    Lecture I in my Psychological Significance of the Biblical Stories series from May 16th at Isabel Bader Theatre in Toronto. In this lecture, I describe what I consider to be the idea of God, which is at least partly the notion of sovereignty and power, divorced from any concrete sovereign or particular, individual person of power. I also suggest that God, as Father, is something akin to the spirit or pattern inherent in the human hierarchy of authority, which is based in turn on the dominance hierarchies characterizing animals.

      Tony Mango . I dont know about that. I wonder if what you get out of the Bible reflects who you are. To expand on that; sheep will read "how to be better sheep" because they are drawn towards those passages or interpret the text for application to their lives, while "shepards" or "sheepdogs" will be drawn towards other passages or interpret the text to apply to their lives in that way. Really starting to believe the Bible is a mirror for the "inner self".

    I was in despair, in the depths of alcoholism, watching my accomplishments, financial situation, and marriage fall apart. I heard JBP's podcast episode titled "Toxic Masculinity" where he discusses his friend's suicide. I had already been well past the point of plotting out a suicide plan and that lecture pulled me from the brink. I'm nearly 500 days sober and have a decent job. I've been volunteering for service in Alcoholics Anonymous and have begun going to church recently in an attempt to improve my spiritual condition and societal bonds further. On top of that I've lost 70 pounds since I got sober. I've never been a patient of Dr. Peterson, but he's done more for my mental health than any psychologist I've ever seen formally. If I could see him today, I'd thank him for talking me off the ledge, even though he never knew he was doing it.
    Edit: I never expected to get 1000 likes on a 5 year old video, thank you all so much for the outpouring of support. I’ll surely see some of you as I trudge the road of happy destiny. May God bless you and keep you until then.

    I'm 15 years old and your videos are changing my life! I doubt that there's anyone going to read this, but, who knows...
    I've been born in a Christian family (my father is a Pastor) and I've been struggling hard for the past two and a half years with the apparent contradictions between the objective reality and the way Christianity has been taught to me.
    I was taught to look at reality through the lenses of Christianity. The problem with that was that, by the time I was 13, I had noticed so many inconsistencies and lack of sophistication in the teachings of Christianity that I couldn't handle it anymore and had to admit to myself that it was necessary for me to figure out another way of interpreting the world and/or Christianity.
    Since my father is a pastor, I thought that he could answer my questions and explain to me exactly what certain teachings meant. But turns out that he could barely scratch the surface of the problems I was facing with understanding Christianity.
    Jordan B. Peterson's videos have helped me immensely to unpack the mysteries of Christianity and to understand what does it actually mean to have a meaningful life.
    I'm pretty sure that if it wasn't for your lectures, I'd be going down the path of becoming nihilistic.
    I feel like I'm far from finishing this journey, especially because in your lectures you talk about some quite complicated topics, but you've helped me a lot to find meaning again in life and in religion.
    Thank you very much, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson!

    Jordan Peterson, I grew up without a father, my mother married 5 times and was very unstable. I battled with drug and alcohol abuse, dropped out of school, turned to crime and was a very narcissistic, destructive individual. Sadly, some of this happened while i became a father at 24 years old to a boy, and i ruined my relationship with his mother and essentially my relationship with my son because of the self-destructive nature i nurtured.
    Now I'm 41 years old, that boy is 17 and I now have a 5 year old son and 4 year old daughter with another baby due in May 2019. I still struggle with fear of failure and commitment, feelings of inadequacy, but you have helped me to understand that I am not alone and I can be the father I never had.
    I want you to know that your words and your ideas have helped me become the father I need to be to break the chain of poverty, addiction and abuse that plagues my family tree so that my children can have a better life than I had. You have helped me find meaning in my life; to improve myself so that those that come after can have a better chance.
    Your wisdom combined with that found in the Bible have put me on the path that i was meant to be on. I believe God has sent you as a messenger to guide the men of the world back to Him. You aren't perfect, you are Jordan Peterson, and you are more of a father to me than any other mortal man has ever been.
    My family are forever grateful for you. Without meeting you, we love you. You have helped change the future of my family history.

      Peterson quite literally goes out of his way to confuse what it means to put your faith in Christ, which is evil. If he doesn't believe, the easy thing to do is simply to say you agree with the moral framework but do not believe there is a God.
      What he is doing is dangerous and dishonest in the extreme - attempting to make a brand new religion out of a fantasy regarding an actual faith tradition creates a thousand thousand points of contention regarding something that cannot be rationally or objectively fixed.
      People ought to be honest. If you don't believe Christ is God, then just leave it alone as far as "faith" is concerned, because according to the tradition being referenced, you don't have faith.

He made the journey to, not a complete, but a better understanding of things and in a way has returned (or returns regularly as anyone who follows him knows that this man is an obsessive ((good for us)) thinker) not to suggest he knows more than you, but to explain his own thinking and thus inspire us to do what he has been doing for decades. That is to truly use the mental capacities we are endowed with to deeply and intimately contemplate and adjust our behaviors accordingly to the ideas, ideals and behaviors with which we identify ourselves.

It's like I'm meeting Jordan on the other side of this journey, where I already believed in God but never attempted to conceptualize how reality reflects God ultimately and how someone of massive intellect would find this conclusion. Yes I was told that in my book that the world is proof of God but seeing that truth actually articulated by a man who seems on the brink of belief if he isn't already is divinely beautiful

    It's like God gave him a job to do. To explain the Bible in a way no one has - to bring interest back to the most profound book ever written. If you haven't read it, you're in for a treat! It's not what you think. It's written like the greatest story ever told, yet every word written is TRUTH translated from our Creator to our basic, simple-minded language. It's so beautiful! And Jordan is the perfect person for this job.
    You WILL be different after knowing the Bible. Those who are uninformed & uneducated yet adamant, who will continue to say they don't believe without ever reading a single word of the one piece of "evidence" we have left, aren't to be heard in the matters of our Creator, for they can never even imagine.
    God forgive them, for they know not what they do.

      @@malevvvolent chill the fuk down. You are too irrational. Its an assumption that all these tragedies are because of religion. So no, not gonna waste time on arguing with you about the consequences of religion. Fuk you, you don't deserve it. Lets drop that part. The only reason to follow religion is because of chance that God exist. And no, you will never have direct proof that your ahteist is right. So stfu when you think about talking about science. But so will not we have proof that God exists. And because of that we never gonna prove something that is not available for your observation, being atheist is not any less or more irrational than being religious. Don't fukin argue now about Gods existence. Never gonna prove shit.

      Key Word LMAO
      I’m sorry to say, but you strike me as someone who has no idea what they’re talking about.
      Atheism doesn’t say there is no God. Atheism says there is no evidence for God. We don’t claim to know anything. We claim not to believe because any evidence put forth has either been debunked or just not been persuasive. How is this irrational again?
      And how are the things I mentioned NOT a result of religion? All of them, except for the statement about fascism, are aimed toward muslims and Islam. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but Muslim countries are theocratic - they have no separation between church and state. Religion is what makes the law in these countries. The Quaran and the Hadith, both Muslim texts, are what people follow in order to justify the above-stated beheadings, suicide bombings, and genital mitulation of kids. Please explain to me how this is NOT because of religion.
      As regards to my statement about fascism, the first alliance made by Adolf Hitler was with the Catholic Church. Even during Nazi times, every soldier carried a belt buckle with the words ”Gott Mits Uns” meaning God with Us. In Hitler’s book Mein Kampf, he clearly states that by killing millions of jews he is doing ”God’s work”. Please tell me how this is unrelated to religion.
      I’ll wait, little buddy.

      I'm a Christian who came to Christ as a necessity of what I had done to myself in my life . In 2006, I became a Chr ii stian I'm now 68. It saddens me to listen to how our all do not know that the only way to God the father is through been born again. In your body you are mind body, spirit and soul and until you become born again your spirit of inside you is dead or dormant to sin.Vecause every body sins because all fall short of the Glory of God. When you are born again through Jesus Christ who is love your dead to sin and alive in Christ ,this means that your spirit is alive. You are dead inside to sin. When your baptized in water it's just been baptized, but when your baptized when your born again in full immersion you are born of the spirit. You are given the honour of speaking in a heavenly language called tongues. Your given a calling in life. You are given gifts that come alive in you they are spiritual gifts. You also have your mind renewed with this you become a better personas you display the fruits of the spirit, there are 9 of these love, peace, joy, faith, kindness , Gentleness, self-control, patience, and Grace these operate in you as a Christian a Pentacostal Christian. The other gifts are the five fold ministry gifts Apostles, teacher, prophets healers, Speaking in different kinds NDS of tongues, interpretation of tongues ,workers of miracles. You are given the Armour of God , the shoes of peace , the belt of truth, buckled around your waist with the breastplate of righteousness, the helmet of salvation to protect your mind from satanic attacks , the shield of faith,to protect you from satanic attacks and the sword of the spirit which is your Bible NIV or new King James new testament. You read your Bible old and new testament this tells you about God the Creator through a Ng's , queens. Prophets you read the pslams of King David the proverbs is a book on how to treat yourself and other people it gives you wisdom. Then you read the Gospels of Jesus Christ to get to know him as a man of God, a Son of God, a Miracle Worker through God Everything that Jesus did he did he did because the father showed him. Because man's sin was great he took their sins as an attonement to the Cross because God the father required it of him . We confess our sins to him everyday and we are forgiven of them through merry and grace not by what we do in works. God wanted to have a relationship with his people so he sent Jesus Christ down to be born again as a human child to experience and show man how to live by God's Word of life The Bible. Jesus had to be baptized full emersion by john the baptist to bring his spirit alive. He was then put in a wilderness state where he was tempted by Satan in different kinds of ways. He was rescued by angels to be given water and food then he went about choosing his apostles in their various fields of occupations. I know you know the Catholic way which puts Mary the mother above God's Chosen one. This is wrong. I want you to read a NIV bible and visit a Pentacostal church because they are Very Very different. We still keep the ten commandments and add to it we add to live God with all your heart, to live your neighbour as yourself because love is God God is Love Jesus Christ is Love He is the Lamb of God who took the sins away on the Cross. He is the healer, the teacher, the liver if your soul the prince of peace. He is known by many names attributing to his character and the character of God. There are three persons in one God the father , God the Son, And God the Holy Spirit. A three fold Trinity. There is so very much more. You need to learn this to know. No one comes to the father except through Jesus Christ. Then you read the Epistles these are the men and the women who went along with Jesus Christ in n his three year Ministry. They also include his brothers as well. With the work of the apostles after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and how you can get to heaven. I was sexually abused as a child and a adult I've been to all kinds of doctors and specialists physchologist and P psychiatrist and nothing helped me until I became Born Again. Good luck Don't be afraid go to Jesus. I was a Christian for 14:yrs I spoke to Jesus everyday,I sang to Him, Read His Word To Him, But I was hurt by a person in my church who intimidated me in alot of ways , I became scared and I was coming under attack from Satan oh yes he's real . The last day I went to that church as I was walking across the carpark the devil spoke to me he said this is not your church your not welcome here. But I refused and went in anyway. Before the service I went up to the pastor's wife to say hello, and she said to me The devil wants to take you out.? So I left that church because in the service the Holy spirit spoke to me also and he said go home to your family and show them love ,this world has to learn to love one another. So I did. After 2yrs of being away from church and everything I began to loose my peace and the only way I knew how to get it back was from the Prince of Peace Jesus Christ . I'm loved and I'm happy.

      Gobbledygook. Pre enlightenment there was little difference in the ethical behaviorus in say.. christianity and islam. Christians in Europe were constantly warring, torturing, burning witches etc. I'm sure Islam was no better. Then came the European enlightenment. To it's credit Christian Europe was amenable to a revolution in thinking. The revolution though, did not come from Christianity. It came from individuals doing work that challenged Christianity. It cam from people who showed that christianity was based on falsehood. Again, credit where credit's due. Islam would never have allowed this. Let's get another thing straight. The bible is a collection of writings with no coherent message. Good in parts, very, very bad in other parts. There's nothing in it that has relevance to a modern understanding of ethics, morality or science.

      And this statement goes in line with what Jesus said on Mark 7: 1-9, “Now the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around him. And they saw some of his disciples eat their meal with defiled hands, that is, unwashed ones. (For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands up to the elbow, clinging to the tradition of the men of former times, and when they come from the market, they do not eat unless they wash themselves. There are many other traditions that they have received and cling to, such as baptisms of cups, pitchers, and copper vessels.) So these Pharisees and scribes asked him: “Why do your disciples not observe the tradition of the men of former times, but they eat their meal with defiled hands?” He said to them: “Isaiah aptly prophesied about you hypocrites, as it is written, ‘This people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far removed from me. It is in vain that they keep worshipping me, for they teach commands of men as doctrines.’ You let go of the commandment of God and cling to the tradition of men.” Further, he said to them: “You skillfully disregard the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition.”

    Dear Jordan Peterson
    I dreamt about you today! It was such an emotional encounter and you gifted me my personal bible with my own Gospel in it and you told me to find proof for that in the bible. So I am taking the opportunity to write you.
    You have given me an understanding of the bible through UA-cam videos which is outside of the box. I started to try to understand it, instead of trying to disprove every phrase. In your lectures you take the bible and apply your perspective, the perspective of a psychologist. You bring an interdisciplinary view into this world, which opens the door wide for further insight.
    All the best

    This series exposes the relevance and significance of the Bible to todays society, from the individual to all humankind.
    It is simply astonishing in its depth of scholarship and practical advice, mixed with a spark of humour, conveyed in a manner relevant to all strata’s of society from a deep and profound degree of understanding developed by Professor Jordon Peterson over decades of personal study and practical investigation and application through his clinical experience making this the most important exposition of the Bible I’ve encountered in my 66 years.
    However there is a caution I would proffer in relation to the content which is the implied responsibility to heed and act on the knowledge that is disseminated because no-one will be able to claim ignorance of the consequences of their actions either personally or as a society once they have watched this.
    This series is literally priceless yet Professor Peterson has made it available to everyone at no cost.

      Exactly because of this.
      A lot of the philosophy of freemasonry delves around the concept of analysing and extracting the knowledge of the ancients, as a way to preserve the truths which they had already figured out which we have yet to reach in our age.
      Jordan either is a freemason who is a student of such philosophical context... Or he is the manifestation that we are finally intellectually advanced enough to reach the same conclusions.
      Not only that but to compare our understanding with the past and realize the similarities.
      Thus increasing the interest in trying to further study the past to identify what else they got right.

      So? Does that mean you have to force your beliefs down other people's throats?

    I love your mindset Mr Peterson. I have been trying to follow the Bible guidelines for 3 decades!! I'm just never very good at "articulating" my thoughts. But I found and understand that I'm on the right track because of TGC's videos. The God Culture did a wonderful biblical research by testing passages and books and comparing it with timeline events and it's mind-blowing!!!

      Chris Sorry but no. In the age of distractions there will always be a massive group that pays no attention. The 2,500 people who have written to him saying their life has been changed for the better say so much considering most people in 2018 don't write letters they send emails. This age has a dire mental health issue and this man is saving lives. He saved mine. There will be statues of this man. Guaran-fucking-tee it.

    I got myself together after watching this entire biblical series (must say that the very end of the last episode was surprising and so amazing!). I got married, changed my career for good and starting my own business, became closer to my family than ever. I sincerely thank JBP so much for his wisdom and spreading real good in the world!

      @@grawitty8741 in my opinion praying can help i guess cause you're projecting it to the universe (if someone is praying for that's great) but in this context your asking this persone to pray for you🤔 did he even see your message? Anyways that's not my point. First you have to believe in your self cause only you, il say it again cause it might sucks to hear this but it's the truth so only you can change. It starts with the way you think your mind is the most powerful tool that humans possess, it can be used to help you attain success or it can take you to the depths of failure. You must learn to use your mind to its optimal level if you want to live life on a new level. What you think becomes your reality. What i also do in some cases is i visualize myself being were i want to be feeling the feeling of being there and it makes me feel a certain way (positive). Stay focused on what you want cause you can do anything and everything if you put your mind into it my friend it's definitely not going to be easy cause are brain has been programming and reacts automatically from past experiences so fuck the excuse your brain is going to tell you fuck what other people has to say about what you want cause a lot of them will not agree, try to tell you that you can't, are you serious usually they will say these thing because they don't think THEY could do it or what ever. I want to try and help you tell you more but i said the essentials. Hopefully you understand what my options was and i believe in you in your journey keep your head up hight and stay Focus buddy. One day at the time and it will wen it come with time.

    I love this series. I will need to listen to it a few times to really digest it all but, I am a very spiritual person in general. I came to a lot of these conclusions on my own through meditation and learning about all people, all cultures, and all religions. I am just a curious and accepting person naturally. I love to learn and travel. It has changed my world! I do not know how to talk about it though, he is good with articulation. I am dyslexic so it is hard to for me to put all of my thoughts into words.

    You can appreciate how profound the impact of this man has been by seeing how many of the comments on this video are only one or two weeks old, yet the video was uploaded 5 years ago (as of Jan 2023). Prof. Peterson continues to excite and inspire the minds of millions globally.
