Calvinism is antithetical to Christology

Sure he teaches election. He covers predestination. His teaching on Christology is rich and worthy of study material, as witnessed to all the pastors who ordered Thieme's lessons to study from.

He taught us a theological term that he stuck to masterfully. "Isagogics." Which is the discipline of researching and study for presenting the meaning of words and perspective at the time of writing. He considered it a must if you are going to teach the Bible correctly. To do so he studied ancient manuscripts in the original languages.

Well... he became way too busy to finish his doctorate when his ministry boomed in demand, with him teaching six nights a week, and on some days teaching twice. While his unfinished thesis for his doctorate was sitting in limbo, one of his students by the name of Hal Lindsay was given access to looking over the thesis....

The result of Hal's study? "The Late Great Planet Earth," was publish.

Thieme used to jokingly call him Harold, and made mention that Hal took some liberties with what he wrote.
Other than that. That book ended up on the dresser of Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin, found when he died.

Another point; Thieme was superb in analyzing military passages in the Bible that almost all pastors are not qualified to explain....

I can also tell you what a Marine recruiter told me after listening to Thieme's teaching on the Doctrine of War.
"I never heard anything like this before!" Not to mention, I found out he had all the branches in his building come
to his office to have them listen to the lessons! This not your normal level teachings. It requires discipline and concentration.

Don't be shy. Order some messages and decide for yourself.

I would not be able to do justice to his in depth in teaching on the subjects you asked about.
You have nothing to lose. No money will be asked for...

They do not ask for money and they will guard you privacy which is a foundation of their policy making.

In Christ..... grace and peace

I appreciate you sharing that with us brother.

The Christology of life and regeneration.

The bible is clear that life is in Christ.

1 John 5:11–12 (NASB 2020) — 11 And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12 The one who has the Son has the life; the one who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.

John 5:40 (NASB 2020) — 40 and yet you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life.

Ephesians 1:3 (NASB 2020) — 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

John 6:53 (NASB 2020) — 53 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves.

Any theology which posit life or regeneration outside of or previous to a relationship with Christ is Christologically deficient.

Amen as we know from scripture faith precedes life.

Yes

That belief has caused quite a stir on Carm.

Calvinism is antithetical to Christology

Nah - "Calvinism" is nothing but "Just Another" Theological systematic paradigm, which has NOTHING TO DO with getting people Born again.

Being Born again is a PERSONAL exchange between the person, and God by way of the Holy Spirit. When they're Convicted of SIN by the Holy Spirit, A person can call upon God for salvation, with ABSOLUTELY NO KNOWLEDGE of ANY "Systematic" whatsoever.

The fun starts when they "Take His yoke upon them", and start getting propagandized by this or that Denominational religious system. People are even born again in the Roman Catholic, or JW messes.

But IF they read their Bible, and find out what it says, the Holy Spirit can and will bring 'em to the truth, just like Jesus promised He would.

The Holy Spirit will bring them to the truth of who exactly is Jesus Christ. That's exactly what I mean when I mention the term "Christology".
