I fail to see how two tiny brief reviews of Jordan Peterson 101 can give anyone any insight on how close he's to the Kingdom of God. You're not even halfway through the tip of the iceberg and making these claims for comment's sake. Not a good sign.
I would absolutely love to see Pastor Wilson react to this video exchange: ua-cam.com/video/QuJbAs23Juk/v-deo.html
Please forward this along if possible.
@@einarabelc5 "Close to the kingdom" is a phrase that is taken from the words of Jesus to the man who answered wisely with regard to the law, which of the commandments were the greatest, but the understanding is that close is still too far. Salvation is a sheep vs. goats thing, not a game of horseshoes, that is you're in or you're out.
Your point is well taken, that the law of God doesn't justify. Only the Gospel can do that. I don't speak for Peterson, but he gives clear preference for the Christian faith as a philosophical framework, somewhat like one of his mentors, Jung.
@@duncescotus2342 Very akin to Jung. In fact Peterson justifies his whole thing about Aion as people confounding Karl's approach with that of occultism. I have met Peterson in conference and I have thanked him for what he has done before he became truly famous, but that night there was something upsetting about his approach, which hasn't changed at all and it's still confirmed every time I check back on the guy. That is that mankind can save itself by imitation of the Christ idea and bring forward "heaven on earth", by following truth. Doug put it best on his Right Response ministries commentary to Joel Webbon, something I've been saying for the past 4 years or so. Peterson lacks complete awareness of the True Redemptive Grace of God.
I don't think any close approximation can serve anyone, in fact it can lead people astray, which is my main concern with Peterson and his tendency to portray things as idolatry of mankind. Jung was a nice boy either, adulterous, dabbling in occultism, accused of being a warlock, contemporary of Crowley AND Lewis, who actually confessed he went from atheist to occultist before being saved.
It's all lies wrapped in truth and the fact that Peterson pretends to USE Christ as a tool for psychotherapy(because that's who he is and how he conceptualizes the world) in order to "save" mankind from itself makes it all even more so frustrating. We get it that he cares about people, but he doesn't know God, nor does he really understand Sin.
@@einarabelc5 Ok, wow, didn't that about Jung. I thought he was a stiff Swiss Calvinist whose dad was a minister. You know those PK's. They almost have to go prodigal. But I think Jung came around again later in life. He sort of took Christianity for granted I think. There's actually a video here on UA-cam where he speaks a bit on his faith. It's iffy, but hopeful:
ua-cam.com/video/2AMu-G51yTY/v-deo.html
Crowley freaked out the Universalist-leaning-semi-gnostic-quasi-Christian-alcoholic but soft hearted Dylan Thomas.
C. S. Lewis had to go far and wide so he could be the comprehensive but accessible voice for reason that he was.
Yes, Peterson is uplifting man as the highest creative good, and the highest CREATED good. This is true and sound Bible, but man is fallen, and he has yet to get that down into his gut.
We will see this brother come around. I have no doubts about that.
But just as many in the past tried to co-opt Aristotle, or worse Marcus Aurelius or George Washington or some other double minded fence sitting phony for Christian ends, they err by seizing a wounded soldier to put up front. Rather, tend to his wounds, minister to him, and then he will be fit to serve.
I was one of those young men that flocked to Jordan Peterson during my last year of college (2017).
I knew I was heading to graduate with really no idea what to do next but save up and move away from my family so I can force myself to sink or swim.
Went from hearing him say "Find the heaviest thing you can carry and carry it" and started taking responsibility for myself, to listening to Voddie Baucham, John Macarthur, Doug and others and have been content for the better part of 5 years (2017-Present).
I'm 28 years old, bought a house this past February and am currently in the process of making it ready for my wife to be (wherever she may be so that I may sweep her off her feet).
All that to say, thank you Doug and other men like you who are that elder generation calling younger men to BE men. Hearing so many call me to the mat was the encouragement I needed to even believe I could BE that (Godly) man.
So happy for you, congrats!
I am literally in the same boat man. About to turn 27. I was so discouraged by the church's lack of propheticness, and I saw this man speaking many biblical truths at such a depth to the culture that I've been starving for. The Lord used Him to lead me to leaders like Baucham and MacArthur.
@@soulfuzz368 All glory to God! It's truly been a ride, but I'm enjoying the scenery.
@@calebgeary3890 Same boat indeed brother. You get to a point where you realize the world is serving you nothing but dust and poison all while lying saying it sustenance. There was something about hearing the truth that was like honey. It was sweet and I couldn't (and can't) get enough of it.
Keep on persevering brother!
praise God. I am raising a young man (he’s 4) and reading your post was so encouraging! may the Lord continue to guide you in His truth by His grace.
That line "...he's telling them something that somebody else ought to have been telling them..." hit me hard. May God forgive us and purge our ranks of hirelings.
I'm really encouraged by Dr. Peterson's passion for the youth. You can just tell that he cares so much for them.
Because he spells a few curse words and starts crying like a mid life crisis man? The relevance is in the contrast, not on the quality of his speech. His point is that mankind can save itself by believing all the nonsense he spouts. It's a deception, just like the current deception that's in fashion. Don't believe Doug Wilson based on three five minute videos about the subject at hand. He doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to Jordan Peterson.
You have to take into account the Jordan Peterson isn't even a Christian, he still speaks from a worldly point of view.
Doug is correct, Jordan Peterson is speaking to young hearts today better than some in the pulpit, but imagine what God could do through him if he was born again.
That is my continued prayer, both for his sake and the sake of the millions who listen to him.
I generally feel the same way and have prayed many times for his salvation. If anything else JBP is getting people interested in the Bible - he certainly did for me a few years ago before God saved me. So God is working through him even now. Otoh, JBP is so popular and influential in part because he doesn’t know the Lord and he’s preaching a false gospel that doesn’t offend as nearly as many people as the true Gospel of Christ does.
Imagine what God has already done through JP, and what He can (and will) do through anyone He chooses.
Jordan Peterson seems to be regurgitating the principles of the Age of the Enlightenment.All the values that would improve the lives of mankind without the need for God. Give people a better education,show them the error of their ways -without God is the message.Peterson will not accept Christ into his life,will not fully accept God’s law,he still lives in the “flesh”. To follow Peterson’s supposedly” wise” words ,a person who is suppressing the truth in unrighteousness and the idea of trying to glorify God is alien to his way of thinking . No,the “world “might look up to him,but his heart isn’t in the right place.
peterson has declared all over the internet that he believes in God and Jesus. he gets very emotional at times when talking about God and His Word and how His Word is the foundational truth. i don't know what people need from him to be accepted as a brother - a televised baptism?
You want to know what Jordan Peterson does that most people aren't willing to do? He's willing to speak the truth no matter how harsh it sounds. While everyone was telling our youth, "you are perfect the way you are", he was telling them, "you aren't perfect, and you have a lot of improvements to make!".
If churches proclaimed the depravity of humanity as boldly and bravely we would have another Great Awakening on our hands.
The Church tells us that we’re hopelessly depraved and only the passive process of sanctification can resolve this problem. Trust in Christ, die to self, surrender any ambition, submit to pastor, give a portion of the little you have for The Kingdom and put on a happy face.
Dr. Peterson tells us that we have a side of us that’s wickedly evil and that’s the side we have to overcome. It’s gonna take everything you have, you’ll have to go through hell, it’ll be damn hard, but it’s worth it.
Peterson is popular because he is asking you to be your own hero. Every man wants to be the hero. But only Christ can carry that burden. So dust off your Bible and fall back in line. The hero is coming… someday.
@@shaunschulte2258 I agree that Peterson doesn't have the gospel message. But I would also say that most churches do not teach the depravity of man. Our current culture wants to sterilize everything with "kindness" without realizing how horrible those good intentions are.
If we want more converts we need to be more openly and boldly counter culture by giving tough love.
Jordan Peterson doesn't speak the truth. He's a false prophet inserted to mislead you towards a precipice of self-idolatry and self-deception while the Leftist culture pushes you right behind, he's pulling you towards perdition.
@@shaunschulte2258 He's a FALSE prophet indeed, but what you spouted as a counter argument is NOT Biblical Truth at all whatsoever. That sounded like Catholicism and Churchology, but never Christianity. Nobody said anything about putting up a happy face. Wherever you got that from, it sucks!!
@@waakow You don't need church to teach you your own depravity, The Holy Spirit will make sure you learn that on due time IF He chooses you to.
Examples of the childless attitude:
My friend (12 years older than I) stated she didn't want kids, and her husband scorned them openly for being loud in public. She becomes a nurse, then a pediatric nurse. 10 years later, she's okay with children. She admitted she didn't know how to act around them.
I see my sister only every two years or so. Each year she says she doesn't like children. But I have children, and she immediately gets used to them, holding their hands, responding to their cries, and caring for them.
My brother's sister stated recently that she found children uncomfortable and didn't know how to act around them. Then, immediately, responds in nurturing ways to my childrens' requests for food and to play.
The Anti-children sentiment has surrounded me. I was anti-child once, and it's no wonder. The devil is lying, and people are believing his lie.
Continue to pray for Jordan to convert. It could happen
Born again 4 years ago… Jordan was my gateway . Thank you Jesus
If Jordan was your gateway are you sure you were? You can't serve two masters, still you have them both in one message.
@@einarabelc5 I don’t serve Jordan I serve my Lord Jesus Christ .
I have prayed for him often, especially when I learned of his recent health struggles. It's a true mercy from God that he is alive and functional at all. I do hope he comes to Christ! I like him as a person. (As much as you can "like" someone you've never met.) I appreciate a lot of what he has to say. But some of his fans are creepy to the point of cultish. If he genuinely came to Christ, many of them would turn on him in an instant. He has to be willing to give up all the fame, influence, book deals, speaking engagements, and (I'm sure) money he has come to have.
"It's a true mercy from God that he is alive and functional at all."
The more you learn about the events of that health crisis, and his wife's health crisis that adjoined it, the harder it is not to think something dramatically spiritual was at work on both sides of the war over those people.
@@JD-xz1mx Indeed!
He made a fool out of himself in front of Slavoj Zizek precisely for not being a Christian. I doubt he'll do any of that, specially with the "family" he has sucking off from him instead of finding a real job. But God is almighty, so it really is up to Him. It WON'T be up to Jordan, that's for sure.
I’d like to see Dr. Jordan Peterson and Doug Wilson speak about God, Responsibility, and Family
Right? Or just to talk about whatever it will be an amazing video.
Amen! I'd pay Good money to hear that!
This made me almost cry. After a divorce, I found Peterson, then Apologia, then Doug. I was homeschooled, and still didn't know this stuff.
Thank you for all you do. Canon Plus is the closest thing I have to a church in a purple state. Per the advice in one of Doug's books, I'm working to reform a local church or start a faithful fellowship.
Keep praying! God lead my husband and I to an AMAZING church in a purple state. We're so thankful to the Lord.
@@rebekahguilder602 PA, by any chance?
I actually just a got a PM from someone trying to start one in Corry!
@@robkam643400 yes PA. God is moving! (We moved too, from NY, HAHA.)
@@rebekahguilder602 can you share the name of the church? The one I was PM'd about is still over an hour away, I hope yours is closer!
@@rebekahguilder602 (and I moved from NY four months ago, haha)
Never in my life have I prayed so hard, for a specific person I will probably never meet, for the LORD to save them. His salvation wouldn't add a single person to the number of the elect, nor does God in any way need him, but he would spend every waking breath until the day he died glorifying God and he would have what he's missing in the world. A "WHY". And he would be broken over the right things and the brokenness he has now would be healed and so many of his tears would be replaced with joy and it would happen extremely publicly (until his current fan base couldn't take it anymore). I would be an incredibly visible example for the church militant to see what actual transformation looks like. Plus we gain a brother!
yes.
You're quite smart, you know that?
WHEN DO WE GET TO SEE JP AND DW SIT DOWN FOR A CHAT?
I LOVE JORDAN SO MUCH!!! I NEED HIS ADVICE IN MY PATHETIC LIFE 😭
He warns about communism
He defends the Christian faith & history
He advises against divorce
He advises young ppl to marry
He preaches good morals
His psychological wisdom and insights are deep & phenomenal
His vulnerability is palpable
His brilliance is unmistakable
His “Christian” wisdom is better than 90% of the so called “church!”
His love of ppl is genuine
OF COURSE he’s missing the boat when it comes to the truth of Christ!!
But we need Jordan’s voice now!!
Thanks, Brother Doug.
Great stuff here, Doug!! Been praying for JP for years!
Pastor Doug, I a married 32 year old man, and I stumbled onto your material about 3 years ago. You were telling me the things I needed to hear that no one in my life was telling me 👏🏽
I love Canon+ so much, all the content and the audio books, reading by the authors, It feels personal. Like you know them lol
Right? Isn't that just super cool!! I still come to youtube for the comments 😂
I think we started with a bad assumption… 18 year old does not equal kid. You get what you expect. The standard you set is what you get. Treat your “kids” like adults and they’ll rise to the occasion because every child deep down inside is trying to be like mom and dad…
Indeed. You might qualify it with “young adult,” but I wouldn’t say “kid”, unless to emphasize immaturity. Our society seems to rush children towards adolescence and then locks them into that as a perpetual state (Peter Pan syndrome) well into their 30’s.
I’m loving these and all the Cannon plus products.
You are so right on, Doug. I’ve been listening to JP for a couple years now and he is a “voice crying in the wilderness “ for this generation. And yes, he is “not far from the kingdom “. I like that comment.
When are we gna have Uncle Doug sit down with JP?
Mr. Wilson, please consider reaching out to him and witnessing to him!
Finding Jordan Peterson’s biblical lectures years ago was what provided me with the moral tension and motivation that finally slingshotted me right past his somewhat gnostic view of the Bible and into the Christian Kingdom. Ill forever be grateful to him and to God for that!
Get Canon + best money you can spend.
Peterson's heart for young people and the truth ❤️. How wonderful they are listening. Praying for him regarding salvation and for continued freedom to speak out and for much good fruit to be born from all the work he is doing. He's a rare man.
I'd consider myself a youth and it's really true I haven't been able to relate to my peers as much because I was raised to be considerate towards other people (just one example) and yet I live in a world where a very little number of my peers share that or even have an idea where to begin... The demoralization has been going on too long, I pray for the Messiah to come and put things right with haste. I want to be with Him.
I am all for our elders and our youth
LOVED this one; thanks so much!!
Doug, I loved your book: " When the man comes around " great take on the truth of the book of Revelation:)
The proof of the power of prayer is playing out in UA-cam clips…an amazing God we serve!
This was my fav post of yours Doug
It is no wonder truth, truth, truth sets us free.
Great video, Doug! I also love your expression “close to the kingdom”
Best one yet Mr Wilson. Pray for JP
I've always wanted to see Jordan Peterson (or Carl Benjamin) to meet with Douglas Wilson for a conversation series. The results would be utterly fascinating.
I would love for you to interview Jordan if you could. I would absolutely pay money to see that
Excellent analysis!
After a time of debauchery and lack of purpose during college, 5 years since my "deconstruction" phase, Jordan Peterson was the guy who inspired me to rethink my actions again and to seek guidance through God's Word. I'm about a year into the faith, still stumbling and making mistakes, BUT I also got married and have led my divorced parents and siblings to reconnect with their spiritual life and to be active in a church and I've been way more inspired to read the Bible than ever before. It's all thanks to God for introducing this man to me when I had no direction in life at all. Let's hope and pray he becomes a follower of Christ because we really need more men like him.
Awesome work Doug!
i've thought the same thing, on the one hand it's good to hear some of the things he saying, on the other hand, it should be coming out of the church.
He is so close and so far! He’s attempting to bridge together Christianity, Islam, and Judaism.
Amazing!
Very good assessment. I go off and on with Peterson. I love his passion and his judgment on today's society , but then I hear so many of His conclusions and I'm like: "No Peterson!! You lead them right up to the perfect road and then sent them right off the humanistic cliff of works righteousness!" LOL
Me too on all accounts. Well said. Yep, He saved
Amen and Amen
Hey Canon Press, do you have any intention of interviewing Jordan Peterson.
That's the most wound up I've heard Jordan in awhile, go-go-go potty mouth Peterson. Tears and Righteous Anger!
Amen.
Yay!
God be with Jordan.
Would love to see Jordan Peterson on Man Rampant.
Jordan Peterson did a wonderful series on the Bible.
He says he doesn't have all the answers.
Hes not silly stupid or cynical.
Give him the respect he deserves.
Learn from him and he might learn from you all.
These two guys should meet, I remember watching Doug take on the late great Christopher Hitchens in that documentary Collision in 2009 and I thought at the time he came out smelling of roses. As for Jordan well.... his reputation proceeds him.
Would have loved to also hear how he is ultimately still not telling young people of the one truth they need to hear most, the Gospel? I’m glad Doug could point out helpful things Peterson said, but disappointed at the lack of critique and emphasis on what he still lacks.
There was a time (not that long ago) when society was "close to the kingdom" in that respect. I think that's one reason why JP gets it. He also understands logical deduction & belief within society pretty good. The problem is, to be ambitious and succeed (in general terms) you have to adopt the current ideology (politically speaking).
Peterson is very interesting to listen to (if your educated/semi educated) but I don't buy into his lobster analysis. He speaks with a fair amount of authority and knows his stuff and for that I respect him.
The Bible tells us children are a blessing for sure. Families were large/larger a generation or two ago. A society that shifts away from God is going to devolve on many levels and unwittingly idolise pretty much anything that takes a fancy. Its not called the last days for nothing.
Bottom line, Government does not have the answer to fix humanities woes, but it excels in piling up debt. The so called educated people influencing the young are not that far from the blind leading the blind.
Can anyone give me a link to the clip Doug is reacting to? I found a much longer video that I thought was it, but it doesn't seem to contain that question.
Let’s pray for Jordan. May he submit to
Christ and his grace. Then I believe he will be reborn as of the greatest Christian thinkers since cs lewis
Anybody have the original source for the JP video. Been running searches but I can't find it
“Not far from the kingdom”? He’s in. His latest lectures at the Franciscan Uni affirmed that for me. He’s reaching people who couldn’t be reached any other way.
Peterson is willing to tell the truth but he is also willing to hear, exchange of ideas, I learned that last part with James White and Michael Brown. Repeat what others are trying to explain with better words. Accept the challenges.
What video is this clip from?
(You should really start putting them in the description)
What is the name of the full video? I’m struggling to find it
You should go on his podcast
Jordan Peterson is literally the secular Douglas Wilson
What does Jordan Peterson need to do to finally become Christian, since "he is not far from the kingdom". Thank you mister Wilson.
Im christian and have listened to peterson for hours to try to figure out what he is saying and I dont know. like the bible says ◄ 1 Corinthians 3:19 ►
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness";
IMO Jordan is the Bill Graham of this season, yet better, because Billy gave the gospel and left them with false hope or for the false teachers.
Jordan makes it clear you need to seek this final piece out for yourself.
First time I saw a clip of Jordan I’ve been so wanting to create content in a similar vein to what he is hitting on, but using scriptural support for it. Nearing the jump off point and just trying to put the pieces together. Clearly it’s needed. Biggest thing holding me back is me…minus the tech stuff that makes me feel like an old man with a remote control.
What talk is this from?
Why does Doug look like a next-gen rendered video game character in this clip?
Please tell me you watch Paul VanderKlay's videos?!
Jordan Peterson, William lane Craig, bishop Fulton sheen, and Doug Wilson all have something in common they care about what they say
God has been keeping him on a short leash and necessarily so, as a new believer he (Jordan) is grappling with the fundamentals of Christianity and is doing a remarkably good job all things considered
he is a believer now?
JBP is not a true believer - that’s news that everyone would have heard. Where is a video of him saying that he believes Jesus Christ was God in the flesh, born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, willingly died on the cross as the ultimate sacrificial lamb so that wicked sinners could be forgiven and justified before God, rose from the dead three days later, met with people in his glorified body over several weeks and finally ascended into heaven in front of hundreds of witnesses? (And where’s the video of him recanting all the Gnostic nonsense that makes up large proportion of his life’s work?)
If he believes all that and he has been miraculously transformed by that belief in that he now hates the sin in his life he used to love and now loves to obey and please the God he used to deny and rebel against - if he has been born again, then and only then is he a true believer.
If/when God has mercy on JBP, opens his eyes to the Truth and draws him to Christ I will cry tears of joy. I pray that God will. What a day to celebrate that would be. I can’t even imagine how blown his mind would be to suddenly know that the Bible is even truer than he already used to believe. I know mine was. How can it be? But it is, the gospel is the Truth, Jesus really is the Way.
The first signs of a new believer is when they declare Jesus Christ is Lord of lords and King of kings and the only way to Heaven.
I would like to see how Peterson would react to Christian apologetics
The question Peterson would struggle with - “Jordan ,is there only one way to Heaven?”
My advice to those 18 year old's with skulls full of mush - "Get out and don't go to college and stoke your ambition somewhere else."
They bleeped JP when he said something vulgar but didn’t bleep him when he cursed with God’s name? Wtf man
I just re-listened to it, and I didn’t hear JP use God’s name. But maybe I missed it. It could be that that is how the original video was edited.
@@kaylar3197 It happens at 3:41. I really don't give a $h1t if it was part of the original video, Canon has an editing team, and they decided to leave it in. Perhaps they thought it wasn't "in vain" but to be honest with you, this is one issue where I don't give the benefit of the doubt. The very fact that Doug didn't respond to it, or you yourself didn't even notice it.. we're all way too numb to it :/
Sometimes I come here and Cannon has 30+k subs. Other times it shows 70+k. Funny that, hmmm YT?
Early birds!
Without Christ and without hope in this world.. . .
When I first Heard Jordan Peterson, all I could think was, "Well, so what's new? Jim Wilson was telling us guys to stand up straight, accept responsibility, get married, and be a faithful responsible father and husband back in 1978.
It's not new, but those voices have, for decades now, been drowned out by a chorus of voices advocating against those things.
I think it's incredibly dangerous to label Peterson "incredibly close to the kingdom". He's a man who, however learned in biblical ethics, principles and morals, hasn't/won't surrender to Christ. He's reduced the Lord to a symbol of philosophical transcendence, which of course He is not less than, but in personal relationship He is eternally more than. Not to truly give your life and soul over to PERSONAL and not merely PHILOSHOPHICAL relationship with Jesus, means he's just as lost as a guy on death row for murder. Yes, it seems clear the Lord is after Mr. Peterson's soul veraciously and appears to be in the process of softening his heart, but until he repents and believes on the name (the person and not just the image/character/symbology) of Jesus, the Lord's pursuit of his soul could well prove to be another example to be made of the good seed falling on rocky ground. Pray for him and that he'll seek the gift of faith the Lord has given us in his grace that we're able to enter true relationship with God, but don't fall prey to the gambit of religiously secular teachings of a man who openly doesn't want to be identified as a Christian because his disdain for being pigeon-holed into a "club" outweighs his desire to openly proclaim Christ's Lordship in his life.
How is it you're able to see he hasn't done this thing you say that he needs to do
I have often thought the same thing. The people in charge of the church haven’t a backbone to standup to anything. My wife went liberal and we are on the brink of divorce with a pastor encouraging her and telling her her happiness is what matters. No adultery, abuse, or abandonment, just not emotionally supportive. I really needed a pastor to kick her in the butt and if she did that to her family she is out the church. but I got a little clown who probably thinks he is a little girl trapped in a man’s body.
That always confused me. "If you love me, you will keep my commandments." Why dedicate your career to ministry if you don't even love the Lord?
@@josephbrandenburg4373 right!?!?
Now everytime says "people are stupid", I speak up. Sure, we make comparatively stupid decisions at times, but demoralizing people made in God's image is destructive.

Do you know about what time the question Doug reacts to happens?
EDIT: Found it, starts about 59 minutes in.
I don't know if I would say JP is "near the kingdom" it seems like he thinks the gospel is an example to follow and not Jesus saving a dead and lost people by substitution. Maybe he is near, but it feels like he's so close that he's really way off the mark. In the dark with his eyes open, I guess.
I would agree, but those who earnestly search for the truth find Jesus.
He’s a Gnostic and a mystic so he’s a lot farther away than it appears to some people. But, reality is that God can transform anyone, in any spiritual condition into a new creature in an instant.
The day God saved me I was so, so far away from the Kingdom and had been for years, but when God opened my eyes to the truth it completely changed who I was.
I was told by a customer once that i shouldnt have kids because there are too many people in the world and were destroying the planet. I told her "No, I'm going to have 5. I got to make up for everyone not having kids." Hahaha she was so annoyed, I didn't care lol 😆 Trying to tell me to not have kids probably just because she was middle aged and had none of her own, sad clown.
You know what I'm going to ask for....Sam Harris Demolishes Christianity
It's his first rebuttal in the debate with WLC.
Do it, Doug!
Peterson is a pre-Christian prophet. A Jeremiah type prophet in a sense.
Why do people go to churches with bad preaching? Also, church leadership is impeding the growth of young men, and worse, pushing missions and seminary to men who can't preach or teach. Churches have become bizzarro worlds, preaching the virtue of one, while doing the opposite. We need better elders in the church.
I suspect Peterson would argue that the concept of a Christ figure is a socially necessary construct; not necessarily real but beneficial to society in an evolutionary sense.
Love ya but cmon. The most basic etiquette here is a link in the description to the video youre critiquing.
Doesn't Calvinism preach to us, the younger generation, total depravity and the fact that there is 0 good in or of us?
How does that make us feel?
You do not understand total depravity. The unregenerate man “ could” be more moral than a regenerate man,but is a slave to sin, his Will is in bondage,he is under the power of the prince of the air. He will not submit to God’s law nor can he do so.The unregenerate man cannot please God.I could say more but the Bible will explain it better.
@@chrismachin2166 I know the Bible well, but I don't know Calvinism well.
@@TheMidnightModder Calvinism can be a “loaded” word. The reformed view of salvation (Charles Spurgeon being one of the best known preachers) is just following and understanding biblical revelation.
It should make us feel like we need a savior who can give us new hearts that love God and hate sin
He doesnt your shallow kingdom
I wish Dr Peterson were near the Kingdom, but to him the Bible is merely his latest tool to spread his religion of Alchemy. I'd love to get my hands on transcripts of the gnostic sermons he delivered in the deconsecrated church he used to own.
If believing in something other than Christianity disqualifies you from being "near" accepting of Christianity, then no one has ever been "near the kingdom" ever. All converts believed something else before they believed in Christ b y definition.
Unfortunately, this is ultimately the truth of what JBP is doing - spreading Gnosticism and Atheistic Christianity (although, I believe it’s with some of the best intentions an unregenerate heart can muster).
I pray that God would have mercy on JBP and draw him to Christ so that he might repent and be saved.
Carl Jung was a big time self avowed Gnostic (Peter Jackson @ Truth Exchange has some great podcasts on Jung and his Gnosticism) and Peterson is a big disciple of Jung. It will take some radical regeneration work from the Holy Spirit for Peterson to break out of his Jungian Gnosticism and fully understand biblical truth.
Jordan Peterson needs to stop crying in everything he does so I can stop crying watching everything he does. Haha.
I don’t think this video should have been used for its use of profanity
A young Earth creationist's opinion isn't worth much.
I'm a fan of Peterson generally. As to whether or not he's close to the Kingdom, I go back and forth. I am curious as to why you bleeped the f-word but not the vile way he used the Lord's name. That's way worse, IMO.
He’s not really, he’s just extremely far to the right within Satan’s counterfeit, false light (he belongs to the white half of this symbol ☯️, not this one ✝️). But God can save anyone in any condition, so I pray for his salvation.
i'm pretty sure peterson has already come to Christ. he talks about how his wife's faith brought him to faith. how he has studied the Bible and it is the foundational truth which is man's source and guide.
if he hasn't come to Christ yet, he sure passed a lot of weekly church goer's and is quickly approaching that narrow gate.
