The God Culture: Retired Army Officer Col. Bienvenido "Bien" Gerrardo C Casis, Jr. Helps to Spread Propaganda and Lies

"It's SPREADING!!!," begins a Facebook post from Timothy Jay Schwab of The God Culture. 

https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=736476610245692&id=376627072897316

It's SPREADING!!! Entering Schools in the Philippines... Lodlod Integrated National High School, Lipa City, Batangas and the Yema Family pose with Preacher Bien and Rowie Casis who gifted them bundles of Ophir Philippines Coffee Table Book, The Search For King Solomon's Treasure and The Book of Jubilees: The Torah Calendar. Maraming salamat po Preacher Bien and Mam Rowie. Yah Bless you and the Staff and Students of Lodlod in Batangas. 

Did you order your copies yet?

Not sure who to give copies? We already have schools such as 1 in Cebu who would like copies even for students and we get requests regularly. Just let us know and we can direct.

Like a deadly virus The God Culture's false teachings and blasphemous theology has been SPREADING!!! Since 2017 when Tim published his first video thousands of Filipinos have been infected by his ear tickling doctrines and outrageous historical lies. Call it GODCULT-17. We can thank Preacher Bien for contributing to this spread as he gifted a family with bundles of Timothy Jay Schwab's books. He is a super spreader.

The implication in this Facebook post is that some schools are already teaching or plan to teach from "The Search for King Solomon's Treasure." Here is another satisfied customer and teacher proudly displaying her book:

A teacher from Laguna, Alilie Saga, sent in this photo of her copy of The Search for King Solomon's Treasure. She already has students who want to use it in book reports as well. That is awesome! Salamat po Alilie. Maraming Yah Bless.

Not Rizal, not Pigafetta, but Timothy Jay Schwab is the author of choice for her students who want to write book reports about "The Search for King Solomon's Treasure" rather than "Noli Me Tángere."

One teacher thinks "The Search for King Solomon's Treasure" should be required reading in every school.

https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=736505533576133&id=376627072897316

Amazing! This book should be required reading in every school. It exposes the true history of the PH based on the Bible and solid historical references. One must ask why the PH's true past was hidden and altered.  Perhaps it has something to do with Ophir's prophetic and mind-blowing destiny?

-Phillip Pastoral The Berean Project and Flying School Bus Homeschool

Based on solid historical references? No! Timothy Jay Schwab teaches that the Greeks were circumnavigating Africa to trade with the Philippines and that they thought the earth was flat. That is a lie with no historical foundation whatsoever. Those are two of many unhistorical assertions made in the book. Here are two more. 

On page 257 of "The Search for King Solomon's Treasure" Tim says the Spanish found the Sto. Niño which Magellan gifted to Rajah Humabon, whom he does not even name, in Mactan which is proof that the natives rejected the statue and did not worship it because Magellan gave it to him in Cebu and not Mactan.  His source for this is "History of the Philippine Island Vol 2." However this very same source contradicts him! Estevan Rodriguez, chief pilot of Legazpi's fleet, records the following.

The fleet set sail for Cebú, where after landing they found the village deserted. Legazpi ordered that each mess of four soldiers should take one house and the rest of the houses be destroyed. Everything was removed from the houses before any were destroyed.

"In this town when we entered we found therein a child Jesus. A sailor named Mermeo found it. It was in a wretched little house, and was covered with a white cloth in its cradle, and its little bonnet quite in order. The tip of its nose was rubbed off somewhat, and the skin was coming off the face. The friars took it and carried it in procession on a feast day, from the house where it was found to the church that they had built."

http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/13280/pg13280.html

The Sto. Niño was found in Cebu not Mactan. The natives also did not reject it. They worshipped it and it "wrought miracles for them." So says Antonio de Morga who also attests it was found in Cebu not Mactan.

He continued his voyage until reaching the island of Sebu, where he anchored, induced by the convenience of a good port and by the nature of the land. At first he was received peacefully by the natives and by their chief Tupas; but later they tried to kill him and his companions, for the Spaniards having seized their provisions, the natives took up arms against the latter; but the opposite to their expectations occurred, for the Spaniards conquered and subdued them. Seeing what had happened in Sebu, the natives of other neighboring islands came peacefully before the adelantado, rendered him homage, and supplied his camp with a few provisions. The first of the Spanish settlements was made in that port, and was called the city of Sanctisimo Nombre de Jesus [Most holy name of Jesus], because a carved image of Jesus had been found in one of the houses of the natives when the Spaniards conquered the latter, which was believed to have been left there by the fleet of Magallanes. The natives held the image in great reverence, and it wrought miracles for them in times of need. The Spaniards placed it in the monastery of St. Augustine, in that city.

History of the Philippines, Antonio Morga

Again, those are just two of the many historical lies in Tim's book rendering it unfit to be taught in any classroom. It's not just that those last two lies about the Sto. Niño are historically wrong. The problem is that they are part of an eccentric and prejudiced interpretation of the history of the Philippines which is incapable of serving any serious historical function. Tim goes on to say that the Spanish attempted to "rape and pillage" the Philippines and that the introduction of idolatry put a 400 year curse on the nation lasting from 1599 until 1999 enabling both the Spanish and the USA, which Tim ridiculously claims is part of the Holy Roman Empire, to fully subjugate the Philippines and steal its resources. It's beyond the scope of this article to dive into all of that nonsense. I will do so elsewhere. 

The God Culture says Philip Pastoral bought 10 copies of "The Search for King Solomon's Treasure" and received 10 free during their BOGO promotion. That is 20 books to give away. Like Preacher Bien, Philip Pastoral is a super spreader.

Surely this book will have to be approved by the DepEd before it is taught in schools right? Of course! There is a process for evaluating the suitability of books to be taught in Philippine schools. A teacher cannot teach from whatever book he wants. If The DepEd ever did approve "The Search for King Solomon's Treasure" it would be right in line with all their previous blunders.

https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1152074/coa-report-p254m-went-to-error-filled-deped-books

The Commission on Audit (COA) said learning materials of the Department of Education (DepEd) worth P254.253 million for Grade 3 pupils were riddled with errors despite the department’s three-step review process.

The materials include those for araling panlipunan, science and English, the COA said in its 2018 audit report.

“The existence of error-filled learning materials is an indication that the meticulous checking, review and evaluation processes of the manuscripts were not undertaken by the concerned bureaus before [their] mass production,” it said.

Citing Calipjo Go’s letter to the editor in the Inquirer in 2018, the COA said the Grade 3 “Araling Panlipunan Learner’s Material,” written by Manalo, Capunitan, Galarosa and Sampang, had a staggering 1,308 errors.

The audit body said that the 363-page Grade 3 “English Learner’s Material,” written by 15 authors, contained 430 errors.

The 185-page Grade 3 “Science Learner’s Material,” which was written in Filipino, was found to have  317 errors, an average of 1.7 errors per page.

Hopefully "The Search for King Solomon's Treasure" will never be taught in Philippine schools. Then again if it were adopted perhaps there might be an outcry from concerned parents and historians will give Timothy Jay Schwab and The God Culture the tongue-lashing they deserve. He may ignore my systematic dismantling of his fake history but he will have to answer the professionals in the field if they ever come a-calling. It would be great to see him confronted and forced to defend his false history on air in a TV interview or in some other public forum. But that will probably never happen. 

Let's take a closer look at Preacher Bien whom The God Culture refers to as "Retired Brig. General in the AFP and Army Officer Bien Casis." Here he is again on The God Culture's Facebook page posing with his book.

https://www.facebook.com/376627072897316/photos/a.382595402300483/704080416818645/?type=3

King Solomon's Treasure is found in the mountains of Luzon. Retired Brig. General in the AFP and Army Officer Bien Casis, now preacher and his lovely wife Rowie continue their journey with Ophir Philippines Coffee Table Book and The Search for King Solomon's Treasure. What will they find? Only one way to find out, read the books for yourself. Salamat po Preacher Bien and Rowie. Maraming Yah Bless.

Here he is with his family posing with Timothy Jay Schwab's books.

The Casis Family is enjoying their copies of The Search for King Solomon's Treasure and Ophir Philippines Coffee Table Book. What a terrific photo sent in by Mam Rowie. Salamat Mam Rowie, Preacher Bien and family. Maraming Yah Bless.

There are a few more pictures on The God Culture's Facebook page of Bien Casis and his family posing with Tim's books. Clearly Timothy Jay Schwab appreciates this man and finds his testimonials to be helpful. Perhaps it was Bien Casis who invited Timothy to speak at the Sabbath 2nd Conference on January 30th. Tim will once more be a featured speaker at the Sabbath 3rd Conference on Monday March 29th, 2021.

Here is Pastor Casis posing with his own congregation the Sabbath B C Congregation.

It appears that Pastor Casis' church is located in his garage. Here he is posing with huge bundles of The God Culture's books which he is going to give away. Preacher Bien isn't a mere super spreader, he is a super duper spreader.

What is this man's theological training which equipped him to be a Pastor? It is difficult to find out anything about Brigadier General Bien Casis of the AFP. There is a Brigadier General Abraham Claro Casis but absolutely nothing about a Brigadier General Bien Casis. That's because in 2015 Bien Casis retired from the Army as Colonel not as a Brigadier General. It seems his retirement party also functioned as his birthday party.  Here is the cake:

https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=10153709430298875&set=a.10153709389023875

Here he is sitting with his cap in front of him which clearly displays the rank of a colonel.

https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=10153709433233875&set=a.10153709389023875

Why The God Culture referred to Casis as a retired Brigadier General and were not corrected for that error is not apparent. Both Bien Casis and his wife shared that post despite Bien being wrongly refer to as a Retired Brigadier General. One person in his congregation keeps referring to him as Pastor Gen Bien. Why is that? Who told the Timothy Jay Schwab this man is a retired Brigadier General?

There is nothing available online to indicate that Casis received any theological training. His Facebook page lists the Philippine Military Academy and he also attended the U.S. Army War College but there is no indication he attended a seminary or Bible college. It also appears that he was a Baptist for quite a few years.  If he ever did receive Bible training then he has long since abandoned it because his doctrines about keeping the sabbath and the Torah are anti-Christian and no Bible college would ever teach such a thing.

Here is a bizarre guide to keeping the Passover posted by his wife on April 15, 2020.

https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10158138296553875&set=a.10158138284428875

April 8 The Passover Supper 

Things to do: 

- Examine yourself. Eat the passover worthily. If you are in contention with this observance, then don't follow it.

 - Bible Reading/Story Telling about the Passover of the Lamb in Exodus and relevance to Yahusha's death 

- Prepare the Lamb before hand (4-2 days before) 

- Roast the lamb on the night of the Passover 

- Prepare unleavened bread, wine(red grape Juice), bitterherbs (romaine lettuce, green onions, parsley). - No left overs after eating. Throw it immediately. 

- We will observe this supper together online in Bible reading, breaking the bread and drinking the wine. 

Could they be any more anti-Christian and blasphemous than that? Christ fulfilled the Passover by being sacrificed for us. He is the Passover lamb which the feast of Passover pre-figured.

1 Corinthians 5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:

We do not need to keep the Passover anymore because Christ fulfilled it in Himself by dying on the cross. The Passover is also a sacrifice. It's not just roasting a lamb and eating it. There are specific rules on performing this sacrifice. 

Deuteronomy 16:5: Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates, which the Lord thy God giveth thee:

6: But at the place which the Lord thy God shall choose to place his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt.

With no temple, no altar, and no priests to perform the sacrifice correctly this Passover observance is a mockery of the real thing. This little guide is a total repudiation of the work of Christ on the cross and shows that Bien Casis is ignorant of the grace of God in Jesus Christ and he teaches a false Gospel which is no Gospel.

That Casis is promoting Timothy Jay Schwab's false teachings by inviting him to be a speaker at his conferences and giving away his books indicates that he has not taken the time to investigate Timothy's claims. He has not read his books or watched his videos with a critical eye but has readily accepted Tim's falsehoods. Now he is attempting to spread them far and wide by giving away Tim's books. It's not only The God Culture's lies Casis is spreading. His Facebook page is filled with pro-Marcos propaganda such as this:

It's sad because Casis has said he is against lying.

Casis, a housing developer for alumni of the Philippine Military Academy, wants to make sure he gets a front seat to history as he watches his former PMA roommate and now Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong “simply telling the truth and providing everyone the big picture” on a controversial 2013 buy-bust operation in Pampanga.

“That’s what we were taught at the PMA. We don’t lie,” Casis said of his “mistah” (schoolmate).

https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1173953/magalong-lying-is-hard-you-have-to-keep-rehearsing

With his preaching false doctrines and the giving away of The God Culture's books as well as giving Timothy Jay Schwab a platform from which he can spew forth his false history and blasphemous doctrines Retired Col. Bienvenido "Bien" Gerrardo C Casis, Jr. is disseminating lies and is thus a liar.

The God Culture: The Replica Temple at Qumran

The doctrines of Timothy Jay Schwab who is the God Culture are not only appallingly heretical but downright unhistorical. Tim teaches that not only was the temple defiled by the Hasmoneans who usurped the priesthood and that the true temple priests fled to Qumran but he also teaches that those priests took the true temple worship with them including sacrifices. He says this very clearly and in no uncertain terms in an interview with Zen Garcia. 

Unlocking Hidden Truths with The God Culture - Zen Garcia & Tim Schwab

1:07:45 So, they call it the Dead Sea Scrolls. The reality is it's the Bethabara Scrolls. They are found in Bethabara and this was a community where the temple priests lived and continued the temple rituals, the temple sacrifices, all of that continued in this community. Just read their writings and it's very clear they were all about the law they were all about Covenant. They were all about keeping the Commandments and teaching it.

In a comment on one his videos Tim goes much further and claims the fleeing temple priests apparently built a replica of the temple in the wilderness of Qumran also known as Bethabara.

Psalm 83 War: Synagogue of Satan Exposed. Lost Tribes 8A

@scordova98: Okay all of this is great but I still am left with the question I've never been able to answer if the temple was desecrated at 165 BC why does Zechariah John's father offer incense at it?

@TheGodCulture: You assume he was in Jerusalem. The text does not say that. He may well have been in Qumran instead. That was a replica of the Temple and the legitimate Temple Priests were ONLY there. Otherwise, you do not know the pressures of that day with the Pharisees and he may well have been forced if in Jerusalem. The point is you don't know and you have no question because you can't ask one when you only make an assumption that may be wrong. If he was in Jerusalem, you just don't know so why assume the worst? That is no way to view scripture and your hypothetical in which you don't know the circumstances has no bearing on the Temple being desecrated as it was period. That is not up for debate especially not on such a non-point which you have none. Yah Bless.

It is quite possible Tim may mean that the community itself "was a replica of the temple" but that would not make sense if they were offering sacrifices and doing other rituals which required a physical temple. And Tim has said very clearly that the Qumran Community was engaged in such worship. 

The Gospel of Luke is very clear that Zacharias, John the Baptist's father, offered up incense in the temple which was a physical building. Tim says no such verses exist in the New Testament.

Apocrypha Test: Part 2: Who Decided Bible Canon? History of the Bible.

@sglc27 Thank you for this. I have a question. Zechariah John the baptist father still serve in the temple as priest before he is born right? So is the Pharisees reigning in the temple already that time of Zechariah or not yet? Because Zechariah is the priest that time right they still doing the old testament priestly orders? Because the romans are ruling already in Israel right? I am kind of confuse by the timeline. I’ m new in learning this.

@TheGodCulture Yes, since 165 BC, the Pharisee Sanhedrin controlled the worship system and the Temple. They were the government as well before the Romans as the Hasmonean Dynasty. All the same Samaritan imposter paradigm. John's father and the other Priestly Courses still served on their rotations about 2 weeks per year and in the Feasts. However, this could have been done in Bethabara instead of the Temple. There is no mention of the Priestly Courses in the Temple in the New Testament which is rather odd. Yah Bless.

Tim couldn't be more wrong. In Luke chapter one we read the following verses. 

5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.

8 And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course,

9 According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.

10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.

11 And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.

21 And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple.

22 And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.

Zacharias goes INTO the temple while the people wait OUTSIDE. He offers up incense on the altar of incense and encounters "an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense." The people wonder why he tarries "SO LONG IN THE TEMPLE." Then he comes OUT of the temple. Very clearly Zacharias was inside a building known as the temple. The ONLY temple recorded in the scriptures is the one in Jerusalem. Ergo Zacharias offered up incense in the temple at Jerusalem. 

Yet Tim says we cannot possibly know Zacharias was in Jerusalem.

You assume he was in Jerusalem. The text does not say that.

True the text does not say he was in Jerusalem but it does not need to because there is only ONE temple and it is in Jerusalem. It's like reading a book about someone visiting the Empire State Building. Does the author really need to tell you that the action takes place in New York City? 

But Tim says Zacharias could have been in Qumran.

He may well have been in Qumran instead. That was a replica of the Temple and the legitimate Temple Priests were ONLY there. 

Well, the text certainly does not say or give any hint that he was in Qumran. If he was in Qumran then there would have had to been "a replica of the Temple" as Tim says. The text is clear that Zacharias went in and out of a building. Has there been any discovery of the ruins of a temple at Qumran? No and Tim offers no proof for his baseless claim except to mention baptistries. 

13:12 I mean well look first of all what you see what we're doing here is systematically we're going through the Qumran find, what they call the Dead Sea Scrolls inappropriately, because 99.9% is all in Qumran, it's one Community. They had a, a basically, a temple that they built there. Wasn't the temple but it, it was structured like it with lots of water etc.

Unlocking Hidden Truths with The God Culture Episode 2 - Zen Garcia & Tim Schwab

Finally, Tim says something mind blowing. He insinuates even if Zacharias was in Jerusalem he might have been forced to offer up incense in the temple against his will!

Otherwise, you do not know the pressures of that day with the Pharisees and he may well have been forced if in Jerusalem. The point is you don't know and you have no question because you can't ask one when you only make an assumption that may be wrong. If he was in Jerusalem, you just don't know so why assume the worst?

Amazing. How exactly would the Pharisees force Zacharias to offer up incense in the temple? The text never even hints at such a thing. Tim is adding his own spin to the text. Now a story that is straightforward has become something else entirely. The sinister element of Zacharias being forced into the temple by the Pharisees is absolutely unprovable and ridiculous in light of the fact there is only one temple ever mentioned in scripture and it was located in Jerusalem. 

Furthermore the Qumran Community said in their own writings that they did not engage in animal sacrifices or any other temple rituals in the wilderness.

The second issue has to do with the sect’s attitude towards the Temple and Temple sacrifice. While some Essenes, notwithstanding their vow of total fidelity to the Law of Moses, rejected the validity of the Sanctuary and refused to participate (temporarily) in its rites (cf. Philo, Omnis probus 75; Josephus, Antiquities XVIII, 19), they evaded the theological dilemma in which this stand might have placed them by contending that until the rededication of the Temple, the only true worship of God was to be offered in their establishment. The Council of the Community was to be the ‘Most Holy Dwelling for Aaron’ where, ‘without the flesh of holocausts and the fat of sacrifice‘, a ‘sweet fragrance’ was to be sent up to God, and where prayer was to serve ‘as an acceptable fragrance of righteousness’ (IQS VIII, 8-9; IX, 4-5). The Community itself was to be the sacrifice offered to God in atonement for Israel’s sins (IQS VIII, 4-5; 4Q265 fr. 7 ii).

The Complete Dead Sea Scrolls, Gaza Vermes, pg. 83

The Community Rule says:

In the Council of the Community there shall be twelve men and three Priests, perfectly versed in all that is revealed of the Law, whose works shall be truth, righteousness, justice, loving-kindness and humility. They shall preserve the faith in the Land with steadfastness and meekness and shall atone for sin by the practice of justice and by suffering the sorrows of affliction.

Vermes, pg. 108-109 

When these become members of the Community in Israel according to all these rules, they shall establish the spirit of holiness according to everlasting truth. They shall atone for guilty rebellion and for sins of unfaithfulness, that they may obtain loving-kindness for the Land without the flesh of holocausts and the fat of sacrifice. And prayer rightly offered shall be as an acceptable fragrance of righteousness, and perfection of way as a delectable free-will offering.

Vermes, pg 110

Prayer was offered up "as an acceptable fragrance of righteousness." That means they did not make an incense offering. That means Zachariah could not have been performing the ritual of offering up incense in the temple in the wilderness of Qumran!

This claim that there was a replica temple in the wilderness of Qumran and that Zacharias might have offered up incense there is totally without merit and not founded upon anything except Tim's imagination. The claim that Zacharias might have been forced by the Pharisees to offer up incense in the temple at Jerusalem is also bankrupt of any foundation except Tim's delusions. These claims are more proof that Timothy Jay Schwab of The God Culture is totally ignorant and has no idea what he is talking about. 

The God Culture: Exclusive Interview With The God Culture

Recently my lovely assistant sat down with Timothy Jay Schwab of The God Culture for an in-depth interview. What follows is the transcript.

Exclusive Interview With The God Culture

Tonight we have a very special guest, Timothy Jay Schwab of The God Culture. We will be diving deep into his doctrines.  Get ready because this interview will blow you away. 

How are you tonight Mr. Schwab?

0:29 Doing Great.

Unlocking Hidden Truths with The God Culture - Zen Garcia & Tim Schwab 

That's good to hear. So, you are an American who moved to the Philippines not too long ago. Tell us about what it meant for you to relocate to the Philippines. 

2:11:00 You know, I have been here in the Philippines now for about eight years. Even becoming a  citizen and you can call me Petros. Nah, keep calling me the same thing. But you know I fell in love with this country a long time ago first with a beautiful woman who changed my life and just observing the culture of her and her mother and the way the Philippine people operate as opposed to the average American way....wow! I mean this has just been amazing.

But I had no idea where that would lead. You know, we moved here to the Philippines we weren't exactly sure what we were going to do. Right? I mean it was a big move. As an American I can't just go down the street and get a job too easy. So what do I do right? I'm not going to work in a rice field so uh but you know Yahuah has given us a vision and he's provided every step of the way. 

https://www.facebook.com/sabbathbc.congregation/videos/848713996196488

You say you became a Philippine citizen does that mean you gave up your American citizenship? Are you no longer an American citizen?

49:37 You know when it comes down to it America came in as conquerors. That's how they approached the Philippines. They could've just given the Philippines their freedom if they were to spread democracy. We came in here to spread democracy. See, America's a great place, except for that's not what they did. They sent their military in and they crushed the Philippines, killing in some estimates as many as 2 million Filipinos. That's a conqueror. They had their boot on your neck. That's how they operate and they can try to paint it whatever way they want. I am an American but I know the truth and I'm going to tell the truth. I am ashamed at what my country did and I am proud to be a Filipino

https://www.facebook.com/sabbathbc.congregation/videos/460905962381641

We all know that you did not move to the Philippines to work in a rice field. Instead you ended up working on a video series and then you published a number of books. Tell us about the vision for the Philippines that God has given you. 

21:08 This is why Yahusha said this land will restore his law. This land will rise against the final generation (kingdom?). It's why Isaiah said His law will be restored in this land. Why just the Philippines? It's not just the Philippines, it's the land of creation, the land of the Garden of Eden, the land of his Holy of Holies. His presence is here. You know, one thing you wonder and a lot of the world wonders and, I don't know, I'm sure there's studies that show somebody else somewhere, to me Filipinos are the happiest people on earth. At some point you've been conquered and raped and stolen from and all of these things in history in the last 400 years or so and yet you're still the happiest people on earth. Why? Because you are just above the Holy of Holies above Yahuah. That's why. Wow.

https://www.facebook.com/sabbathbc.congregation/videos/2216671111842774

Tell us more about what you mean by "restoring the law." Is it not true Jesus Christ came to free us from the law by fulfilling it? Certainly there is no temple in Israel.

22:08 Obviously there is no temple in Israel today so no actual need to go there although certainly visit that's fine. But we don't need that anymore. In fact watch our Solomon's Gold series and you will find His Holy of Holies on earth has always been put permanently in the Garden of Eden which we locate in the Philippines. And the one in Israel was very temporary of course. Thus everyone should really travel to  the Philippines for these feasts. How about that? Something to think about. And this is why we say that the Philippines is where they will reinstate these feasts in full especially.

"Feasts of YHWH: Spring Feasts in New Testament? Part 1A."

But if there is no temple how can one keep the feasts in full since they are to be kept in the place God designated which is at the temple? And what about not knowing the correct dates on which God says to keep them? Is that not a problem? Can one really keep the feasts if they are not being kept in the right place at the right time?

1:09:59 But no one has these dates a hundred percent that we can verify including us, uh, so don't beat people up over oh well you do it this day oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, don't do that. The point, keep the feast.

The Feast of Tabernacles: Sukkot, A Shadow Of Things To Come. Feasts of YHWH Series

You said that the Holy of Holies is in the Garden of Eden which is in the Philippines. Where in the Philippines is the Garden of Eden located?

34:36 So, there you go. The Garden of Eden is just below the Philippines under the Sulu Sea.

Where is the Garden of Eden? Answers In Jubilees: Part 8

The Garden of Eden is under the Sulu Sea? That sounds inaccessible and uninhabitable.

29:07 So there you go. New revelation. Elijah just as Enoch was also taken into the Garden of Eden where the two of them remain.  Wonder what they're doing? Well, they are priests. They're just as a temple priest in the Holy of Holies because they are in the permanent Holy of Holies of Yahuah. Now, we know Enoch was sacrificing even burnt offerings according to the book of Jubilees we covered so essentially they took the place of Adam who was a priest in the garden. He was keeping the garden. It is clear this is the case and these two continue to live and serve Yahuah there. They remain holy and will to the end.

Where Are Enoch and Elijah Now? Not Heaven. Answers In First Enoch: Part 28

Wow! Enoch and Elijah are sacrificing burnt offerings in The Garden of Eden underneath the Sulu Sea below the Philippines? Does that mean there are animals living in the Garden of Eden? Can we enter the garden and visit Enoch and Elijah? 

27:39 You and I, however, can't enter but it will be open to us again in the end on the day of judgment. 

Where Are Enoch and Elijah Now? Not Heaven. Answers In First Enoch: Part 28

Aside from being the location of the Holy of Holies on earth what is it that makes the Philippines so special in the last days?

2:13:51  Because Jesus, Yahusha, said Himself that the Philippines will rise in the last days and stand against the New World Order, the one world government. The Philippines! Can you imagine that? Start. Because it's coming soon. His prophecies never return unto him void. 

https://www.facebook.com/sabbathbc.congregation/videos/848713996196488

It seems rather exciting to imagine that the Philippines will be rising up to fight against the New World Order. Tell us more about that. 

1:31:53 The Two Witnesses are coming and they will stand in the strongest of ways and we do believe that will be the first three and a half years of the tribulation when many will rise all over the world against the corruption. But the two lands which will lead this charge will be Kurdistan and Philippines according to the words of Yahusah Himself. And the Two Witnesses will come from there as well.  

In other words other governments around the earth will be preparing for the rise of their Messiah.  They already are.  The Beast or the anti-christ, the anti-Messiah to some, also known as the Mahdi in Islam, Maitreya in the New Age mythos, and the Jewish Messiah to come as well who is not Yahusha who they reject even still, who already came.  

But these two lands, Kurdistan, Philippines, will rise against that final generation and condemn it in Messiah's words. That means they will lead a charge to repentance all over the world. Though two of them, perhaps prophets, maybe even small groups, will go to Jerusalem and prophesy for 1260 days. We believe we are already beginning to see the stage set for this as these two lands especially are lost tribes areas as is Central Africa.

Two Witnesses of Revelation Explained. This Will Rock Your World. Ophir, Sheba, Tarshish

When do you think this final generation will arrive? Is it our generation or is there still more time?

51:41 So, 2120 for the tribulation start and 2127 for Messiah's return. These are ballparks. We're not saying exacts, we're not saying it's exactly and we don't know. Look, this isn't trigonometry or calculus we could be off a decade, we could be off a year, we could be off certain months, we could be not considering something. We're not saying any of that, all right? This isn't an exact science. We don't care for it to be because we don't get to know the day or the hour. But here's what we do know. We know it's time to prepare. We know when the season is and we have about a century folks.

DANIEL'S 2300 DAYS. Count To The End? Part 2. Answers In 2nd Esdras 11

Let's go back to your comment about "restoring the law." Is it not true Jesus Christ came to free us from the law by fulfilling it?  

30:18  He came to fulfill the covenant which is certainly for us indeed. This was His purpose but has He done this yet? Didn't He do that on the cross already and in His resurrection? Well let's see what He says about that. 

"Think not that I am come to destroy the law," that's the law of Moses, "or the prophets," that's the Old Testament, the writings of the prophets. "I am not come to destroy," destroy what? The law of Moses nor the Old Testament.  "But to fulfill," fulfill what? The law of Moses and the prophecies of the prophets, the Old Testament. And then He tells when all will be fulfilled and he does not use His resurrection as the timestamp at all.  "For verily I say unto you till heaven and earth pass one jot or one tittle," Hebrew letters basically, "shall in nowise pass from the law till all be fulfilled."   

Now when does heaven and earth pass away? When all is fulfilled. Did it pass away at His resurrection. No. It's still there. Revelation 21 says that heaven and earth pass away at the time of the final judgment basically. Look around. Has earth passed away yet? If someone tells you it ever did they don't know scripture because the first heaven and earth are still here.  

And the second one does not take place until that time of the end according to scripture essentially at the final judgement. But also this passage tells us when the law is fulfilled. All is fulfilled when? When heaven and earth pass away.  Why, by the way?  Because heaven and earth are the witnesses to the law in scripture. Keep reading though. 

"Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments and shall teach men so he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven." Why would He say this knowing He was about to go to the cross if He were about to fulfill the law?

Lost Tribes Series: Part 4A: Grafted Into the Kingdom

So, you are saying Christ did not fulfill the law? Did he not say it is finished while on the cross?

33:12 There's only one day of judgment and that's when all souls are judged. All of them. Billions. Uh, Messiah's greatest work is to come. Uh, the cross was wonderful and very significant no doubt but he did not complete his work on the cross and no scripture actually says he does. That comes out of our pulpits but actually his greatest works are to come.

Unlocking Hidden Truths with The God Culture - Zen Garcia & Tim Schwab

So, you are saying Christ did not fulfill the law or complete His work, and we must still keep the law?  Is that right?

20:05 For us to not keep his law, uh-oh here it comes, is also to not love Him. As if we love Him what do we do? John 15, keep my commandments. Even in revelation what are they found doing at the very end the end times remnant? Keeping His commandments, His law.  Do we love him? This is a covenant folks and it is  the way it works. See that's they way he defines this. It's a covenant relationship. This is intimacy wth the Creator.  He loves you that much. He wants to be intimate with you in relationship. Are we in relationship with Him or not?

Sabbath Series: Part 3B. Messiah Kept the Sabbath.

18:52 Relationship with Him is the requirement of salvation and for getting our prayers answered.

Lost Tribes Series: Part 4A: Grafted Into the Kingdom

You are equating and reducing our relationship with God to keeping the law. What about righteousness by faith apart from the law? Romans 3:21-22 says, "But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe."

19:30 So this is another example that 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.

Sabbath Series: Part 5: The End Times Sabbath

40:11 The law is what redeems us.

The Law of Sin and Death. What is it? NOT The Law of Moses! WHAT DID PAUL SAY?"

The law is what redeems us? But in Galatians 3:13 Paul says, "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law." Paul also tells us Abraham was not justified by keeping the law but by his faith. Romans 4:3 says "Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness." That means he was righteous apart from the law.

16:44 Abraham kept the law and the sabbath. And so did Isaac and Jacob.  I mean how can they be called righteous if there was no law by which they could be judged as righteous? The very notion is ridiculous from the start.

Sabbath Series: Introduction Commentary Only

It seems that you are saying a man is not saved by faith but by keeping the law. 

11:39 Abiding is doing something, by the way. It's not sitting back and doing nothing. Abiding is something that you physically have to do in relationship with Him which is never defined in all of scripture as saying a shallow prayer and checking a box on a decision card. 

Lost Tribes Series: Part 4A: Grafted Into the Kingdom

If abiding in Christ is dependent upon our works and not the faithfulness of Jesus Christ who promised in John 10 I will give you eternal life and no man can pluck you out of my hand how can we ever have any assurance of  our salvation? 

27:46 People ask at times how do we know we are saved? Well, are you keeping the sabbath? That is the sign of one who is saved and in relationship with Him. Sorry, we tell the truth here. 

Sabbath Series: Part 1. What is the Sabbath? Did it pass away? The Biblical Truth

So, keeping the Sabbath indicates we are saved?

22:35 One person commented drawing the conclusion that we teach sabbath is salvation and that, we want to call out right now, is absolutely ridiculous. Wrong. We never said that. We said knowing Him in a true relationship is and always has been, even in the Old Testament, salvation.

Sabbath Series: Part 3B. Messiah Kept the Sabbath.

A moment ago you said keeping the sabbath is "the sign of one who is saved."  But now you are saying the opposite and that keeping the sabbath is not indicative of salvation. How do you reconcile this contradiction? Can a person lose their salvation if they do not keep the sabbath and the rest of the Mosaic law?

59:10  For if God spared not the natural branches, the Israelites, take heed lest he also spare not thee. Wait I thought you couldn't lose your salvation. Hmmm.

Lost Tribes Series: Part 4A: Grafted Into the Kingdom

8:20 There is no such thing as "once saved always saved" because you said a prayer. Forget it, it's not Scripture. Salvation is always in Scripture according to Paul, especially, a lifestyle. Again read Matthew 7, read John 15 the whole chapters and you will find Messiah defines salvation not Paul and Paul agrees with his definition and he has to. Most especially to Paul who just said so in this passage multiple times as he tells us that we should do good works, that we should walk, that we should have relationship. We're talking about action words here, we're talking about us having to do something. He's also saying to keep the law. That's doing something.   

Colossians 2. What Did Paul Say? Not What We Are Told.

Where does Jesus Christ fit in all of this? What need do we have of Him if our salvation depends on keeping the law? Isn't Jesus Christ the core of the entire Bible? 

45:00  The Sabbath and the feasts are the core of the biblical calendar and of the entire bible.

Sabbath Series: Part 2A. Origin of the Sabbath. Not Moses!

10:39 Again, is there salvation through the law? No. One is not saved by keeping the law.  That is Pharisee doctrine, not what Paul says. Paul is clear there is only salvation through Yahushah Hamashiach. 

It may sound confusing but it's actually very simple. It has become confusing because Pharisees have gotten their hands in it and mixed it up.  We receive Him in making a decision to make Him our Lord. I mean a real decision not just saying a prayer and in fact a prayer is not even required. However we are saved if we continue in that relationship and this where the law comes in because if you claim Messiah is your lord you cannot serve the law of sin and death any longer. If you serve the law of sin and death He is not your Lord. Sorry but He's not. He can't be. You cannot serve two masters, right? He said that. And there is no reconciling the two opposite laws as somehow the same. 

Colossians 3. What Did Paul Say? Not What We Are Told.

Tim, you say that we are not saved by keeping the law but earlier you said that our relationship to God is defined by keeping the law which is the same thing as saying we are saved by keeping the law. You even said the law is what redeems us. Do you not see this as a contradiction? Isn't it true that while you are saying we must keep the law you are living in open sin by being  married to a twice divorced woman which is something Jesus condemned when he said "whosoever shall marry her that is divorced commiteth adultery?" How do you reconcile the contradiction between your doctrine of salvation by keeping the law and your living in open adultery?

35:46 Just so you know I am divorced and remarried myself. At the time I was ministering, leading worship and helps ministry, at a mega church in Florida in which that group of pastors assessed my situation and shows it was lawful and they married my Filipino wife and I in their Chapel with her full endorsement, many of those pastors even in attendance but their full support. We continue to be vetted and by many since and this woman is the largest blessing of my life. This is a blogger somehow who employ such distasteful, disgusting and demonic, poets who actually said my wife, my wonderful wife, should be put away.

How dare he. He better hope I am able to follow the commandments if I ever meet him, that's for sure.

Sabbath Series: Part 3D: Sermon On The Mount: Did Messiah Abolish the Law?

Let's move on to another topic. Do you believe in the Trinity? That God is three persons, the Father, Son, and Spirit, in one divine nature? 

1:00:44 Then espousing some doctrine of men like Trinity which is a word that never even appears in scripture once. That's why you don't see any videos from us on that. We could care less about the doctrines of men. 

Sabbath Series: Part 3C. Did Messiah Break the Sabbath?

Yes, the word Trinity is not in the Bible but certainly the concept is right? 

36:22 Moses wrote Genesis and he wrote Elohim in the beginning because the Elohim he refers to is two, the Father and the Son. 

Restoring Creation: Part 2: Continued... Did Moses Write the First Chapters of Genesis?

What about the Holy Spirit? Isn't He also God?

1:27:47 Yahusha said Moses wrote of me. Hello? He did so in Genesis and Jubilees first and actually if we went back even further uh, when it says "In the beginning Elohim said", right, Elohim created the heavens and the earth, well, that word Elohim is there, not God, by the way. It's Elohim in Hebrew and it's plural. It's two. It's the Father and the Son. Some throw in the Holy Spirit uh, we can't find any Scriptures where the Holy Spirit is a creator, but whatever. 

Restoring Creation: Part 3: What Is the Origin of Genesis? Not Sumer or the Occult!

You say that the Holy Spirit is not God but everything He does, everything attributed to Him, indicates he is God. In Ephesians 2:22 Paul says we "are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit." Surely that would mean the Spirit of God is divine? 

13:08 There's no mention in Jubilees of the Holy Spirit specifically. Uh, Moses doesn't separate him out there, uh, and that may be telling, uh, but we're, we're not sure on that though we'll keep researching. Uh, he mentions all the spirits that serve before Him, uh, which are indisputably angels. Uh, whether the Holy Spirit is included in that we don't know. Uh, that's a topic for another series requiring a lot of research we're not going to touch yet but we will eventually. We'd like to get to that, anyway. We know He was there though and that the Angels weren't yet, uh, at that point on Genesis 1:2. Uh, so if if He was created per se He would have been created before, uh, the Angels not at the same time and certainly not lumped in with them. So, not sure that, that that's the case and He very well may be. Uh, yes he's the Eternal Holy Spirit but Eternal, uh, the angels are Eternal, man is eternal so that doesn't mean that He existed prior to being created if he was a creation like other Spirits. There's just no mention of Him as existing prior and the word Eternal does not denote no beginning, again. So, there's no scripture that really says, okay, and that may actually tell us much.

Restoring Creation: Part 13: Where Did the Water and Deep Come From? Gen. 1:2 Understood in Job 26

You heard it here folks. The Holy Spirit, the very spirit of God who dwells within us and seals our redemption, is a creation.

Tim, tell us what future projects you are working on.

2:30:58 But we're working on a textbook. A real textbook. A four year course that will teach, especially Filipinos but people all over the world, the foundation of the Bible which includes the Philippines. Because it includes the Garden of Eden which is here. You don't get a more significant land than that of the Garden of Eden, the very land of creation itself. So, we're working on that project right now and we hope to get that out in time. 

https://www.facebook.com/sabbathbc.congregation/videos/848713996196488

A real textbook? Does that mean your books and videos will be taught in the classroom?

1:01:35 Of course we we understand there's a lot of professors out there whose jobs are at stake if they took a stand for this. But do you know there are some that are teaching this in classrooms? I won't expose them but there's one who asked us for Solomon's Treasure and we sent them copies for their classrooms. There's another one that's using the videos and they're actually showing Solomon's Gold Series in the college classroom.

Thanks for taking the time to talk with us Tim. I am sure the audience has learned quite a lot from what you have to say about the Philippines and the Bible.

1:41:40 I want to thank you for having us on. 

The Mystery of Solomon's Gold - The God Culture Channel and Zen Garcia

And there you have it folks. That was Timothy Jay Schwab of The God Culture. A man who believes Filipinos will fight the anti-christ, faith in Christ is not enough to save a person, one can lose their salvation, and the Holy Spirit, the very spirit of God himself who dwells within all believers, is a creature. Is that what you believe too? Good night everybody and see you next time.
