Nice judgment. I don’t see any need for it.

I don’t find him to be heretical, but I have found his studies to provide considerable insight, building upon many sound doctrines throughout Church History, but always through faith in Christ.

There is quite a bit of insight available from these studies, but like always, only through faith in Christ.

God Bless.

R B Thieme Jr is a monster.

Abortion

Thieme taught that there is no human soul in a fetus and that it doesn't become a human life until the point of birth (see: The Origin of Human Life); in an interview with Joe Wall, he categorically denied that he taught abortion is acceptable.[2] Thieme taught that the fetus has biological life, including reflex motility and unconscious brain activity, and what he terms the "format soul", analogous to a formatted but blank computer disk. Thieme indicated that during fetal development, the brain is prepared to receive a human soul but does not actually receive one and become a human person until God breathes the "spark of life" (neshemah) into the body at human birth.

Thieme called Roe v. Wade "one of the wisest and most brilliant decisions that the Supreme Court has made in many, many, many years" and said that "abortion is a decision between a patient and her doctor."[12]

Whether you want me to call him a heretic or false teacher, it means the same to me. We are commanded to judge and to warn. How much false doctrine is acceptable? It is not enough to believe in Jesus if that Jesus or Christ is not the Christ that is proclaimed in Scripture and traditional Christianity. Can anything good come from a poison well? I have found his teachings to be a propagation of Nestorianism. There are so many things wrong with his teachings that it is hard to know where to start. Anyone that has actually studied Scriptures and church history can easily refute him. It is only the uneducated in Christianity who do not know the false prophets from true ones. The irony of his work on degeneracy is that he denies original sin, which fits his Nestorian apostasy.
