      As you probably know, he thinks it is a miracle that humans can get up and go to work amid great suffering, and so I think he would be positively astonished by your courageous struggle forward/upward (it might make him cry!). One of the things I love about him is that he is so full of wonder/awe, and his awe and wonder seems to focus on the individuals around him. Go man! You inspire me.

      Why does the average person need to be better in order that the world be better? I am pretty sure the worst people are the people in power. Why doesn't he go to them and tell them to be better? The average person wants a good life and help those around them. It is not in our nature to be evil. Go to hollywood and see evil in rare form but he is not calling them out, he is calling us out. Screw this guy I'm out.

      @BartVanLinschoten so basically back to inaction of good people allows the evil to prosper kind of thing? Yeah I see your point thanks for calling me out, I still feel attacked and think certain groups need Jesus more than others lol. It is like the way schools teach, they spend so much time helping the slow kid that the smart one never gets pushed further. Why does the one already doing better have to always suffer. The world sucks and I didn't make it that way! But countless times have I helped people young and old, how much more seriously is expected. This guy talks a game but how many people have been helped or made felt better of false teachings (about religion in my view, science he's got it down). Hey I am not here to argue with you, I am just raising a red flag, If I am wrong so be it but if I am not, well I tried.

      You should probably read his books, then watch some of his lectures. There is nothing new under the sun, but he puts ideas together in unique ways and gives powerful explanations. You need to be receptive to looking at basic concepts in new ways. One commonly discussed example involves personal responsibility. Another is facing the evil that is contained within each of us, (along with the good).
      From the last sentence in your reply, I suspect you have made up your mind, after very little review of his material. You really should look again.

      Never in my 35 years on earth have I cried so much at the words expressed by these two.
      I've never felt a connection to the world, to people as I have in the passed 6 months, and I owe it to these two and the words they have used to show me what it means to be a person, a good person.
      Listening to them has made me feel like i have been floating through life, I've always been told I'm different for my perspective on life and took those words to mean that I am just odd, now I know I'm not odd, I'm just a good person, a good thinker, compassionate... some have called me selfish for not giving enough and that my words of advice to take individual responsibility for actions is not born out of a lack of love, bit a overflow of love for helping people better themselves with the challenges they face.
      I just would like others to find the same conclusions.

      U U joy is the fruit of faith, by the grace of God, a feeling we have that moves us, spiritually, but the 7 devils, ie, passions, can quench the said spirit, and these passions, metaphysicaly speaking, are acted out in our mortal members, hence, Luther's bondage of the will, in subjection to our devilish corrupt inclinations, but when we can with a repentant and sinful heart, believe the testimony of sins forgiven in Christ's name and blood, we have the transcendent feeling of overwhelming and ecstatic joy, hence, the double edged sword of the spirit, sorrow over sin and joy over the forgiveness of sins, but my point being, the passion of the sins forgiven is felt, with in us, ... some have passed out from the intoxicating substance of Christ's love and had to say.. be still my soul, these experiences I believe are felt by true believers

      @@giselefranca3182 Who are we to say he hasn't. I have been asking this question of him for a long time, hoping to hear that he has. Will that validate more of what he says? Will it give me permission to follow his teaching? Luke 9:49 But Jesus said to him, "Do not stop him. For the one who is not against you is for you." The agape love Jesus speaks of is not easy. It comes from sacrifice, "laying down your life for your friends". Jordan is not speaking about works salvation, he is speaking of the actions that come out of the kind of love that Jesus loved us with. I don't think for a moment that he believes his works will get him into heaven. If anything, I think he believes his "works" condemn him as them condemn us all. God is full of so much grace we can't fathom it. I feebly try to have a just a little for others. Bless you Gisele. The exultation is true and right. I just feel less and less inclined to try and figure out who is saved, and more inclined rather to test what I take as teaching against the Bible text. I pray for Jordan, as he stands for truth in the heat of hate, that Jesus will be near to him.

Why no JP fan will go out on a limb to identify a single thing he has ever said that actually qualifies as insightful. If you don't mind, help me out with this one: Here is another JP nugget: 'Agreeableness negatively predicts success in the workplace.' What does he mean here? Being obstinate to your supervisor and coworkers is a path to promotion? Help me Jesus. JP would definitely do great as a TV evangelist. Those guys are the same blend of mellifluous and vacuous know-it-all banality.

      He’d either take one look at the time length, see DP, and then say he’s too tired or busy.
      Or I’d ask him to have an open mind and watch it bc it would make me happy then he’d reluctantly sit down and then look at his phone every 5 minutes.

      Jesus too, wept often. For He knew & spoke "deeply." But unlike what we've been taught (most of us, that is...) Jesus was a TRUE "man's man." You had to be, to face up to the Sanhedrin in those days!! They could "take you out" at a moments notice. Most don't realize or remember this fact about Him, or them. The Sanhedrin were "The Law, the authority" for Jews. What the "San-men" said, "goes/went" for that time in Israel. (with Roman limitations)
      JP, a "modern day" Jesus., of sorts. (he'd disagree, am sure, out of modesty) Who'd a thunk it yrs ago? Not him. Not by a long shot. Divine intervention? I wouldn't doubt it. 😇

      In the original context, Jesus isn't afraid to claim to be good, but his claim to be good is connected to his claim to be the son of God. This man was trying to address him as a good and wise teacher, but not divine. Jesus was saying, you can't have it both ways. Given his claims, as CS Lewis said, he's either "a liar, a lunatic, or Lord."

      Ethan Moon . And this is the reason Father in Heaven, sent the Comforter, to help us, when we recognize what Jordon Peterson said here, " no there is none righteous, no not one" all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. None of us can live the life of Christ, but Christ Himself, so how on earth are we ever to make it thru this world, ??? He sent His Spirit to help us, to comfort us and to overcome this world, change lives, give us hope, love beyond understanding, the abundant life, boldness to speak the truth even when your life is at stake, and most of all He promised never to leave or forsake us even when we fall short, for example , Peter's denying that he was one of His followers , and reading the shortcomings of the church in Galatia one would understand why Paul, was afraid for them. When we realize we cannot make it , without the Holy Spirit's help, no one can live the righteous life that pleases Father in Heaven, then and only then will we be moved by the Grace of God to live the abundant life that is only found in Christ Jesus because we live in Him, an thru Him.

      The righteous man recognises the unrighteousness of himself because his eye is open to see the sinful nature and opposes it, only God opens the eyes of the blind, the spirit of Christ is with this man but he recognises it not, because it is the power of his righteousness, it is the power of his sight, without it, he would not recognise these things, it is not by intellect or Instinct but by the power of God, as it is written; I will send to you a counselor and he will be with you and then within you, if a man like this recognises that this light can dwell within him and remove the sinful nature and bring him into perfection, then he would walk the path of the Christ.
      Christians today think that faith is just saying the right things and doing the right things and opposing the sinful nature as though this is a decision they make but it is not, it is the power of God in their life which produces it, but the Christian thinks that this is all there is, but it is not, as it is written; I will send to your counsellor who will be with you then within you, and when this occurs the man is born of Light, and this light will work it's way through the whole body like yeast in dough, and remove the sinful nature and the things pertaining to The flesh, and brings you into Perfection, but the Christian today fails to believe this therefore he fails to produce it.

Whatever happened in Dr. Peterson's life in the early 1980's, Prager's introduction took him back to that place of stark reality and pure humility. Many things amaze me about Jordan Peterson. Perhaps one of the lesser ones is how well he is able to compose and deliver his thoughts in the midst of such difficult emotional stress as he experienced in this interview as a result of Prager's bold introduction. Truly, it is a wise and humble man who is amazed that anyone can see him as good.

      @Litcheck 5 років тому +22

      @@TheBaaz07 I hear you! But it is a tad different because I'm not a fundamentalist Christian nor have I been exposed to only Christian literature. When I say found Christianity I'm mostly talking about how I was introduced to the power behind understanding how the Judeo-Christian ethic was used to create America and its institutions: judicial, fundamental, constitutional, social, etc. The better you understand where our systems came from, the more you'll understand the depth of meaning and importance that not only underlies those institutions, but the more appreciation there is to have about the institutions themselves. I would really suggest you take a look at the series JP has on the psychological significance of the Biblical stories, it's really a deep dive into the psychoanalytical perspective of how there are stories out there that are so much deeper than we are, and the more we unpack them, the more meaning we can find in this world that can be extremely nihilistic and dry. It took finding the Devil (a Christian metaphor for true malevolence, the worth thing in the world to me) for me to understand why I needed Christ (a Christian metaphor for a life with the most possible meaning) because without finding meaning to justify the suffering, I would've killed myself. It's about finding the meaning in life and the systems that outline our lives in the West but particularly in the US. At some level, it's really just an artistic expression, but religion has the deepest infinities in its metaphors so you're not playing a zero sum game without all the piece, you're really cultivating a wide reaching world view. I could've just said 'found religion', and truly it would've meant the same thing to me, the video was just discussing the US for most of the time and it made more sense in my head at the time to stay topical. It's been the best thing to happen to my meaningless nihilistic shell of a life, religion in general, because it's a very powerful tool to play with intellectually (without believing in magic or wtf ever, you know?) Though it's difficult to express my own opinion as the correct one, because Christianity is a very individual story and every can really take their own path through it, some people do believe the fundamentalist stuff, and if it helps them find meaning in this world, more power to them 🤷‍♀️ it's hardly ridiculous bro, you've got to think a little deeper than that. If it was ridiculous, it wouldn't take hold of nearly every society to ever exist, and you're not just clearly smarter than everyone to have ever studied religion, watch out that you're not being too self centered... Just because you can be super reductionistly rational and skeptic hardly makes you the smartest man to ever live. Religious people aren't just idiots lol. First accept that there must be more to it, take some time to listen, and I promise you'll find SOMETHING.

      And Jordan is careful to claim faith because of the seriousness of such a statement to say “I believe in God.” The Bible tells us the greatest commandment is to love the lord with all your heart. There is no man that has done that. Dr. Peterson knows that.

Only the religious think to bestow the name on the dead, which makes no sense, since the dead know nothing. To be a saint now while you are alive, means to follow Christ, be born again of the Spirit, and to live by the Grace Father provides to the believer. Without Christ we can do nothing so give credit to God, where credit is due. You are either a saint now while you live by His Grace, or never after ward. When we rise, we will be changed and I sure look forward to that day. But all glory belongs to God, not because we were "good"

    The young soul asks the Father, "what am I" and the Father replies, "you are light". This satisfies the young soul and he dances around happily shouting " I am light! I am light! After weeks go by the young soul is troubled so he returns to the Father questioning,, "Father, you told me I am light, but what is light? I want to know what light is". So the Father points to the darkness and says, "go into the darkness, that is where you will discover what you are and what light is".
