To Virg,
I doubt that this is really your 1st visit to this forum, but if it is your 1st visit then your "innocent" "positive" lack of knowledge of Thieme's errors is harmful to yourself and others.
Positive Assessment? That is an insult. As if we have only done a "negative" assessment. No. You see here? What we do is we look at the the very sad facts of Thieme's deceitful handling of the Word. What we have done here and are still doing here is an objective assessment. (Have people gotten upset because they were misled? Yes they have. They have a right to. This is thier forum to get upset in.)
What discernment? Can you be critical of a false positive? What I mean is can you resist and see what is wrong in what you feel is a positive view? From what I have heard you say so far you may not care to. Just because something "feels" positive, doesn't mean it is the Truth. The Truth is often very harsh. Dancing and skipping around in a fairy outfit feeling positive towards what Thieme says and hiding in the closet from the truth of your humanity and your identity is not Christianity - Then? sinning and feeling very negative then positive then negative then positive then negative then positive then negative then positive then negative then positive then negative - is a chaotic oscillation into insanity. Christianity is not being a magnet which oscillates between "positive" view and "negative" view of what Thieme said, that's mental illness. You can "feel" "positive" towards what Thieme says all day, but you are not facing GOD-given reality.
Have you ever read Dr. Wall, Dr. Custer, Dr. Chafer, Dr. Walvoord, Dr. Waite, or Dr. Scofield etc...? Have you ever actually read what the "detractors" have said? You would learn something.
Yep Berachah's propaganda manuals are free, so is the associated mental illness.
(I would also like to see a list of the people who contributed to Berachah)
Virg, what I see is more generalized praise of Thieme typical of Thieme magnets and an attempt to harass and disrupt people trying to recover from Thieme's abuse. If you are just here to praise Thieme (and gloss-over Thieme's groce errors as minor), then you are in the wrong forum. There are plenty of forums that just praise Thieme and worship the words of Thieme in the Thieme temple, but this is not one of those forums. So respect our privacy and move on.
If you are here to learn then, here's Dr. Wall's doctoral dissertation from Dallas Theological Seminary for starters. I suggest reading the critiques at the end of each chapter. [

We are already doing an objective assessment with discernment. It's right here. [
