Is The God Culture research transparent and honest?

Transparency in Research:

At The God Culture, we believe in transparency. Unlike many, we have openly shared our research from the beginning, even in our YouTube videos. To provide complete clarity, we have published a comprehensive 300-page Sourcebook that details the sources used in our publications, The Search for King Solomon's Treasure and Ophir Philippines Coffee Table Book.

We encourage readers to consult the Sourcebook alongside our main texts for a thorough understanding of our research foundation. In total, The God Culture has published over 1,000 pages of in-depth research on this topic.

Regarding Online Attacks:

Please note that defamatory and harassing attack blogs employing propaganda do not represent the extensive collection of credible data that underpins The God Culture's research. All our published books include comprehensive bibliographies for verification. One claiming we do not even read these sources, and did not even try to prove, when we quote and explain them in a massive number of pages, is clearly not one representing the truth. The fact they have to explain why one should not read the position, already tells one much about their intentions, as they have no adherence to the truth. That is the behavior of weak-minded individuals.

Did The God Culture "Dishonestly Edit Videos"?

Transparency and Accuracy in Our Video Content

It has come to our attention that questions may arise regarding updates to a small number of videos (a few out of over 100 in a particular series). These updates were necessary to correct instances where source text blocks were initially copied without alteration. We typically provide corrections in our YouTube video descriptions.

In our ongoing commitment to transparency and accuracy, The God Culture proactively addressed these minor issues by deleting the affected videos and replacing them with corrected versions. These updated videos were clearly marked as such and began with a fresh view count, demonstrating our dedication to providing accurate information, even if it means restarting viewership. This level of transparency is not standard practice on YouTube, but above such benchmark.

Across our extensive library of over 700 YouTube videos, we prioritize accuracy. Our commitment to thorough research is further evidenced by the detailed bibliographies accompanying our publications (such as the 16-page bibliography in The Search for King Solomon's Treasure) and our groundbreaking 300-page Sourcebook, which offers unparalleled transparency into our research materials – a practice rarely matched in the publishing world.

The exceptional nature of this transparency is underscored by Dr. Michael Heiser's public statement that providing copies of all original sources is not customary, often due to copyright limitations. Our decision to offer our Sourcebook electronically and for free showcases our deep commitment to open research, exceeding the standards of many in the field.

Does Timothy Schwab have a Missionary Visa?

This is one of the most laughable shreds of dishonest rhetoric online in misinformation. Imagine continuing with a long-winded blog that is a complete lie in basis, and once exposed, leaving that trash on the internet for people to stumble upon.

Addressing Misinformation

     Timothy Jay Schwab is a permanent, legal resident of the Philippines, requiring no temporary visa of any kind, especially not a “missionary visa.” He was never a missionary, nor would such a visa apply to him, as it is exclusively designated for missions organizations filing on behalf of their representatives. When confronted with this baseless claim, both legal experts and the Bureau of Immigration dismissed it outright as an ignorant and defamatory fabrication.

For those who may come across a certain blog filled with misinformation and baseless attacks, the truth speaks for itself—and history will remember who stood on solid ground.

Such answers and determinations are made by the Bureau of Immigration, not a fake blogger attempting defamatory attacks in laughable illiteracy. Timothy possesses a Permanent Resident Visa (PRV). 

No Credible Evidence Supports Claims of "100 Lies" in Our Research

The claim that The God Culture's videos on Ophir and the Garden of Eden contain "100 Lies" is simply unfounded.

Our approach to this research is marked by its thoroughness and the substantial evidence we have compiled to support our conclusions, well noted by many including authors, US Talk Shows, PhD's, Bible scholars, pastors, and more. We present a detailed and interconnected case that remains robust even if individual references are questioned. The strength of our position lies in the comprehensive body of evidence, which must be engaged with in its entirety.

The absence of a credible counter-position or a substantive theory from those who seek to discredit our work, even after five years of sustained attacks, speaks volumes. Instead, the continued reliance on defamatory propaganda and embellishments suggests an inability to genuinely challenge our conclusions. These tactics, potentially crossing into illegal behavior, serve only to highlight the lack of any real evidence against our extensively researched position.

Regarding Claims of Being "Anti-Trinitarian"

The assertion that The God Culture is "Anti-Trinitarian" is a misrepresentation of our teachings. We clearly articulate the distinct roles of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in our content.

The term "Trinity" itself is the subject of ongoing academic discussion, with the word not appearing in the Hebrew Bible or the King James Version, as fact. A blogger's apparent lack of awareness of this scholarly debate seems to fuel sensationalized propaganda and defamation. The use of such a loaded and inaccurate title is clearly intended to attract attention through false accusations.

While we acknowledge the academic discussion surrounding the term "Trinity" and the fact that it is not a direct biblical word, The God Culture unequivocally recognizes and teaches the roles of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We do not have videos specifically dedicated to the "Trinity" doctrine. This accusation appears to be a baseless attempt to generate controversy through the use of trigger words.

Regarding the Misnomer "The God Culture Bible"

The God Culture has not published a Bible. Our research into the Dead Sea Scrolls has led to the publication of texts within The Levite Bible Series, based on our evidence that the Sons of Zadok resided in Qumran and were responsible for curating scripture there. This evidence, which has received 5 out of 5 positive AI peer reviews confirming its credibility and soundness [Review the 5 out of 5 Positive AI Peer Reviews of this Research], includes:

1. The Book of Jubilees

2. The First Book of Enoch

3. 2nd Esdras with 1st Esdras

4. Apocrypha (1611 KJV list) in 2 Volumes

As our research progresses through the Qumran texts, utilizing a comprehensive Torah Test for each, we intend to compile these findings into a publication or series that reflects how the Temple Priests preserved the Old Testament. This may include Hebrew corrections uncovered through our research. However, this compilation will not be titled "The God Culture Bible," nor is such a title under consideration or in any of our releases. This term appears to be another fabrication from a blogger known for misrepresenting information.

❌ Unauthorized and Defamatory Biography Circulating

There have been reports of an unauthorized “biography” of Timothy Schwab circulating—written by the same individual behind ongoing defamatory content and harassment. To be clear: no permission was given for such a publication, and it does not reflect accurate or complete information.

The so-called biography omits years of professional and ministry experience, including Timothy’s ordination at the age of 21 and extensive work in leadership and outreach. Instead, it cherry-picks a narrow two-year window of his career, attempting to demean Timothy's achieving the position of Publisher with the company who published the #1 regional magazine in the world at the time, and presents it in a misleading and inaccurate manner—clearly intended to defame.

It is unfortunate that someone would attempt to rewrite another person’s life story without their consent or factual basis. While this individual continues to show disregard for publishing ethics and legal standards, we trust that the appropriate authorities will address these violations in due time. This blogger exhibits an insanity found in few.

Did Ancient Filipinos Engage in Circumnavigational Trade?

Our videos present extensive evidence indicating that the Ships of Tarshish originated from the Philippines, as documented in several key historical and biblical accounts:

1. 850 B.C. (Jonah): The narrative of Jonah arriving at the port of Joppa, Israel, aligns with this timeframe. By understanding Jonah's intended journey towards the Orient, we can infer his departure point was likely the Persian Gulf region, consistent with trade routes involving the Philippines.

2. 1000 B.C. (King David): King David's descriptions of gold and silver from Ophir being worn by royalty in the Middle East suggest established trade networks reaching distant lands like the Philippines.

3. Before 1700 B.C. (Job): Many scholars consider Job the oldest written book of the Bible, making its reference to the gold of Ophir from alluvial deposits particularly significant. Historically, the Philippines is the primary nation whose geography aligns with such gold sources.

This connection between biblical accounts and the Philippines is further supported by historical sources. In 43 A.D., Pomponius Mela, drawing upon earlier Greek writers, provided directions to the Philippines, identifying it as "Chryse." These "olden writers" of Greece offer further evidence of voyages to Chryse (Ophir, Philippines) that necessitated the circumnavigation of Africa. Our research covers texts from:

• 700 B.C.: Homer, Hesiod, and Aeschylus

• 600 B.C.: Herodotus and Mimnermus

• 500 B.C.: Stesichorus

• 400 B.C.: Aristophanes, Nonnus, and Tryphiodorus

• 300 B.C.: Plato and Quintus Smyrnaeus

• 200 B.C.: Orphic Hymns, Apollonius Rhodius, and Theocritus

• 100 B.C. - 1st Century: Virgil, Seneca, Flaccus, and Statius

(Sources for these references can be found in our videos and in "Garden of Eden Revealed: The Book of Maps")

The accounts of Pomponius Mela (43 A.D.), The Periplus of the Erythraean Sea (c. 50 A.D.), Pliny the Elder (77 A.D.), and Dionysius the Tourist (c. 124 A.D.) further corroborate this ancient understanding and preserve the route to the Philippines.

Attempts to discredit this evidence by arguing about the lack of intact ships from 1000 B.C. are based on a flawed premise. The absence of such archaeological finds does not negate the historical and textual evidence of seafaring. Furthermore, the biblical account of Noah building a large vessel long before this period demonstrates the early existence of shipbuilding. It is logical to conclude that the descendants of Tarshish, who inherited parts of the Greek Isles (Genesis 10), possessed the means to navigate to and from their territories.

Clearing Up Misconceptions About the "Ophir Institute"

The "Ophir Institute" was an initial idea stemming from an external group's interest in publishing The God Culture's research before we had any books. A website was created for this proposed initiative, which ultimately did not come to fruition.

Following this, we founded our own publishing company, Ophir Publishing OPC DBA The God Culture, with full legal registration in the Philippines (SEC, DTI, city, and barangay). The website intended for the "Ophir Institute" was subsequently integrated into Ophir Publishing's online presence.

It's crucial to understand that the "Ophir Institute" never became a formal organization. It was a preliminary concept absorbed by our own publishing efforts. For a period, its website was used for book sales before we consolidated all our online activities onto thegodculture.org, merging nine separate websites for enhanced functionality.

Unfortunately, a blogger has deliberately misrepresented these straightforward facts, constructing elaborate and false narratives, incapable of even reading the company name which is not Ophir Institute even. Despite the clear inaccuracies and potentially unlawful nature of these fabrications, they unfortunately remain accessible online.

Addressing Online Commentary Regarding The God Culture's Research

The God Culture is dedicated to thorough and transparent research, as reflected in our extensive publications and fully disclosed sources.

We have observed online commentary that contains inaccuracies and negative sentiments regarding our work. While we appreciate opportunities for constructive discussion and clarification, we do not endorse or engage with harassment, libel, copyright infringement, or expressions of hostility towards the Philippines or The God Culture.

We have addressed a limited number of specific misrepresentations to ensure the accuracy of public information. Due to the extensive nature of some online commentary, we will not be responding to every instance. We believe that unlawful behavior should be addressed through the appropriate legal processes.

The content and likeness of Timothy Schwab may not be used, reproduced, or published without express written permission. Unauthorized use, including defamatory or misleading representations, may be subject to civil and criminal liability under applicable laws.
