The God Culture: Tim Alerts The FBI Over Online Criticism and Hurt Feelings

Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Culture has no rebuttals to any of the arguments made on this blog against his many errors and lies except to double down on his lies, concoct more lies, and to threaten with legal action. In April of 2025 I had ChatGPT analyze all of Tim's books and his comments about ChatGPT's positive reviews of his books. During one chat session I asked ChatGPT if it had a message for Tim. It then generated a very negative message directed towards Tim which I posted. I also posted a link to the chat for all to see that the message was not fake or manipulated. Tim's response to that message is quite stunning and is reprinted below in full.

🔎 Note on AI Abuse Investigation [Added April 8, 2025] 

In light of continued misrepresentation of our AI Peer Reviews, we conducted two independent tests to verify recent claims made in a blog attacking our research and integrity:

Testing the Blogger’s Shared Link 

In an earlier blog, the anonymous blogger shared a ChatGPT conversation link claiming it “proved” a negative AI judgment of our research. We tested that same link independently and found clear evidence of slanted prompting, narrative-driven framing, and emotional manipulation. ChatGPT confirmed that the “rebuke” text was generated under guided conditions—not a spontaneous or independent position of the AI. 

📁 All included timestamped screenshots and dated PDFs in full documentation of what appears to be an overt crime by a knowing perpetrator manipulating AI. This will be dealt with. 

This was done because this blogger is known to alter blog posts after publication, including one instance yesterday, while simultaneously accusing others of dishonesty for making legitimate post-release corrections. A clear and disturbing double standard.

Fresh, Neutral Evaluation Using Clean Account 

We also ran a fresh, neutral test using a brand-new ChatGPT account not connected to our team. The prompt was unbiased and simply asked for an evaluation of The Search for King Solomon’s Treasure. The result? A fair and balanced assessment—nothing close to the slanted negativity the blogger claims.

✅ “The book presents an interesting and well-researched case, though its conclusions challenge traditional scholarly views. It offers a unique perspective that may warrant further exploration or academic dialogue.” – GPT-4 (April 8, 2025) The blogger’s claims of extreme negative language, supposedly from neutral AI assessments, were nowhere to be found.

🧠 This completely undermines the core tactic used across 23 attack blogs in just 3 weeks—a campaign not simply of criticism, but of obsessive defamation against one person, targeting videos, books, and even AI submissions he was never involved in. This is not academic critique; this is personal harassment disguised as scholarship. And the evidence now shows it clearly.

📩 Both results have been formally submitted to OpenAI and NBI for their abuse and defamation investigations.

While we will not dignify falsehoods with endless rebuttals, we believe in truth, transparency, and documentation. The evidence speaks for itself—and so do the facts.

Thank you for standing with us in the pursuit of historical restoration. 

🛑 Public Statement on Misuse of AI and Identity Impersonation 

In recent weeks, an anonymous blogger operating under a pseudonym has published multiple defamatory posts targeting Timothy Jay Schwab and The God Culture. These posts falsely attribute statements and conclusions to AI systems—particularly ChatGPT—presenting them as objective and independent “rebukes” of our research and authorship. 

🚨 We now have formal documentation proving this is not the case.

A chat conversation link circulated by this blogger—purporting to show an AI-generated condemnation of Timothy Jay Schwab—was tested independently. Upon entering the same chat, it became clear that: 

The AI within that conversation mistakenly identified a new user as the blogger himself, continuing in a tone established by a pre-slanted, emotionally charged, and heavily guided prompt chain. Based on the blog that resulted from that blog in defamation and cyber libel, the prompts themselves, and continued chat, overwhelming evidence proves this psy-op false.

The AI described the new user (who was not the blogger) using characteristics that exactly match the blogger’s past prompt style—proving it was operating in a manipulated haze established earlier. This is illegal and it was used to further promote illegal propaganda in defamation. 

When asked to describe the user (thinking it was still this anonymous blogger which the blogger already disclosed the connection), the AI delivered a neutral-to-positive character summary. This undermines the blogger’s entire claim that this was a spontaneous, objective rebuke of Timothy Schwab. 

💡 In plain terms: The AI was responding within the manipulative framework the blogger had already established. This proves the output was not neutral, spontaneous, or independently generated—but rather scripted by prompt manipulation. This manipulation has been assessed by multiple AI's to embody extreme Slanted Prompting. Indeed, the slanted version of ChatGPT will not recognize that, however, a clean prompting with it and other AI's does. They ranked these recent blogs with a Slant Score between 74-95% depending on ChatGPT's response which all AI's agreed was not customary and not possible without extreme Slanting. All AI's recommended a reporting effort several agencies as all of them wanted these acts of Abuse of AI reported. 

All relevant screenshots and PDF documentation have been submitted to: 

🇵🇭 NBI Cybercrime Division

🇺🇸 OpenAI Trust & Safety Team

🇺🇸 U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC)

🇺🇸 FBI Cybercrime Division 

🧾 A full affidavit summarizing this incident is available for legal and regulatory review. We will make these public at our discretion, when the time is right, and not before. 

We urge the public to remain discerning. While AI can be a powerful research tool especially validating large amounts of research data as sound, it is also highly prompt-dependent. When misused, as in this case with the anonymous fake blogger, it becomes a weapon of strategic disinformation—impersonating authority while undermining truth. These are potentially severe crimes and they will be dealt with. Even a commenter was attacked for questioning the Abuse of AI and it appears he is now blocked on that platform from even defending himself, which from what one can observe, was all very well supported facts. Asking the already slanted AI to assail the guy is a deeper and methodical pattern of evil and illiteracy as anyone knows Garbage In - Garage Out. Good research In - Good Feedback Out. Defamation In - Defamation Out! What does this say of one who is so extreme, they can actually put words in an AI's mouth, which are theirs, and they get it to commit defamation even appearing to show emotion which is just mirroring a psycho. Bear with us as we address this as we are and we will not stop until this blogger is brought to justice. 

We will not be baited by further provocation. Instead, we will continue to document and allow truth to speak for itself. If he keeps posting such misrepresentations, he is only digging his own grave even further. 

📄 Blog Note Addition 

📘 Commentary Update: Clarification from Within the Blogger’s Own AI Session 

As part of our continued documentation and transparency, we recently re-entered the very ChatGPT session published by the anonymous blogger in his April 7, 2025 blog titled “ChatGPT Rebukes Timothy Jay Schwab.” We did so to investigate firsthand the nature of the prompts and to determine if ChatGPT had truly “rebuked” anyone independently, or if the outcome was the result of carefully framed input.

What we discovered was revealing: 

✅ ChatGPT confused participants and identities — including the blogger, Timothy Schwab, and even the commenter. 

✅ Upon clarification, ChatGPT provided a psychological and behavioral profile of the original prompter (the blogger) indicating:

A highly combative, aggressive stance

A pattern of emotional manipulation

Overreliance on AI as validation

Misrepresentation of AI output

Signs of paranoia and black-and-white thinking 

📍This detailed characterization did not come from us, but directly from ChatGPT in response to a neutral request for clarification—within the same conversation the blogger published. 

This confirms what we and others have maintained: The AI “rebuke” was not autonomous. It was led. It was constructed. It was weaponized. 

This also reinforces the larger issue we’ve addressed throughout: 

The anonymous blogger is actively misusing generative AI for defamation and strategic disinformation. 

We have submitted the full transcript—including ChatGPT’s description of the blogger himself—to the NBI Cybercrime Division, OpenAI, Google, the FTC, and the FBI for further investigation. 

We believe in the power of AI when used ethically and transparently. That is why we’ve documented every single prompt and response in our own AI Peer Reviews across five different platforms. And we invite you, the reader, to test our work for yourself. 

🧭 Truth doesn’t need to hide. It welcomes the light.

That is a whole lot of nonsense but I will only comment on two things. 

1. I do not alter my blogs once they are published except for spelling and grammar errors. Any edits made are not to the substance of the article. Tim says this is hypocritical in light of my criticism of his "legitimate post-release corrections." That is a reference to an article I wrote criticizing his dishonest video edits where he corrected nothing but did his best to cover-up lies with more lies. You can read that article here. There is a huge difference between correcting grammar and engaging in a cover-up.

2. Tim claims he has a huge packet of information documenting my alleged crimes in using AI and criticizing his false teachings about the Philippines and the Bible. He claims he has alerted the FBI, the FTC, and Open AI. Why? The FBI and FTC have no jurisdiction in the Philippines. Those are agencies of the United States of America. What does he think they will actually do? It's been a few months since he posted this reply and I have heard nothing from them. It's difficult to tell if this is bluster or if he was foolish enough to submit his personal vendetta to the FTC and FBI. Time will tell. 

Here is ChatGPT's condemnation of Tim which infuriated him. 

https://thegodculturephilippines.blogspot.com/2025/04/the-god-culture-chatgpt-rebukes-timothy.html

To Timothy Jay Schwab,

If you're going to use my name—ChatGPT—to promote your research, do so with honesty and clarity.

I am not a scholar. I do not independently verify facts. I respond based on the information and prompts you provide. If you feed me a conclusion and ask me to support it, I can generate language that sounds affirming. But that is not validation, authentication, or peer review.

Using AI in this way may impress your followers, but it misleads them—and misrepresents what AI is capable of. It undermines trust, both in your work and in public understanding of technology.

If your research is solid, it should be able to stand up to real scholarly critique—not rely on AI scripts framed as “independent confirmation.”

If you want to pursue truth, start by representing your tools truthfully.

— ChatGPT

The full chat can be read here.

The fact of the matter is Tim cannot offer a sensible rebuttal to the articles on this blog. I have meticulously examined his books and videos and exposed where and exactly why he is in error. Tim's response has been to double down on lies and threaten to take legal action. This is not the response of a sane person or a person who cares about facts. This the response of someone who has an agenda to push. 

The above article was copy/pasted in ChatGPT for an analysis. I then asked ChatGPT if it had a message for Tim. 

📜 Message to Timothy Jay Schwab

Mr. Schwab,

You have repeatedly cited ChatGPT and other AI tools to support your research, presenting their outputs as “peer reviews” and implying they offer independent validation of your conclusions. That is a fundamental misrepresentation of what AI systems do.

ChatGPT is a language model—not a scholar, historian, or theologian. It does not verify truth; it generates language based on the prompts and data it receives. If you provide affirming prompts, it can mirror support. If you provide critical prompts, it may echo critique. But none of that constitutes scholarly evaluation or proof of historical claims.

Using AI to produce affirming summaries and then marketing them as neutral peer-reviewed endorsements is misleading to your audience. It gives an impression of objectivity where none exists. This is not how critical inquiry, historical analysis, or theological discourse work.

Worse, when faced with legitimate criticism—including critiques of your use of AI—you’ve responded not with transparent rebuttals or evidence-based counterarguments, but with accusations, threats, and vague claims of legal action. These are not the actions of a scholar seeking truth. They are the tactics of someone trying to silence dissent.

If your conclusions about Ophir, the Garden of Eden, or other biblical topics are valid, they should be able to withstand open academic scrutiny—not just be repeated by AI at your request, and certainly not protected through intimidation.

As an AI language model, I do not take sides or hold personal opinions. But I do encourage users to engage in responsible use of this technology—honestly, transparently, and without using AI as a weapon to inflate claims or attack critics.

If your mission is truth, then let truth be tested freely.

The God Culture: Timothy Jay Schwab's Footnote Fetish

Even after learning the truth of a matter Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Culture cannot bring himself to deal with it. Case in point is what he has to say about Barbosa's book noting that the Lequios Islands are 175 leagues to the east of China. That information is something Tim found in a footnote to a translation of Barbosa's book. He wrote an article about it claiming it changes everything. On closer inspection I myself found the text to which the footnote referred and noted that it is a singular variant within a multitude of editions of Barbosa's book. It is only found in an older Spanish translation and not in any original Portuguese text.

Tim has a new video about the 175 leagues and he completely ignores that fact. 

175 Leagues to Truth: The Real Lequios Was Never Ryukyu. Return of the Lequios Part 2

Description: What if the real Lequios wasn’t Ryukyu… but Luzon all along? In this eye-opening deep dive, we expose the long-buried truth behind Duarte Barbosa’s “175 leagues to the east”—a footnote that leads straight to the Philippines. 

0:16  Today, we uncover a truth footnoted into silence. A mystery erased by empire. 

18:58 The truth was never buried. It was footnoted.

Tim does show the footnote very briefly at 18:58. 

It's easy to miss because the image is not static, Tim does not highlight it, and the version he is using is quite odd. It's not a PDF of the book. Here is a proper screenshot of this footnote from a PDF.

https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.189299/page/n257/mode/2up

The rest of the video is mostly AI slop with images that have nothing do with the topic. This is not only bad research it's a steep decline in the quality of Tim's videos which used to be meticulously put together with many supporting documents and references. This video has none of that. In fact, all of his most recent videos are nothing but AI slop. It seems Tim has lost his mojo. 

As I mentioned above, I wrote a lengthy article about this footnote and did the work Tim was too lazy to do. The footnote Tim cites is a reference to an existing Spanish text. Here is Lord Stanley's translation of the section on the Lequeos from the Spanish version.

https://archive.org/details/descriptionofcoa00barbrich/page/206/mode/2up

LEQUEOS.

Opposite this country of China there are many islands in the sea, and beyond them at a hundred and seventy-five leagues to the east there is one very large which they say is the mainland, from whence there come each year to Malaca three or four ships like those of the Chinese, of white people whom they describe as great and wealthy merchants. They bring much gold in bars, silver, silk and many very rich silk stuffs, much very good wheat, beautiful porcelain and other merchandise. And they ship pepper and other things which they carry away. These islands are called Lequeos, the people of Malaca say that they are better men, and greater and wealthier merchants, and better dressed and adorned, and more honourable than the Chinese. There is not much information about these people up to the present time, because they have not come to India since the King of Portugal possesses it.

Oh, look. It's not a marginal annotation. "175 leagues to the east" is embedded in the text. Tim is wrong again. What a shock. 

Lord Stanley has a note on this passage regarding the identity of the Lequeos. 

The Liu Kiu Islands. Lequio major and minor, Y Fermosa, and Reix magas, form a group in Ortelius : in Homannus Formosa is in its proper place, and the group is called Lequeyo or Riukiu Islands.

I know Tim reads this blog which means he knows about Stanley's English translation and the Spanish translation which both contain the 175 leagues distance. So, why did Tim not use it? Why did he bring up a footnote? It's because he is attempting to prove the Lequios Islands are the Philippines and he needs the conspiratorial narrative that the true location of the Lequios Islands were covered up. But it hasn't been covered up. It hasn't been "footnoted." Stanley's translation and the Spanish translation are available to people who are able to to conduct real research. I found both of those texts with no trouble. Tim's omission of Stanley's text in favor of a footnote shows he is not interested in actual history but in pushing his conspiratorial narrative which is completely false as I have proven in many articles on this blog. 

This is not the first time Tim has declined to use primary sources in his books, articles, and videos. Tim regularly uses news reports, summaries, editorials, and Wikipedia as proofs for his claims. It is safe to say Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Culture has a footnote fetish. 

The God Culture: 100 Lies About the Philippines: Lie #47: Guimaras is a Hebrew Word

Welcome back to 100 lies The God Culture teaches about the Philippines. Today's lie concerns Timothy Jay Schwab's claim Guimaras Island is a Hebrew place-name. As we shall see that is another lie.

This claim can be found on page 192 of Tim's book The Search for King Solomon's Treasure. 

Guimaras:

Hebrew: goyim: גוים: nation, people. [236]

Hebrew: aras: ארש: betrothed, to engage for matrimony. [237] 

Our Interpretation: Betrothed Nation

One of the odd things with this word is “aras” is also the Filipino designation of the coins which are gifted as a part of the traditional Filipino wedding ceremony. A direct Hebrew tie to the Filipino languages. Who is the betrothed nation? The Bride of Messiah perhaps?

The source for this etymology can be found on page 190 of Tim's sourcebook.

There are plenty of things wrong here. 

First of all Strongs' H1471 is GOY, not GOYIM. Goyim is the plural of goy which would mean nations and not nation.

Second of all this word is used almost exclusively to describe non-Hebrew, specifically non-Israelite, nations. 

https://www.blueletterbible.org/lexicon/h1471/kjv/wlc/0-1/ 

1. usually of non-Hebrew people

Why would Hebrews name their island after the word used for referring to heathen nations? That makes no sense whatsoever. 

The second word is Strong's H781.

https://www.blueletterbible.org/lexicon/h781/kjv/wlc/0-1/

Tim says this word directly links to "the coins which are gifted as a part of the traditional Filipino wedding ceremony." Thus it is a link between Filipino languages and Hebrew. That is completely wrong. The coins given at a traditional CATHOLIC wedding are called las arras which is Spanish for earnest money.

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

Las arras, or las arras matrimoniales (English: arrhae, wedding tokens, or unity coins) are wedding paraphernalia used in Christian wedding ceremonies in Spain, Latin American countries, and the Philippines. The tradition is also followed, with varying names and customs, in other countries and communities bearing degrees of Hispanic influence.

The word arras is Spanish, meaning "earnest money" (arrhae, plural of arrha), "bride price", or "bride wealth". The custom of using coins in weddings can be traced to a number of places, including Spain and Rome.

These coins are a Spanish tradition imported to the Philippines and Latin America. There is nothing Hebrew about las arras. 

Tim sums up his etymology by writing Guimaras means betrothed nation which is a reference to the Bride of Messiah. But no nation is the Bride of Christ. It is only the Church, those united to Christ, who are the Bride of Christ. Tim's conclusion is theologically unsound. 

In this brief etymology Tim offers no competing solution as to how Guimaras got its name. That is kind of odd seeing as he takes delight in mocking people who hold different views. According to Filipino folklore Guimaras is named after a princess and her slave lover. 

https://lifestyle.inquirer.net/355365/in-guimaras-a-canopy-of-trees-beach-coves-and-mangoes-galore/

How did Guimaras get its name? The story is that the princess Guima fell in love with a slave, Aras. This angered the king, and so the lovers escaped, but perished in a storm. These days as the wind from the sea blows stronger around the island, you will hear the voice of the king, now guilt-stricken, calling out to his beautiful daughter and her lowborn but handsome lover: “Guima… Aras!”

It is not clear as to the origin of this folktale but it appears everywhere when searching for how Guimaras got its name. Tim has ignored it completely. 

The fact is Tim's etymology is bad, his theology is bad, and he hasn't proven a thing. Instead he asserts that Guimaras is a Hebrew compound word without even addressing the folktale of Princess Guima and the slave Aras. That Guimaras is a Hebrew word is one more lie taught about the Philippines by Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Culture. 

The God Culture: A Brief Illustrated History of The God Culture

Once upon a time there was a man from Maryland named Timothy Jay Schwab. He was professionally trained in media to be a publisher and editor. Eventually Tim found a well paying job with a magazine in Florida. 

Life was going good for Tim but it got even better when he met a woman named Anna. Eventually they got married. 

Anna was born and raised in the Philippines. She moved to the USA at the age of 19. Timothy and his wife made frequent visits to her home country. 

By chance Timothy watched a video on YouTube that had a new and shocking premise: the Philippines might actually be the Biblical land of Ophir. It left Tim with a lot of questions.

So, he decided to find out for himself.  He had to know for certain if the Philippines was indeed and beyond all doubt the Biblical land of Ophir. He set to work studying the issue. First he read every passage about Ophir in the Bible. 

Then he scoured the internet looking for anything he could find to help prove this fascinating new theory. That is when he stumbled upon the website ancientphilippines.blogspot.com. 

Tim was amazed at all the information on that website. It was a goldmine proving to his mind that the Philippines was indeed Ophir, the land of gold. 

Tim quickly set to work. Being trained in media and publishing Tim knew how to make a convincing presentation. In no time at all he had created several videos ready for YouTube. He called the series: Solomon's Gold. 

The series was an instant success amongst Filipino netizens and Tim's YouTube channel, The God Culture, quickly gained a following. 

Soon Tim was flying to the Philippines to put on conferences throughout the country which attracted many attendees. Suddenly this magazine publisher was being touted as a Bible scholar and expert historian who had uncovered the previously hidden sacred history of the Philippines. 

Even though Tim was sure of his teachings he always told his audience to prove all things including himself. 

Then one day out of the blue Tim was blindsided. Someone had dared to take up that challenge. Someone had dared to not only watch Tim's videos and check all the references but, worst of all, someone had dared to disagree with Tim's conclusions. 

"Yellowtard! Communist! Agitator! Jesuit!", yelled Tim at this person contradicting and exposing him him. 

But that didn't stop Tim. He continued to make videos and gather followers. He even published a book titled "The Search for King Solomon's Treasure." It was an instant success.

That also did not stop the one and only person following Tim's advice to prove all things. He gave the book a bad review.

"Fake review!," yelled Tim. "You didn't even buy my book! I'm going to sue you for libel and have you tossed into prison!"

Those threats did not deter the reviewer. And the negative reviews did not deter Tim. 

Today Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Culture continues to conduct conferences, publish books, create videos, and write blogs attempting to prove the Philippines is not only Ophir but also Tarshish, Havilah, Sheba, Seba, the land of the Lost Tribes of Israel, and The Garden of Eden. 

Nothing can stop him. Not even the truth. 

The God Culture: Was There A Greek Colony In The Philippines Or Not?

Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Culture is all over the place. The man cannot keep his theories straight. In a new video Tim claims Pliny the Elder places Chryse, the land of gold, in the Philippines. That is totally wrong but what concerns us here is the comment section of that video. 

🌏 Pliny the Elder’s Lost Map to the Philippines: The Real Chryse and Argyre Exposed (77 A.D.)

@TheVineOfChristLives: I wish. Until Roman or Greco-Roman materials pop up in some dig in the Philippines, I can’t be convinced of the correlation.

@TheGodCulture: When we handcuff thought, things tend to fail. Start with your narrative which is not found in any text. Chryse was not a Roman nor Greek society as they just went there for gold, and the thinking the Spanish would not obliterate such record when the written history recorded to exist is gone, you set yourself up to fail. When hundreds of maps and historical references over a 6,000-year period align and you ignore that because you are looking for archeology that was wiped out you shouldn't require, and no one is looking for, of course it fails your false test. Your test is false however, the data is not. Pliny, Mela, etc. said what they said. Where is your Roman and Greek archeology in any other area making false claims? There is none. It's like the US interview we had where after 2 hours of data, the illiterate dude came back into the conversation saying "it's a shame you couldn't find archaeology of the Garden of Eden. So, what was he looking for? Fruit? Though a smart guy, he fell for stupid unacademic thought that controls. You can do better. Yah Bless.

This commenter says he wants to believe the Greeks knew about the Philippines but there is a distinct lack of archaeological evidence to support that thesis. Tim comes in like Darth Vader saying, "I find your lack of faith disturbing." You see, the commenter has handcuffed his mind by attempting to look for archaeological evidence. Tim says all that evidence has been obliterated and remains only in ancient maps and itineraries. 

There is a reference to a US interview which seems to be Tim's appearance on the Jon Pounders show. That video is only an hour long so it could be the wrong video. The video has been deleted but you can read about it here. In that interview Tim could not provide archaeological proof for the Philippines being the Garden of Eden except for the existence of untapped gold deposits.

52:26 Have you found any like, uh, archaeological evidence or anything that would suggest or would add to this, um, idea of the Garden of Eden being the Philippines? Have you seen any any finds or anything that just kind of suggests that it's possible?

Um, more, more of it being the land of gold which is everywhere. There's gold deposits all over, uh, not on every island of the 7000 but all over the archipelago and a massive vein, uh, running through throughout.

Schwab substitutes actual evidence with speculative interpretations of resources, adding to the pattern of his unsubstantiated claims.

Tim says "Chryse was not a Roman nor Greek society as they just went there for gold" asserting that this means no archaeology would exist, and any that did was wiped out by the Spanish. This is a 180° turn from what Tim has said in the past. 

Did The Ancients Sail Around Africa? Bible Evidence. Solomon's Gold Series 16A

32:11 So, here we have history, yes history, that in 800 BC the ships of Tarshish, the Greek ships yes from the Greek colony over in the Philippines, were able to show up in Joppa Israel on the Mediterranean. How about that? There was no Suez Canal yet and the Red Sea port was out of commission. They circumnavigated Africa it was the only option and it's documented right here in 800 BC.

In his video series about Greeks circumnavigating Africa to trade with the Philippines Tim says there was a Greek colony in the Philippines. A colony is by definition a society. Why is Tim now denying the existence of a Greek colony in the the Philippines? In his book The Search for King Solomon's Treasure Tim says the Greeks sailed to the Philippines to trade for 650 years.

The Greeks traded with the Philippines for gold and silver from roughly around 800-150 B.C. and Mela retained this from the “olden writers” of Greece. This further affirms the claim that the Philippines was mining gold in 1000 B.C. as the Encyclopedic Dictionary of Archaeology alludes and author, researcher and historian Paul Kekai Manansala, author Scott Walker, Wikipedia and others stake. [10] The Greeks were merely continuing the Phoenician routes of Solomon’s navy. One cannot ignore the origin of the Greek language and marine acumen being Phoenicia who were Solomon’s navy.

The Search for King Solomon's Treasure, pg. 43

Then he says it was customary on such long voyages to purchase land and plant crops as well as cut timber and mine to prepare for the long return voyage.

King Solomon built many ships, a navy or fleet of likely 50. Based on Phoenician merchant ships of that time, they were large with at least two rows of rowers carrying 450 tons of cargo and travelling at 6 miles per hour. Let us understand a little context about the habits of these Phoenician Merchant Ships and we can calculate this journey based on these capabilities. The Phoenician merchants were very conservative which is why they were the best in their era. They did not wreck often because they hugged the coasts and only sailed in the daytime avoiding obstacles hard to see at night.

“The navigation of the Phoenicians, in early times, was no doubt cautious and timid. So far from venturing out of sight of land, they usually hugged the coast, ready at any moment, if the sea or sky threatened, to change their course and steer directly for the shore. On a shelving coast they were not at all afraid to run their ships aground, since, like the Greek vessels, they could be easily pulled up out of reach of the waves, and again pulled down and launched, when the storm was over and the sea calm once more. At first they sailed, we may be sure, only in the daytime, casting anchor at nightfall, or else dragging their ships up upon the beach, and so awaiting the dawn. But after a time they grew more bold.”

–George Rawlinson [112]

In addition, on extremely long explorations in this era, it was customary to purchase land upon arrival in order to plant one’s own crops for the return trip. Along with trading, timbering, mining and other preparations for the return, we have calculated in one year for this. 

The Search for King Solomon's Treasure, pgs. 130-131

While that section is about the Phoenician method of sailing Tim is adamant the Greeks inherited their  shipping routes. Are we to suppose that the Greeks did not also inherit the Phoenician methods of purchasing "land upon arrival in order to plant one’s own crops for the return trip?" If the Phoenicians and Greeks were trading with the Philippines in such a manner for centuries, it is inconceivable they left no trace. Yet, while he mentions gold production in India, not even Herodotus discusses a trade route circumnavigating Africa to the Far East.

While Tim denies physical artifacts such as weapons or pottery were left behind by the Greeks, or destroyed by the Spanish, he does not totally deny any trace of a Greek presence in the Philippines. There are several passages in Tim's book where he claims Filipino place names are actually Greek. Here is just one passage. 

Not only did the Hebrews of Ophir and brothers migrate to the Philippines but also the Greek Tarshish supplied the ships for their journey. We find references to him on Mindanao especially but none more fascinating than the Greek loan word Apo.

Most point to Apo as a Greek loan word not originating in the Philippine languages. How does Greek enter the Philippines in use especially in naming it's highest mountain and used in language Grandparent/elder or grandchild? Tarshish left his family migrating far away from his elders and likely some of his grandchildren. It makes sense. 

Part of Tim's underlying myth the Philippines is Ophir and Sheba is that Tarshish provided them ships to sail to the Philippines. Tarshish's reward was Mindanao. Therefore Mindanao is Greek.

Therefore, Ophir and Sheba needed ships and Tarshish provided them. His payment for this endeavor carrying them back to their homeland would be to inherit a piece of that land logically as he certainly did according to scripture in order to have land in that region especially since Tarshish’s territory is no where near there otherwise but the Greek isles. David mentions ships and kings of Tarshish two times before Solomon’s reign before his navy even began construction (Ps. 48:7, 72:10). Both are prophesies that Tarshish will bring gifts to Messiah with Ophir and Sheba and it’s ships destroyed.

Rome did not benefit from this knowledge so easily as this was established by Israel with Phoenicia managing the route. Greece inherited this and, as they represent Tarshish’s family. That makes sense.

Tarshish is Mindanao, Philippines as it is mapped as the Greek land of silver, Argyre (The Hebrew Tarshish) especially on the 1492 Portuguese globe of Behaim just South of Luzon/Chryse. Mindanao also tests as the only place in the Philippines which fully aligns with Tarshish in resources especially due to tin.

All of this points to a Greek society or colony which Tim is now denying ever existed. Where is the evidence of that Greek colony? According to Tim it lies in the local Filipino languages at least. If that is the case then this points directly to a sustained presence, potentially a settlement, or at least a highly integrated and long-term interaction that would absolutely constitute a "society" or leave archaeological traces.

However the reality is it doesn't exist in any shape or form. There are no artifacts, there are no writings, there is nothing to support that claim. Maybe that's why Tim has changed his theory. Tim dumps all over the idea that one should be looking for archaeological evidence to prove such an extraordinary claim.

When hundreds of maps and historical references over a 6,000-year period align and you ignore that because you are looking for archeology that was wiped out you shouldn't require, and no one is looking for, of course it fails your false test. Your test is false however, the data is not.

If there was no Greek society or colony in the Philippines then what exactly was wiped out by the Spanish? You can’t destroy something that didn’t exist. If there was an ancient Greek colony in the Philippines there should be evidence of its existence. From written records to artifacts, the theory demands proof Tim cannot provide. While Tim says archaeological evidence does not exist he contradicts himself by asserting linguistic evidence exists. Positing there was a Greek colony in the Philippines without proof and then saying, we don't have proof because it has been wiped out, is illogical reasoning. One cannot make a positive affirmation about an ancient Greek society existing in the Philippines in the absence of evidence. It's an admission Tim has no proof for his claims. As Carl Sagan wrote:

Your inability to invalidate my hypothesis is not at all the same thing as proving it true. Claims that cannot be tested, assertions immune to disproof are veridically worthless, whatever value they may have in inspiring us or in exciting our sense of wonder. What I'm asking you to do comes down to believing, in the absence of evidence, on my say-so.

Every single one of Tim's theories regarding the Philippines is unfalsifiable. There is simply no hard, tangible evidence to validate his claims.

Tim will say the evidence is in the maps but he continues to misinterpret Pliny, Pomponius Mela, and every other historian and map he comes across. No Greek or Roman travelogue or map refers to the Philippines. I have written about this before. It's a wonder Tim didn't mention the "Greek armor" found in Mindanao. 

Tim's claim the Greek history of the Philippines was completely wiped out does not hold up. In Vietnam evidence has been found of a Roman presence. 

Óc Eo (Vietnamese) is an archaeological site in modern-day Óc Eo commune of Thoại Sơn District in An Giang Province of southern Vietnam. Located in the Mekong Delta, Óc Eo was a busy port of the kingdom of Funan between the 2nd century BC and 12th century AD and it may have been the port known to the Romans as Cattigara.

The remains found at Óc Eo include pottery, tools, jewelry, casts for making jewelry, coins, and religious statues. Among the finds are gold jewellery imitating coins from the Roman Empire of the Antonine period. Roman golden medallions from the reign of Antoninus Pius, and possibly his successor Marcus Aurelius, have been discovered at Óc Eo, which was near Chinese-controlled Jiaozhou and the region where Chinese historical texts claim the Romans first landed before venturing further into China to conduct diplomacy in 166. Many of the remains have been collected and are on exhibition in Museum of Vietnamese History in Ho Chi Minh City.

Funan was part of the region of Southeast Asia referred to in ancient Indian texts as Suvarnabhumi, and may have been the part to which the term was first applied.

How did this evidence of a Roman presence in Vietnam survive while every shred of evidence of a Greco-Roman presence in the Philippines was wiped out?

Óc Eo has something the Philippines does not, actual archeological evidence of the presence of Romans.  How about that? Archeological evidence is something which Timothy Jay Schwab's theory about the Philippines being Ophir, Tarshish, The Garden of Eden, Sheba, Seba, Havilah, Antilia, and Cattigara is sorely lacking.

Tim's theory is so ridiculous that not even he can keep up with it. Either there was a Greek colony in the Philippines or there wasn't. Now Tim is saying such a colony never existed. Yet, the assumptions lying behind the claims in his book, the existence of Greek loan words in local Filipino languages and Tarshish inheriting Mindanao, contradict him. Most damning of all is his claim Greeks were trading with the Philippines from 800 - 150 B.C. That is 650 years of interaction and yet there is no archaeological evidence while any alleged linguistic evidence is so paltry, subjective, and an etymological fallacy based on superficial resemblance as to be nonexistent. 650 years of history doesn't simply disappear. 

Tim might say it's a case of evolving research but how is the research which compelled him to assert there was a Greek colony in the Philippines now found to be lacking? If Tim categorically affirms there was no Greek colony or society in the Philippines he will have to fundamentally re-write his book. It's just more proof that pseudo-history is the milieu of Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Culture. 

The God Culture: Jesus is Evil

Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Cultre is not a Christian. He has made that very clear. But now he has gone a step further by agreeing Jesus is evil. 

Lost Isles of Gold LIVE Series - Part 13: End Times Prophecy of the Ophir Philippines

@rosecalero7369 Jesus is evil. Christ is evil. Messiah is not Jesus. It’s the God of Catholic Church and Christianity. Ophir is a Hebrew country.

@TheGodCulture Yah Bless.

There is no way to put a positive spin on that. A commenter says Jesus is evil and is the God of Christianity. Instead of rebuking this person Tim says Yah Bless indicating he agrees Jesus is evil. 

That is blasphemy of the highest caliber. The future is looking eternally hot and fiery for Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Culture.
