RmXVi8g&lc=UgysxZIhmPY_8ro1dCN4AaABAg
Kurt Stephen: Hi TGC! In your own understanding, does  the earth flat or sphere? 
The God Culture: The Bible lays out a flat earth and science tells us it's a sphere. We'll let those debate that but in reading the Bible, we are going to do so in the right paradigm and the writers did not discuss the cosmology of a sphere. Yah Bless. 
The earth is flat according to Timothy Jay Schwab. The Bible tells him so.



Actually it does not tell him so because the Bible is not a science text book. However experimentation, daily experience, and actual satellite photographs of the planet tell a wholly different story which is that the world is just as round as Timothy Jay Schwab's middle aged pot belly. 


But wait, there's more!

From "Rivers & Garden Of Eden FOUND! The Best Theory. Fits the Bible. Flood Series 6A. Ophir:"


https://youtu.be/QtRX157VgGA
1:02:36 - See this is more than a theory at this point as we are well on our way to proving this if only we could bring together a team of scientists to fully vet this. But too many are stuck in false paradigms unfortunately even those in the Christian arena which are set all over the academic world unfortunately. Many have said they would like to see this system on a flat earth map as well so here you go. We do not breach that topic as of yet because it is too polarizing but we have no issue with people researching the topic and actually we encourage everyone to prove all things.
The comment section of this video is full of positive flat earth comments to which The God Culture responds "Yah bless" or worse!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtRX157VgGA&amp=&lc=UgwqQW2BH_dMolVYuc54AaABAg
Nisi Ryan Cruz: Is there any mention in the bible that we are revolving around the sun? 

The God Culture: None. Only the sun having a course and standing still during the days of Joshua indicating movement. Yah Bless. 
Not only is the earth flat but it is motionless! Tim has devolved back to geocentricity so much so that he does not even believe that the Sun is 90 million miles from the Earth. He quotes from Enoch 8:3:
66:25 "Shamsiel the signs of the sun." Probably the false facts that it is 90 million light years away perhaps? Which is never, ever been proven. Uh, sunspots? 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-nAf2cIvVU
I agree that the sun is NOT 90 million LIGHT YEARS AWAY from Earth. If it was we would all be dead because it would be outside of the Milky Way which is only 170,000 - 200,000 light years in diameter! Clearly he means 90 million miles but it's a funny slip up and even with the correction he is still dead wrong. It is not false science that the sun is 90 million miles away and it has been proven. Just as the Greeks knew the earth was round they also knew the sun was farther from the earth than the moon and had the distance down pretty close. What do sunspots have to do with anything?

In another comment Tim is asked to make a video about the earth being not a globe and he says that he may do so in time.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtRX157VgGA&amp=&lc=UgwK3un-aHw8NSfM8dx4AaABAg
Johnny 2Shadows: You guys should definitely do a video "proving" how Yahuahs word does NOT speak of a globe earth! 
The God Culture: We may in time but we aren't ready for that one yet. Already sparking enough controversy as it is. Yah Bless. 
When confronted with this information The God Culture denies it all!
We have no videos on flat earth and our group has never reached such consensus. Only a liar would say otherwise and there ya go, he just did.
http://philippinefails.blogspot.com/2020/05/the-god-culture-just-another-anti.html?showComment=1590162073066#c4950760814771191480
No videos on the subject? Ok sure.  But no consensus on the matter?  Then why these comments affirming the earth is flat?  Is Tim going against the mind of "the group" by posting these comments? Only a blind man could fail to see that Timothy Jay Schwab of the The God Culture affirms the earth is flat and that he bases that belief on scripture.

Tim and his gang love to repeat the same talking points. One of them is the following quote from Einstein.  


"Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance."
The problem is Einstein never said this. It is actually a quote from William Paley which has been mangled and misattributed during a centuries long telephone game.  You can read the whole history of the phrase in a paper titled, "The Survival of a Fitting Quotation."

Is the principle itself true? Maybe. Sometimes certainly not. Do I really need to smoke shabu before I can condemn it? One does not need to taste or even see the fruit of a tree to know what kind of tree one is looking at. The bark, branches, and leaves tell the whole story. Same with The God Culture.  One does not need to watch every single one of their videos to know what they are made of. The same rule also applies to the flat earth nonsense.

In the matter of the flat earth what does it even mean to research it and prove all things as Timothy encourages? Does he expect people to become scientists and do actual research and observations in a systematic scientific way? It's the same with the rest of his series and theories. They are patently untestable and unreliable without a lot of field work. Not even Timothy tests them out as he does not go into the field and do actual archeological or geological work. He is an armchair expert who relies on the research of others often twisting it to fit his paradigm. He literally thinks that because he has read a few books and articles that he has found what no one else in the world has ever found, namely Ophir, The Garden of Eden, the Lost Tribes, etc. It's all nonsense from a nonexpert who has been nowhere and tested nothing!

If you want to learn some real Bible archeology this book is a good start:


Do I really need to watch hours of videos or read books before I reject the flat earth stupidity? No. I have been all over the world including to Antarctica. 


In December the sun does not set in Antarctica. The night sky is also different in the southern hemisphere than from the northern hemisphere. There is the Southern Cross and the two Magellanic Clouds which are not visible in the northern night sky. Polaris is not visible in the south at all while Orion is pushed to the northern horizon and is not fully visible the further south one goes. From the Philippines one can see Polaris, Orion, and the Southern Cross because we are in the middle of the earth. All of that is because the earth is round. It is as round as Timothy Jay Schwab's head!


What does believing in a flat earth mean for Timothy Jay Schwab of the God Culture? It means all his videos about the Rivers of Eden are lies based on quackery. For sure he is no geologist or geographer.  Yet he has the gall to call his patently unscientific research scientific! Tim goes even further and claims he can interpret scientific research accurately while the scientists who actually did the research cannot!
Jubilees even leaves exact directions to the Garden and having mapped them we can tell you with 100% certainty that it is the Philippines. Which is confirmed by history, geography, science, language, and everything. The location of the rivers from Eden which we find even scientifically and it fits the passage as none of the older other theories out there actually do and even better the location of the Garden of Eden and the land of creation is completely confirmed by science even modern marine biologists themselves.  If they only knew what the ramifications are of their most recent findings. Which they do not because they do not believe the Bible. 
https://youtu.be/hP5zxlXysIk?t=5419
How much more arrogant can Tim be than to say scientists don't understand their own research but he, a man totally untrained in science and believes the Earth is flat, does!?

The God Culture are idiots who believe the earth is flat and that faith in Christ is not the foundation of our salvation. They don't even believe the proper name for one who confesses faith in Christ is Christian or that the Apostles were or wanted to be called Christians!
And they infused that worship once again into the movement called Christianity by pagans which as pagans they took that title.  So the actual followers of Yahusha do not refer to themselves as Christians. The word is only in the Bible four times and it is really the onlookers calling them the "Christians" in a negative way which is not a name Paul wanted to adopt or any of the followers of Yahusha nor did they because if they did you would see it in the New Testament a thousand times not four. 
https://youtu.be/JAdyZdkv9ag?t=2815
It actually appears three times and while the reference in Acts 11:26 could be interpreted as being attributed to onlookers and as negative the other two cannot.
Acts 26:28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian. 
29 And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.
Felix says he was almost persuaded to be a Christian and Paul says he wishes he was altogether such as him, a Christian! He accepts the term and adopts it to himself. Substitute "Christian" with the word "jerk" and see if it works.

The third reference is in a letter by Peter and the term is also not used in a negative way at all.
1 Peter 4:16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
Let him not be ashamed? As Tim would say, yikes, yeesh, ugh, uh-oh! Imagine being so edgy as to call the name "Christian" pagan. Again substitute the word "jerk" for Christian. It doesn't fit! Christian is used in a positive sense in the scriptures every single time. Tim declines to tell us the proper name for a person who believes in Jesus Christ. I have a hunch it is Yahudim.

Tim can't even get it straight as to whether or not he is a minister.  From Sabbath Series Commentary:
0:50 "We don't even refer to ourselves as ministers but researchers."
https://youtu.be/AN4ArvfMR4w 
But in the comment section of my blog he writes:
"We have always been a ministry but again, you don't know the meaning as you don't with anything, you assume whatever you want in fraud because you are a fraud."
http://philippinefails.blogspot.com/2020/05/the-god-culture-just-another-anti.html?showComment=1590120773933#c9017847126956008240
So, The God Culture is a ministry but no one who works there is a minister?  Who ever heard of a ministry with no ministers!?? While Tim did edit his webpage to erase any mention of him reentering the evangelistic ministry in the Philippines he did not edit out that his intention in starting a Youtube channel was to gather a following.
They chose the platform of YouTube to share their research initially in order to gather a following and after 3 years and over 9 million views from 214 countries on a teaching channel, The God Culture now brings this research directly to the public in conducting conferences beginning in the Philippines as much of the geography restored leads to that land.
https://www.thegodculture.com
This is in stark contrast to what he says elsewhere:
What a journey of truth this has been for us. Over 3 million views later we never thought a teaching series would gain so much interest but it continues to daily.  We love you Philippines by the way. We're not done with this though.
https://youtu.be/hP5zxlXysIk?t=2967
If Tim never thought the series would gain so much interest then why did he release so many high quality videos in quick succession when he first started back in 2017? The God Culture is NOT a fly-by-night operation. Tim registered the website back in 2013. He had obviously been working on this project for a long time before the first video appeared. The whole purpose was to gain a following just as his web page says. Why would he play coy? Why would you lie about something dumb like that?

Tim cannot even get his doctrine of salvation straight.  One moment he says we are not redeemed by the law.

https://youtu.be/8UpT5TILJvg?t=1134
18:54 Did the law of Moses save? Never! No one at anytime, no! Who preaches that the law is salvation? Think about this.  The Pharisees do.  That's not a Bible principle that's the Pharisees. Paul is condemning the Pharisees not the Old Testament or the Prophets whom he teaches from and reaffirms. Is one saved because they keep the sabbath?  Well we have been accused of saying that but we never have but no, sabbath and the law are not salvation.
The next moment he says we are!

https://youtu.be/08ZD_IwDkuU?t=2395
39:55 Now how are we freed from the law of sin and death? Uh-oh! It is the law of the Spirit of life, the law of Moses which frees us. The law written by the very finger of Yahuah Himself.  The law is what redeems us.
50:53 But ye are not in the flesh, under sin and death, so we're not to operate in the flesh but in the Spirit. That's the law of life, the law of Moses, operates in the Spirit. If so be that the Spirit of God, Yahuah, dwell in you. So how does Paul equate this? As we have seen several times thus far?  By keeping the law of life, I mean the law of Moses. That is what overcomes the law of sin and death. That is what it means to be in the Spirit.
Tim says only Pharisees teach salvation comes by the law. Tim also says the law redeems us and that to walk in the Spirit is to keep the law of Moses.  Therefore Tim is a Pharisee by his own admission! In fact it is the restoration of the Mosaic law by Filipinos in the Philippines during the end times that is the whole point of Timothy's teaching!

But what is the Mosaic law?  To hear Tim talk you'd think it's just the Big Ten. There are more than that.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08ZD_IwDkuU&amp=&lc=UgxuMEoC35uP2BzgzDV4AaABAg
rose ann lazinec: Is the Law of God just the 10 commandments? or does it include the 613 commandments? 
The God Culture: The law is the Torah. All the writings of Moses. You will find the 10 commandments are it's core however. Breaking the minor laws usually break one of the 10. Yah Bless. 
According to Tim the law of Moses is the entire Torah. All 613 laws of which 10 form a core. I'm not sure what he means by minor laws. The Torah is a whole and there are no minor laws. To break one is to break all. And they are ALL perpetual. Not just the Big Ten. Take the law of the Levitical priesthood for instance.  It is as eternal and binding as the sabbath which Tim ceaselessly harps on.
Exodus 40:15 And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office: for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.
And how about this law?
Leviticus 15:18 The woman also with whom man shall lie with seed of copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the even.
This is part of the eternal law of God which, according to Tim, Adam, Noah, and all the patriarchs kept.  It is a statute forever throughout their generations. Why does Tim not talk about it? Why doesn't he make snide comments about never hearing this law explained from the pulpit? Why do no Judaizing legalists ever talk about this law? After a man shtups his wife they are both unclean and need to bathe in water. Does Tim practice this law? Does he take a bath after he shtups his shiksa? He better or else he is a lawbreaker. Of course he is already a lawbreaker because his "marriage" is a violation of the law of Christ who forbids such relationships calling them adultery.

This is all very important becasue Tim says all of his teaching about the Philippines leads to the restoration of the Mosaic law by Filipinos in the end times. From "The Law of Sin and Death. What is it? NOT The Law of Moses! WHAT DID PAUL SAY?":
52:28 Now some have questioned how did we arrive here and I told you in the beginning in the last video in the introduction that we started in this whole path by just trying to find Ophir in the Bible. That's it.  We were testing is the Philippines Ophir and we got all the way here.  How does that happen? It happens because this is no mistake. This is exactly where that message leads.  See it's time for this people of Ophir especially to learn the law and restore it just as their prophecies say they will. This is not some disjointed ADD approach it's very systematic and we're leading here because this is where the prophecies lead. We are teaching how to fulfill the very prophecies of Ophir.  This is no minor task and as you can see we certainly do not take our role lightly. This is happening folks and the Philippines will rise. Many around the world will follow and they are already starting to join. We're almost there.
Tim's vision for the Philippines is a land where the Mosaic law in all of its fullness has been restored.  That necessarily includes a Levitical priesthood and sacrifices! Is there not enough bloodshed in these islands that Filipinos will have to revert from faith in the once for all sacrifice of Jesus Christ to offering up animals to Yahuah in the Holy of Holies which Tim claims is in the Garden of Eden and locates in the Philippines? Locates underwater in fact!
44:14 It's funny how we keep seeing that stones of fire and yet we've proven that the Garden of Eden is actually right there in the Philippines under the sea enclosed.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-nAf2cIvVU
So, according to Tim Enoch has lived for 4,000 years in a Garden under the sea? Now he's ripping off The Beatles! Somebody send a yellow submarine down there and get it on video! It's either there or it isn't. Time to put up or shut up Tim.

This is total madness and it's time for Timothy Jay Schwab of The God Culture to stop pretending he is a Christian. And let's not quibble about words here. The correct term for one who believes in Jesus Christ is Christian and not Yahudim. No Christian would say the law of Moses redeems us. No Christian would say that Jesus Christ has not fulfilled the law. No Christian would reject faith in Christ as the basis of our salvation as Tim does in Sabbath Series 5:
19:35 We aren't to just have faith in Yahusha. That’s not enough. That’s not it.  No, no, no, no. We are to keep His commandments.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-nAf2cIvVU
No Christian would say that to walk or operate in the Spirit is to keep the law of Moses as Tim does  several times in "The Law of Sin and Death. What is it? NOT The Law of Moses! WHAT DID PAUL SAY?".
16:55 Operating in the Spirit is operating in the law of Moses.
As I previously wrote this false soteriology is all a result of Tim's denial of the Trinity and especially the work of the Holy Spirit who seals us, works in us to produce fruits, and fills us with Himself. The promises of the Gospel are far more wonderful than a mere forensic justification and forgiveness of sin as most Protestants teach and the total opposite of the doctrine Tim is preaching. We become partakers of the divine nature receiving the same glory Christ had from all eternity and the Spirit of God dwells in us making us the temples of God. As He became like us so we become like Him. There is no room for any of that in Timothy's paradigm which is all about a Pharisaical keeping of the law. He cannot fathom the fact that there is a righteousness which exists totally apart from the law of Moses and it is to be found in Christ alone.
Romans 3:21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
The law of Moses bears witness to a righteousness of God apart from the law of Moses and it comes by faith in Jesus Christ. That is basic Christian doctrine which Tim rejects and which his stupid new video on Romans 7 and 8 completely ignores as he hypocritically discusses Paul in two big out of context fragments overlooking the rest of the letter and his entire oeuvre! It is time for Tim to stop pretending that he has anything to do with Jesus Christ. He is a heretic outside of the Body of Christ and he has no inheritance with the saints in light. He thinks evil has a substance.
19:43 Principalities are Nephilim demon spirits. When a Nephilim dies their spirit becomes disembodied and it is pure evil because that is what they are. Every imagination of their heart is evil continually as it says in Genesis very clearly. 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-nAf2cIvVU
There is no such thing as "pure evil."  Evil does not exist as a substance but is a privation of good. There are many kinds of evils. Evil like sin is an action, breaking the law. Evil like disease is the absence of health. Tim's doctrine of a creature being "pure evil" is Manichaeism and Zoroastrianism and in complete contrast to the scriptures. Nothing exists except God created it. Did God create this spirit which is "pure evil?" Instead of applying Genesis 6:5 to fallen, sinful men, like Jeremiah 17:9, he applies it to alleged angel/human half-breeds. This is the result of his silly Nephilim doctrine which comes from the unscriptural Book of Enoch.

Tim also thinks God is one member of a class of heavenly beings!
69:19  Notice how these all (names of the watchers) have El on the end of their names? That's because they are heavenly beings. El, Eloah, or Elohim is not a name of Yahuah. It's a title, a classification of a heavenly being to which Yahuah belongs but so do the angels so it is appropriate for both.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-nAf2cIvVU
For Tim Yahuah is just one heavenly being among many such as the angels! What a blasphemous thing to say. To equate the creator with his creation. God and the angels he created do not belong to the same class of anything. God is not a being. God is beyond being. He is the author of all being.  He is not just one heavenly being among many and to say so shows that Tim is not a theologian and understands nothing about God. This teaching of his sheds more light on his doctrine, or lack thereof, of the Trinity. Tim's thoughts of God are poor, shallow, and heretical. Tim is a deceiver of the highest order and it is sad to see so many Filipinos following him on the broad road to hell.

Where do these people come from? The more I watch and the more I listen to their videos the more I realize these people, The God Culture and Timothy Jay Schwab, are from clown world! 

Heil Honkler!

The God Culture: How to Keep the Feast of Tabernacles Without Actually Keeping the Feast of Tabernacles Part 2

Timothy Jay Schwab of The God Culture has finally revealed to his audience how he celebrates the Feast of Tabernacles. Let us compare his celebration with that of the Bible and see if Tim follows the rules God has laid down. 

https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=510981471038042&id=100063785813165

Happy Feast of Tabernacles, Sukkot, the most exciting week of the year. Much better than Christmas. This is just the First Day... In the Philippines... We hope all are enjoying this Feast here in this time zone and those in the rest as the sun comes their way. 


The goats arrived last night with the guys who prepped and cooked them and wow!!! And, what a process to watch. This was not a sacrifice but we felt serving goat a nice touch. You do not have to. 

Already we have our first problem. Tim is serving goat merely as a nice touch and not as a sacrifice. What does the Bible say to do? 

Leviticus 23:34 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the LORD.


35 On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.

36 Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein.

The Bible says a sacrifice must be made every day for the duration of the feast. Yet Tim is boasting that he did not offer a sacrifice but had goats served as “a nice touch.” What a blasphemous joke. 


Not only does the Bible require sacrifice but God says all males have to appear before Him in the place that he has chosen which is where the tabernacle and the Ark of the Covenant dwelt. 

Deuteronomy 16:13 Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine:


14 And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates.

15 Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.

16 Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the LORD empty:

Let’s compare Tim with the Jews who returned to Jerusalem. They rebuilt the temple, erected the altar, and then:

Ezra 3:4 They kept also the feast of tabernacles, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings by number, according to the custom, as the duty of every day required;

Next Tim goes on to describe his “tent.”

We began with a broadcast in Tagalog from Sabbath Believers Congregation in Tuba, Benguet by former AFP B. Gen., Preacher Bien Casis which are attendees enjoyed in their language. The children then decorated our large main tent. We had a TV screen there and played Veggietales for the kids while everything was being prepared for lunch. Poor Larry couldn't find his hairbrush... For us, we try to focus on events for those who are first-timers to the Feast so we can teach it hands on. Everyone is enjoying themselves on this day and many realize what a blessing this is and should always be for all of us every year.

Where is the tent in these pictures? 



Does Timothy Jay Schwab really mean to say that throwing a tarp over an open space constitutes a tent? What does the Bible say?

Leviticus 23:42 Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths:

Is Tim and company going to be dwelling in that “tent” for seven days? Seems doubtful. It’s not even a tent. What tent can hold a TV so the kids can watch Veggietales? And Veggietales? Really?  This is not 1997. Those children might as well be watching the 1980s classic Superbook which actually teaches Bible stories and not vague moral lessons from hairless vegetables like Larry the Cucumber and Bob the Tomato. 


Incidentally the creator of Veggietales has admitted his show did not teach Christianity. 

After the bankruptcy I had kind of a forced sabbatical of three or four months of spending time with God and listening to Him. I looked back at the previous 10 years and realized I had spent 10 years trying to convince kids to behave Christianly without actually teaching them Christianity. And that was a pretty serious conviction. You can say, "Hey kids, be more forgiving because the Bible says so," or "Hey kids, be more kind because the Bible says so!" But that isn't Christianity, it's morality

https://web.archive.org/web/20131119225958/http://www.worldmag.com/2011/09/it_s_not_about_the_dream/page2

It’s amazing that Tim rejects mainstream Protestant evnagalicalism, calls the Church the Synagogue of Satan, and yet continues to use their products. It makes no sense. That is why he is a hypocrite. 

After lunch we had a Bible trivia contest for the kids which became a teaching opportunity and then, scripture. Of course, here in the Philippines, when we Feast, it's an all day event so we'll just keep on repeating and enjoying our time with the Bible's largest event of the year. For your event, just do your best but most of all keep the Feast and enjoy this time in Him. We love you all. Yah Bless to everyone.

This last paragraph echoes the advice Tim’s wife gave to a Facebook commenter.


https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=509762311159958&id=100063785813165

Daniel Munoz: So much I want it. Just don't know what to do it. I'm still trying to figure it out. Please help me Yahuah


Anna Rose Z: He will. Just take steps each year to near closer to Him. We are all learning and the only mistake is to not keep the feast really. In Israel, an entire Temple Priest system managed this. You do your best and Yahuah will bless it. Yah Bless.

This is wrong. God does not say do your best. God gives very explicit instructions on how to keep His feasts. To not keep them in the manner the Bible commands is to make a mockery of the feasts. Thankfully as Christians we do not need to keep the feasts because Jesus Christ who tabernacled in human nature and dwelt among us fulfilled all the feasts.

The God Culture: The Course of the Moon

Having discussed the course and purpose of the sun Timothy Jay Schwab of The God Culture next goes on to wax eloquent about the course and purpose of the moon. There are four videos on this subject in his Answers in Enoch series. As ever the videos are packed with information but in this article I will be trimming away the fat and leaving the meat. 

The Error of the Moon for Days, Weeks, Months and Years. Part 1. Answers In First Enoch Part 43

This first video is an hour and twenty minutes long but it should have been much shorter. The gist of it is that Tim proves from Enoch the moon is not the measure for days, weeks, months, and years. That honor belongs to the sun alone. All the while he is doing this he in engaged in a pissing contest with a Youtube channel he refuses to name. Apparently this channel made a critical response to Tim's videos about the sun which rubbed him the wrong way. Tim was so offended he will no longer be recommending that channel to his viewers. 

36:33 Now, again, we're not going to chart the moon's course as we did the sun. Uh, believe me your head would spin and it's just not necessary to go there for now and doesn't make for a good YouTube video. If someone wants to do that do it great wonderful. If the other channel wants to do that well, why don't you start by charting the sun because you haven't done that. You covered Jubilees and Enoch and you didn't chart the Sun and you didn't chart the moon yet you criticized this channel, uh, essentially, for not charting the moon because we're not foolish. Um, you know we're just not going to do that to people and yet then we can't possibly understand the moon's course because we didn't chart it like we did the sun. Well, you didn't chart either so why don't you go charting and stop throwing stones from your glass house. How about that? You know this is what we get so many times in criticism, uh, and it's a shame that that channel led there because we've supported them for many years we've even sent many people to to their Channel. We won't anymore

This video is interwoven all throughout with such petty snark. It's pretty funny. In fact at several points Tim talks like a caveman because apparently the unnamed channel claimed he said the moon was evil.

1:55 Here it is in plain English because we had another Channel who said some things that we want to clear up right now. Moon good. Moon okay. Moon holy, faithful, witness we love Moon. We even love the people who use the moon as the measure in error but the error we don't love neither does Yahusha by the way. Error bad. Moon good. Moon not bad. Error is bad. The error of men is really bad. That is what we address regarding this and we've never called the moon itself error nor does this title actually.

56:09 We love moon. Moon good. 
It's absolutely hilarious that Tim has taken criticism to heart so much so that he has been reduced to talking like a caveman. 

But why won't Tim chart the movement of the moon as he did the sun? Because it's foolish and would make your head spin and would not make for a good Youtube video? Those are not valid reasons and don't explain his refusal to chart the moon's course. Does he know there is a Youtube Channel where a guy drinks a glass of water a day and it has been ongoing since 2011? There is a series of two-to-four-hour-long video critiques of the awful new Disney Star Wars trilogy which has millions of views. And Tim thinks charting the course of the moon would not make for a compelling YouTube video? Tim's audience is so thirsty for content that they literally beg him to make more! In the meantime here is a video of the  lunar analemma.

Slide after slide shows verses from Enoch and Jubilees saying that the Sun alone is the measure of days, weeks, and years. Here is one of many:

56:12 We read in jubilees 2:9 "And Elohim appointed the sun to be a great sign on the earth" for what? A very specific purpose in which one can never attribute to the moon, period. "For days, for sabbaths, and for months, and for feasts and for years, and for sabbaths of years, and for jubilees, and for all seasons of the years. And Genesis agrees with this

Tim claims that this verse in Jubilees agrees with Genesis!  But that is not the case and at no point in this video does Tim actually cite Genesis which reads as follows:

14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

One would think Timothy Jay Schwab would cite Genesis at least once in his series about the sun and the moon but he does not. Not one single time. Instead he relies on Enoch and Jubilees which both contradict Genesis when it comes to the purpose of the moon which is, along with the sun and stars, for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years. 

The main subject of the second video in this series about the moon is eclipses and how Enoch accounts for them. It is abundantly clear that Tim has no idea what he is talking about as he confuses lunar eclipses with solar eclipses and even says sometimes the sun moves in front of the moon.

The Error of the Moon for Days, Weeks, Months and Years. Part 2. Answers In First Enoch Part 44 

31:13 This movement of the moon is very hard to chart, uh, and we're not going to do it but it's not necessary in order to understand. Once again the opportunity for eclipses arises as the moon turns back and recedes behind the sun. This would cause an eclipse uh in a certain area of the world at certain times, uh, of, you know, certain moments. Uh, both lunar and solar eclipses are explained by this dynamic as the moon could be in front asome times and the sun could be in front at some times, uh, from a certain perspective. Remember they are the same size according to Enoch we'll show you those scriptures in a second, well in a few minutes. Another time the sun in front of the moon. So, in both cases you got an eclipse. If the perspective catches them in the same exact position at that moment, which is what would have to happen, it's what we call a full eclipse, right or otherwise it's partial. Pretty easy to understand.

Eclipses do not debunk Enoch. Uh, actually, they debunk modern scientism who actually has a very poor explanation for this dynamic. Enoch accounts for them and very well and very scientifically.

First of all the sun NEVER gets in front of the moon. NEVER. That has never happened and it will never happen because the sun is stationary sitting at the center of the solar system which the earth and moon orbit. Enoch does not say in chapter 74 that the moon recedes BEHIND the sun. It does not even make sense to say "the moon turns back and recedes behind the sun" because for that to happen the moon would have to be moving TOWARDS the sun and thus it would not be receding. This is an addition inserted by Tim. Verse 6 does say the moon "recedes from the sun" which means the moon moves AWAY from the sun, not BEHIND it. A prior slide shows this verse.


25:06

Again, he is making the text say what it does not say. This is a common tactic for Timothy Jay Schwab which I have documented in his usage of the Perpiplus of the Erythean Sea and his usage of Thomas Suarez. When the facts don't fit Tim has a penchant for making them up. It's completely dishonest.

Second of all SOLAR eclipses occur when the moon passes in front of the sun while LUNAR eclipses occur when the earth passes between the sun and the moon. During a lunar eclipse the shadow of the earth is cast on the surface of the moon. Those are facts. What Tim is saying is not fact but unscientific garbage. 

Tim will next go on to "prove" his theory that Enoch charts out the course of eclipses by showing us a chart computing solar eclipses for the next ten years. Admittedly, within Tim's Enochian Sun and Moon schema it sounds plausible that the sun and moon moving through portals with the moon moving backwards until the twain meet could provide the explanation for solar eclipses. But it is quite telling that Tim has NOTHING to say about lunar eclipses.  Here is a chart from the same website as his solar eclipse chart. 

https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/list.html?starty=2020

How does Enoch explain that there are less lunar eclipses than there are solar eclipses? If Enoch accounts for there being 2-5 solar eclipses per year, a number Tim gives at around 26:31, how does he account for there being years without lunar eclipses? Tim does not say. He does not say a single word about lunar eclipses in this video. Neither Tim nor Enoch offer an explanation for lunar eclipses except to say:
Uh, both lunar and solar eclipses are explained by this dynamic as the moon could be in front asome times and the sun could be in front at some times, uh, from a certain perspective.
That is totally ridiculous as the sun NEVER gets in front of the moon. That has never been observed any where or any time.  Tim doubles down on this nonsense in the comment section.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58rrHPFc7Ek&lc=UgwPOBXO-hP1AtZtjO94AaABAg

This commenter wants to know how lunar eclipses happen and instead of explaining how the moon goes dark during a lunar eclipse Tim repeats his talking points and then when pressed stops responding. That's because he has NO answer to the question of how lunar eclipses occur.


I said above that Tim's explanation for eclipses sounds plausible enough within his Enochian Sun and Moon schema but when you take a look at just how the sun and moon would orbit a flat earth, yes Tim believes and teaches the earth is flat according to Enoch, his explanation rapidly deteriorates.

https://wiki.tfes.org/Flat_Earth_-_Frequently_Asked_Questions

Yes, I know that is NOT Tim's model. But it's the same as Rob Skiba's model and Tim uses his model in part 4 of this series about the moon. Two things are to be noted here. First of all picture the sun moving in concentric circles from the center of the image to the edge and back. Now, picture the moon moving in the same pattern but much slower and erratically. That would be an approximation of what Enoch's system looks like. That full system is what Tim is refusing to map out for his audience. Basically Tim is saying, "Trust me bro," when it comes to the moon and that simply won't fly. To prove his system he needs to map out the courses of the sun and moon together tracing their analemma. He does not do this and contrary to what one commenter said the analemmas of the sun and the moon do not match up with what Enoch writes or what Tim has charted as they both move in figure eight patterns up and down the sky while Tim has them moving in concentric circles. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksPELTKJUlk&lc=Ugzl_7IHsHatyxaZL1Z4AaABAg

The sun's analemma is proof that the earth is tilted because if that were not the case then the sun would not move across the sky in a figure eight pattern but would never move at all. 


If you looked at the Sun at the same time each day, from the same place, would it appear at the same location in the sky? If the Earth were not tilted, and if its orbit around the Sun were perfectly circular, then, yes, it would. However, a combination of the Earth's 23.5 degree tilt and its slightly elliptical orbit combine to generate this figure "8" pattern of where the Sun would appear at the same time throughout the year. The pattern is called an analemma.

Tim discusses the suns's analemma in video four and claims it is not proof the earth is tilted or wobbling but it is proof of perspective and that the sun moves.
19:26 They use circular reasoning and claim that this anathema (he means analemma) is evidence. They're actually using it as evidence uh yet they need to prove it ever happens in the first place. That is not  evidence of a wobble it is evidence of perspective, optical perspective just as we're showing you here.  
Obviously we see this pattern because of perspective. Everything we see is perspective but we do not see this pattern because the sun moves as Tim claims. It only appears to move. It is simply a fact proven definitively in our modern times by photography and astronauts that the earth orbits the sun which is stationary. Only arrogant blowhards like Timothy Jay Schwab continue to deny that fact. 

Second of all there is no reason for darkness to exist on a flat earth because there is NOTHING stopping the light of the sun! There would NEVER be night if the earth were flat. The sun would always be seen as it rotates across the horizon. It would never set. The darkness on this map is arbitrary because in reality there would be no object to stop or absorb the light of the sun. 

To sum up video 2 neither Enoch nor Timothy Jay Schwab give a sufficient explanation for eclipses, Tim refuses to chart the path of the moon and fully prove his claims, Tim falsifies the text of Enoch by claiming he said the moon recedes behind the sun when Enoch says no such thing, and the flat earth model does not account for night because there is nothing stopping the light of the sun which would never set if the earth were indeed flat. This video is incredibly ignorant and deceptive!

In the third video of this series Tim finally deals with that other channel he has been referring to and takes their arguments head on. Though he never mentions the channel's name it is obviously a video by Parable of the Vineyard which is part of a much larger series on Enoch.

The Error of the Moon for Days, Weeks, Months and Years. Part 3. Answers In First Enoch Part 45
The thing is though the other channel Tim is engaging with NEVER mentions The God Culture or their sloppy research or even alludes to The God Culture. This whole video is an exercise in paranoia. Instead of dealing with real issues and criticism like I offer Tim prefers to construct and burn down straw men. However, there is one interesting thing in this video which requires comment. Tim asks, "Does the modern day Bible canon support a 364 day?"
10:17 Does the modern Bible Canon actually say the year is 364 days? 

11:34. Yes is the answer. The modern Bible Canon does support the sun calendar.

23:20 I know then they'll say,"But that's just the Dead Sea Scrolls that's not the modern Bible Canon." Uh, yep it is.
Tim asks if the modern Bible canon supports a 364 day year.  But instead of actually quoting from the modern Bible canon Tim defaults to the Dead Sea Scrolls!! He even goes so far to call the Dead Sea Scrolls the modern Bible canon when that is very clearly not the case as Tim in his other videos repeatedly says the modern day Bible canon is a creation of the Pharisees! And he STILL fails to cite anything from Genesis but relies heavily on Enoch and Jubilees which both contradict Genesis in giving the sun the preeminence. 

The fourth and final video in this series is mostly about the Cepher Bible and how they use a wrong translation of Enoch and thus get the moon wrong. However the first twenty minutes is a farrago of unscientific nonsense with Tim attempting to prove the sun moves based on its analemma which I already mentioned above. 

Here's the thing. RH Charles' translation of Enoch is not a pure translation. He amends the text to his liking in several places. This verse about the moon, Enoch 74:13, is just one place where he is doing not translation but also interpretation by fixing the text rather than giving us what the text says exactly. The other verse Charles changes is much more significant and I have yet to hear Tim discuss it because after all he is a dishonest schlub who tells people they need to keep the law but still shaves! In the Book of Enoch, Enoch is called the Son of Man. 
Enoch 71:14 And he came to me and greeted me with his voice and said to me, “You (are) that Son of Man who was born for righteousness, and righteousness dwells on you, and the righteousness of the Head of Days will not forsake you.”  -George Nickelsburg and James Vanderkam translation

Enoch 71:14 And he (i.e. the angel) came to me and greeted me with His voice, and said unto me 'This is the Son of Man who is born unto righteousness, And righteousness abides over him, And the righteousness of the Head of Days forsakes him not.' -RH Charles translation

Now, I am not going to go in depth here on this subject but Tim, if he is reading this, needs to address this problem. RH Charles' translation is not correct and he notes that in the footnotes. Tim knows its there because he discusses it in the video and approves of the correction. He also excoriates the Cepher bible compliers for using an older translation of Enoch saying Charles' is better. Does he not know there have been translations of Enoch since Charles published his? I am sure he does but Tim does not care to compare versions. Tim's uncritical appropriation of Charles' translation of Enoch along with his introduction to the book and this series of videos shows how ignorant he is about this famous second temple period book.

The God Culture: The Lunatic Ravings of A Man Who Has Become Unhinged

Timothy Jay Schwab of The God Culture is totally unhinged and off his rocker. When confronted with observable, measurable, scientific facts his recourse is to insult the commenter and then accuse that person of being me!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfieRo5Pkac&lc=Ugy7pRaRww2XWoR2YPx4AaABAg

TheraAlthough I appreciate your efforts, I truly do. I must say regrettably you are using a one witness approach which is not scriptural. Scripture is clear that we need to measure time and space with three witnesses: the sun, moon and stars in tandem with each other. The heavens above are a time piece a perfect time piece, one could call it a clock. How many hands are on a clock? Three. You can’t simply tell time without the other witnesses. To add to that further you must understand the revolutions or sidereal cycle… the sun has a cycle of 365.25 days annually that is measured repeatedly aka empirical evidence. The moon’s cycle is 354 days annually, and sidereal month of 27.32 synodic month of 29.5. The stars move 23.94 hours a day not 24 hours again observable and repeatable. All this averages out to a total of 364 days per year just as stated by Enoch. I pray you keep digging to find the true Hebrew calendar that Enoch, Noah, Shem, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob etc all followed. Shalom.

This is a very sane and sensible comment referencing observable and measurable facts. The sun has a cycle of 365.25 days not 364 as Enoch says. The sun, moon, and stars work in tandem to tell us the times and seasons. The commenter ends by offering encouragement to Tim in finding the right calendar. 

Tim's response is to go apoplectic. 

The God CultureNo you don't as that is a lie and you would pay better attention if you were here to do anything but agitate! How illiterate can you be? Can you count to 3? Can you read? You certainly can't listen and understand. Evidently not to say something so stupid. You just said the only way one can qualify as a 2nd witness is it must be only the moon in a completely stupid false paradigm. How wrong. Then, you change scripture which says out of the mouth of 2 or 3, not 3, and you qualify the thousands of stars as 1 witness which is very inept and false. You don't even understand the meaning of the word "or" incapable of rendering even a sentence or phrase with accuracy so you my friend are no witness and you are peddling lies. You only missed the thousands of witnesses and that's really poor. Only an agitating blogger could be so stupid and proves so every week which is why he can only get 1 or less views per day to much of his trash. Clearly you are missing your witnesses to establish fact as no one agrees with you except your 2 dogs who have to perhpas. The problem is you can't even read. It says "2 or 3!" Learn the meaning of the word "or." 

Deut. 19:15 KV "at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established." 

Matt. 18:16 KJV "in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established." 

2 Cor. 13:1 KJV "In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established." 

The sun is the measure and it has many thousands of witnesses in the stars according to scripture as the sun and stars. 

First Enoch 74 FROM 9 MIN. INTO THIS VIDEO YOU DIDN'T WATCH OR ARE UNABLE TO COMPREHEND NOR COUNT! 12. And the sun and the stars bring in all the years exactly, so that they do not advance or delay their position by a single day unto eternity; but complete the years with perfect justice in 364 days. 

In fact, the moon witnesses the sun's course and purpose as well it's just not the sun as you would like to stretch so stupidly. 

Enoch, Moses, the Angel of the Presence, Yahuah in His own words, mega scripture from the Old Testament, the exiled Temple Priests at Qumran/Bethabara, the Gospels, Acts and writings of Paul, etc. are all witnesses to the sun being the measure to start the day and you are illiterate. If you think you can hit point after point here and do anything but look like a court jester, you are insane as you have looked so foolish so many times in your profound learning disability on so many topics you can't even understand with your less than elementary education. Learn how to read and count to 3 first. And you wonder why you can't even get 100 people to read your lousy attack blog, your anemic FB, your nonsensical YT videos, while actually trying to tell others what scripture and history says which you can't even read either. They know it. You are the definition of insanity. Get rid of that demon who drives you or you will die soon. Get out!

Instead of addressing the very scientific and measurable facts of the sun and moon's cycles Tim goes off the rails calling this person an idiot. Then he accuses them of being me! He even insults my dogs. 

Here is another one. A commenter asks how would the Book of Enoch survive the flood and Timothy Jay Schwab explodes in a rage and accuses this person of being me.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0IAEPPxd5s&lc=UgyzJBDkysr4W8XxJLt4AaABAg

Skip Wilson: I've got a question. Maybe you've answered it before and I missed it, if so I apologize. But my question is this, Since Enoch was as far removed from the flood on his side of it, as we are on our side of it, how did the "book of Enoch" survive the flood? Seems to me Parchment wouldn't do well in a flood, or likely ever be found in the sediment.. Just asking. Thanks

The God Culture: Think these things through a little rather than heading straight to ridicule in ignorance on this channel though let's not pretend we do not know whom this 1st time commenter is because no one can be this stupid except the trashy blogger incapable of thought even to the elementary level of a child. It makes you look silly and this is exactly how we all have been programmed to think as well as their aim. You can do better and rise above this petty thinking which is less than elementary. We answered that in Parts 1-2 of this series. Watch from the beginning. 

You don't need to go to whether parchment would survive the Flood which narrative you assume very falsely and continue on as if you even made a point. You did not as you never do bobo blogger. It would not if it were in the Flood of course, duh, thus why didn't you ask the next question a child could figure out yet land on assuming the worst requiring us to think for you even? That is an illiterate assertion that Noah would have a copy and just leave it on the ground and not take it with him. Really? What did survive the Flood and was it there? Duh! See the way they have you programmed idiot blogger? Don't fall for it though let's not pretend you are not the stupid criminal harassing blogger who just proved yet again just how stupid you are... First comment ever on this channel and you chose this dumb ridicule? Yeah... we know. 

Noah said he took it on the ark, as we covered and taught it after the Flood. You missed that because you are stupid and cannot comprehend a sentence whether alone a video or series yet you tried to ridicule those videos too bobo. How embarrassing for you clown. Abraham received a copy of it as well in his day centuries later and learned Hebrew and taught it as well. Next time, think out your question a little rather than assuming the book had no value to Enoch's grandson who took seeds, animals and what remained of pure humans to save them but court jesters like you would assume stupidly he wouldn't bother to bring the most important writing in his history from where he even learned of the coming Flood and knew had prophecy of the future to his sons to Abraham to Israel to the Temple to it's destruction to even Messiah coming in the flesh the first time to his ascension even and to His 2nd coming. 

No, you think he would just trash it? You can't even put basic concepts together and you write blogs? How stupid. Or what, there wasn't enough room on the ark which has now been configured to be able to fit 2 million animals the size of a sheep? But... a scroll just couldn't fit? How incredibly inept you are, failure. Think. At least try for once. You can do better than illiterate ridicule. And congratulations on your massive 2 views in 3 days on your last blog. Wow! You are insane by definition indeed. How about you get a life and stop making yourself a fool for an evil cause acting as satan in your demonic poise. And... spare us the fake response of how you are offended by your own stupidity claiming you are someone else when everyone knows better. Get rid of that demon or you will be slaughtered where they lead you. Grow up. Get out.

Did Tim even take the time to click on the commenter's name so he can view his profile? He joined on June 11, 2016!!! Does Tim really think I set up a fake account in 2016 and that I am only using it now to ask a question? Ludicrous!

These are the insane, lunatic ravings of a man who has become unhinged. He cannot defend his worldview when confronted with facts and he cannot answer simple questions so he goes on the attack! Does Tim really think that everyone who has a contrary opinion to him is me? This is beyond ridiculous. There is not much to say really. I am only making a short note to leave for the world to see that Timothy Jay Schwab of The God Culture is a paranoid nutter with a deep persecution complex.

The God Culture: The Course of the Sun

Just when you thought you were done with Timothy Jay Schwab of the The God Culture he pulls you back in. This time it's a series about the course of the sun and the moon. All of this is based on the Book of Enoch and falls within Tim's Answers in Enoch series. 

In this article I will only be covering his videos about the sun. In essence the sun moves through portals, is powered by the wind, and the intensity of the sun's heat determines the seasons. As I noted in my previous article about the True Church I only want to focus on the big picture here. There are so many details to get lost in but the big picture is what matters.  

The Sun's Course Animation. Enoch's Scientific Observation. Answers In First Enoch Part 40

Now, the first thing I want to mention here is that Tim does not actually show the course of the sun according to Enoch animated. The so-called animation is very slow and takes half an hour or so to watch. It's like looking through a flip book one page at a time. I did this animation much better a few months ago using Tim's maps.


And he did not even copyright strike it!  

The gist of this video is that the sun moves in concentric circles through several portals located in the east and west above the Pacific Ocean over the course of the year. The sun is powered by the wind and the portals regulate the intensity of the sun's heat which determines the seasons. 

15:58 The sun is powered by the wind.

19:42 And in the fourth portal, that is the rising portal in the east, that sunrise and it is the beginning of Enoch's chart period. There's never ever any discussion to be had on the moon starting either of those measures. And in that fourth portal from which the sun rises in the first month are 12 window openings. Now, we render these on screen as best we can. We didn't see them, again, Enoch did but these are pretty good. From which, now we know because we mentioned them before, from which proceed a flame when they are opened in their seasons. So, they're fueling the sun essentially um powering it as far as the intensity of its heat depending on the season obviously. Makes perfect sense.

Now, you might ask has anyone ever seen these portals?  Well, of course not because no one has ever been to space. 

11:35 These are located in the firmament which, well, no man has actually entered into space, uh, not in any vehicle built by man it's never happened and we're not gonna go into all of that in this video but check it out you really should research that if you have not. No one has ever reached it except Enoch among men.

What is he talking about?  There is an International Space Station orbiting the earth! Astronauts flew into space and repaired the Hubble telescope! Men have taken balloons into space and then jumped back to the earth! If Tim wants to say no man has gone to the moon that is one thing but to say no man has ever been to space?? Well, that is just completely wrong and totally ignorant.

It's really the second video where all of his theories about the sun come into full bloom because this is where Tim "tests" them. 

Testing The Sun's Courses of First Enoch. Modern Scientism Fails! Answers In First Enoch Part 41

Now, what is meant by testing? Is it rigorous math, experimentation, and observation using a telescope over a period of months or years like Galileo and Copernicus?  No. It's just regular old observation with your eyeballs because observation apparently tumps experimentation. 

18:59 Forget what you see that's what they're going to tell you. We are right, your eyes are wrong. I'm sorry that's unscientific as the definition of science is observation and experiment. Neither have been conducted by these, who are creating these ridiculous theories. They have neither. We have eyes though and we do observe, do we not? You can see it on screen.

If you listen to that you can hear Tim SHOUT the word observation and whisper the word experiment. Tim is going to disprove the tilt of the earth by using his eyes alone.


Here is the picture Tim uses to disprove the earth is tilting on its axis. 


This photograph is supposed to thoroughly rebut the fact that the earth is tilting and it is round. Is Tim really unaware that this photo is one tiny fraction of the earth's surface? The curvature of the earth was proved by experiments that happened simultaneously at places hundreds of miles apart which measured the length of shadows at the same time on the same day.

Eratosthenes heard about a famous well in the Egyptian city of Swenet (Syene in Greek, and now known as Aswan), on the Nile River. At noon one day each year — the summer solstice (between June 20 and June 22) — the Sun’s rays shone straight down into the deep pit. They illuminated only the water at the bottom, not the sides of the well as on other days, proving that the Sun was directly overhead. (Syene was located very close to what we call the Tropic of Cancer, 23.5 degrees north, the northernmost latitude at which the Sun is ever directly overhead at noon.)

Eratosthenes erected a pole in Alexandria, and on the summer solstice he observed that it cast a shadow, proving that the Sun was not directly overhead but slightly south. Recognizing the curvature of the Earth and knowing the distance between the two cities enabled Eratosthenes to calculate the planet’s circumference.

Eratosthenes could measure the angle of the Sun’s rays off the vertical by dividing the length of the leg opposite the angle (the length of the shadow) by the leg adjacent to the angle (the height of the pole). This gave him an angle of 7.12 degrees. He knew that the circumference of Earth constituted a circle of 360 degrees, so 7.12 (or 7.2, to divide 360 evenly by 50) degrees would be about one-fiftieth of the circumference. He also knew the approximate distance between Alexandria and Syene, so he could set up this equation:

Eratosthenes estimated the distance from Alexandria to Syene as 5,000 stadia, or about 500 miles (800 kilometers). He made this estimation from the time it took walkers, who were trained to measure distances by taking regular strides, to trek between the cities. By solving the equation, he calculated a circumference of 250,000 stadia, or 25,000 miles (40,000 kilometers).

Carl Sagan explains this experiment in the first episode of Cosmos more succinctly than I could ever hope to. You can watch that clip here. The thing to remember is you cannot always trust your eyes especially when it comes to the tricks light can play. In fact you cannot always trust any of your senses. How many times have people thought they were smelling gas when it was just Durian? That is why experimentation is needed and Tim offers zero experimentation in this video. 

As I noted in the first video Tim spends about 30 minutes tracking the course of the sun according to Enoch. He also states that the portals the sun passes through fuel the sun which causes the seasons.

So, they're fueling the sun essentially, um, powering it as far as the intensity of its heat depending on the season obviously. Makes perfect sense.

In the second video he proves this out by showing the monthly temperatures in the Philippines. He also uses other locales but the Philippines is what matters most of all.

26:47 Then December - January, again, middle month, middle month, uh, as well should make up the two coldest months. And what do we find? Exactly that! The coldest months in the Philippines.

Does Tim really live in San Fernando, La Union? The Philippines does not get cold! It is summer time all year round. That goes for all the equatorial nations especially island nations. While there might be a relatively slight chill in December and January there is no snow. There is no ice.  There is no winter here like in Maryland which is Tim's home state. In fact there are no seasons in the Philippines except wet and dry. 

Here is the graph he is using for the Philippines.

The average temperature hardly fluctuates from month to month. But if Tim's flat earth model of the sun entering and exiting portals in concentric circles with the intensity of its heat determining the seasons is correct they should vary more profoundly. We don't see that. Also if the location of the sun as per Tim's map is what determines the seasons then in December - January Antarctica should be blazing hot and the Sahara desert should be chilly. That is not the case as the climate remains stable all year round in those locales.

Tim's assertion that the heat of sun is fueled by the portals in the sky is asinine in the extreme. When it's summer in the Northern hemisphere it is winter in the Southern hemisphere and vice versa. The intensity of the sun's heat cannot account for winter in the south and summer in the north at the same time. Not to mention Tim does not show any measurements of the sun's temperature to bolster his claims. If the sun's temperature is fluctuating he should be able to show proof of that and then show how that causes the seasons. He does not even attempt to give such proof. Instead he relies on temperature charts for various locations. And how about the polar caps? They don't melt in summer and freeze in winter because it is always below freezing in those places. It's ridiculous.

I want to end here with a note about the North Pole and directions on a flat earth map.

41:49 Verse 27: "and the sun has therewith traverse the divisions of his orbit." It has completed all six gates at this point on both sides so all the gates it's entered. Uh, so they're all represented and that's all he's saying here. The east and the west which we have observed at this point if you followed all the way through. "And turns again on those divisions of his orbit." So, basically he's going to head back in the other direction. Um, "and enters that portal," uh, meaning, uh, north south not east west he always, it always rises in the east sets in the west. Of course. I shouldn't need to mention that but I know for some I do or there'd be a blog about how we don't know. Right? Idiot. 
Far be it from me to say Tim does not know the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. But what I will say is cardinal directions on a flat earth map are meaningless. Look at the North Pole!  It's in the center of the map! How is the center of the earth north? Likewise though Tim has the sun moving through east and west portals he also has the sun moving downwards or southerly. And he even acknowledges this in his video just before he mocks this blog! In fact, no matter what direction you travel on the flat earth you would ALWAYS be traveling towards the Antarctic wall or "South" even if you were trekking toward the North Pole! That is absurd!

As I noted these are just the highlights of these two videos. There is a lot of nonsense in both of them and I dare say Testing the Sun's Courses is Timothy Jay Schwab's most ignorant video to date. I had to pause so many times until I was able to contain my laughter. 

To sum this up Tim, along with Enoch, claims the heat of the sun is what determines the seasons. But that cannot be possible because the seasons are reversed in the Northern and Southern hemispheres. Also certain places like the Philippines and the Sahara maintain the same climate all year long. But even if it were true Tim offers no scientific proof. He doesn't even offer temperature readings of the sun. There is more astronomy to come from Timothy Jay Schwab of The God Culture as he will be discussing the course and purpose of the moon. I am sure it will be something to howl about!
