Thieme S Bible Doctrine Dictionary

Bible doctrine is the absolute truth from God that reveals His character, His standards, and His infinitely superior wisdom. For fifty-three years, Pastor R. B. Thieme, Jr., dedicated his life to teaching Bible doctrine. He sought to clarify God’s Word through innovative vocabulary, categorical outlines, and practical illustrations, so that any believer could comprehend the majestic details of God’s plan. Now, drawn from Thieme’s personal notes and sermons, Thieme’s Bible Doctrine Dictionary presents over eight hundred terms and related doctrines. Biblical subjects—ranging from the eternal Trinity to the fall and salvation of man to the Christian way of life—are precisely defined, explained, and cross-referenced.

God the Holy Spirit vs. The Sin Nature is a ceaseless inner conflict. Each Christian by his own volition determines who controls his life at any given moment. The sin nature is inherent at birth. As long as we live we retain this genetic distorter of our lives, with the result that we cannot fulfill the plan of God. Yet God’s marvelous plan can be fulfilled. Only the invisible ministry of God the Holy Spirit can execute the Christian way of life. This book tells the dramatic story of Elijah in 1 Kings 19. After a powerful spiritual victory, he flees in terror because of an empty threat against his life. The spiritual hero becomes totally ineffective. This Old Testament prophet vividly illustrates a principle that applies to every New Testament believer. There is a vast difference between living under the control of the sin nature and leading a life of spiritual dynamics under the control of the Holy Spirit.

Heathenism answers the questions, "What about those who have never heard the good news of salvation? What about primitive peoples who live far beyond the frontiers of civilization and speak in obscure languages? What about those in any civilization or culture who have never had the chance to hear the Gospel?" God never overlooks the positive volition of anyone. He provides abundant evidence by which every individual can become aware of His existence. He overcomes every obstacle to disseminate the Gospel to those who seek Him. No one is hidden from His grace. His divine attributes guarantee the provision of Gospel information "even to the remotest part of the earth."
